Today the waxing crescent Moon starts off in Pisces. Before the end of the day it will transit into Aries, setting off the cardinal points and drawing our attention once again to the long term cardinal point aspects.

Saturn is steadily back-tracking in the fourth degree of Libra, headed for Virgo and its penultimate opposition with Uranus this coming April. The ringed one is still in a functional sextile with Mars, reminding us to keep it real (but not mean). Also of note, Saturn has worked its way inside the degree Pluto occupies in Capricorn. The square of Saturn and Pluto remains functional for the remainder of this year and next. This “inside” position though seems intuitively to have given Saturn the greater leverage for the moment. This may coincide with a slowing down but not stopping the inevitable metamorphosis of the established order. In other words, take the short-term trends with a grain of salt.
Uranus and Jupiter are rolling down the Pisces runway at different speeds but will take off across the Aries point within ten days of each other and conjoin shortly thereafter for the third leg of the cardinal t-square along with Saturn, heading back to Libra by that time, and Pluto which will be right about where it is now due to retrograde early next June.
