Today’s Lunar essence, from ECLIPSE:

9 AM PDT July 1st the Aries Moon squares Vesta. Our highest values are in conflict with our feelings–we must ask ourselves why. It’s likely a matter of poorly defined priorities and assumptions that just shouldn’t be. Void begins at 10:42 AM PDT; the Moon enters Taurus at 2:43 PM Pacific time. It’s 5 PM PDT before the Taurus Moon makes its first aspect, a sextile to Jupiter. We are optimistic, especially about our assets and skills–make sure they are as fit and abundant as they seem, before giving them away. 10 PM PDT the Moon squares Ceres and Venus, sextiles Neptune, and opposes Saturn. Reality may seem particularly harsh, and we may seek escape only to find authorities block our path. This is our own resistance to dealing with our reality reflected back at us–if we accept our own power, and so our own responsibilities, we can see a dream or two come true, or gain some reward, in the near future–otherwise, whatever we indulge in is gonna cost.
