Moon makes quite the display of activations today from her expansive perspectives in Sagittarius. Our day is bound to be one of tense observations and intangible uncertainties. The wide berth we may have spent many years giving to our beliefs and understandings is likely narrowing and closing in on us. What exactly is it we believe in? Do we have an explanation for the mysteries and oddities in our lives? Have we ever come to any conclusions about the synchronicities we have experienced?

Venus enters a 90° mutual reception with Uranus today, meaning they are in each other’s signs in a square aspect. This is an amplification of our need to advance and improve the clarity of consciousness within our relationships. While we might be involved in healthy and progressive relationships, there is always room to make things more clear, make ourselves and each other more aware, and improve the likelihood of a more liberating and enlightening experience within the relationship. 

This will not come easy, but with an open heart and mind, some accumulated serenity and patience, and a plethora of love and compassion we can make this Sunday a bountiful day of growth and opportunity. We need to pay attention to even the smallest things that cross our path today, because within even the smallest things we find flecks of golden wisdom to add to our medicine bags. It would be wonderful to honor this day of tremendous celestial geometry by outwardly displaying our gratitude for how far we have come and how committed we are to what has yet to unfold.

Today’s Moon-Neptune square and Mercury-Uranus sextile exude conflicting influences upon our capacity to engage productively. The Moon-Neptune square will be highlighting any extreme, unfounded beliefs we have developed over time, perhaps as a challenge from someone we trust and care about. These days, it is not difficult to stumble upon claims by strangers online about any myriad theories, sometimes sucking us into concepts and beliefs that cloud our judgment. We must learn how to keenly discern our beliefs and perspectives so as not to lose ourselves in the fog of disillusionment. 

Despite the energizing sextile between our rebel Mercury-Uranus duo, the signs they are in soften their otherwise exuberant flair. There is a tendency for more high-minded and thought-provoking twists and turns today, as opposed to substantial action or execution. Taking stock of our resources and sustainability while brainstorming how to improve both is called for. As Moon shifts into Capricorn, we are bringing stability, truth, and right action into our local arena.

Today can be a day of reckoning that brings our dignity and integrity into stark focus, thus challenging any of our delusional beliefs. We can stop to wonder what we will think of our current selves in five or ten years. Are we holding honesty, truth, and virtue close to our hearts so as not to stray from them? Do we understand how to distinguish between truth and lies?

Once we feel confident in our beliefs, we can begin to implement our truth by pursuing our goals and dreams with righteousness. Not the kind of righteousness that degrades others, but the moral decency we should all learn to cultivate and honor so as to instill goodness and truth in others as a mentor and authority in our field. This is a powerful day to consider all our values, beliefs, and deeds, and how we have refined them over the years. Have we grown to be more transparent and truthful? Have we experienced the feeling of liberation and inner peace such growth imbues upon us?

Working closely with our inner truth will bring forth fields of fragrant wildflowers upon which all the birds of our feathers can alight and all the bees and butterflies can delight. The work is deep, important, and invaluable to establishing a happier self in the future.

The theme of delusion and truth carries on through today. We should always be mindful of our decisions, even the subtle unspoken decisions we make in the split seconds of silence. Harnessing the consequences of those decisions with our fortified will helps bring forth accomplishments and change. The lines between delusion and truth, however, can be fragile and faint, thus confusing even the most astute individuals. We can take heart that Moon’s tenure through Capricorn is helping to allay any misguided forays into the frays of illusion. Truth is seeping its way out of all our pores, and we should relish this priceless experience. 

Beyond the veil of this week’s ongoing fog bank, there is an opportunity to make immense progress toward our visions of the future today. The Mars-Chiron sextile is charged with a zest we have perhaps not felt in quite some time about our skillsets and life goals. What is it we are feeling prepared to achieve finally? Do we feel as though it is at our fingertips? Or perhaps we are feeling ready to embark upon that sacred journey of our soul’s purpose. As Moon ingresses Aquarius and joins Pluto, the plot shifts to dovetail with empowerment. There are lessons for our spirit to be found in the pain and suffering of our past. What wisdom lies quietly waiting for us to discover it?

What are we stubbornly attached to? How are we making progress if we are not shifting our focus onto that which makes us better people or more aligned with what we love? Are we holding on to a job that does not bring us the enjoyment it once did? Can we reassess our desires and resources to try and make our future more palatable, productive, and exciting? The challenges brought forth from emotional detachment can surface as an inability to face the music of our innermost passions. Once we find our way into those recesses of our psyches and emotions, we can see, as if for the first time, the golden light of dawn shining upon what we hold most dear to our hearts.

Whatever stirred deep within us back on February 22nd is bound to be brought back into the light today. That Venus-Mars conjunction in Aquarius is being reignited by today’s passage of Moon across both planets. How did we experience this union of polarities? Did it spark something exciting we want to embark upon? Did it rustle the leaves in the branches of our tree of life? The sparks can fly far today, so we need to be careful nothing catches on fire we do not want ignited. On the other hand, if we want to intentionally strike a match to start anew, we should be patient for Sunday’s New Moon to do so.

All we hope to accomplish in our lives will likely not be accomplished, but much of it can be. When we make time to sit with these goals, we can prioritize what we want to set out to manifest in the order in which our hearts will be satisfied and elated. While so much can excite us today, and we should not disregard any of that excitement, our tendency to become disillusioned or misled is also strong. It is therefore an ideal day to daydream, take notes, and brainstorm scenarios and outcomes, as outlandish as they may be, so that we can revisit those notes on Sunday during the New Moon in Pisces. That is when we can lay down our intentions with our deep love and respect for our heart’s desires.

*Mercury ingresses Aries*

As Moon begins its journey across the current Piscean stellium, first nearly occulting Saturn, we are in the thick of the fog that we likely felt succumbed to earlier in the week. There can be much confusion around how we are going to get whatever intentions we are setting for tomorrow’s New Moon off the ground. The lesson here is to ask our spirit to help guide us through the process of unfoldment. That subtle sacred body of ours is the tuning fork of our life, and it knows just want we need, when we need it, and how we need it. 

The seemingly slow voyage toward our dreams that has been underway indefinitely is once more undergoing a revitalization of the life force that stirs through it all. Mercury’s ingress into Aries heralds a separation from the womb of gestation. This is the genesis of a new cycle of applying our knowledge and wisdom to the whims of our desires in order to create a future we can love and cherish deep within our hearts. The initiatory transition of our inner messenger is thrust into the exciting world of possibilities we have been waiting for. Although the Sun still lags behind in Pisces, we should never underestimate the influence of Mercury’s fearless gall to take us wherever it fancies. 

Remaining mindful of the pitfalls of thoughtless action would behoove us. Though there is still enough patience and wombing going on elsewhere in space, speedy Mercury in impatient Aries can easily take off without remembering its toothbrush and underwear. So, we must allow the slow ticking of patience to humble us at least until tomorrow’s New Moon has occurred. Our engines are idling and revving, our route is mapped, and the finish line seems defined, but we must listen for any misfires, expect detours, and not be surprised when the finish line ends up someplace completely different.
