Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries until 10:33pm EST. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and enthusiastic about new projects.
Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately.
Monday at 5:19am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 17 hours, until 10:33pm EST. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.
Ensure you allocate time for family matters or home projects while also pursuing your passions and being your authentic self.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning until the late evening ahead of time.
Monday late afternoon, a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 4:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (Feb. 1st) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Feb. 5th). During this time, we are more optimistic.
We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively, and readily inspire others. This harmonious connection also strengthens our ability to connect and collaborate with others.
We tolerate other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease connecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, and countries — and learning about their daily interactions.
This aspect also fosters a “heady” and idealistic experience, focusing on big thinking and learning or sharing from a place of curiosity.
So, ask yourself: What are my expectations or attitudes in my various communities or networks? What new vantage point might show me how to communicate easily and without prejudice?
Optimism plays a big role here as well. Ask yourself: What can I learn now to help me communicate better?
This aspect can provide a new perspective on our business collaborations, daily community interactions, and relationships with siblings (or friends who feel more like brothers and sisters).
How could optimistic thoughts support healthy interactions with others? How might they support self-growth?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 8-14 degrees of Aquarius, Gemini, or Libra? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday late evening, a long-term, challenging Mars/Chiron aspectbecomes exact at 9:44pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Jan. 25th on; it will remain within 3 degrees until April 6th — due to Mars’ Station phase, and changing directions on Feb. 23rd.
We experienced this aspect previously (Oct 8th-19th of last year); it asks us to heal and transcend triggers stemming from our past.
Think back to that time: What triggers stemming from childhood wounds showed up? Were you able to show compassion to your inner wounded child?
Those of us with personal planets (or our Ascendant) in 16-23 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, or Libra will feel most affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries (Mars rules Aries).
Monday at 10:33pm EST, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.
In other words, change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain.What is our favorite thing for the next two days?
It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday very early morning).
