The Moon moves into Sagittarius today on one of the quietest astrological days that I have seen since I started doing these daily posts. The energy now will be expansive, optimistic, candid and fun and there will be a need to learn and to explore. The Moon in Sagittarius bounds along wherever it pleases, and it hates to be confined or help back. There is a requirement for freedom today, and this energy is virtually pure as the Moon amazingly does not make on major aspect with any planet at all during the whole day, save a small 30 degree semi-sextile to Mars early on in the day, which for the record may provide a little emotional irritability, but no more than that over a brief hour or two.
The one major planetary aspect of the day sees the Sun also in Sagittarius making a fire trine to Uranus in Aries. Going along with the Moon's vibrant energy, there will be a very independent vibe that comes flowing through. We will not want to follow the rules, tow the line and follow others. No, this is a day for those who are unique, special, rebellious, cynical, scientific, inventive, zany, inclusive and stubborn with it to do their own thing. If we have made our mind up on something we will not change our minds. We'll question the validity of anything, listen to the argument, but then explain why we won't follow advice, because we've already made our minds up, and we're sticking with what we know. If you know an Aquarian, that's exactly how they are, and it's how we MAY want to act, but there is one other connection today that may supersede even this trine.
This involves Mercury moving retrograde going back over a star that Venus visited two days ago, Ras Algethi in the constellation of Hercules. If you want a greater explanation of that star, go back to my appraisal of the planetary energies on 14th December. As I explained then, this is a star of bowing to a greater power or cause. Now this connection gives us a big dilemma. Do we follow our convictions and go ahead with what we know and believe in, and follow our own specific agenda, or do we compromise over a previous decision or agreement that was made in the past? We may return to an argument that we have used in the past to back our convictions, we may have trouble with a technical device because of a wider bigger problem or outage, or we may reluctantly agree to a course of action only because there is a bigger and more pressing concern beyond our individual decision. Again there may be a situation connected to the environment that comes alive just because someone goes back on a commitment that was previously set in stone.
