Moon in Aquarius Today

The Moon has entered the sign of Aquarius, innovative, eccentric, surprising, and all about being who we really are. Very early in degrees right now, she is leaving the outer planets behind to break new ground. Late tonight (12:15 am EDT) she will trine the Sun in Gemini, two Air planets getting together to compare notes and share information.

Today, the Aquarian Moon will touch any planets or points you have in early degrees, sending easy flows of energy to some and challenges to others, depending on the signs involved. The touch of Aquarius is often paradoxical: co-ruled by Saturn and Uranus, Aquarius can be very determined (Saturn) in its commitment to revolution (Uranus), or rebellious (Uranus) in the face of limitations (Saturn). To experience the best of Aquarius, Saturn's focus and hard work and Uranus' creative flair and innovative approach must be honored.

Without Saturn, Uranus can become a rebel without a cause, reacting against without offering constructive solutions. Without Uranus, Saturn can get stuck, circling through the same solutions to the same problems, with the same results.

For the last months, Saturn and Uranus have been opposing each other in the sky, getting closer and backing off. We can experience this as polarizing, a face-off between the old and the new in which neither side will move. Or, we can learn what each planet has to offer and find creative and effective ways to combine their talents while avoiding their pitfalls.

Now that's thinking outside the box!
