5 PM Pacific the Sagittarius Moon squares the Sun/ Earth axis, putting us at emotional odds with our current identity and/ or direction. This is a periodic check-up that may or may not reveal true discrepancies in our stated v. actual life direction. Response is entirely up to us; smart money is on those who take these Lunar squares to the axis as early warning signs that can help prevent larger upsets.

11:30 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Saturn. We get an excellent emotional read on what we can rely on, on what’s solid and constructive (and by contrast, what’s not). A good influence under which to sort and eliminate less constructive influences.

9 AM PDT the Sagittarius Moon conjuncts Juno, squares Chiron, and trines Mercury. Oh, we are ready to tell it like it is–the question is, are we ‘right’, and is our audience ready to hear it? If we are accessing our Chirotic-flavored skills in the telling then yes, we are right, and we are acting from a place of true empowerment (which means we will do no harm); but if our talk springs from hurt, or is wrapped in the authority conveyed by our status or role, then no, we should keep it to ourselves–and in either case, the audience is on its own, though it would be good to consider whether those hearing the message will be in any way hurt by it–in which case they are not ready, and we should not take on the role of messenger.

5 PM PDT the Moon squares Pallas, putting us emotionally in conflict with something we know to be smart. What’s our resistance based on? Either believing we know better, or fear of social ridicule. Choose neither of those; do the smart thing, and live with the discomfort.

7 AM PST the Sagittarian Moon quincunxes Sedna, making for an unusual situation: we may find ourselves dodging emotional awareness, though we won’t know what ‘knowledge’ we’re trying to avoid! Kind of an instinctive attempt to protect ourselves from some form of knowing, that really can’t be explained.

By 7 PM PST the Moon sextiles Saturn, which is lingering in the 29th degree of Libra. Boundaries and ‘rules’ in partnership are under stress and the source of emotional volatility at this time. Appreciation of those elements of security we enjoy via our mates, partners, and connections is a good antidote. Void begins at 8:03 PM PST. Moon enters Capricorn at 9:03 PM PST.

Void begins at 9:05 AM PST; Moon enters Sagittarius at 4:56 PM Pacific time. Right away the Moon squares the Neptune/ Pallas conjunction. A Sag Moon makes us want to reach out emotionally, to extend a hand, but we may do so under some form of illusion about who needs our practical help, advice, or guidance, or we may persuade ourselves there’s knowledge held by some particular person or venue that we must acquire–and so may push someone to give us something they don’t really have! The best advice I can give at this point is to be aware that we are laboring under a double whammy of illusion, in both what we think we need and what we think we own to share. A measured approach, and a reticent attitude, will serve us well.

2:30 AM PST the Sagittarius Moon squares Mars, and we are prompted to act–or maybe I should say, act out. No. no.

1 PM Pacific time we see the Moon hit the midpoint of the Neptune/ Saturn trine (and she just misses contact with the Sun as he enters Aquarius). This brings an emotional perspective to all that has been brought from the imagination and creative effort into the physical/ material realm; we know with certainty how we feel about our creations, and we can intuit the ‘next step’ or the next project.
