New Moon in Sagittarius

   Welcome to the out-going and optimistic New Moon in Sagittarius. exact today at 10:05am EST. The change from a deeply emotional emphasis during the Scorpio Lunar cycle into fiery and inspirational Sagittarius is a welcome relief for many. Hope is on the horizon as we look ahead to a more positive vision of the future. We can't let the past pull us backwards, especially as it relates to old patterns, bad habits or useless attitudes.

   The most apparent aspect of this chart is a quincunx (150 degrees) from the Sun/Moon alignment at 04 degrees Sag to rebellious Uranus at 03 degrees of the Fixed Earth sign Taurus. We can expect some upsets or sudden changes in disposition with others. Adding an element of accidental possibilities is an opposition of Mars to Uranus, which has been in effect for a few days and is now decreasing, but with so many travelers on the road over the next few days, it would be wise to drive cautiously.

  Uranus does rule over Air travel, so that is the area of travel most likely to be affected. Sudden delays are possible. If things don't go according to plan, try not to react in anger. This aspect will pass by tomorrow, but in the meantime, be aware of your thoughts and how they may affect others, and vice-versa.

   An harmonious alignment of the Moon to healing Chiron in Aries can be the opening for communication with someone far away in heart, body or mind. Could you take a step toward repairing the relationship? Don't go too big with words or gestures in your efforts; simple steps are better and more apt to be well-received.

   Looking ahead to tomorrow and Thursday, Mercury and Venus interact with Neptune, increasing  the possibilities for understanding, caring and forgiveness. Mercury is still in Scorpio lending weight to deeper feelings, while Venus in Capricorn now tends toward practicality and responsibility. Maybe you can take some time out for yourself to make a written or mental list of all you are grateful for in your daily life.

   No matter what your new and improved vision is for the future, I hope as you keep your gaze on the horizon, with your head in the stars, that you remember to keep your feet on the ground!
