The Moon swims into Piscean waters this evening, a time when we enter into the full, felt experience of what our transformations mean for us. Tomorrow, the alchemy of our times will be highlighted as the Sun shines its light on Pluto's shifting of our deepest foundations. The Pisces Moon allows us to feel what this means, as we also feel the depth and breadth of the support that surrounds us.

Today's transits include a flowing sextile with Jupiter, now moving direct in nurturing Taurus. An edgy semisextile with Uranus reminds us that change is in air. A conjunction with Chiron allows us to connect fully with where we've been wounded in the past, and flow toward integration and healing.

Thursday opens with the exact Sun–Pluto conjunction, an aspect of great power and intensity. In Capricorn, we won't see flash or flamboyance, just power directed toward its goal.

It's said Capricorn is not overly concerned with means, once the ends are in sight, and we all know the saying about power tending to corrupt. Are we in trouble here?

See the Pisces Moon, sextiling this powerhouse pairing. The presence of this most sensitive of emotional antennae suggests we can explore how we feel about power, how we experience power, how we define it, and how we use it.

Sun–Pluto can certainly embody power-over: absolute obedience to overwhelming authority. And yet, power-over is a dead end when compared to power-with. The Pisces Moon reminds us we are relational beings, connected to all that is. We co-create. We are co-created. Power works best when shared, when it flows.

Later Thursday, the Moon squares the Nodes, seen in evolutionary astrology as a "missed step" on the karmic path. Have we missed seeing how connected we are? Can we take the intense, focused power of Sun–Pluto and consciously channel it into the web of all things?

These are deep matters to contemplate, and the aspects moving forward show this. On Friday morning, the Pisces Moon squares Mercury, opposes Mars, then goes void of course. Where does challenge get us? Not too far, when compared with cooperation.

In the early hours of Saturday, the Moon forms edgy aspects with Saturn and Neptune inside the void time, before surging into Aries, ready to blaze into life. This time with the Pisces Moon is an opportunity to contemplate our relationship with power before a new, fiery cycle ignites.
