The Changing Moon this Week
The Moon sets the emotional tone as she moves through the Zodiac day-to-day. It takes approximately 28 days to traverse the entire Zodiac. Learning to work with this rhythm will help you align with and relax into an easier flow with the Universe. The luminous Moon spends approximately 2 ½ days in each sign before she moves on to the next.
Monday: The Moon begins the week in chatty, lighthearted Gemini. With Mercury (Gemini’s ruling planet) now happily moving forward you can anticipate a day of buoyant and upbeat conversations. The Moon forms a Grand Trine with Jupiter in Aquarius and Mars Libra suggesting unusual topics that move at a quick pace. At 5:01 PM EDT, the Moon enters Cancer. Enjoy comfort food for supper with your family this evening.
Tuesday: Your attention and focus will be on home and family today. You will be happy if you can stay home as everyone feels like a homebody when the Moon is passing through Cancer. It is easy to get emotional and feel quite sentimental during this time. However, the sentimentality will lessen considerably this evening as the Moon forms an exciting sextile to Uranus at 7:37 PM EDT. You may receive exciting or unusual news or find an unusual and unexpected way to nurture and care for someone you love.
Wednesday: Another day with the Moon in emotional Cancer suggests a powerful need to comfort yourself and others. At 10:48 AM EDT, the Moon forms a trine aspect to Neptune. Allow yourself a few hours to simply rest and dream, don’t put a lot of high expectations on yourself or others. At 6:08 PM EDT, don’t be surprised if someone’s feelings are hurt and the waterworks begin. Offer a shoulder, or request one. It will pass shortly but allow any tears that need to fall.
Thursday: By the time today begins the Moon has swept dramatically into Leo looking for a few playful days ahead. At 4:06 PM EDT, she comes to her Last Quarter Phase of this Lunar Cycle. Consider what has been developing over the past 3 weeks. Today you will want to turn the flame down, reorganize, and prepare to shift or release the emotional heat that began at the New Moon on October 6th. At 7:03 PM EDT with the Moon opposing Saturn, the evening feels quite serious and you may simply want to spend some time alone.
Friday: Friday morning begins with the expressive Leo Moon forming a challenging square aspect to Uranus. Perhaps this is a day to play hooky from work or other responsibilities. You need to feel that the day is your own and others arent’ controlling you or your actions. Perhaps you want to get started early on the weekend. A sextile between the Moon and Mercury at 6:32 PM EDT suggests that a fun interaction or conversation gets the weekend underway.
Saturday: This morning’s Leo Moon offers an opportunity to express generosity and playfulness. Get up early to enjoy this as this playful tone is short-lived this weekend. At 2:10 PM EDT, your attention moves from playful self-expression to simple kindness and finding a way to be of service to others.
Sunday: The week comes to a close with the Virgo Moon forming lovely aspects to both the Sun and Uranus. Roll up your sleeves and enjoy preparations for the week ahead. With a trine aspect to Uranus at 1:32 PM EDT, the afternoon may offer unusual, new, and surprising perspectives

TALK OPENLY AND FREELY
The Moon begins the week in Gemini forming an Air Grand Trine with Jupiter in Aquarius and Mars in Libra. This suggests easy, expansive, and energetic intellectual encounters. Talk openly and freely with folks you encounter this morning. You may make a connection that brings an unforeseen difference in the coming weeks.
When the Moon enters Cancer at 5:01 PM EDT your attention shifts to more sensitivity and emotional depth. You may want to close the door and hunker down with family and loved ones. Because of Cancer’s reputation for such deep sensitivity, it can be easy to forget how strong Cancer is. Cancer is a cardinal sign and is no shrinking violet. If you ever need a fierce defender, look no further than your family members or friends who have a strong Cancer component in their charts.
_The Gemini Moon is void-of-course from 10:11 AM EDT until she enters Cancer at 5:01 PM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._

THE TENDENCY TO SUGAR-COAT THE TRUTH
With the Moon passing through Cancer today you will be at your best if you are able to tend to home and family for the bulk of the day. At 7:37 PM EDT, with the Moon sextile Uranus, you may feel restless and need to shift the dynamics. Have your family members or close friends join as you do something outside your typical routines. This could be as simple as leaning into a conversation that stretches everyone to think outside their ordinary comfort zone.
At 9:05 PM EDT Venus forms a challenging square aspect to Neptune. These are both soft gentle planets so even in a conflicting transit they won’t bring much harm. The challenge here may be as simple as feeling an overabundance of emotion and sensitivity. Increased sensitivity may lead to misunderstandings, as your expectations may not be met. You may also find yourself uncertain about the intentions and motivations of others. One thing to watch out for is the tendency to be less than honest. The truth may feel so harsh and cold that it seems better at the moment to sugarcoat it or lie altogether. Try to keep your eyes open to the reality around you, take what you see through those rose-colored glasses with a grain of salt.

