Moon in Aquarius

This afternoon at 2:00 PM the Moon moves into eccentric, inventive, independent Aquarius. Despite all the hoopla Aquarius makes about independence, Aquarius Moon draws us to our fellows.  This Moon favors hanging out with your tribe.  Being Aquarius the tribe does not necessarily have to be those you are related too.  This is the tribe of like minded individuals and those with whom you have a shared interest.   Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, does bring with it a desire for freedom, the freedom to be and express our own personal uniqueness. Folks are friendly but not clingy under this Moon.  There is a desire to get out and deal with the public in some way as well as concerns about issues of public welfare. Over the course of this Columbus Day weekend of 2013 Aquarius Moon will be bouncing off, making contact and in general stirring things up with the other planets.  Just after midnight Moon makes a sweet little sextile with Venus favoring that romantic connection.  Remember that under this Moon folks are more impersonal and detached.  This connection may be more like two ships passing in the night.  Get their info while you can.  Early Sunday morning Moon sets off sparks when she connects with Uranus, the ruler of this Aquarian Moon. A sudden jolt of surprise when you wake up and see just who you have been sleeping with, how did I get here you may ask.  A short time later Moon squaring Saturn brings reality slamming into your face.  The question now is how do I get out of here?  By late afternoon another square to Mercury brings some heated discussion.  Try not to get to heavy into politics, sex, or religion as the discussion will quickly turn into a full blown argument with both parties foaming at the mouth.  If that happens, go to your respective corners and chill out. Monday afternoon’s commute may turn ugly as Moon opposes fiery Mars in Leo.  Be wary of road rage, relax the grip on the steering wheel and unclench you teeth.  A little after 5PM the Moon slips into dreamy Pisces.  Throw some soothing music on and shed the stresses of the day.

Venus in Sagittarius

Venus in Sagittarius

Today, Monday, October 07, 2013 Venus moves into Sagittarius.  Venus, the ruler of relationships and money has been traveling through Scorpio since September 11^th.  Venus in Scorpio is complex, secretive and at time obsessive. At Venus’ entry into Sagittarius there is very definitely a feeling of “lightening up.”  Venus in Sagittarius wants to get out there and move around.   Venus in this fire sign does not commit easily. This is probably a good thing because on Thursday Venus moves into a square aspect with Neptune. This combination can bring disillusionment in love, relationships and money deals.  Relationships begun now need the test of time to prove their worth. We don’t see things clearly, are unrealistic and have trouble dealing with reality.  Artists do well under this aspect as it can stimulate the creative juices. 

The prospects for permanent relationships do not improve when Venus forms a trine aspect with volatile Uranus on Wednesday, October 16^th. This aspect brings excitement and a desire to break from the daily routine.  Relationships begun under this aspect sizzle and burn hot and fast but are apt to fizzle just as quickly.

Venus in Sagittarius is a good time to explore and expand your horizons.  Folks from different backgrounds and cultures appeal now and we are often interested in relationships with someone who is not our usual type. This Venus likes to have fun. Sporting events, museums and physical activity holds a lot of attraction.

Take advantage of this fun loving Venus while it lasts.  Venus is a fast mover and only remains in a sign for a short while.  On November 5, 2013 Venus enters earthly, serious Capricorn.  At that time our attention shifts to the practical and material.  Love under Venus in Capricorn is slow to build and has a tendency to last longer.
