Lunar position – Capricorn until Aquarius at 6:04 AM PDT; VOC from 12:05 AM PDT to 6:03 AM PDT – Now that the Moon is in Aquarius you may feel more comfortable with intellectual pursuits than experiencing the emotions of others. In fact, you may come across as aloof although you are able to express yourself well. If you experience moodiness today, make sure you avoid any drama with others. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Aries provides the strongest sign strength today signaling motivation, independence, courage, decisiveness, assertive/impulsive, lacking tact. Aquarius is next in sign strength suggesting an innovative or humanitarian approach.

- Sun/Vulcan/Chiron – involves the courage to heal childhood woundings and instead using those experiences to offer compassion to others in pain or difficulty.
- Venus/Chiron/Ceres – describes plenty of love and compassion for others but also a fear of expressing any of it or feeling vulnerable within relationships
- Sun/Venus/Eris – signals an independent, driven nature as well as a need for beauty, comfort, and ethics that impacts your relationships with others (Seltzer)

- Venus (12th/Aries) sextile Mars (2nd/Gemini) – signals a balance between compassion and self-assertion
- Venus (12th/Aries) conjunct Ceres (12th/Aries) – describes extraordinary compassion for others and the desire to nurture and protect.
- Jupiter (11th/Aquarius) sextile Juno (8th/Sagittarius) – indicates the optimistic effect of Jupiter within partnerships
- Jupiter (11th/Aquarius) sextile Eris (12th/Aries) – suggests an optimistic and accepting attitude for others, possibly to an extreme. A balanced perspective will be required (Seltzer)
- Saturn (10th/Aquarius) square Uranus (12th/Taurus) – describes issues with authority and compromise furthered on by inadequacy.
- Uranus (12th/Taurus) trine Vesta (5th/Virgo) – suggests balancing a spiritual concern for the greater good and a motivation to help others with taking care of oneself as well

Black Moon Lilith ~ 1st House/Taurus — You may resist change while in Taurus and it may be difficult to move out of your comfort zone. In the 1st House of self, identity, and physical appearance, Lilith’s darker side may impact relationships with others, perhaps resulting in a more solitary existence.

- A trine between The Sun and the South Node (also sextile the North Node) indicates the need to define who are in terms of your contribution to the collective.
- A trine between the North Node and Saturn suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas, specifically those involving communication (Mercury square The N Node/S Node).
- A trine between Ceres and the South Node/sextile The North Node suggests that a spiritual perspective may be helpful as will learning from the women in your life.

Air, and Water are less of an influence.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Cardinal sign qualities are strongest today suggesting motivation is strong to initiate new experiences, projects, or interactions. Fixed sign modes are next in strength signaling stability is also favored.
Rays ~ The Rays continue today with the 1st and 7th Rays again providing the strongest collective influence. The 3rd Ray of active intelligence, along with both the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict and the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science, are impacting the expression of truth today indicating that there will be plenty of will and power (1st) to manifest (7th) a collective understanding or agreement. This is likely due to the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom’s ability to contain the 6th Ray’s expression of devotion and idealism today.
