New Moon in Libra perfects @ 11:50 AM this morning, it's linked in the Nerd Report below. 

NOTATION: The Moon moves quickly, so this lunation is the most potent within 30 minutes before and after its conjunction with the , Sun. That puts the time frame at 11:20 AM - 12:20 PM, EDT. I’m not saying the entire 24-hour period isn’t productive, so don't come at me; I’m saying that if there’s a priority on your list, it’s time to tackle it because the energy is the most vigorous.

Venus Rx in Scorpio will be making a challenging aspect to Mars in Leo late afternoon/early evening. Venus is in its detriment in Scorpio; however, its 8th house placement presents opportunities for transformative sexual experiences that exceed the physical in grounded relationships. 

Those experiencing uncertainty may discover this aspect is more intense and challenging. 

Compromise between Venus’ desire for balance and harmony and Mars’ assertive “me-first” 5th house attitude is advised. 

There’s also a potential to attract money or means to grow our finances with minimum effort. 

It would typically be a good time to secure a loan; however, with Venus currently retrograde, make sure all the i’s are dotted, t’s crossed, and you read the fine print meticulously.

Viewing this aspect from a curious standpoint rather than a defensive one—a stumbling block that can be transformed into steppingstones—creates an opportunity for personal growth.

Get curious, not frustrated, about how you can best traverse challenges the way you would any problematic potential in your profession or personal life. The goal is not to survive but thrive through the acquisition of knowledge, regardless of how painful the process. 

This evening, the Moon sextile “The Greater Benefic,” Jupiter in Leo. Jupiter is associated with growth and abundance; however, expands whatever it touches. In this case, the Moon transiting the temperate 6th could involve a type of emotional suppression leading to perfectionism. 

Jupiter transiting the 5th enhances our creative potential, personal expression, and romance; therefore, there is no room for inward suppression without inner and potentially outer discord through critical observations. 

This transit requires that we are honest with ourselves and understanding toward the needs of others. Both will have a positive and mutually supportive impact on group relations and our self.

Ceres in Cancer OOB +N Discussion: FOOD SHORTAGES, TOXIC INGREDIENTS, & ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 

Ceres in Cancer travels OOB +N via the first house Thursday evening @ 10:42 PM, EDT. This will be a long OOB cycle, lasting until June 29, 2027. It will reach its most extreme declination in February/March 2027.  

Coinciding with this OOB +N trek is Ceres retrograde, beginning November 22, 2026, thru February 23, 2027. 

Known to the ancient Greeks as Demeter (from ancient 'da mater' meaning earth mother), and to the Romans as Ceres, the Great Mother and goddess of agriculture, many astrologers attribute her as the ruler of Taurus while others claim she rules Cancer, Virgo and/or the polarity of Taurus-Scorpio due to the presence of earth/water. 

The planet does possess a duality—

Pluto stations direct Thursday night 03°04’ Aquarius via the 8th house @ 10:41 PM EDT.

NERD RECAP: Pluto stations retrograde annually when opposing the Sun, lasting around five months, so its annual retrograde isn’t out of the ordinary. In 2025, it stationed Rx @ 03°49’ Aquarius on May 04, 2025, via the 7th, and stationed direct October 13, 01°22’ Aquarius in the 8th. 

The 2026 retrograde stationed Rx May 06 @ 05°30’ Aquarius, via the 7th, and stations direct Thursday @ 03°04’ Aquarius via the 8th. This backtrack, just as the 2025 retrograde, overlaps the third degree of Aquarius. 

Examining Lynda Hill's Sabian Symbols for Aquarius 03° can provide a deeper insight we may not have previously seen while in the thick of it.

Preface: Pluto stations direct in Aquarius followed by Ceres OOB +N tonight. If you missed the previous discussions on these cosmic events, they’re linked in the Nerd Report below.

Early morning, what is considered one of the “luckiest aspects” in astrology occurs when the Sun in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo in the 2nd & 12th (Placidus) respectively, remains partile through early Friday morning and infuses undertakings with positivity.

Despite being fallen in Libra, the Sun floods the 2nd house with insight over our finances, resources, and earning ability. 

Widely known as a house of limitations, frustrations, and confinement, Jupiter in the 12th combines its expansive wisdom with our subconscious and surrender, leading to spiritual growth, depth, and karmic protection. 

Those with this natal placement (Jupiter in the 12th) often describe it as landing on their feet like a cat whenever something dire threatens to upend their lives. 

The sextile creates an atmosphere of amiability between friends or groups working together toward something that would positively impact the collective—which in turn affects us personally: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”  

Making an effort despite smooth sailing is equally important. It’s nice to lackadaisically drift during lovely weather; however, it’s more productive if we dedicate at least a portion of the day to something positive that benefits our future or that of the collective. Particularly when and aspect as affable as this one presents itself.

Early AM Mars in Leo trine Saturn Rx in Aries, and Venus Rx in Scorpio inc Uranus Rx in Gemini. 

Today will be a day that putting future-focus to the forefront through planning, reorganizing, and/or attention detail and hard work will pay off dividends. This occurs in the 11th and 7th houses respectively, where both highlight groups and intimate relationships. 

Our goals could be furthered enhanced by working with and/or obtaining the input of others.  

Venus Rx in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Gemini may produce tension until the energy is adjusted, integrating both the needs of Venus’ social urge, sense of value, and affection with Uranus’s desire for freedom from routine and/or outdated patterns to pursue new and exciting possibilities. 

This aspect occurs in the 3rd & 9th house respectively, providing Venus the opportunity to recognize all the love currently surrounding her and Uranus the ability to acquire needed insights that can transform tension through equanimity. 

Keep in mind that both of these latter planets are retrograde, inferring a karmic pattern of experience that provides an opportunity for growth through the above means.

First Quarter Square OOB -S, VC Moon @ 25°18’ Capricorn perfects Sunday afternoon @ 12:13 PM EDT, 4th house, it’s natural domicile of Cancer, while the Sun transits the first house of Aries ruled by Mars, occupying an Aries’ degree (25°)—a placement involving the expression of our personal vision and driving our goals forward.

Both luminaries in cardinal signs means when these transits square during the waxing phase, it’s time to reflect, rebalance, and realign. The square itself can feel challenging; however, it’s a powerful opportunity that provides energy and drive to our goals. 

Aries and Capricorn are bulldozers when it comes to getting what they want: Pioneering and eager Aries coupled with hardworking, serious Capricorn energies will need to control their activity at this time. 

These energetic aspects within us need reminding that breaking from forward movement is still progress. 

I mean, it IS Sunday, after all.
