Go Ahead, Post That Selfie, but Make Sure to Do This!

At 4:14 a.m.: The moon is sextile Chiron

In the morning, the moon sextiles Chiron in Aries, engendering healing. Under the Aquarius moon, we’re in a solution-oriented headspace, which means we can offer compassion for others’ circumstances without getting maudlin or gushy.  Staying level-headed motivates the people we meet to champion their fears. We inspire courage simply by how we hold ourselves and command the spaces we walk into. In fact, we may not realize that we set an example of strength and self-composure for someone who desperately needed to see those characteristics demonstrated until after this aspect has passed!

At 8:44 a.m.: The moon is square Uranus

Following this, the moon squares off with Uranus in Taurus, provoking shocking or unexpected events! Here, electrifying Uranus acts as the moon’s planetary ruler, so although we may not outwardly display an extreme reaction to surprises…we’re surprised!  This aspect forces us to think on our feet and change course, which is bound to be annoying. But try to take frustrations in stride. You’ll look back on this moment and realize that there were lessons in impulse control and resource management that you would not have learned without navigating a crisis.
