Moon in Sagittarius

Thursday morning through Saturday morning

The Moon moves into Sagittarius Thursday morning on the day of the waning Half Moon. This is a time of challenge, a square between the Pisces Sun and Sagittarian Moon, where we are asked to let go of whatever we no longer need. With all the planets now in Pisces, the Moon will also square Mars and Mercury today.

These Half Moon squares between Sagittarius and Pisces, mutable Fire and mutable Water, can open up new ways of understanding. Pisces connects us with the cosmos, offering transcendent experiences of our links with all that is. Pisces, last sign of the zodiac, also reminds us of the cycles of life, that things end to make space for what comes next. With Chiron, Mars, Mercury, the Sun and Uranus all in Pisces this week, this energy is strong.

And here come the Moon in expansive, enthusiastic, questing Sagittarius, ready to embrace everything and everyone. What Sagittarius seeks is understanding, and so this Moon challenges the Pisces planets to make sense of these huge energy shifts we're feeling. What does this mean for us and our world? Where can we go with this?

The Sagittarian Moon also flows energy in trine with Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius, now moving through fiery Aries. This combination can supersize whatever is happening today, as the Moon and Jupiter join forces to say, let's get on with it! If things need to end, let them end. If things need to change, let them change. Where Pisces might be content to flow, the Moon in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Aries are ready to catch fire.

Friday we realize the consequences of change, with aspects to responsible Saturn and transformative Pluto. The Sun and Mercury reach conjunction, and flow energy in sextile with Pluto, ready to move mountains. Jupiter in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn, cardinal Fire challenging cardinal Earth to move those mountains now. Meanwhile, the Moon sextiles Saturn in Libra, seeking a balance point, recognizing limits.

Saturday morning, the Moon reaches the last degrees of Sagittarius, where she will contact Neptune (a sextile) and Uranus (a square) for a new set of intuitive messages from these outer planets. She enters hard-working, determined Capricorn at 2:32pm EST Saturday.
