Waning Moon in Scorpio Moving into Sagittarius

The Moon makes her final aspects in Scorpio this morning. She's already moving through her squares to Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius, and he trine with Uranus in Pisces, connecting the deep psyche with the outer messengers of healing, visions, and revolutionary change.

As I write this at 8am EST, the Moon is technically already in her void-of-course time, resting and reflecting. And yet she's moving into one final aspect that speaks to the energetic quality of the New Moon: She is semi-sextile Mars in Sagittarius, creating an energetic, edgy connection with the adventurer already on the Sagittarian quest.

The Moon embarks on her own Sagittarian journey at 12:59pm EST, opening the door to wonder-filled exploration. The Mountain Astrologer website offers a video of Kathy Rose discussing the New Moon, emphasizing the optimism and in-the-moment qualities we celebrate in Sagittarius.

At 5pm EST, the Moon connects back to Venus, still in Scorpio, via the energetic semi-sextile. Just before 7:30pm, she connects with semi-sextiles to Mercury, the North Node and Pluto, all in Capricorn. Like a compass of spirit, the Moon knows that both the deeply hidden realms of Scorpio, and the steady effort in the world of Capricorn, are needed for the journey to continue. The Sagittarian Moon balances these two heavy hitters with merriment, exuberance, and joy.

Dana Gerhardt offers her ideas for invoking Sagittarius, including buying helium balloons, visiting a really big library and pulling random books off the shelves for messages from the library angels, or climbing to a high place for a new perspective.

Dana's essay includes a link to a wonderful flash mob performance of the Hallelujah Chorus in a mall food court, and what could be more Sagittarian than flash mobs? Dancing in the streets, taking the urge to sing and dance and making it BIG, bringing fun into public spaces ... the Centaur applauds!
