The Moon moves out of Aries and into Taurus. The 'crazy space' Void of Course Moon will begin at 9:13 PM EST at 27 degrees Aries (last night), the Moon enters Taurus at 3:11 AM EST and the 'crazy space' ends at 9:10 AM EST at 03 degrees Taurus.

The Moon in Taurus trine Mercury in Capricorn at 5:20 AM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The Moon in Taurus square Saturn in Aquarius at 11:36 PM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Today is a Light day on aspects, but a cram-packed day of knowledge. Think of all of the awarenesses you have picked up over the past several weeks.

Note that we begin the day with the Void of Course Moon, as the Moon changes signs from Aries into Taurus. As noted above, you can see that the Moon entered the 'crazy space' at 27 degrees last night at 9:13 PM EST, the Moon changes signs into Taurus at 3:11 AM EST and then it will finally settle down and feel comfy in its new digs when it reaches 03 degrees in Taurus at 9:10 AM EST this morning. Until then, it's like changing residences and moving from one house to another. It can be chaotic, impatient and too much change in a short period of time. Most of us will be asleep during most of this time, so yay!

This is why it is SO IMPORTANT to recognize that not only are you doing your best (maybe not) to adjust to the changing Moon, but so is everyone else (or not). There are those who who do not know about this changing energy or who are not in-tune with their own energy in relation to this changing energy. They are moving about on their feet, in cars and on public transportation acting and reacting to the Moon's changes. And remember, the Moon rules our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities.

Having said that, since you know about this energy, then the burden of carrying the knowledge and using it wisely is on you, NOT THEM! Heck, don't get mad at them because they don't know the Moon is moving out of Aries into Taurus making for some crazy moments. It's a Good thing most of us have been asleep during this Void of Course Moon. But in Astrology, the basic rule is if you know, then you are responsible for the knowledge, not them. So teach them. With knowledge comes responsibility. Just sayin'.

You can teach people (even those you do not know) by simply adjusting your energy, behavior or response, and then they have to change in response to your change. It's a manipulative little maneuver, but it works. If you do not respond dramatically to their dramatic way, then they have to dial down. I use the word 'manipulation' here in a Good and Loving way, not in a way where you are being passive-aggressive just to piss someone off.

For instance, I was at the check-out the other day and a new cashier was being trained. She was a bit flustered as her trainer was looking over her shoulder. I stopped her by calling the name on her tag. I said, "Deb, it's your lucky day! I have plenty of time so take your time while I check a message on my phone." So I took myself out of the judgmental space she might have thought I was in, and busied myself so she could have a comfortable space to learn. I knew where the emotional (Moon) energy was that day, she might not have, which means the responsibility was on me to dial down the energy. With knowledge comes responsibility and there is responsibility in knowing Astrology.

So here we are, starting the day with the Moon (emotions) trine Mercury (the mind), which makes it easy to communicate our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities. Even more, the Moon is grounded in Taurus and Mercury is solid and practical in Capricorn. Taurus and Capricorn hold steady, and are not pushovers, as they are both earth signs. This aspect has common sense with a careful and reasoning mind. This will help you catch-on to your surroundings right away. Emotional anxieties are low today, which means very little drama or fanfare.

This placement will not dwell on the negative, instead it will focus on the positive and move toward it. This aspect has a tendency to help others turn their negative mind into a positive one.

Notice that the second and last aspect today is the Moon (emotions) squaring Saturn (authority figure). The Moon rules the mother (estrogen) and Saturn rules the father (testosterone). It could easily be anticipated that male and female energies will not get along tonight. So here we go . . . YOU know about this energy because you are reading it, so the onus is on you, meaning it is your duty and responsibility to handle the challenging energy.

EXAMPLE -- My Scorpion King could not care less about Astrology. It does not matter to him, in any form. No matter what is happening on the planet, Astrology will not enter his mind. I also do not place it on his shoulders, nor do I feed it to him. I NEVER pressure anyone to embrace Astrology. EVER! I also do not talk to people about Astrology who are not interested. Do you know why? BECAUSE THEY AREN'T INTERESTED!

So since I know as the clock ticks closer to 11:36 PM EST and the exactness of the Moon squares Saturn, which can make a person feel unLoved, neglected, abandoned and melancholy, then it is my responsibility to make certain we do not fall into the depressing hole of this aspect. This aspect can make a person feel alone and left out. It can make a person feel like no one Loves them, neither friends or family.

My advice to you is, DO NOT PLAY INTO THIS ENERGY. This aspect can bring you down, you both down, or whoever you are around. Let's say you receive a phone call from a friend who is in a hole, then you would know to listen and lend a sympathetic ear. You don't need to preach about the aspect, dial into your intuition because you know this aspect is present and you have clarity in the moment.

Now that's how you use Astrology folks. Dig out your Natal Chart or Solar Return and blow the dust off of them and study yourself. There is so much power within you designed to do Good. All too often we study someone else and try to figure them out. How about you figure out you and then you can use what you know to assist others.

Use Astrology wisely. You can manipulate the energy to assist others without resulting to manipulation to control others. BIG DIFFERENCE. Remember, God gave us 'Free Will' so He is all about you having 'Free Will' and those you know having 'Free Will'. Therefore, God is all about Freedom. The end result of every single thing you think and do should bring you closer to God, at your own 'Free Will'. Every. Single. Time. You do not even have to choose Him, but please do. That's your check and balance.
