Wednesday, JUNE 19

Mercury and Mars oppose Pluto today, and we can continue to face obstacles or wrestle with doubts and concerns. We might either feel a compulsive need to talk and question or to withhold information. We could feel compelled to expose a falsehood. We might also feel a lot of pressure to come to a decision, and we can too quickly become embroiled in power struggles. Pushiness tends to meet with stubborn resistance–there may be contests of wills now. We’re likely to deal with issues of power and competition, and there can be a feeling that external circumstances are undermining our own sense of powerfulness. As we deal with these things, we may be able to get in touch with our internal motivations. Outside forces can remind us of our need to take better charge of our lives, but shortcuts to gaining control will not work out for us. These influences can bring a tricky or buried issue to a head. All in all, there can be a lot of frustrated energy that may lead to a greater understanding if we play our cards right.

The Moon is involved in this configuration, aligning with Pluto and opposing Mercury and Mars, and we’re particularly emotionally invested. The Moon continues its transit of Capricorn most of the day–until10:00 PM EDT when it enters Aquarius.

The Moon is void from 7:19 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Mercury), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 10:00 PM EDT.
