Tuesday, MAY 24

The Moon continues its transit of gentle Pisces until 5:40 PM EDT. While the Pisces Moon prefers free flow, a Venus-Saturn sextile this morning encourages a considered, practical approach, particularly in our social lives. It’s a grounding influence that helps stabilize our affections. We place a higher value on security, steadiness, and loyalty. This transit boosts the appeal of the ordinary and reliable–we appreciate longstanding alliances or tried-and-true pleasures. We are more responsible with others and with our own feelings and affections. Our judgment is sound, and we’re a little more conservative with money under this influence. We can enjoy planning and organizing.

The Moon heads into the assertive, straightforward sign of Aries at 5:40 PM, and while this transit only lasts over two days, Mars enters Aries tonight and will stick around until July 5th. Mars feels exceptionally comfortable in Aries, as it rules the sign. Our energy is spontaneous, forward-looking, and even courageous under this influence. Our competitive spirit is well-developed, and our goal is to win! We are active, single-minded, and confident. We instinctively find the fastest way to get from point A to point B.

The shadow side of Mars in Aries is that it can sometimes be impatient, arrogant, impulsive, short-lived, unreflective, and self-centered. Ideally, we tap into the Mars-in-Aries side that’s authentic, trail-blazing, enthusiastic, and straightforward.

The void Moon occurs from 5:34 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Mars), until the Moon enters Aries at 5:40 PM EDT.
