Today’s headline news is the full moon, arriving mid-morning in the sign of Aquarius! Consider events that have transpired since July 17’s Cancer new moon. At that time, we were invited to set intentions that prioritized our emotional well-being in the face of monumental change. Over the past two weeks, interpersonal and emotional conflict has threatened to pull us back into the past. Themes around our ways of confronting crises, setting boundaries, and releasing old fears have been on our minds. And now, we’re being given a fresh start! Today’s full moon illuminates the self-work of the prior weeks, and also shows a New You coming into being. The sign of Aquarius is known for being the rebel and the rule-breaker. This is innovative, original, inventive energy, and the moon’s transit here encourages us to break our own mold. We have permission to divest from reactive behavior, to quit caring what everyone else thinks, to stop taking everything personally, and to follow our weirder impulses. The moon squares Jupiter in Taurus, which should have us feeling quite good about our progress! Although we might overestimate our energy at this time, our minds will also be open to alternative perspectives in politics, spirituality, and community engagement. This is a day for having breakthroughs and discarding limiting beliefs!
In the early afternoon, Mars in Virgo trines Jupiter in Taurus, aligning action and belief! Use this transit to pursue your dreams, push projects through pipelines, or act on your instincts. Taking a few smart risks to draw in support is advisable. Expect your expertise to be in demand and your magnetism to be high. Today, conquests are guided by ethics. A higher spiritual sensibility imbues us with optimism and allows us to achieve success more easily! Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the good things manifesting in your life now are likely a byproduct of prior hard work and planning. However, the serendipitous situations that occur this afternoon may be difficult to explain!
