Waning Moon in Sagittarius

party icon

Thursday night through Sunday morning

Overnight, we emerged from Scorpio's dark basement into Sagittarius' well lit, convivial kitchen ... a place where all are welcome, something rich and fragrant is always cooking, and the talk flows easily. Welcome!

Sagittarian warmth is heightened today by a flowing trine between the Moon and Jupiter, Sag's ruler now shining in fiery Aries. With energetic sextiles between the Moon and Sun, and later, the Moon and Mars and Ceres, all in innovative Aquarius, we'll feel we can do anything and have fun with it.

Tomorrow (Saturday), the Moon forms a flowing sextile with Saturn, newly retrograde, and later reaches conjunction with Venus in late Sagittarius. We feel ready to get things done, putting our responsibilities in a wider context and ready to fine the good in (and savoring the delights of) the work we have before us. Venus and the Moon together align relationships and creativity with emotions.

Very early Sunday morning, the Sagittarius Moon contacts the outer planets Neptune and Uranus, and the asteroids Chiron and Juno. She'll form a T-square with Uranus and Juno, who are opposing each other in late Pisces (Uranus) and Virgo (Juno). At the same time, she'll be creating flowing sextiles with Neptune and Chiron.

With Neptune and Uranus in similar degrees of adjacent signs, an "easy" aspect with one planet means a "challenging" aspect with the other. Yet Neptune and Uranus are in mutual reception ... each in the sign ruled by the other. So as the Moon contacts one, the other is there, each sending intuitive messages that flow (Neptune) and flash (Uranus).

In this waning part of the lunar cycle, we're integrating what we've learned and releasing what no longer serves us. This transit through Sagittarius helps us make sense of what it all means ... Sagittarius is a philosopher and mentor who can help sort out the complexities of these challenging times. This Moon transit brings energy, focus and balance, and closes with intuitive messages from the cosmos.

At 9:04 am EST Sunday, the Moon steps into determined and responsible Capricorn, ready to make something practical and real.
