The Moon moves gracefully into Libra this evening, and begins her transit through this Venus-ruled sign of creative grace with calls on her diplomatic skills. The Moon forms an inconjunct angle-of-adjustment with Chiron the mentor, while opposing revolutionary Uranus. Confrontation is not a Libra Moon's first choice, so these contacts will have an air of careful conversation. The Moon reminds powerful forces that all sides need to be considered, and acting out often creates as many problems as it solves. She seeks a middle way.

Monday, the Libra Moon finds her groove. The day opens with an inconjunct with Jupiter. Since the Moon and Jupiter are both in Venusian signs, and each is accomodating and generous, the adjustment here is one in which we're reminded to walk our talk. Simply espousing beautiful ideas is not enough.

The Moon trines Pluto the alchemist, willing to embrace deep change. Over the course of Monday, something may shift for us; something we've been working on might finally slip into place. In the evening, the Moon sextiles the North Node, signalling we're taking steps on our life path.

Tuesday looks to be an upbeat, creative, productive day when everything flows easily. Sagittarian Venus and Libran Saturn form an enlivening sextile––the voice of the muse offering creative inspiration. A sextile between the Moon and Sagittarian Mercury enhances the Venus–Saturn connection, aligning emotions and thoughts with grace and optimism.

Midday, the Sun enters Sagittarius, brilliant shafts of warming sunlight after a month in shadowy Scorpio. Not long after, the Moon conjuncts Saturn and we're ready to act with beauty and harmony. The afternoon continues with the Moon sextiling Venus and trining Neptune––more energy swirling around creative visioning. If you can allow any time at all on Tuesday for creative work, honor the muse and express yourself!

The trine with Neptune opens a three-hour void of course, before the Moon enters intense Scorpio. Now we'll take the bright visions of the Libra Moon bathed in lots of Sagittarian glow, and add depth and shadow. But first, celebrate, explore, open doors and windows, and revel in beauty.

  1. "The Moon reminds powerful forces that all sides need to be considered, and acting out often creates as many problems as it solves. She seeks a middle way." A very helpful reminder. And I'm adding it to my understandings of The Moon card in the Tarot.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
