Moon in Sagittarius Moving into Capricorn

For much of today, the Moon enjoys exploring Sagittarius, ready to welcome anyone she meets along the way, ready for lively conversations about philosophy and culture, ready to cook up (or order in) a big meal ... think of long tables under pergolas hung with summer vines, good company talking and laughing over wonderful food and flowing wine.

Important things are happening in the world, and the Sag Moon is well aware of them. She's not sticking her head in the sand, but why give way to immobilizing fear when the sky is bright and the abundance of the Earth surrounds us? Better to open our arms and embrace life!

By this evening, the Moon reaches the late degrees, where the big planets are hanging out. A challenge (square) to Saturn at 7:20pm EDT offers nose-to-the-grindstone Saturn a glass of sangria and an invitation to enjoy the sunset. Shortly thereafter (7:34pm), the Moon flows energy (trine) with Neptune-Chiron conjunction, opening the door to dreams, then goes void of course for an evening reverie.

At 10:22pm EDT, the Moon enters focused, determined Capricorn, clocking in for the night shift. Heading toward Saturday's Full Moon Eclipse, there's work to be done.

Now the Moon challenges the early degree planets: Squaring Uranus (exact at 11:26pm) and Jupiter (exact at 2:37am), opposing Mercury (exact at 1:42am), and joining Pluto (exact at 6:13am). A sextile to Chiron and Neptune keeps energy flowing for healing visions in the midst of these calls for change.

The Capricorn Moon buckles down and gets working, moving mountains if need be. This is the energy we need to prepare for the Full Moon Eclipse, another turning point in this summer's tumultuous ride. Here are some blog posts and articles to help:

April Elliott Kent starts us off on the right footing with The Upside of Eclipses.

Linda Hill offers a detailed and insightful look at the complex array of Sabian symbols associated with this Full Moon.

Moon Circles offers two articles, one by April Elliott Kent and one by Julia Bondi, on this Full Moon.

And although this last was written for the Scorpio Moon, Auntie Moon's exploration of Pluto is right on, and great groundwork for the intensity of the Full Moon's Moon-Pluto conjunction.

We each stand at a threshold, the path opening before us. May we be ready!
