Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement.
Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted when the Moon moves through Aquarius.
Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space … Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday until 5:18am EDT, we have an opportunity to connect with like-minded people and be passionate about our projects and whatever else we are up to. (Moon in Aquarius sextiles Venus in Aries, exact at 2:18am EDT)
Monday from 12:25am until 8:25am EDT, we are invited to make clear choices when engaging with like-minded people.
Do your best to balance your need for a cause that changes the future for some (or many) and your desire for heartfelt, joyful self-expression and courageous actions. (Moon in Aquarius opposes Mars in Leo, exact at 4:23am EDT)
Monday from 4am until 12pm EDT, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need to connect with like-minded people while remaining objective.
On the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value, both in others and ourselves (this, in turn, informs our self-worth); as far as possible, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 8am EDT)
Monday from 8:45pm until 2:45am EDT, if you are still awake, we are presented with an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring us progress.
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself and others to be human? What if I took an objective approach toward my flaws, idiosyncrasies, and insecurities? How might this support my healing process? Someone else’s? (Moon in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 11:44pm EDT)
Also on Monday, Pluto finally ends its 4-week Station phase. Although now retrograde, Pluto resumes its normal pace through the sky today. What has come up in the last four weeks around social or political issues?
How about ideas about your future? Or everyone’s future? How empowered or disempowered do you feel about it all? The Retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in this area (the retrograde ends on Oct. 13th).
We now have 6 months to review anything that has felt disempowering to us regarding our social connections.
We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was “in our face” from April 22nd until now — solutions that work well with our inner sense of empowerment and our outer reality.
