The Moon sailed into visionary Aquarius in the early hours of this morning, beginning to show herself in the night sky again as she fills her sails with the energies flowing from the Sagittarian New Moon and eclipse. On this trip through Aquarius, the Moon will add Aquarian thinking-outside-the-box to the forces moving us toward transformation, while challenging the slower archetypes to get moving.

This morning, the Moon connected with Uranus the revolutionary trickster and Chiron the healing sage. Each of these outer-planet powerhouses are essential to these transformative times. We see all around us many things calling out for change, as we realize we ourselves are our greatest project.

The Aquarius Moon brings our attention to Venus and Pluto today, touching each with a jolt of semisextile lightning. These Moon aspects happen a few hours apart, alerting us to the fact that Venus and Pluto are quite close together now in Capricorn. In fact, Venus is now within orb of her conjunction with Pluto on Thursday––which is astrology jargon for saying it's close enough to pay attention.

Venus is the planet of relating, including in her purview our relationships with other people, our sense of esthetics (how we relate to form, color, sound, touch), and our sense of balance and fairness. Venus is also one of the money planets (the relationship of exchange) and a bringer of good fortune.

As she transits across relentless Pluto, we may feel transformational shifts in any Venus-influenced areas, and we may feel our larger alchemical work touched with a bit of grace and beauty.

Tuesday afternoon, the Moon and Sun reach their waxing sextile, a time when we may see the first glimmers of New Moon wishes and intentions emerging into the light. This evening, the Moon and Mars meet in an uncomfortable inconjunct: Mars in Virgo is slow and steady, and this Aquarius Moon wants to see big movements, big changes. Each has something to learn from the other if they listen.

Early Wednesday, the Moon flows in sextile with the North Node and trine with the South Node, offering a vision of where our life path is going. Wednesday morning, the Moon sextiles Mercury, reminding us that while our views of the world are changing (Mercury in Sagittarius), it's a good idea to reflect, reconsider, and rethink (Mercury retrograde).

Early Thursday, the Moon trines Saturn. If you're awake, this is a marvelous energy for getting practical work done on big projects. If you're asleep, look for dreams that point to the way to next steps. Make sure you write them down!

Thursday morning, the Moon joins Neptune, bringing the potential for big morning dreams filled with depth and vision. This is the Moon's last aspect in Aquarius, opening a void of course period that lasts just over three hours. Interestingly, the Venus–Pluto conjunction comes exact during this void time, a sign, perhaps, to allow these two archetypes to carry on their creative alchemy without our active interference.

Late Thursday morning, the Moon swims into oceanic Pisces, connecting with Uranus, Chiron and Jupiter in an elegant cosmic dance. While she's in Aquarius, we sail boldly with this Moon through brilliant skies.
