FRIDAY. First, at 5:32 AM ET, Moon ditches Libra for Scorpio, changing the game plan to one of consolidating knowledge for the sake of power and control. This need is driven to extremes in the morning, reflecting Moon's weekly clash with Pluto at 11:45 AM ET. Second, at 8:45 AM ET, the Venus-Uranus conjunction is exact, surprise, surprise...and what a kick-off for the 249th birthday of the United States. Venus-Uranus suggests seismic action in matters of money, values, women, social expression, and the arts. It’s position at the verrrry end of Ta**us suggests matters of material comfort and security are at a crisis point. Third, Venus leaves Ta**us and enters Gemini at 11:30 AM ET. Now, matters of money, values, women, and art will reflect Gemini's need to be clever, entertaining and diverse, with a multitude of irons in the fire. Venus will be in Gemini until July 30th, which is great news for Geminis. Enjoy your fully booked dance card!
FRIDAY (cont.): Moon trines jovial Jupiter at 5:05 PM ET. If you're having a cookout with family and friends, enjoy. Larger celebrations are likely to reflect the Scorpio Moon's need to be right and in control with respect to the expansive patriotism Jupiter in (homeland) Cancer suggests. Not only that, but with Neptune turning retrograde at 5:32 PM ET, idealism and/or delusion are running high. Since I wrote these words on Monday, the Big Ugly Bill was passed on Thursday, and it is scheduled to be signed around…5 PM ET. Let the record show that I had an uneasy sense of foreboding on Monday when contemplating today’s Moon-Jupiter trine. A Scorpio Moon is considered to be debilitated in traditional astrology, On the one hand, it is a fertile placement. On the other hand, a day driven by a Scorpio Moon is apt for scheduling an exterminator. Jupiter expands whatever it touches, with exuberance.
