The Moon will be in Leo until tomorrow afternoon, towards 6:30 GMT. As you can see from the chart opposite, it will produce multiple conflicting aspects with the planets in Aquarius and some dissonances with those positioned in Capricorn and Pisces. In my opinion, therefore, the week is likely to begin on the wrong foot. Don’t be surprised if the first two days are marked by ups and downs, if you don’t feel all that well or if nothing seems to really function as you wish. That’s the way it is with the Moon. It is being a little capricious at the moment and, after having been opposed to the Sun all this weekend, it now attacks the other celestial bodies. But don’t despair! A general improvement of the climate will gradually occur as from Tuesday evening…
Today, the opposition with Jupiter will make us more excessive, emotive and whimsical. We will go from “laughter to tears” with disconcerting facility. The conjunction Moon/South Node will take place at the end of this morning. It will have a disturbing effect if you suffer from a health problem or if you are in search of the “absolute truth”. The opposition with the conjunction Mercury/North Node will not make communication easy, because it will create interferences between the rational mind and emotions. All kinds of misunderstandings will result from this, as well as imponderables while traveling short or long distances. If you have an important formal meeting today, if you can, try to postpone it until Wednesday…
The opposition with the Neptune/Chiron conjunction will be stronger tomorrow morning. It will accentuate the elements disorder and confusion. It will be more particularly remarkable among ill people, those who take drugs (of any kind) and those suffering from allergies. One will also note a renewal of religious excesses, especially in regions already in crisis, where people could suffer even more during the next two days.
Meanwhile, alas, the inconjuncts will not really temper or limit the effects of the oppositions! In Capricorn, we find Pluto, Mars and the Sun. These planets will play in favor of war rather than peace. What should be done to restore order will be delayed and some errors will be at the origin of annoying problems. If you must get involve in a discussion on a sensitive subject, take a few deep breaths before starting… You will want to “go for it” but you will refrain yourself, lacking real courage or determination. There will be one or several decisions to take, but you will also wait. An incident or accident resulting from the erroneous use of a fragile or dangerous tool (cutting for example) is not impossible. Food poisonings and other affections of the digestive system will be more frequent during the next couple of days…
On Pisces’ side we find Venus and Uranus forming inconjuncts with the Moon. Love is likely to give be a source of confusion. Feelings and emotions will tend to mix to produce problems. By definition, emotions are ephemeral whereas feelings are much durable. When feelings were born from emotions, what happens when emotions disappear? Here is something you may have to meditate on today, especially if you belong to one of the signs concerned: Leo and Pisces.
Uranus proposes a change, an opportunity, an original solution of which we could derive priceless benefit. In spite of that, many of us will choose not to move, preferring not to act, not to speak, not to hope, in order to avoid making another mistake and to have to “pay for it”… However, opportunities usually only pass by once and what is lost then is never really found again. The ambiguity will be to determine what is worth the effort and what does not deserve a thought. Not an obvious choice… The natives of Leo, Aquarius, Capricorn and Pisces will be mainly concerned. But, since we all are “children of the zodiac,” we will be influenced by these configurations at the most primary level (cell) up to the highest level (soul) with more or less intensity according to the organization of our chart. As a rule, then, prudence will certainly mean safety until Tuesday evening. Meanwhile and until Wednesday, take care and don’t hesitate to contact me if you need astrological advice.
