Moon finishes up in Aries this morning, sextile The Sun in the middle of the night, then a mini-grand trine sextile/midpoint between Mars and the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, ending at 1:04 pm PDT when she goes Moon Void of Course. A chill afternoon and evening till Moon enters Taurus at 9:50 pm PDT, then will be trine Pluto around midnite PDT. Although Mars is square Saturn, Mars is also sextile The Sun and trine the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, so there is likely less of an angsty edge and more of an assertive, take charge "get it done" vibe around (except this afternoon and evening during Moon VOC). Vesta sextile Saturn adds harmony associated with responsibilities. However, Saturn is inconjunct the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, and The Sun is opposite the same trio, so there also likely a challenge of fuzzy headedness or uncertainty in getting to the assertiveness. Moon is square the north/south node axis today adding a bit of an edge. Sometimes there are clear, clean sets of transits, sometimes there are mixed messages; this would be a time of the latter.

The Birthcard for today is the 2 of Diamonds, a Mars expression of a Saturn core with a 6 of Clubs inside and an Ace of Diamonds outside. 2Ds include Vandana Shiva, Corazon Aquino, Viktor Yushchenko, Jose Silva, Benjamin Disraeli, Anna Freud, Modest Mussorgsky, Rosie O'Donnell, Art Garfunkel, Harrison Ford, Peter Fonda, Jayne Mansfield, Mike Douglas, Dudley Moore, Taj Mahal, Johannes Gutenberg, Jean Fourier, Leo Tolstoy, Neils Bohr, Ole Evinrude, Trent Reznor, Andy Williams, and Howard Jones.
