Moon into Aquarius: Surging Forward

Wednesday afternoon through Friday night

electric sails

The Moon shifts from Capricorn into Aquarius today at 11:18am EDT, shifting straight from low gear into overdrive. The Moon in Aquarius is electric, energized, and ready to move. This Moon's first contact is a flowing sextile with Uranus in Aries, amping up the energy at the beginning of this transit.

Overnight tonight, the Aquarius Moon squares Jupiter in Taurus, a vigorous debate. Jupiter in Taurus is a Taoist sage deeply connected to Earth, aware of each thoughtful step. The Moon in Aquarius, fueled by her contact with Uranus, is a Zen revolutionary transfixed by lightning awareness, leaping forward. How do we maintain our balance?

Thursday is energized by a series of aspects supporting manifestation and action on many planes. In the early morning, the Moon opposes Mars in Leo, seeking a balance between personal creative expression and the needs of the community. This connection thinks globally and acts locally.

Late morning, the Sun and Moon reach their waxing trine, a time when commitment and action flow harmoniously together. In late afternoon, Mercury and Saturn meet in Libra, thought and communication joining with manifestation. Thursday night, the Aquarius Moon trines Mercury and Saturn, adding the flash of intuitive insights to the Mercury–Saturn energies.

Friday's Aquarian energies flow in relational and creative ways. In the afternoon, the Moon forms a flowing trine with Venus in Libra, an intuitive, harmonious connection. A few minutes later, the Moon joins Neptune, her last classical aspect in Aquarius. Not long afterwards, Venus and Neptune reach their exact trine.

So, as the Moon enters her void of course time, she connects with Neptune and Venus, supporting creative dreaming and visioning on a grand scale. Friday evening, the Moon swims into Pisces, Neptune's ocean, for a night of dreaming supported by the connection with creative Venus.

These days of the Aquarius Moon, cosmic winds fill our sails as we pick up speed, heading toward next week's Full Moon in Aries.
