As the Moon moves through each sign of the zodiac, changing every two and a half days (more or less), she pulses naturally between yin and yang through the four elements, shifting our attention around the wheel. After the focused, steady work of Capricorn, we're invited to lift our eyes to far horizons. It's time to rise above the clouds and get the Aquarian big picture.
This evening, as the shift into Aquarius takes place, the Moon's first touch is to Neptune in Pisces, bringing Aquarian flashes of insight together with Piscean intuitive flows. The Moon is the intuition of the body, what our gut tells us, and tonight she's connected with the cosmos. A good evening for intuitive arts of all kinds.
Added to that, Mars turns direct tonight. He'll be in his retrograde shadow for a few more weeks, so action in the world might still feel slower than normal. Yet now the energy will start to flow outward again. This time of reflection has been valuable, and now Mars is shaking himself off and getting ready to move.

| making plans |
Saturday is full of lunar aspects as the Aquarian Moon sparks with the Fire and Air planets, and makes edgier connections with Earth and Water.
The most awkward aspect is the inconjunct with Mars, a reminder that it's not yet time to move ahead with new projects.
Semisextiles with Chiron and Pluto keep us connected with the slow but inexorable changes happening around and within us.
Meanwhile, the Moon feels Uranus' revolutionary charge, flows easily with the North Node pointing to the future, and networks madly with Venus in Gemini.
All this happens in the morning, followed by an awkward inconjunct between Venus and Pluto: Lots of energy flowing in all directions, and still Pluto can stop us in our tracks. Keep track of messages as they arrive, enjoy connecting and planning and thinking wonderful thoughts––and don't forget the past while planning for the future. History has long arms.
Sunday opens with a challenge between the Aquarian Moon and Jupiter in Taurus. Both are optimistic, but move at very different speeds. Taurean Jupiter is ready to let life unfold as it will; the Moon in Aquarius wants change yesterday.
This focus on the pace of change is emphasized as the Sun opposes Saturn, the Sun in fiery, impetuous Aries and Saturn in calm and balanced Libra. The Aquarian Moon highlights these two with a trine and a sextile, suggesting the balance will be found by stepping back and taking the long view. These are perennial questions after all, not solved in a day.
The sextile with the Sun is the Moon's last classical aspect in Aquarius, opening a void of course time. Sunday night could bring strong dreaming, as the Moon connects with Mercury in Pisces, enters Pisces, then meets Neptune in Pisces. Keep paper and pen handy.
While the Moon's in Aquarius, we get the overview, look to the future, and plan. This is a waning Moon, a time of letting go. When you see where your future is pointing, you know which baggage is no longer needed. Let it go.
