1:30 AM PDT of the 13th the Moon trines retro Mercury, Fire to Fire. It may be easy to speak passionately–just remember that Jupiter is still relatively close to Merc, and may cause us to overdo or grossly exaggerate. Speak your truth, show your passion, but don’t add that extra flourish, if tempted–it could be something you’d like to erase from memory and the ether, later! A 4 AM PDT trine to Jupiter really tests our Self-control, especially in the social sphere–but may also function to ‘get the word out,’ and allow for hot, salty communication freedom!

7 AM Pacific the Leo Moon quincunxes Venus in Pisces; we may be very hard on ourselves as we try to measure up to the ideal of Love (this may give a taste of what’s to come with the Full Moon–see current newsletter #5). Harsh judgment of the Self isn’t necessary; Leo Moon, plus all those energies in Aries (Uranus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Sun) all say that Self-awareness and conscious attention to personal needs should be capturing a large portion of our thought and effort right now.

ADDED: Thought this was important enough to add: The Moon enters Virgo at 11:40 PM Pacific–and shifts our thinking just a little bit toward the details, who’s responsible for what, and what we might get for our efforts. Immediately on entry the Moon opposes Neptune–with both entities at 00 of their respective signs, we may confront the dream with the emotional reality–and one or the other is likely to come up lacking. Since this opposition kicks off the Moon’s transit of Virgo, Neptune’s dreamy, confusing fogginess will linger–we may be struggling to stay ‘awake,’ completely puzzled by any number of issues, or subject to the weaving of stories and illusion–so take care.
