Okay, let’s get into…the astrology
Today is a pivotal day because the Moon in Capricorn made a square to the nodes at 4:07 am ET. What I have observed over the last couple of years of tracking the Moon closely every day is that when she squares the nodes, concrete events happen in my life and the lives of my clients. So, sometime today, a concrete event may occur that sets things in motion or adds significantly to the trajectory of the storyline of your life.
Because the Moon is squaring the nodes from the southern bending the events will be personal, internal, or private.
The Moon in Capricorn is logical, practical, and resourceful. She is in her detriment in Capricorn because it is the furthest sign from Cancer, her home. Therefore she is less nurturing and mothering and more business-like, and goal-oriented, with a tough love type of demeanor. We may feel that way today as we go about our daily tasks.
After she squared the Nodes early this morning, which is an aspect that will color the whole day, not just the hour that it occurred, she made a trine to Jupiter in Taurus indicating something really good taking place today. Oftentimes the trines go unnoticed because they don’t slap us in the face like a square or an opposition, but they represent things moving easily along, unimpeded and joyously like wind filling our sails! So, the Moon in trine with Jupiter represents happy experiences with family, friends, lovers, spouses, and others in general. Jupiter in Taurus also boosts the Moon’s confidence, since he is in the sign of her exaltation, and so we too may feel uplifted, optimistic, and rewarded for our efforts.
By 10:07 am ET, the Moon will square Chiron in Aries who is at 19°02’, only 22’ of arc away from the Solar Eclipse degree, where he will be in exact conjunction to the Sun and the Moon. This could be something that contributes to the concrete event that is unfolding today triggered by the Moon’s square to the Nodes. Chiron represents an area of our lives where we may feel vulnerable, uncertain, or wounded. It is something we feel needs tending and healing. So, underlying the concrete event of today could be a touchy subject, area, or identity crisis that is fueling our actions.
This afternoon the Moon will perfect a trine to Uranus in Taurus indicating something surprising happening that is positive, joyful, and possibly new!
This evening the Moon will form a semisquare to Mars in Pisces at 5:54 pm ET which may feel like trying to push an agenda that we feel is fueled by our intuition or creative sides, but we don’t get very far with the semisquare, so this could indicate some friction. This is the second semisquare in the Moon and Mars’ full cycle with each other because the Moon is closing in on Mars and will be conjoining him again this coming weekend right before the Solar Eclipse, so this second semi-square is a time when we may invalidate how far we’ve come or the actions we’ve already taken because we are trying to squeeze everything out of this current cycle, but that is not necessary. Instead of getting frustrated with what we still haven’t taken action on, take a moment to be grateful for the things you have done, the steps you have taken, and how far you’ve come along your journey. The Moon trine Jupiter could possibly help us see the blessings and good fortune we’ve had already and rekindle our passions toward creating wealth, and abundance, and working on our achievements with a positive outlook, despite the frustrations, friction, or setbacks described by the Moon semisquare Mars. Don’t beat yourself up! You’re doing great!
Let’s see what the cards have to say…
What is the guidance for today?
Nobody Here But Us Folk-Reversed
On this card we see a group of people sitting around in a circle. They appear to be in a sort of grassy plain with low mountains in the background. Along the bottom of the card reads, “Nobody here BUT US FOLK.”
