  • Moon in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (17 deg)

  • Moon in Capricorn conjunct Saturn and the South Node (20 deg)

  • Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto Rx (23 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Capricorn at 3:47 pm EDT

  • Moon enters Aquarius and VOC ends (April 26th 5:27 am EDT)

The Capricorn Moon makes some heavy aspects as it crosses Saturn and the South Node – a permanent ending is highlighted, along with the need for control and strict boundaries. This is about a door closing that can never be re-opened. You may briefly revisit something from the past but ultimately you’re encouraged to move on. Watch for a reminder of responsibility.

The Moon’s sextile to Neptune won’t do much to lighten the mood- there may be a gentle reminder that compassion or sacrifice are involved but overall the energy is quite focused on what must be left behind.

The Moon’s final aspect before it goes VOC is a conjunction with Pluto Rx – the death of old traditions/structures or the part of the ending process that allows you to toss out the garbage. Pluto purges and Moon/Pluto can be seen as the purge of outdated needs and attachments.

The Moon is Void for the remainder of the day, allowing you to process the above. As the Moon enters Aquarius the next day, watch for increased clarity, detachment and lightness as you accelerate towards the future.

US Mercury-Pluto oppo to be ‘hit’ by Saturn and Pluto

Since all my current notes on this topic are penned upon the US natal horoscope, below, I’ll add no text today other than to say that these Saturn and Pluto transits begin in February 2020 (the last of which perfects on January 1, 2021 conjunct and opposing our July 4, 1776 5:09 pm LMT positions) and their karmic energies will directly affect America’s natal Mercury-Pluto opposition which is

April 24th, 2019: Waning Trine, Sacred Words and Intensified Transformation

  • Waning Trine between the Capricorn Moon and Taurus Sun (3 deg)

  • Mercury in Aries conjunct Vesta (9 deg)

  • Pluto stations Rx in Capricorn (23 deg)

Waning Trine

The Waning Trine integrates set routines and the preservation of something (resources, security) with the ambition to make it happen. Rather than just sitting there and clinging to what you have, this energy encourages you to focus on what you want, in the future. There should be a reasonable path to follow that allows you to make it real, and a sense that others support and share your goals.

Note that the Capricorn Moon is also squaring Chiron in Aries, so there will be some bumps along the way as you confront fears and weaknesses. If this happens, stick with what you know is solid and has value.

Mercury/Vesta

Devotion to an area of passion, anger or initiative is doubled as Mercury introduces absolute words- say it and make it so. This is an uncompromising verbal or written jolt that’s given power through devotion- what sacred issue demands that you stand up and speak your mind?

Pluto Rx

Pluto retrograde is like going back over the earth you’ve already tilled bcause some weeds still remain. The process of excavation and transformation is targeted on one area where the weeds/rotten structures refuse to let go.

Ongoing transformations can be delayed. A “death” may be put on hold, but it’s temporary. The process is always thorough. Sometimes you get breathing room, and the best use of this time is to take stock of what’s changed so far. And, prepare yourself for the continuing transformations once Pluto stations direct (on Oct 30th).

Pluto will Rx back to 20 deg Capricorn, so 20 to 23 deg of the Cardinal and Earth signs are in the zone for intensified excavation. if you have anything at 23 deg exactly, you’ll experience a pause as of May 19th (roughly) but the deconstruction will pick up again as of Jan 19th, 2020.
