4 AM PDT the Moon trines Ceres in Water. Ceres is retrograde right now, and such flowing contact from the Moon could release a rush of maternal feeling, feelings on authority or recent negotiations, or could unleash a ‘statement’ by Mother Nature herself in the form of weather or natural event. Stay on your toes.

7:30 AM PDT the Cancer Moon opposes Pallas and quincunxes Neptune, and all are at 29 tense degrees. This is definitely a challenge to our wisdom, and our ability to stick with what’s smart even when tempted, deceived, or fed an illusion. Don’t hesitate to stick with what we know to be wise–you could avoid the start of a big problem.

Void begins 8:31 AM PDT; Moon enters Leo at 9:09 AM PDT.

The Leo Moon’s semi-sextile to Venus just after 7 PM PDT may give us a sense of appreciation that is played out with the Moon’s 9 PM opposition to Vesta. It’s a good thing we are reminded by Venus of what we treasure, as the opposition to Vesta sets our teeth on edge; we may wonder why something we revere and build our life around is so d*mn irritating! That’s just life, I guess, and the early reminder of how important the irritant really is to us is vital to keeping us from getting into a stand-off with same.
