January 30th, 2019: Your Opportunity

Waning Sextile between the Sagittarius Moon and Aquarius Sun (10 deg)
Moon in Sagittarius sextile Mercury in Aquarius (10 deg)
Moon in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)
Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter (17 deg)
The Waning Sextile is an opportunity that can propel you towards the February 4th New Moon. A sense of adventure, exploration or the desire to expand your knowledge can be harnessed and applied to an issue that’s innovative or unusual. This sextile includes Mercury, so it will feature communication or new information.
What you learn or say will help you progress from the past to the future – knowledge is your fuel.
Yesterday’s Sun/Mercury conjunction will factor into this – how can you carry that clarity forward? What more can you do with with it? Is there something you need to say?
The Moon’s square to Neptune may briefly throw you off track as inflated hopes distract you – keep your eye on what you know to be true, not what you’re wishing for. The Moon’s final aspect (a conjunction with Jupiter) says there’s significant promise if you can avoid getting caught up in an illusion. Even if you feel disappointed with what goes down, know that Moon/Jupiter means there’s a real reason to be optimistic.
Overall, today should feel hopeful, but it’s up to you to do something with the opportunity that’s growing.

Sun conjunct Mercury in Aquarius (9 deg)
Mars in Aries sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (19 deg)
Uranus in Aries sextile Vesta in Aquarius (28 deg)
The Sun/Mercury conjunction is a “Full Moon” phase in the Sun/Mercury cycle – a superior conjunction that delivers an answer or result. In Aquarius, we can expect it to be surprising, clear and possibly disruptive. A light will be shone on all matters involving the collective and your relationship to society.
The last Sun/Mercury conjunction occurred on November 27th, 2018 at 5 deg Sagittarius, when Mercury was Rx. This was an inferior conjunction- the “New Moon” part of the cycle and a new beginning. What was introduced at that time may be connected to the results you see today.
The Mars/BML sextile is a harmonious blend of male energy (Mars) and the dangerous, rebellious woman. She is energized by Mars, which could mean she uses male energy/sexual energy to her advantage. Or, she uses conflict and anger to power her forward (smoothly), drawing the collective’s attention to her taboo issues. Uranus adds oomph to Vesta’s focus on independence and liberation- Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) adds gentle encouragement to the devotion of whatever’s on the outside.
Combined with Sun/Mercury, today’s influences all favour the outsider, the rebel or the detached observer. Today is an excellent day to gain clarity and perspective on a difficult issue because emotions will be less pronounced than logic. Stepping outside the lines is a possibility, with innovative flashes and surges of quirky or shocking energy.

New Moon in Aquarius: The Word from Lilith

The February 4th New Moon (15 deg Aquarius) conjoins Mercury and Black Moon Lilith. Here we have a new beginning that features information/communication about the dark lady.
BML in Aquarius is the taboo woman who does her own thing. She rebels against all the “shoulds” and makes most people uncomfortable because she is atypical- she does not act the way the rules say women “should” act. In general, BML is associated with women’s sexual power, the witch, the prostitute, the female demon or the woman who refuses to belong to any man.
In Aquarius, her outsider status is emphasized as is her tendency to draw people’s attention to uncomfortable but truthful subjects. Conjunct Mercury and this New Moon, we might expect a shot of disruptive clarity about a very uncomfortable subject. Since it’s a New Moon, there will be more to come – we’ve only started.
This Moon/Mercury/BML make a supportive sextile to Jupiter in Sagittarius. So despite the somewhat shocking nature of this energy, Jupiter offers optimism and luck. The word that’s revealed may come out in the best way at the best time. Others may be surprisingly receptive to what’s revealed, or the forward momentum of what’s happening may be increased with legal support, education or expansive views. In a harmonious sexitle to Mercury in open-minded Aquarius, Jupiter hints that the vibe is non-judgemental and unrestricted. So there’s plenty of room for this to grow.
Watch for some jarring revelations or conversations, but don’t be afraid of what you learn.
Note that this Moon will only be 1 degree off from an exact conjunction to the Saturn/Neptune midpoint. Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces will make the first of three exact sextiles on January 31st (at 15 deg). This sextile combines form (Saturn) and formlessness (Neptune) suggesting that dreams/belief can be given structure while structure can be gently changed. Activated by this Moon, it adds an undertone of existing rules gradually dissolving so something new can emerge. That works well with Aquarius’ energy.

January 28th, 2019: Quiet But Heavy

Moon in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (14 deg)
Moon in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)
Moon in Scorpio square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (19 deg)
Moon in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn (21 deg)
Moon Void of Course in Scorpio (21 deg 5:38 pm EST)
Moon enters Sagittarius and VOC ends (Jan 29th 9:32 am EST)
A rather quiet but heavy Scorpio-flavoured day. The sextile to Saturn can confirm a deep commitment in a gentle way. This is subtle but serious – a nudge that there’s something you cannot escape because it’s inevitable. The trine to Neptune can deepen things even more as Neptune dissolves limits and Scorpio pushes the limits. So we have a dive into something profound and possibly dark. But Neptune makes the transition seamless – it will feel natural to submerge yourself.
On the way down, the Moon squares BML. She is the Moon’s “opposite” – the point furthest from the Moon. In Aquarius she is the dark rebel woman and sh*t disturber who raises uncomfortable issues about gender and sexual dynamics. When she squares the Scorpio Moon, watch for shadows behind the rebellion. The angry woman may have shadows of her own (especially involving the interplay between the alternative and traditional feminine) or she may be confronting deeper and uglier truths about her position on the edge of society. The square is a crisis.
What’s waiting at the bottom? A sextile to Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler). The last aspect before the Moon goes VOC, this sextile is another gentle nudge. This time you’re reminded of the benefits of transformation which include a total loss and rebirth. Something must die before you can evolve. Nobody said Scorpio was easy.
The sextile (again) should make this process relatively painless, so as you enter VOC territory you can rest and contemplate what you let go of or what left you. It should feel “ok” as in “this is the way it’s meant to be.” There may even be peace.
The Moon’s entrance to Sag should lighten the mood considerably, with a fiery surge of new possibilities – your reward for braving the Scorpio depths.
