ANOTHER EXTENDED Void-of-Course Moon (24+ hrs.) in combination with an OOB N' position. 

We enter an EXTENDED V/C beginning this evening at 6:11 PM that will last until Sunday evening @ 6:46 PM when the Moon enters Cancer. 

I am happy to see more astrologers incorporating V/C and OOB Moons into their articles. These are important factors that influence the decisions we make. Particularly in reference to the V/C's axiom, "Nothing will come of the matter." 

From what I have personally experienced, nothing has! 

A Void-of-Course signifies that all is not as it seems and can be daunting; it may not be a good or appropriate time to answer your question or begin something new. As it is now, the results may not be what you want.

Matters will not go as you planned; in fact, most of the time it will end up far worse than you planned. You have been caught blissfully unaware. You’ve missed something or you weren’t paying close enough attention. But you won’t be able to set the situation right at the current time.

Sit still and stay as you are. Take no action at the current time. Wait for the storm to pass over. It is time to be patient and allow matters to settle before beginning anew. Allow this matter to resolve on its own without your help, work, or interference.

Moon sextile Chiron & Mercury Cazimi in Cancer—Emotional clarity and clear insight. 

Note: The Moon is in an extended V/C until it enters Cancer this evening, in addition to being OOB N' until Tuesday afternoon.

This evening the Moon in Cancer sextile Chiron in Taurus @ ground zero (0°), signifying an emotional beginning. This could be from the release of a weight we've been carrying. Forgiveness is a portal for spiritual advancement that's never about the other person, but us. Don't continue to allow the chambers of your heart to remain cluttered by the wounds of history. 

Love is a bird that needs release. 

Tonight, the Sun conjunct Mercury in Cancer, 6th House, an excellent realm for critical analysis, attention to details, and creating a successful plan. There's a chance we could feel somewhat out-of-sorts in this arena of fiery logic; however, we can choose emancipation from insecurity and doubt trough determined thought.

With the Moon OOB N', we may feel more outwardly empowered through emotional expression and nurturing impulse. It's the perfect time to prepare for a new business venture or launch before setting the plan in motion.

Dark OOB N' Moon in Cancer and a Sabian Symbol Story

Note: The Moon is OOB N' until Tuesday afternoon.

DARK MOON IN CANCER

Dark OOB Moon in Cancer began this morning @ 5:44 AM, 12th House, a realm of subconscious and endings known as the dustbin of the horoscope, a place where we tend to turn away from issues or difficulties too painful to face or hide from others. It also holds our hidden strength and spirituality. 

Full Article linked below along with Goddess suggestions.

ASPECTS (Times/Degrees below)

All aspects today occur on the fourth degree. A repetition like this urges me to view the Sabian symbol for a deeper understanding of the unfolding story. 

Because you add 01° degree to the Sabian symbol that you are researching (in this case, 04°), we're focusing on Virgo 05°.  According to Linda Hill*, this symbol represents "A PERSON BECOMING AWARE OF NATURE SPIRITS AND NORMALLY UNSEEN SPIRITUAL ENERGIES [after overcoming limiting beliefs]."

Midmorning, Venus in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini, and early - late afternoon, Venus in Virgo inconjunct Neptune in Aries inconjunct Pluto Rx in Aquarius. 

These aspects involve the transcendental planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (the latter two Rx), providing a deeper opportunity for transcendent energies to permeate our consciousness with the spiritual, intuitive, and metaphysical realms. 

If we can keep an open mind and remain teachable, great insights and new perspectives rise within us. As scales falling from our eyes, we see the gifts of diversity as part of the whole. Our minds become attuned to the magic of Life and blessing of just Being. 

There's an entire world waiting for us to enter through a childlike mentality we once possessed when we read fairy tales and discovered worlds within our imagination. Where fantasies and forests in our mind created spirits of Nature and yester yore that welcomed us. Understood us. Accepted us as we are. 

Slowly, over the years this magic dissipated and was replaced by a lack of truth and a loss of direction. The compass demagnetized, and we became trapped in our own mind; prisoners of misperception. 

Bitterness became the bile of adulthood and imagination was buried but never lost. 

Gifts are gifts that the Universe never recalls, only re-awakens within us through opportunity it presents throughout our days. Today is such an event that can reintroduce us to the magic of Life. 

All we need do is truly believe.

Hygieia enters Leo & New OOB N' V/C Moon in 21°Cancer59': Authenticity is Needed by the Universe 

Hygieia enters Leo linked below.

OOB N' MOON IN CANCER

New OOB Moon in Cancer perfects in the first House, the natural home of Aries ruled by Mars. This setting indicates identity and life. Its cusp is also the Ascendant, or rising sign; paying attention to our Ascendant during this lunation provides additional insight because it reflects our natural disposition, tendencies, individuality and the way we express ourselves. 

