The Moon enters open-hearted Sagittarius today, pointing us gently but inexorably toward change. With the Moon in this Fire sign of generosity and good luck, and Venus in bright and cheery Gemini, we're invited, coaxed, and maybe tricked into shifting our perspective. "Come on, guys," Moon and Venus call, "it's be fun!"

Venus flows with Uranus today in an energetic sextile, ready to jump on the revolutionary rocket for a ride. The Moon trines Uranus this evening, another easy flow of energy. Roller coasters are fun, right?

Meanwhile, the Moon touches the four corners of the Grand Cross in the mutable signs. These are flexible energies that unlike, for example, the fixed signs, are ready to adjust and accommodate. The Sagittarian Moon explores each point, ready to discuss and debate with an open mind.

Square to Neptune: Where can we be more clear about our dreams and visions? Where have our beliefs become too separate from our experience?

moving the energy ...

Square to Mars: Where are we focusing on the trees and missing the forest? How can focused attention keep us on our path?

Opposition to Venus: Where are we so entranced with new opportunities we're missing the deeper meaning? Where are we so sure we're right, we can't hear other voices?

Just before midnight, the Moon joins the North Node and we have a chance to check in with ourselves. What have we learned today?

Tuesday, the Moon completes her tour of the Grand Cross with a square to Chiron: Where are we stuck in feeling wounded, when a generous spirit would move us out of that? Or, where are we letting pride stand in the way of healing?

This is the day Pluto turns direct, which while not quite as noticeable with the outer planets who spend about half of each year retrograde, still frees up energy to flow forward. And there's the Moon pushing Pluto just a wee bit, with a semisextile.

Over the course of the afternoon, the Moon feels impatient with Jupiter's slow pace in Taurus, feeling far more comfortable with the Aries Sun. Energy is flowing, it's time for growth and expansion!

Wednesday, the Moon checks in with Mercury in Pisces, another chance to align philosophies, goals, and dreams. An easy sextile with Saturn allows for some of that Sagittarian energy to flow into form––but since this opens the Moon's void of course time, it's best to wait until she steps into Saturn's home sign of Capricorn. If bright ideas arrive Wednesday morning, don't act on them until Wednesday afternoon.

While the Moon's in Sagittarius, we allow ourselves to feel expansive, abundant, and optimistic, appreciating life's gifts. From that positive place, it's easy to make whatever adjustments present themselves on the next steps in our journey.
