Calm contemplation serves us best today, as exchanges with others may not be tense. 

Late morning/early afternoon Venus in Capricorn square Chiron in Aries & Moon in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius. Venus represents love, beauty, & self-worth and Chiron in Aries represents the Wound of Self; therefore, this aspect presents challenging but transformative opportunities emphasizing a struggle between love, self-worth, and self (emotional) wounds. 

This challenge involves tension and perhaps insecurity in the areas of love, relationships (Venus), and beliefs of unworthiness (Chiron). Awareness brings understanding.

The lunar square to Pluto won't add any comfort to the above. On the contrary, it could prompt compulsive action born of misperception or repressed emotions. Facing our own emotions rather than expecting another to ease our discomfort is the best course of action to restore emotional equilibrium. 

Pluto opens the door for deep excavation in search of answers and understanding, which is exactly what we need—fine the time to sit with yourself in calm contemplation to rebalance, as exchanges with others may not be peaceful, but add to the tension.

We receive exactly what we choose to give. Let it be love and warmth. 

Early morning the Sun in Capricorn square Chiron in Aries, but unlike yesterday, we will experience some emotional respite when the Moon in Scorpio sextiles OOB Mercury in Capricorn late afternoon. 

Opportunity through struggle to increase our self-worth. The Sun represents our identity, self-expression, and power while Chiron the wounded healer. The Sun shining deeply into our emotional wounds may create an unease within us ONLY if we aren't willing to face our wounds and insecurities. Facing them can validate our self-worth, thus, increasing the confidence we need to continue to heal.

The lunar sextile to OOB Mercury provides intense flashes of insight and opportunities for discourse with others regarding what affects you. Because this aspect typically makes it easier to communicate our emotions, doing so provides a much-needed release of those repressed emotional wounds we may have finally faced.

Tonight's trine between the Scorpio Moon and Jupiter RX in Cancer should provide a sense of contentment after two days of emotional challenges. We become the one freely and willingly offering support to others as needed. An increased sense of belonging enables us to easily connect with likeminded—we receive exactly what we choose to give. Let it be love and warmth.

Allowing dreams and fantasies to take center stage re-instills hope in the magic of imagination and creation. 

Early morning the intense, OOB Moon in Scorpio sextile Venus in Capricorn. Utilize caution in becoming too comfortable with others serving your needs. If you can avoid passivity, this transit is wonderful for social interaction and romance. 

Late afternoon/early evening Mars in Capricorn square Chiron in Aries followed closely by the OOB Moon in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces. Mars represents action, courage, and desire, while Chiron constitutes wounds, healing, and attained wisdom through struggle. The square is an opportunity to achieve healing by overcoming inner tension between our aggressive willpower and unhealed wounds. 

We may not feel in control, or powerless in a situation, especially if we're experiencing a fear of confrontation. The trick here is to express ourselves in a healing (Chiron) rather than aggressive, winner-take-all manner (Mars). The ability to control ourselves while confronting others is a gateway of potential for self-empowerment. 

OOB Moon in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces creates a dreamy, creative and yet intense energy that regenerates the spirit if we succumb to it. We all need to relax and allow our dreams and fantasies to take center stage at times. It re-instills hope in the magic of imagination—as long as we realize that fantasy isn't reality. Forms of art are highly favored during this time.

Knowing the difference in friendly banter and competitive debate saves us from appearing smug and/or self-righteous. 

These aspects pass pretty quickly; therefore, won't affect the East Coast and back; it's more for my clients across the pond and beyond. 

Early morning the OOB Moon in Sagittarius sextile Pluto in Aquarius, excavating deep emotions within and without relationships. You may have the desire to carefully evaluate each one, especially those close to you. Avoid a propensity for impulsiveness (OOB Moon) that returns to haunt your future. 

Addressing our feelings openly and honestly utilizing compassion rather than power struggles serves us best. 

Mercury OOB in Capricorn opposite Jupiter Rx in Cancer follows the above, ushering in an opportunity to reconcile fast moving Mercury with back-stepping Jupiter. Don't jump the gun or act like a know-all be-all when communicating with others. Be open, teachable, and concise, as in pay attention to the small print when it comes to business dealings. Know the difference in friendly banter and competitive debate.

The unexpected can bring excitement rather than frustration if we're not chained to duty or responsibility.

Early morning across the pond, Venus in Capricorn sextile Saturn in Pisces, enhancing the process of responsibilities in a more pleasant way. We tend to put others before ourselves today, which is lovely as long as it's not to our emotional or physical detriment. It's a perfect time to communicate expectations in relationships to clear any malefic emotions. Make sure those expectations aren't so high they become impossible for others to fulfill. 

