Today the Moon continues its passage across the Aquarius stellium of planets, passing by Mars in the wee hours of the morning and then hitting Chiron and Neptune at about 5 pm and 9 pm respectively.  Mercury, planet of thoughts and communication, will conjunct optimistic Jupiter at 2 am tomorrow morning but that dynamic is already in force as the planets approach the conjunction.  

Aquarius is an air sign, and seven planets and lights (Sun and Moon) are now in that sign of brilliant ideas and radical new ways of looking at the world.  We have access to a lot of brainpower now!  The combination of Mercury and Jupiter expands that even more, adding a confidence and openness to new ideas that makes this a terrific day for writing and communication of all kinds.  This heightened mental energy will be a part of the dynamic for the New Moon on Tuesday evening, even though the New Moon is actually in the more dreamy and less well-defined sign of Pisces.  Imagination and belief come together now.

Some of us may experience neurological difficulties or anxiety during this time between the heightened electrical factor and the intensification of Chiron,the Wounded Healer, as the Moon passes by both Chiron and Neptune later today,  You may find yourself feeling particularly emotional this afternoon with the conjunction of the Moon to Chiron, and later in the evening Neptune may cloud the issue.  This is the perfect time to turn within and listen to what your soul has to tell you through your emotions.  

Tomorrow’s New Moon will be a good time for a new beginning!
