- The Moon entered Cancer at 2:58 am EDT on the 26th, turning our attention to our loved ones and the safety of our tribe.
- On the afternoon of the 26th, Mars interacts with Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in a harmonious sextile which should smooth out any rough edges wrought by the triple conjunction over the past few days. Mars provides energy and inspiration to make any changes that have been revealed to be necessary in the Chiron/Neptune dance of healing.
- The exact conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune occurs on the afternoon of the 27th, enhancing our spiritual wisdom and opening the doorways of perception to the soul.
- A busy Moon on the 27th helps to activate the other planetary events and speed the process of transformation.
- The Moon enters Leo on the 28th at 3:44 am EDT. Now it’s time for a more personal and celebratory experience of life and the process of change.
- Neptune turns retrograde on the 29th at 12:30 am EDT.
- The Moon opposes the triple conjunction that day and challenges us to integrate the process of healing that much more deeply.
- The Moon enters Virgo at 6:17 am EDT on the 30th and inspires us to take care of the details of life with less focus on our own needs.
- Chiron turns retrograde on the 30th at 7:12 am. Chiron and Neptune will remain locked in a tight dance for several months but the intensity of the conjunction begins to wane.
- Mercury turns direct (no longer retrograde) at 9:22 pm on the 30th. While the introspection of the triple conjunction continues with Chiron and Neptune both retrograde, the external manifestation begins to gain traction and move forward with a little more speed.
