Waxing Moon in Pisces, Moving into Aries

The Moon makes a key transition today, from Pisces, sign of endings, into Aries, sign of beginnings. Her final aspects in Pisces, classically speaking, were her conjunctions with expansive Jupiter and revolutionary Uranus just after 6:00am EST, which might have brought big dreams, especially since this also coincided with semi-sextiles with visionary Neptune and healing Chiron.

Or perhaps you simply woke early, as I did, with a head churning with ideas and emotions. Whatever the Moon's contact with the powerful outer planets offered you, she is now in her time-between-times until she surges into fiery Aries at 10:24am.

A raft of intuitive messages is carried now by Mercury, moving into the last degrees of Sagittarius, and so preparing to sextile Neptune (3:03pm today), square Uranus (7:13pm today), square Jupiter (3:37am Tuesday) and sextile Chiron (5:08am Tuesday).

Over the next 24 hours, the planet of human mind and communication will be in contact with both of the planets bringing intuitive guidance, as well as the planets of healing and mentorship, and philosophy and journeys. The pioneering, courageous Aries Moon can help facilitate deep journeys with Sagittarian Mercury.

The theme of transformative journeys is emphasized by the Moon's aspects as she enters Aries. She begins by squaring the Nodes of the Moon, challenging us to look at where we are on our life path. Then she trines Venus, newly arrived in Sagittarius, inviting us into a creative journey of exploration. Tonight, she squares Pluto the great transformer, the Aries flame ready to take on a Plutonian task.

Today will be a powerful day for all kinds of intuitive and meditative journeys. This afternoon, evening, and overnight, the sky is filled with energies igniting our desire to explore new territory, hear new messages, and take on new tasks as the intentions we set for this lunar cycle and the coming year continue to unfold.
