Today is Friday, June 10, 2011. The Libra Moon is conjunct Saturn today; the aspect is exact at precisely noon EDT. The Moon and Saturn pick up lots of energy from the air signs — Gemini is home to the South Node, Mercury, Venus and the Sun. Three minor planets are in Aquarius: Pallas, Vesta and Nessus. This is a lot and I do mean a lot of air sign energy. It’s a grand trine — a thing in which it’s possible to get caught, which will feel like obsession of some kind. If that happens, how to get out? Fast!
Now, the thing about air signs, particularly when they’re all going at once, with the Moon there, is that life can be a lot of talk and a bit less action; so make sure you know what side of that line you want to be on. Air can also have a volatile quality. Venus in Gemini is working her way toward a square to Chiron. That has an addictive, pleasure-seeking quality. It’s a kind of trigger. So too is Mars in Taurus about to make a square to Nessus in Aquarius. That may be suggesting something to be angry about and if so, it’s likely to be something old: perhaps even ancestral. So before you get outraged at something you think is one thing but is really something that afflicted your great great grandfather, use some of that airy energy and reason a bit. This is a good time to talk it out — gently. As shy as we often get about it, we all want to be known for who we are; sometimes we do this via our actions, sometimes by words. This is a weekend for stating who you are — that is, both sides of who you are. Let your inner twin of opposite gender come out to play a bit in conversation, and listen for when others do the same. The air may be abuzz with apparent contradictions, so remember to make room for everyone else’s alter-egos as they think out loud.
