We have a 5:30 PM PDT square of the Aries Moon to Mercury in Cardinal signs. Uncomfortable emotions may push us to tell way too much about what we care about/ for (Merc in Cancer). Sharing our feelings isn’t a bad thing, but it does give far too much information to those who either don’t want it or who might be tempted to misuse it. The key is to share only with those who care for us–that way our loving concern and outright adoration can’t be used against us. Just before 7 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Venus, who is still retro. If we’ve shared too much, this could be the time when we realize we should’ve kept it to ourselves–everyone else may be shown the emotional drawbacks of already extant relationships or financial situations.

3 AM PDT the Aries Moon conjuncts Vesta, and nestles roughly at the midpoint of Jupiter/ Pallas. The emotions become sacred, and we may want to let everyone know, and that our feelings are uncommonly wise, too. Strangely, this spurs the kind of adolescent philosophizing that is at core supremely naive in its belief that the speaker has found the source of all wisdom and sanctity, and it is within   Used maturely, we can apply our feeling to a worthy social cause, with kind aid offered, consisting of a reverence that amounts to prayer.

12:30-ish PM PST the Aries Moon squares Pluto and trines the North Node, giving us the green light for emotional housecleaning (or, for housecleaning involving the area the t NN is affecting in your chart), but we run into difficulty: though we know trimming and re-forming is the right thing to do in terms of the direction we’re headed, we still find that something unanticipated, something hidden, dark, a secret, or something external that threatens destruction stands in our way, or demands we conform. You must deal with the issue, but to surrender your power would be a mistake.

6:30 PM PST the Moon conjuncts Ceres, making for an exceptionally Willful period. We want our way, and see ourselves as the authority. We may view ourselves as ‘naturally’ in charge, but a review of whether that’s appropriate for the venue in which we find ourselves will keep us out of trouble

Void begins at 5:23 PM PST; the Moon enters Aries at 6:47 PM PST.

The Aries Moon immediately semi-sextiles Neptune; this may make it feel as if the Pisces Moon never ended! This may create a hangover effect–we’re walking around with Neptunian grogginess in an Arian atmosphere–not easy.

Sun conjuncts Chiron, uniting these principles in a blinding haze of woundedness or healing skills. Looking into this light will be like looking into yourself; what you see will reflect your basic attitude, and can point out life strengths and weaknesses. If you find yourself looking into a morass of hurt, you are seeing yourself as a victim; I guarantee this is having a negative effect on your circumstances, no matter what you’re telling yourself. If you see skills or opportunities for healing, congratulations, you are using your energy very close to the best way possible for you at this time, and you can be sure you are demonstrating a high level of constructivity and maturity.
