Moon into Libra: Walk in Beauty

Thursday afternoon through Saturday evening

The Moon steps into the Beauty Way of Libra this afternoon (6:31pm EDT). Her first aspect is a trine with Venus, newly in Gemini. The connection opens a flow of creative inspiration that may touch our relationships, our finances, our artistic endeavors, and our feelings––a vibrant opening to this Moon transit.

Overnight, the Libran Moon opposes Uranus in Aries, opening a focused and intense conversation on the balance between self and other, peaceful calm and driving action, refined loveliness and raw desire.

This could be an interesting night for dreaming, especially as Venus in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces. Messages about relationships, finances, and creative expression may be offered.

Early Friday morning, the Moon squares powerful Pluto, cardinal Air (Libra) challenging cardinal Earth (Capricorn). Perhaps the Moon can bring a touch of balance, peace, or diplomacy to whatever difficult challenges Pluto has in store.

Late morning brings a connection with Saturn and Mercury, as the Moon joins Saturn in Libra and trines Mercury in Gemini. This link opens communication channels around where we have work to do, or where we're feeling blocked, or where our true responsibilities lie, all Saturnian issues.

Overnight Friday, the Moon reaches her last aspect in Libra, a flowing trine with the Sun that offers a sense of harmony and confirmation, now that we've passed the challenge of the Half Moon square. This is the last of the Moon's classical aspects in Libra, opening her void-of-course time. Late Saturday morning, though, the Moon will trine the South Node as she sextiles the North Node, a greeting as well as foreshadowing of the Full Moon eclipse on the way.

Most of Saturday will find the Moon void of course, a time for business as usual, rather than beginning new ventures. The Moon steps into Scorpio's shadowy realm at 8:33pm EDT. While the Moon in in Libra, walk in beauty.