HAVE YOUR FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD READY THIS EVENING
The Cancer Moon continues today suggesting the importance of comfort and nurturance. At 10:48 AM EDT, the Moon forms a trine aspect to Neptune. Allow yourself a few hours to simply rest and dream, don’t put a lot of high expectations on yourself or others. The Cancer Moon asks you to focus on home, family, and domestic issues. Providing comfort and care extends to a powerful need to protect those you love.
At 6:08 PM EDT, as the Moon opposes Pluto you may find that either you or someone else’s feelings are hurt. Don’t be surprised if the waterworks begin, offer a shoulder, or request one. It will pass shortly but have the tissues handy and allow the tears to fall. After the emotional meltdown, indulge in your particular favorite comfort foods and head to bed early.

OFFER GENEROSITY AND KINDNESS
Shortly before the day begins the Moon enters Leo encouraging you to express yourself more authentically. You will want to look for pleasures and activities that bring you into the realm of fun, pleasure, and delighted expression.
The Last Quarter Moon is exact at 4:06 PM EDT. This is the time when the Sun and Moon are in a square aspect to each other as the Moon moves toward next week’s powerful Scorpio New Moon. The Last Quarter Moon comes at the midpoint between last week’s Full Moon and next week’s New Moon. From earth, we see half the disc of the Moon. Half of the Moon is lit by the Sun and half is immersed in shadow. If you are up in the middle of the night you will see it rise. Looking above near dawn you will find it at its highest point, it will then set near midday.
Consider what has been building over the past 3 weeks. What has grown as far as it is able and is now beginning to fade? This phase encourages you to turn down the flame, knowing that all necessary forward action has been done. All that is left is the process of release. Reorganize your priorities and prepare to shift or release an emotional stance that has completed the job it was intended for.
At 3:15 PM EDT Venus forms a sweet supportive sextile aspect to Jupiter. This is a transit that feels great and can relieve tensions in your inner self and your relationships with others. Keep your eyes open to where you can help others and where you can receive assistance from others. This is a great time to fall in love, rekindle love, or simply feel happy in whatever circumstance you find yourself in. Generosity is a great practice for today. What can you offer or give to another that will help them and leave you feeling wonderful about your ability to help another? This lovely transit will help whatever the next few days bring.

PLAN AN ENGAGING FUN INTERACTION AT SUPPER TIME
With the Leo Moon forming a square aspect to Uranus, take the day off from work if you are able to do so without causing too much discord in your workplace. If you must go to a job where you work for others, bring your most innovative self to the job. The problem with work this morning is that it will be easy to get frustrated and bored. Find a new and unusual perspective in your job or your relationship with your coworkers. If you give it your all, you could help to bring about necessary change to your workplace.
A sextile between the Moon and Mercury forms at 6:32 PM EDT suggests that a fun interaction or conversation gets the weekend underway. To prepare for this consider who you want to spend the evening with. Open up the most interesting topics of conversation that you can think of. Have fun with this connection and bring that fun into the rest of the weekend.

MARS ENTERING SCORPIO INCREASES PASSION
At 5:53 AM EDT the Sun, at 7 degrees of Scorpio forms a challenging square aspect to Saturn, the authoritative teacher of the zodiac. This brings us to a day of possible frustration, you may find yourself feeling pessimistic or somewhat depressed. You may feel that your obligations and commitments are holding you back from something you think you need or want at this time. You may want to let go of something in your life that you haven’t finished the necessary work on yet. The tension that you feel this weekend may be pointing you in the direction of the work still to do.
At 10:20 AM EDT Mars leaves Libra behind to join the Sun in Scorpio. Mars has been discontentedly traveling through Venus’ terrain of Libra since September 14th. Mars is delighted to enter Scorpio today where he feels right at home. In Scorpio Mars will increase strength, desires, passion, and empowerment. Hidden desires come more into focus and we may find ourselves ready to face the depth of personal transformation. The Whole Sign House that holds Scorpio in your natal chart will show you where your passions are stirring and transformation is at hand.
At 2:10 PM EDT, the Moon moves from Leo into Vigo suggesting an afternoon and evening where simple kindness may be the most important thing on your agenda. Give a gift of simple kindness to yourself and others.
_The Leo Moon is void-of-course from 3:05 AM EDT until she enters Virgo at 2:10 PM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._

UNCOMMON WAYS TO PERFORM COMMON TASKS
The week comes to a close with the Virgo Moon forming lovely aspects to both the Sun and Uranus. Roll up your sleeves and enjoy making preparations for the week ahead. Pay attention to new ways of doing these common preparations. At 1:32 PM EDT, a trine aspect to Uranus may open your eyes to a new, unusual, or innovative perspective on your health or self-care routines.
Focus your attention on the details of tasks and projects. Remember that there are very few things in life that require perfection. Don’t expect or demand perfection from yourself or others. With the Moon in Virgo stay tuned into diligent step-by-step tasks. You have the ability to analyze the processes and find your way forward to the completion of those detailed tasks. The trine to Uranus helps you find new and unusual ways to perform tasks you may have done a million times in one set way. Find excitement in new ways to do those tasks.
This is a good time to tend to your health. Spend time with your exercise, dietary, meditation, or other health care regimes. Make a list of all that you need to complete over the coming days. The Moon in Virgo loves lists.
In these weekly reports, I explore the major aspects formed by transit between the planets. I do not consider every aspect that the Moon makes each day as they can be numerous and give rise to fleeting moods. The aspects under consideration: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions.
The planets I work with: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
