Moon in Aries Today

All Aries, all the time! With the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus all new in Aries today, we all feel the shift. The "...And now for something completely different" corner of the emerging Cardinal Cross has just popped into focus.

As the Moon moves through pioneering Aries today, ready to take risks and go for the gold, we ask, what's holding us back? Sometimes we have excellent reasons for staying where we are, sometimes we wait until the time is right, and sometimes it's just fear ... and fear, Aries has no patience with.

The Moon is our link to the past and the ancestors ... where in your history are the fierce warriors of the heart? Which pioneering spirit most calls to you? Who will be your model in the tumult of change? Follow that trailblazer and cross the threshold. With Jupiter and Uranus at your back, obstacles will shrink and may just melt away in the newly-born Aries fire.

Moon Transitioning Today

As the Moon heads into late Pisces this morning, she once again moves toward the late degree planets, beginning with an easy flow of energy with lovely Venus in the Moon's home sign of Cancer at 4:44 am EDT. By 11:25 am, the Moon sextiles Mercury in steady Taurus ... both Pisces and Taurus know that life cannot be rushed, and are ready to wait patiently for the butterfly to emerge in its own time.

The rest of the day, the Moon sails dreamily through late Pisces, touching whatever in your chart is in similar degrees around the wheel. You might find it difficult to focus today; meditation will be easier than detailed analysis!

9:30 pm brings an opposition to Saturn in Virgo. Pisces is a higher octave of Virgo; both share a focus on service, Virgo in a practical Earth-based way, Pisces in an all-embracing, spiritual way. These signs always have something to learn from each other.

Just before 2:00 am, the Moon conjuncts expansive Jupiter in Pisces, before entering the briefest void-of-course minute before popping into fiery Aries. And immediately, Jupiter follows the Moon, entering Aries to begin a new twelve-year cycle. This movement from Pisces to Aries is a jump from the ocean to the fire, and a night with great potential for big dreams. Keep paper and pencil by your bed tonight, to record any messages from the universe.

Moon in Pisces Today

The Moon floats through Pisces, sign of creative visioning, today, with no aspects until she challenges the Sun in quick-thinking Gemini at 6:00 pm EDT. This Sun-Moon Gemini-Pisces square asks for something from both sides: The Gemini Sun wants a dream that can be clearly communicated; the Pisces Moon reminds us that clarity cannot come at the expense of meaning.

Other sky events add to the Piscean energy of the day. The opposition between Neptune (ruler of Pisces) in Aquarius and Mars in Leo comes exact, even as Chiron, newly arrived in Pisces, stations before turning back into Aquarius for one last visit.

How many ways can we experience Piscean energy? Today we are offered healing and mentoring (stationing Chiron), making innovative plans for a beautiful future (Neptune in Aquarius), and passionate, creative expression (Mars in Leo opposing Neptune and Chiron).

This is a time when we may feel again the wounds of the past (Chiron). Rather than losing ourselves to avoid pain (a Neptune shadow), we can choose to act (Mars) in ways that help us realize our creative potential (Leo). Let the Pisces Moon help you find the healing path that's right for you.