Tonight, Venus in Capricorn trine Uranus Rx in Taurus, throwing routine to the wolves! The unique compels us toward something thrilling, whether it's a challenging sky jump or love affair. Relationships begun under this transit aren't typically lasting; however, are thrilling, nonetheless. The unexpected can bring excitement rather than frustration if we're not chained to duty.

Ascertaining reality from illusion will be essential this morning. 

OOB Moon in Sagittarius square Saturn in Pisces, Mercury in Capricorn square Chiron in Aries early morning for my clients across the pond. This energy will be waning, yet lingering by the time my U.S. clients, friends, and followers wake. 

If you rise melancholic, associate it with the lunar square to Saturn, not reality.  You are not alone & very much loved. If you have difficulty relating, evaluate your thinking. Are your thoughts negative? Do you feel unworthy, misunderstood, or unappreciated? Try to focus on something positive to shift the energy. 

The Mercurial square to Chiron indicates an opportunity to heal through communication; however, the lunar square to Saturn may cause difficulty unless focused on the positive rather than our self—eschew pity parties. Give what you desire to receive.

Early morning, EST, the OOB Moon square Neptune in Saturn. Don't fall for the escapist trap. Experience the moment to heal and grow. Stay grounded to ascertain what is reality and what is illusion—including your own feelings. 

Thankfully this energy passes quickly. But not without consequence if we aren't careful.

ASPECTS (Time/degrees below)

Early morning Venus in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces followed by the Sun in Capricorn sextile Saturn in Pisces. Exposing ourselves to the arts will greatly enhance our creative abilities. Sensitivities are greatly magnified, particularly in relation to beauty, be it nature or manmade. A potential "soulmate" connection in relationships brings the potential for a soul-filled union. Enjoy it while it lasts because the latter sextile brings our focus to duty and responsibility. Our minds are ready to tackle complex tasks effortlessly. 

Sun in Capricorn trine Uranus in Taurus in the afternoon, heightening our discernment regarding the interrelatedness of our lives. Sudden epiphanies or unexpected discoveries seem to rise to the surface of our realization during this time. We feel at ease within our skin and possess the confidence to be ourselves. Esoteric study is also highly favored. 

Tonight, the OOB Moon in Capricorn opposite Jupiter Rx in Taurus, requiring reconciliation between the desire to freedom and potential pressure from others to conform to their wishes to avoid disagreements with partners, associates, or even friends. 

It's a good time to self-evaluate goals and aspirations born of a "spiritual disquiet" revealing a new trait, gift, or beneficial direction to consider.  

This Capricorn Moon is to be celebrated, as it provides the focused energy to manifest our goals and dreams while keeping us grounded in reason. Just remember those feelings and emotions also need attention.

New OOB Moon in Capricorn 

We currently remain in the Dark OOB Moon until the New OOB Moon in Capricorn perfects @ 2:52 PM, EST, 9th House, the natural home of Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter. 

Here a desire is to shake up routine could become paramount. This may be at odds with the Moon's natural disposition to remain within the safety of the familiar. A good compromise is a comfortable day trip within known surroundings.

ASPECTS (Time/degrees below)

Early morning Mercury conjunct Mars in Capricorn. While this aspect lends a powerful energy to our intellect, which in turn promotes inspiration as well as a desire for debate, which can be taken too far. Guard against egotistical behavior, defensiveness, and irritability that creates conflicts over trivial matters. Sometimes not defending our position to prove a point is the only defense it needs. 

Mid to late morning, the OOB Dark Moon in Capricorn Square Chiron in Aries conjunct Mercury in Capricorn. Intricate emotions fueled by insecurities. Creating a healthy self of self-worth includes holding space and nurturing our own wounds as we would others shapes the potential for healing growth. 

Seek information that influences our mood toward a more positive outlook will help. Communicating our feelings to someone we trust has a positive impact if we tend to overthink. 

Don't get sidetracked by trivial matters and lose focus on what's important. 

Early through midafternoon, the Moon sextile Saturn in Pisces conjunct the Sun in Capricorn. We may feel like self-isolating to balance emotional needs with our obligations. The New Moon conjunction can recharge energies and meld mind and heart. However, if we feel depleted, it's okay to rest. There's powerful energy at play here and it doesn't affect everyone the same. 

Late afternoon, the Sun/Neptune sextile creates an easier opening to give and receive. With the Moon now inbound, a heightened intuition, spirituality becomes important to us, and we must just realize that helping those less fortunate rescues us from insecurity and doubt. 

Tonight, the New Moon conjunct Venus in Aquarius. The energy has shifted from Earth to Air; therefore, we may feel like socializing. Existing relationships receive a boost, and domestic beautification appeals to us. Guard against overindulgence, whether shopping, eating, or drinking.