The trinity of Sun, Moon in a Water sign can prove an extremely emotional. If our Ascendant is also in a water sign, it creates a trinity of emotion. 

Full article linked below

ASPECTS (Times/degrees below)

With the Moon OOB N' and a lunar conjunction to Mercury Rx (waning, but within two degrees during perfection), we may have a tendency to emotionally act out, particularly when the Moon enters dramatic Leo this evening. It's wise to guard our words and actions right now, as Mercury influence can be sudden and volatile. 

The Lunar square to Chiron this evening can leave us feeling emotionally vulnerable and perhaps somewhat reticent to fully express ourselves under the dome of these energies. Why not just say, "I'm unsure how to explain how I am feeling," if you are struggling with words. Regardless of the energies associated with any transit or aspect, honesty never returns to haunt us. 

If we say what others want to hear solely to fit in or belong so that we FEEL (water) accepted, we will continually look over our shoulders to see if we've been exposed. The more we try to be something we're not, the more our inner waters will muddy until thick with the sediment of incongruity. 

Our unique perspectives, gifts, and presence are required by the Universe to complete a picture. Without our authentic selves, there's going to always be a piece missing. Our voice is needed to reach all others who relate to the same vein of our individuality. 

This voice is based in experience, which is why it's so important to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

The lunar conjunction to Jupiter perfects late tonight, emphasizing the expansive power of this phase in all aspects: creative or dramatic with the Moon in Leo. Awareness of the influences and lunar aspects are keys to navigating in ways that don't return to haunt us in the future.

Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune Rx in Aries, 24+ Hour Extended Lunar Void-of-Course begins: Shedding outdated beliefs open Corridors of Truth—The Formation of Barbault's Basket Begins.

Extended V/C linked below.

Today's major aspect marks the beginning of a rare formation of aspects referred to as the Barbault Basket. I'll be discussing in full as the aspects to this formation perfect over the next week. 

Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune Rx in Aries late afternoon on the same degree we discussed in Monday's report regarding a trifecta of aspects on the 4th degree. Because you add 01° degree to the Sabian symbol that you are researching (in this case, 04°), we're focusing on Virgo 05°.  

According to Linda Hill*, this symbol represents "A PERSON BECOMING AWARE OF NATURE SPIRITS AND NORMALLY UNSEEN SPIRITUAL ENERGIES [after overcoming limiting beliefs]."

This is a perfect time, with Neptune retrograde in Aries and Uranus in curious and adaptable Gemini fueling Aries' fire, to slow down and develop awareness of our surroundings through radical means (occult, mysticism, etc.) if necessary. 

This aspect validates our innate knowledge of something more to our lives than we have been conditioned to believe. Today can be a day that we stop at nothing to unearth truth and change our trajectory toward a more positive way of being. 

Seeking a likeminded community enhances this desire and builds rapport through expressive and clever avenues of awakening collective consciousness.

Mercury Rx conjunct Europa in Cancer & EXTENDED Lunar V/C: Harnessing the Power of the Bull 

Europa in Cancer

Europa's power is enhanced in Cancer, as this Moon-ruled zodiac sign represents the feminine and nurturing aspect. We may feel like a perpetual student who loves to travel to acquire knowledge just beyond the horizon. It reaches far beyond simple tourism to a transformational desire to expands our experience through knowledge. 

Because Cancer is associated with intuition, the feminine aspect, domestics, and roots, our desire for knowledge leans toward our heritage. By tracing our ancestral roots, we become enamored with genealogy and tradition. 

We could go as far as integrating ancient rituals into our domestic realm, thus linking the past with the present. We could even experience healing through understanding our lineage. 

Mercury is the patron of short-distance travel; therefore, this conjunction will likely expand our desire for a day trip to the library, museum, or historical place to delve into the annals of yesteryear. 

This conjunction perfects in the 11th house, expansion through local or foreign organizations and/or causes peaks. Our hopes, goals, and social networks are all enhanced through connective discovery. 

With the Moon VC until tonight, I don't advise beginning a new project; however, it's a wonderful day to finish up tasks or explore the past. Getting our hands dirty through the roots of our soul can be refreshing.

 Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius, Transcendent Consciousness & Manifestation

Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius provides a profound opportunity to evolve through honest self-analysis. While facing our foibles can often be painful, this transit seems to quell that aspect. Instead, our revelations reveal potential avenues of change benefitting us and the greater collective (transcendental nature). 

A solid analogy for this transit is growing pains sans the pain; a realization that we've outgrown our current way of being so strive for improvement through philosophical concepts. It's a rare window of opportunity and we should take advantage of its power to manifest.
