Waxing Moon in Taurus, Moving into Gemini

Today's note covers the Moon's transit from Taurus into Gemini, today and tomorrow.

The Moon continues her calm, steady progress through Taurus, sign of the patient gardener, through most of today ... which is a good thing, because connections with other planets are signaling our movement toward this awesome Full Moon!

open connection, Go

The Sun reaches the late degrees of Sagittarius today, where he will sextile Neptune and Chiron, and square Jupiter and Uranus.

These aspects open channels for information and energy in areas of intuitive and psychic messages (Neptune and Uranus), healing (Chiron), philosophy and metaphysics (Jupiter), teaching and mentoring (Jupiter and Chiron) and embracing and embodying who we uniquely are (Chiron and Uranus).

The Taurus Moon echoes these connections, aligning our emotional selves with the messages pouring into our solar selves. Today Moon sextiles Jupiter and Uranus while squaring Neptune and Chiron ... Sun and Moon, the two luminaries, in conversation with these powerful outer planets.

The Sun and Moon are inconjunct each other, forming the 150 degree angle-of-adjustment, which reflects the conscious effort needed to balance and integrate all the energy we'll receive today.

Meanwhile, Mercury retrogrades back into Sagittarius, more flexible than Capricorn but more energetic and less predictable ... things may move more easily now, but who knows where or how? Mercury is the cosmic messenger, asking us to slow down and pay attention.

The Moon's final aspect in Taurus is her sextile to Uranus at 4:36pm EST, initiating a time-between-times of six hours. She'll connect with Gemini, Mercury's sign, at 10:37pm, opening more channels.

Tomorrow morning, the Sun and Mercury reach their conjunction in Sagittarius ... cosmic messenger and bright star aligned in the sign of the philosopher king. And did I mention the Moon's in Gemini?

Making connections is a key concepts for the coming Full Moon, and the energy today and tomorrow opens up many ways for us to connect, receiving guidance and messages. As one way, I offer a guided journey of preparation for the gateway to come. This is an mp3 that includes drumming, so listen in a relaxed and comfortable state, when you can journey with the drum.
