Today and tomorrow, the waning Aquarius Moon is bending to its mission, working to very much the same ends as it was while in Sagittarius last Thursday and Friday. Its mission is one of mediation and moderation between the polarity of Jupiter opposing Saturn, extending to the Aries New Moon at the end of the week. The astrology will be symbolic and, ultimately instructive.

Last week, the Sagittarius Moon’s connection to the Jupiter-Saturn opposition was a relationship between the fire and air elements that distinguish the signs these planets are in. Luna in the fire sign Sagittarius shared that same element with Jupiter in Aries, also known as a trine. The Moon was sextile to Saturn in Libra, which is a supportive relationship between two complementary elements.
Today and tomorrow the same modality transitions to an alternative expression. The flow has shifted. There is now an air sign trine between Saturn and the Moon. Lunar reinforcement is now applied to Saturn’s predilection towards limits and definition. This does not suffocate the flame of creativity. Air supports fire. The Moon’s relationship to Jupiter however, economizes the fire and encourages its direction.
Today’s Jupiter-Saturn opposition does not stand alone, it is part of something bigger, just like any one of us are. It will grow as any one of us grows to exist in relationship as the Moon gradually moves to conjoin with the Sun in Aries this coming Sunday. By then polarity will cease to be about two planets and grow to include other objects. It will no longer be about the relationship of sign elements, it will also include the paradox of their associated qualities. More to the point, the lunar perspective from Aquarius is more about how each one of us interfaces with a collective than how we individually experience our own passion. The prefix “com” is in play, as in communicate, commute, community and compassion.
