Photo by Eric Francis.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When you think of this Moon, think of Neil Young, Levon Helm, Uma Thurman, Timothy Leary, Marilyn Monroe, Linda Ronstadt and Margaret Mead. On a good day this is a placement known for its objectivity and egalitarian values, sometimes said to be emotionally detached but really emotionally cautious and mentally oriented. <\/p>\n<p>The Moon ingressed Aquarius at 8:27 pm EDT Wednesday, where it will be till early Saturday morning EDT. Thursday the Moon picks up the vibes of many planets in Gemini &#8212; making a trines to Ceres, the South Node, Jupiter and Venus (and of course Mars and Saturn in Libra). This is the day to talk things through, design plans, and make progress on writing projects. The Aquarius Moon loves progress and any opportunity to design the future.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile there&#8217;s an interesting aspect pattern involving Venus, which is in aspect to Uranus, Pluto, Chiron and Pallas Athene. The most potent aspect Venus makes is a square to Chiron in Pisces, developing now and exact Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>Remember that Mars has just ingressed Libra after eight months in Virgo (including the Mars retrograde). That&#8217;s heating up the dynamics about relationships: wanting one, wanting to be free within one, wanting to be free of one and at the least adding some of the passion that can come from individuality. Think of that as running in the background, waiting to be called forward by an emotional spark of some kind.<\/p>\n<p>That spark could come from Venus square Chiron. This is a passionate, curious aspect that can lead you to experiment sexually in ways you might not ordinarily. This is eroticism giving off a cosmic scent, perhaps urgent, leaning toward primal and willing to take chances despite having been hurt in the past. Experiences that happen under Venus square Chiron are more likely to have a &#8216;let&#8217;s try this experience now&#8217; feeling rather than a &#8216;let&#8217;s get together&#8217; feeling, and the words of Janis come to mind &#8212; get it while you can.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember that you may be picking up a mixed signal (or sending one) &#8212; Mars in Libra stirs up passions around &#8216;relationship, the real thing&#8217; while Venus square Chiron is saying &#8216;scratch that itch&#8217;. Good thing the Moon is in Aquarius; don&#8217;t take the whole situation so personally and remember it&#8217;s possible to experiment without getting too caught up in outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: this article originally stated that Venus square Chiron is exact on Friday; it is actually exact Saturday at 9:50 pm EDT.
