Today's Astrology Chart and Forecast
The vibrant energy from yesterday meets with more serious thoughts about our plans today. With the Moon now in Virgo, in opposition to Saturn in Pisces, there could be some negative feedback here. Family you respect, or even people in an authoritative role in your life, may question some of your ideas. You may begin to doubt yourself. It doesn’t hurt to think things through, but don’t let this temporary opposition pull you back from making the changes you know are positive, different and life changing. Keep going.
Beyond the early morning doubts, be brave knowing there is a lot of supporting energy right now. If you look at today’s chart, even if you don’t know much about reading an astrology chart, you can see shapes forming.
There is a giant blue triangle in the middle of the chart called a grand trine. A grand trine forms when there are planets in all 3 signs of an element, in close degrees with one another. We have an earth sign trine with Uranus in Taurus, Mercury and Mars in Virgo, and Pluto in Capricorn forming this triangle. The earth trine offers a sense of ease and stability.
An extra blessing to this grand trine is that it is part of a kite formation. If you look to the right of the triangle, you see two blue lines making a smaller triangle on top of the larger one. This shape now looks like a kite, thanks to sextile lines to Neptune from Uranus and Pluto. These outer planets in positive connection bring a fated feeling to our timeline, with the intuitive and spiritual blessings of Neptune at the point.
Now, anytime you look at an astrology chart, notice the blue lines. These are positive aspects called trines and sextiles. They offer us help.
The red lines are the squares and oppositions. These are the challenging aspects that help us grow. Today, we see red lines to Uranus and Jupiter from the Leo Sun and Leo Venus. These squares in red are driving forces for change this week. The combination of these squares in red, with the grand kite formation in blue, is gifting us with blessings to fly forward towards change.
The brown lines on the chart below indicate quincunx energy. If you read my forecast from yesterday, I discuss the Yod formation.
Another blessing today is the shifting of the Lunar Nodes to 26 degrees, giving us 2 degrees of separation from their square to Pluto. This eases some of the blockades we’ve felt in moving forward. A feeling of freedom to go after your plans opens up.
The current retrogrades of Pluto, Venus, Saturn and Neptune forced us to spend time reconsidering things and looking back. Now that we’ve had a closer look at the past, we can move ahead, into this New Moon phase.
This evening, optimism returns. Earth sign Jupiter in Taurus receives a trine from the Moon in Virgo. Remind yourself of your great ideas from yesterday, and forge ahead with planning the details. Jupiter will bring an expansive quality to your thoughts.
Enjoy!
