Moon in Aries: Action and Surrender

The Moon enters Aries on Wednesday at 9:10am PDT/12:10pm EDT/4:10pm GMT and wants to do something. Put your energy into something or someone you love as the magnified powers of Venus in Pisces perfects its conjunction with the infinite possibilities of Neptune. As you stand on the earth with the Sun in grounded Taurus, the mystical Neptunian energy is waxing to a crescendo as exalted magical Venus in Pisces swims past Neptune on Wednesday and then bountiful Jupiter, within an hour of the solar eclipse on Saturday. This is amazing energy for hope and optimism about all of life. In its extreme, as it is now, it can also reveal the oceans of illusions that exist worldwide. Venus, the planet of love, money, peace and relationships, is currently a morning star, until October 23, when she returns as an evening star, in the sign of Scorpio. Rising in the morning, she is more assertive, than peace-making. With the Moon in Aries, you can define how you want to direct this dreamy energy. You can envision the ideal. But you’ll still need to do the work to make it real. This is perfect for this final phase of surrender before the Taurus Solar Eclipse begins a new lunar cycle with a six-month significance early Saturday. As I shared in the previous episode, Pluto will station retrograde on Friday, before the Moon enters Taurus. On Thursday, with Pluto at a near standstill, Mercury in Taurus, now in its retrograde shadow, dives into the power of words as you focus deeply on the areas of thought that have been on your mind since the weekend. With Pluto bringing attention to the things that scare you, you can heal deep emotional wounds by understanding what you need to let go of to allow more of the abundance into your life. On Friday, bold Moon in Aries wants act and prepare for the changes ahead as it sextiles Saturn in Aquarius and then conjuncts Eris in Aries. Right after Pluto stations retrograde, the Moon in Aries squares Pluto retrograde, and brings out the importance of perspective as you now have an opportunity to develop the qualities of Pluto within during its 5 month retrograde. Venus in Pisces with Neptune and soon with Jupiter is a reminder of the unity we share, as humans, seeking a good life, through growth that’s infinitely possible and through actions to creating something better. It’s easier to consider other perspectives as Mercury, the planetary communicator and trickster with ever surprising twists, enters Gemini until the 4th of July! Life really is evolving in surprising ways. The Moon in Taurus holds the secrets of what sustainable change means for you as it enters Taurus Friday and slows you down to fully tune into your senses. I’ll be back on Friday with an episode dedicated to the partial Taurus Solar Eclipse that perfects early Saturday.
