5:30 AM PDT and the Moon sextiles Vesta and squares Venus; we may try to implement what we know to be right, only to have values, relationships, or financial concerns conflict with this. It seems this should all flow smoothly together, and yet it doesn’t–with resolution coming when we get honest about what Venusian thing we are less than righteous about (for instance, we may say we honor our parents or children, but when the situation calls on us to live that, we may feel put upon or too busy–and this shows us quite clearly where we’re not quite walking our talk).

1:45 PM Pacific the Moon enters Sag–and right away the Moon squares Ceres and trines Uranus, and we start our Moon-in-Sagittarius time with a challenge, of sorts: either authority challenges us, or we use our own authority to assert our emotional agenda, and in either case we are trying to show how free-thinking, independent, and avant garde we are–uh-oh. Think of how you behave when you are feeling very headstrong, just wanting to show how nothing can constrain you–’Nothing can tie me down!” That’s how we’ll behave, and it will take whatever form is most characteristic of each of us at our most rebellious. Be Self-aware, and try to minimize the fallout. I knew one woman who was legendary in her family for her great act of rebellion as a pre-teen: she threw orange peels at the TV in protest when she was told to stop watching and go do her chores. Try to make your eruption as minimalistic as hers was.
