Moon in Aries sweeps sextile the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, starting early, and ending at 5:13 pm PDT when she goes Moon Void of Course till the wee hours of the night. Moon also becomes inconjunct Saturn, making a YOD of Finger of God formation with the trio which is also still inconjunct Saturn. This points to a possibility of a turning point in the realms of responsibility or learning, with uncertainty nudging it; and yet a paradoxical stable, feet on the ground, "put it in low gear and push it through" kind of foundation. Mercury has begun it's retrograde sweep back across the Saturn/Uranus axis of the grand cross of changes. As Mars moves out of the orb, the configuration will become a T-square. In some ways, less relentless and less balanced---putting more emphasis on Pluto---hence the meme of "upheaval". See the Aug 31 post on the long term scheme of that theme.
