The Sun enters Pisces this morning at 7:46 am, and for the next month or so the illumination of the Sun will be focused on matters of the spirit and creativity.  The Moon, still in Sagittarius today, is waning which makes this a less desirable time to start new projects.  Except, perhaps, a weight loss program such as the one that I began on Tuesday so hopefully this will give me a boost!  When the Moon is waning there is a spirit of decrease rather than increase.  It’s a better time to, say, clean out the closet and take things to the thrift store, than to invest in the stock market. 

The Moon will form stressful aspects to Saturn and Uranus today, aspects which will be in effect from about 9 am this morning EST into the afternoon.  The expansive Sagittarian Moon is confined by Saturn and made even more restless by Uranus, so this could be a period when tension builds and needs release.  This difficult period will be ameliorated by a sextile (harmonious aspect) to Chiron in the afternoon, increasing our ability to understand and process difficult emotions that may arise today.  In the early evening the Moon will sextile Neptune – a beautiful time for creative expression and loving feelings as Neptune opens the heart of the Moon to divine compassion.  This is probably not the best time, however, for projects that require intellectual focus or drive.  That time will come tomorrow when the Moon enters Capricorn and practicality and attending to the business at hand takes center stage.
