Image borrowed from Pitchfork There are few more iconic images of the 1960s (or what astrologers call the Uranus Pluto conjunction) than Peter Fonda in the film Easy Rider and the Woodstock music festival. Both took place in 1969, technically after the end of the big planetary conjunction that brought together the planet […]

The dreamy Pisces Moon makes a grounding sextile to Saturn (rules, limits) but this will probably be overrun by the euphoric square to Jupiter and conjunction with Neptune. Jupiter and Neptune will pump up the illusions, confusion and yearning for something more. Used properly, this energy can offer some beautiful hours of inspiration- Jupiter will exaggerate but also keep things active. And Neptune can indicate a pure point of transcendence, creativity, compassion. or innocence.
But if you get caught up in something undermining, you can float down the wrong path. These energies are escapist, so consider where you’re escaping to. When in doubt, touch base with your focus or foundations (Saturn). Remind yourself of your responsibilities.
The Moon’s final aspect before she goes VOC is a sextile to Pluto, which can gently intensify the above and leave you with a deeper understanding of what limits you transcended. Pluto (transformation) also suggests a quiet ending, which is emphasized by Pisces as the last sign. Watch for a small “death” and release.
As the Moon enters Aries the next day and the VOC ends, it’s the perfect opportunity to jump into something fresh with renewed motivation.

Mercury in Leo square Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)
Here we have surprising or disruptive information. Things are said as a response to the crisis (square) of shock or impatience – Mercury in Leo is public words, and what’s said publicly may rely on shock value for attention. Or, this can be a violent effort to openly express something. This is the loud and jarring idea that will not be repressed.
Too, this can be moment of creative, social or romantic inspiration that opens your eyes to a surprising truth. Lots of drama here, so be prepared for strong reactions. Keeping in mind that Mercury is separating from a trine with Chiron, consider how this can address a painful issue. There could be an awkward truth made public. But the spotlight enables healing because sometimes it’s better to get it out in the open.

As you know, we now approach the festival’s 50th anniversary so a
