The moon enters her darkest phase today as she dips into Cancer. As the moon comes back to her home sign, we are invited to come home to our selves. Our emotions are tangible now, especially if we get still enough to truly feel them. Nourishing our body nourishes our soul over the coming days. As the moon connects with Mars tonight, we can tap into the “why” behind our motivations. When we are clear on our intentions, the next steps are easier to take. A late-night trine between the moon and the Saturn ends our day on a responsible note, allowing us to become the leader of our own stories.

The moon moves into Gemini, helping us mentally process the emotions that we’ve felt over this past moon cycle. As la luna enters her darkest phase, we are invited to find stillness and reflect.

A sexile to Mercury gives us a mental boost, helping us communicate with confidence and clarity. But we could hit an afternoon slump when the moon squares Saturn. Beware of getting caught up in a spiral of doubt or worry. Don’t believe every thought you think!

A new 18-month cycle begins as the North Node enters Aries and the South Node slides into Libra.

As much as we want to root into our comfort zone under the Taurus moon, we are asked to let go of what no longer serves us- no matter how safe it feels. We wake up under a supportive sextile between the moon and Saturn, allowing us to rise to our responsibilities and honor the wisdom we already know.

We’ve got a LOT going on in the stars to start our week! Motivating Mars moves into meticulous Virgo, making us eager to be productive.

This configuration is called a Grand Cross, a highly-activating aspect that can force us to change the way we see the world around us. Conversations and interactions we have today could open us to deeper understanding.

Releasing and creating are part of the same process. The Last Quarter Moon in Aries invites us to find catharsis through movement. Getting our blood pumping can cleanse us of what no longer serves who we are here to become. But this afternoon, Messenger Mercury harmonizes with Neptune, magnifying our imagination. Our intuition can inform creative ideas. It’s easy to empathize with others we’re communicating with too. Late tonight, the moon meets Chiron, triggering past pain. Feeling is healing. Let it out to let it go. Make space.

We experience a sensitive start to the weekend as we start the day under a meeting of the Pisces moon and Neptune. A loose connection to Mercury activates our intuition and imagination, but it’s easy to get lost in a fantasy or overwhelmed by other peoples’ emotions too. Energetic boundaries are a must this morning- Especially as the moon connects with Pluto, bringing deep emotions to the surface. A sense of restlessness could create the urge to force or control a situation. When the moon enters Aries this afternoon, action is our greatest asset to release tension. Movement is medicine today.

The Pisces moon invites sweet release this Friday. Allowing ourselves to let go of control and have faith in a higher power can be truly cathartic.

If doubts or worries pop up when the moon meets Saturn tonight, lean into trust.

This Wednesday is anything but smooth sailing. As tension arises, it shows us what still needs to be healed. Mercury clashes with Chiron, forcing us to acknowledge our pain. If insecurities pop up, it might be tempting to put up our guard, but Mercury in Cancer asks us to stay soft instead and approach our wounding as a nurturing mother would. The waning moon in Aquarius makes tense aspects throughout the day as well.

Let freedom ring! But don’t be surprised if a little rebellion rings out too… Fireworks might not be the only things popping off tonight! Black Moon Lilith harmonizes with Wounded Healer Chiron and our inner bitch is ready to FIGHT if our pride is even the slightest bit threatened. If we can look beneath the pain we feel, we can find the key that unlocks deeper healing- both collectively and personally. Meanwhile, the Waning Gibbous moon moves into Aquarius- the same sign it was in when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776! The moon meets up with Pluto and squares the Nodes of Fate in the process, reminding us that rebirth is possible if we honor the truth of our past while leaning into the discomfort of a brighter future.
