Just when you start to think the Universe has suddenly stopped making sense (as when something seems to come out of nowhere and all you can think is, ‘Why the h*ll is that coming at me?!’) something else comes along that says, relax! You’re on the right track. That happened to me today–a mystifying, slightly negative encounter that just didn’t make sense, followed by an incredible show of support. With hindsight, I suspect the first was a reminder that some people are–I’ll be blunt–out of their minds (and by that I mean they’re so wrapped up in their own issues that interaction with others isn’t really happening–we’re just screens on which to project), while the other event was one of those profoundly generous kindnesses that is so well timed you can’t help but marvel at the workings of the Universe. And that’s what I’m doing right now.

But what about tomorrow? (Yes, technically it’s already tomorrow, but I have yet to go to bed) As I write this, we’re still in the Cancer Moon Void–so maybe this won’t come out the way we expect! The Moon enters Leo at 2:38 AM PDT, making contact with Mars, a quincunx to Ceres, a sextile to Saturn, and a sesquiquadrate to Jupiter. This sets the tone, with the Self-interested inclinations of Leo perking right up to fiery Martian contact; the urge to action is there, but authorities and the social sphere may require modifications before we can push forward–but once the way is clear we make good progress.

Around 9 AM PDT the Moon trines the Sun, and we likely respond with a surge of energy–optimism is the keyword here. By 11 AM the Moon quincunxes Pluto, and suddenly what’s stirring seems a little darker than we anticipated just a couple of hours ago–but see this as a chance to emotionally cleanse, and as a warning to avoid creating any new secrets. Around 11 PM the Moon sextiles Zeus, and we see a bit of emotional muscle flexing and perhaps Will and desires imposed. And not much more stirs until 3 AM PDT of the 26th, when the Moon is apex to a Finger of God with base Jupiter sextile North Node, suggesting that the emotions act as facilitator to expansion, educational, or travel attempts that are in harmony with our overall life direction.  Over the next three hours the Moon is also square Juno and trine Mercury, meaning that we can communicate effortlessly though such free-flow of information might not empower us–so caution is in order.
