Dear Friend and Reader:
Today the Moon is making a lot of asepcts in a cluster, which could manifest as turbulence, stress, or a call to action. I’ll go over the aspects, which relate to two features I’ve mentioned many times — the Venus-Mars conjunction in Taurus, and the triple conjunction in Aquarius. Those two events are related by the way — Venus and Mars are both gradually sailing into a square aspect (90 degrees, fixed sign to fixed sign) with the triple conjunction. Can you visualize that? First Venus (the faster moving of the Venus/Mars pair) will square the triple conjunction, starting on July 1 when Venus squares Chiron then four days later, Mars squares Chiron.
From now until then this process will be building its energy, and there is a lot of energy to build. The individual, emotional, personal, sexual energies of Venus and Mars will be encountering the collective, era-defining, social energies of the triple conjunction. You will see cheesy horoscopes use the word ‘clash’ to describe the square. This or any similar language would be an inaccurate overstatement; the effects, which are currently developing, are subtle, and personal. I’ll say more about this as the events develop and we get more reports in from our readers, many of whom actually do have a handle on how these energies manifest.
Just remember, Neptune is involved, and Neptune is subtle. It has an extremely wide orb of influence — the widest of all the planets and minor planets, and we are well within range of Neptune’s orb — which I would put at at least 15 degrees on the applying side of an aspect (that is, before the aspect actually perfects, as it’s developing).
However, that’s not what I planned to write about today — that story is the background. Today the Leo Moon is about to square Venus and Mars; and then overnight and tomorrow, it’s about to oppose the triple conjunction in Aquarius. So we get a little warm up of what it might be like to have Venus and Mars plunge into a square with Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune.
Moon square Venus and Mars is often experienced as emotional, or a bit over-emotional. The magnanimous quality of the Leo Moon can come into some conflict with the needs presented by the Moon-Venus square. I would say let your needs be real. The important thing is to take them where you can get them met. Often we know our emotional or spiritual needs and pick someone we think can meet them, who unfortunately cannot. Our values around relationship have become rather clingy and loaded with expectation in these ‘neoconservative’ years — and we need to be alert to this fact; we need to notice who is not dancing with us and find someone who will.
Yes, this means change, but if you ask all these squares and oppositions in the sky and in our souls right now, change is the name of the tune. Take action.
today, i let my needs be real.
today, i decided to have faith that the universe supports me in insisting on being treated with respect.
today, as a result, i turned in my resignation at my crap job in a coffee shop, which pays very little, and comes with a lot of hard work and mistreatment by the owner, maude bless her soul.
today, not two hours from this moment, i have three new house cleaning clients, one of which owns an entire complex of apartments. i also have support in actually incorporating my business and running an ethical, earth friendly company, that is fill with gratitude for its workers, and makes its clients happy.
today, i am setting up my life financially to support the growth of my love – music – so that it may eventually support me financially as well.
today, (last night), i told a person goodbye who i needed to let go, as they were leading me on and would not even honor a basic request for communication.
today, while sad and very emotional at points, and hard in that “jumping-off” moment, is a wonderful day, filled with hope, impetus, and yes, ACTION.
praise be.

I’ve glanced at this page several times today, and every time I see this…
” First Venus (the faster moving of the Venus/Mars pair) will square the triple conjunction, starting on July 1 when Venus squares Chiron then four days later, Mars squares Chiron. ”
…my glad-o-meter goes stratospheric. Hubba-hubba… this is the launch of the aspects that will culminate on the first lunar eclipse on the 7th.

Oh baby!! I just looked at the Khaldea calendar for July 1 ((guFFah!)) In addition to 12 or 13 *other* transits that day, both Merc and Uranus make quincunxes to la Luna within 3 minutes of each other. Q’s are said to be among the most “difficult” aspects, but I was born with my sun Q’d to both my Moon on one side of the chart, Q’d to my Rising on the other, so I’m good.
The potential when those Q’s catch some lunar fire might be more fun than we’re used to, though. Here’s a thought: poke five big holes in your body and let the Mercurial Moon juice just pass *through* – Hmmm… wait a minute! we already have five big holes (or ten): eyes, ears, nose, etc. Okay, perhaps you’d want to tune them up a bit, put on a bit of rouge…
Sensibly yours,

‘Values around relationship . . .’ I’ve had two very close relationships end in the last month, following a pattern of relationship endings. In the others I can see where my behaviours have contributed to the breakdown, but with these two, and particularly the last one, there seems little justification. It all feels really disturbing and turbulent, and I hope positive change is ahead! Thanks for your work.
