Waxing Moon in Pisces Moves into Aries

A day of dramatic transitions! The Pisces Moon's last aspect early this morning was a conjunction with Uranus the Trickster. She entered her time-between-times then, at 6:25am, which I suppose explains why I was handing out strawberry-colored wafer cookies in my dream this morning

The Moon bursts into fiery Aries at 11:23am EDT, so we have a few more hours for reflecting with gentle Pisces, while Uranus pops in with unique messages of his own. If you get an intuitive flash, make a note! A void-of-course Moon is not the time to act on it, but this particular void time is awash with intuitive energy.

Aries is the warrior, the pioneer, the initiator. The Aries Moon wants to step in new territory and just do it. Welcome the new wind, igniting the flame of desire, fueling our drive to reach for the stars. Aries propels us forward, whether we're ready or not.

The Aries Moon steps into transformative territory today, so pull on the big boots. Mercury enters Scorpio at 5:19pm, as thought and communication reach new depths of insight, facing the Shadow. The Moon squares Pluto at 5:39pm, starkly focusing attention on where we're challenged to transform.

The Sun is inconjunct Uranus at 8:17pm, requiring adjustment between balanced Libran thought and cosmic revolutionary change. At 9:42, Mars in Scorpio trines Jupiter in Pisces, connecting our deepest and most transformative desires with the planet of expansion, philosophy and grace.

We are heading now towards Friday's Full Moon in Aries, the second Aries Full Moon this year, and one more in this year's parade of powerful Moons. At the Full Moon, we step out on stage ready to share what we've grown during this lunar cycle.

Today we shift from a time of reflection and preparation to the possibly shocking realization that this ship is about to launch. We feel the momentum building. Caught up in swirling Aries impulses, we're already moving. So take that time this morning, while the Moon rests between signs, to check in. Are you ready for this ride? Make sure you've got what you need. And don't forget the cookies!
