Moon in Aries was sextile Venus and square Vesta in the wee hours, and coasts idly today, leaving the other heavenly bodies to do the talking.

Ever had a time when things just were not quite....something....neither this nor that, hard to pin down? May be a bit of that today, hopefully not much. Still on the theme of values, there is an experience of walking the fine line between responsibility/boredom and breaking out, rebelling just for the sake of rebelling, to discover there is more to it than just being the rebel without a cause.

Along with the usual cast of characters (see prior posts) there may be a bit of the "total perspective vortex" experience in the air today. We may wonder about and/or question our place in the scheme of things.

There may be some kick, restlessness, or motivation to action about home/family/childhood stuff, as Venus has pulled away from the conjunct with Mars of last Month, and Mars is still square the Chiron/Neptune/Jupiter trio. Again, the Month of July may be a time (for better or worse) of deconstructing, uncovering depth in relationships or partnerships as Juno will be square Pluto.

Moon in Sagittarius will be square Saturn exact at 4:43 pm PDT, meaning there is a possibility of crying over spilled beer at the BBQ today, with Mercury opposite Pluto adding inner fireworks to the mix. May be a bit of a day of paradoxii; somewhat melancholy, self reflective tugs from within, and playful, nudges towards fun in an outgoing kind of way.

As Juno pulls away from conjunct Uranus, she is sextile/trine the north/south node axis for the next month or so. With a little preening, any ruffled feathers in the relational realm have a chance to settle down. All other things equal, which they rarely are, there may be a bit of emotional turmoil in the aethers today, the kind that retail therapy really does not address. Values beyond material are of importance, and there may be a challenge to understand that emotioal security is not provided by shiny things, even if it is fun trying.The Birthcard today is the Queen of Diamonds, a Saturn implementation of a Mercury core, with a 3 of Diamonds inside and a 9 of Diamonds outside.

Moon in Scorpio makes a mini grand trine in the morning, then goes for a T-square and trine in the evening. Moon is sextile Saturn exact at 5:12 am PDT, sextile Lilith Moon exact at 11:37 am PDT; then throught the evening and into the wee hours of the next morning opposite Mars, sweeping square the Chiron/Neptune/Jupiter trion, trine Uranus, opposite Venus, and trine Juno. Likely a morning of what's it all about, and what is my place in the scheme of things if one is inclined to such ponderings, otherwise just a mellow morning. Later in the day the whole mish-mash of themes (see prior posts) boy/girl (and permutations), family, idealism, changes, childhood, dreams, altruism, innovation; and articulation of all of the above is/are likely to be lit up. Values, material and spiritual may demand attention; love is not the question, it is the answer in case we momentarily forget.The Birthcard today is the King of Diamonds, a Mars expression of a Venus core with a 3 of Clubs inside and a 7 of Spades outside. KDs include Charles Darwin, Albert Schweitzer, Faye Dunaway, Rudolph Valentino, Sharon Stone, Abraham Lincoln, Orson Welles, Christina Ricci, Franz Kafka, Ray Manzarek, Seymour Hersh, Harriet Tubman, and Vicente Fox.
Moon in Scorpio was sextile Pluto midnight or so last night, how were your dreams? Moon will be trine Vesta exact at 7:01 am PDT and trine Sun exact at 4:48 pm PDT. Might be a harmonious time except that as Vennus is slowly separating from Mars, they are both in the orb of square the long lasting Chiron/Neptune/Jupiter trio. Likely to be "old stuff", emotions that are clearly felt, but not clearly understood at first, nor the origins of such understood at first. Not just boy/girl stuff (and permutations) but relational, as we learn through mirroring, we also are wounded through broken attachments. This is a good time to explore, as Mercury is trine the same trio easing articulation and communication; yet with Mercury also square the Uranus/Juno pair there is some "kick" or juice to move and explore. Uranus joins Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron, and Pluto in going retrograde from our perspective. A change of the change may be more of the same: change.The Birthcard today is the Ace of Spades, the Card of the Magi, a Mercury expression of a Neptune core, with a 7 of Hearts inside and 2 of Clubs outside.
