Monday, June 29th:

Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra. It will journey there until 6:48pm EDT. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. Today is a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to "yes" more easily than we might like.

We may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can't make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it's "No" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.

Monday at 9:02am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 10 hours until 6:48pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look to expand your perspectives around any long-term goals you are currently pursuing, and find ways to create win-win outcomes for your various one-on-one relationships.

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 morning until the evening ahead of time.

Monday at 6:48pm EDT, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. We feel things deeply and have "X-Ray Vision" and "Bullshit-Smelling Abilities" ;-)

Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.

The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at "old" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.

Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it's "in or out", "with us or against us", "love me or leave me". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we "work" the energies :-)

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they're "polite" or "timely". Feelings aren't facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.

Know thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes "Force" to show up -- and that's ultimately what disempowers us and others.

Also, on Monday, Chiron starts its Station phase in 9.5 degrees of Aries. It is slowing down as it gets ready to start its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase, on July 11th. We will feel the effects of its station until July 21st; its energies are more exalted during this period.

Chiron is known as the "Wounded Healer"; in Aries, our attention is turned towards our physical and sexual wounds, and our wounding around our self-identity. Chiron represents our inner insecurities, those self-conscious and wounded places. Chiron also represents the inner wound of abandonment and our need to "make it on our own".

We are invited to approach these wounds on a holistic level, to heal them such that others are healed thereby. This is accomplished very simply and naturally when we work with the true beauty and strength of this energy: Compassion.

Having compassion for our own wounds or sensitivities heals them and allows healing compassion for the wounds we now see in others.

What physical or sexual wounding could you now acknowledge? Where are your insecurities around personal goals or being a leader in your own unique way? What needs your compassion or even your love? What needs to heal?
