Friday, JUNE 14

The First Quarter Moon occurs early today at 1:18 AM EDT. This phase, marked by the Gemini Sun’s square to the Virgo Moon, brings a crisis theme, compelling us to take action. It’s a time when we become aware of how our actions affect those close to us, often through trial and error. This is a crucial period for recent projects or initiatives, as they are beginning to take off and can face their first obstacles.

The Moon is in Virgo until 2:12 PM, urging us to tie up loose ends and deal with routine matters. This Moon transit encourages our attention to the details of our daily lives–we want to bring more order to our world.

The Libra Moon from 2:12 PM forward is relationship-focused, harmonious, and gracious.

The superior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun today can stimulate an epiphany, illumination of a matter, or a clearing of the air. It can give us a nice window of opportunity to see our goals more clearly. We are sharp and communicative, and what we say or write now has a strong impact, for better or worse! An idea or plan can come to full bloom, or ideas and realizations now are pivotal. While it’s a mentally stimulating time, we may want to watch for intellectualizing issues that require sensitivity.

However, a Mars-Saturn semi-square this evening can pose challenges. It’s best to slow down in the face of obstacles, as trying to move too fast can create more resistance. Since circumstances seem to block our efforts to assert ourselves, patience is necessary.

The Moon is void from 1:54 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Neptune), until the Moon enters Libra at 2:12 PM EDT.
