Moon into Sagittarius: Mapping Our Course

Monday morning through Wednesday morning

Early Monday (5:47am EDT), the Moon enters Sagittarius, that expansive, generous, gregarious energy bringing us to the doorstep of the this week's Full Moon. Monday's aspects point to lots of messages, followed by a readiness for action, so dig out your Sagittarian explorer's hat and prepare to listen to the sages you'll meet on this journey.

Over the course of the day, the Moon will square Neptune in Pisces, trine Uranus in Aries, square Chiron in Pisces, form a semisextile with Pluto in Capricorn, and form an inconjunct with Jupiter in Taurus. Yes, that's all the outer planets plus Sagittarius' ruler, Jupiter, weighing in with something for the Moon.

Remember, faster-moving planets act as triggers; if significant transits are happening from any of these outer planets to something in your birth chart, the Moon could heighten your awareness, bring up emotions, or create an opening for intuition related to the longer-term transit.

Monday night, Mercury in Leo sextiles Mars in Gemini, moving the messages (which are still flowing) in the direction of action. A few hours later, the Moon sextiles Saturn, touching the same theme: We've been inspired, now how do we make it real?

Tuesday morning's aspects make sure we're with the program of information-into-action, as the Sagittarian Moon opposes Mars in Gemini. With all the connections being made, it's time to decide which direction we're headed. Then, the Moon trines Mercury in Leo, firing us with enthusiasm. And yet, we're asked to wait a bit, as the Moon-Mercury trine is the last classical aspect in this Moon transit, opening a void-of-course period until the Moon steps into Capricorn Wednesday morning (at 10:13am EDT).

This Moon transit through Sagittarius offers many opportunities for gathering information and choosing a path. We begin with connections to the powerful outer planets and end with passionate commitment to our next steps. As we move toward the Full Moon, we look for the light we need to move forward.
