CHECK IT OUT! Look at the teal-colored-drop-down-menu and you will see that the MONTHLY HOROSCOPES are back. The YEARLY HOROSCOPES are also updated.

Today we experience two (2) lunar aspects, just like yesterday, only today the two (2) lunar aspects are more challenging.

Yesterday we experienced the Moon in Taurus with a sextile to Jupiter and Venus, but today the aspects are a conjunction to Uranus and a square to Saturn. Well, son-of-a-biscuit-eater!

Let's first remember that a conjunction is when two (2) or more planets are sitting right next to each other. Imagine sitting at one end of a 7 foot long couch. That's pretty much a standard couch length. You are sitting there all alone and someone else comes and sits on the couch at the complete opposite end. You are on the same couch just at the most furthest end from each other, BUT you are still on the same couch.

Conjunctions are like that. It's when two (2) or more planets are in the same sign, but they HAVE TO BE within 10 degrees of each other. If they are 11 degrees apart, then they are NOT on the same couch. Got it?

So now imagine every hour that passes, the person on the other end of the couch scoots closer toward you. That's what it is like when the two (2) planets involved get a degree closer. Next thing ya' know, that other person is right next to you. Gosh, if they were any closer they would be on top of you. That would be an exact conjunction. When the two (2) planets involved are in the same sign same degree.

This is not such a bad thing if the two (2) energies get along. Right? If not, then we have a problem. Then it's like, "GET OFF OF ME!" and a fight ensues.

Now depending on the personality of the planets involved, that will determine their expression. So the Moon rules the emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities, and the Uranus rules lightning, quick changing conditions, unexpected circumstances and unusual or odd behavior that is not predictable. The only thing you 'can' predict about Uranus is that it will change.

So now picture the Moon and Uranus coming together and then at 3:39 AM EDT this morning, they were right on top of each other 'conjunct'. Each minute and each hour that ticks by, they begin scooting further apart, which we would call 'separating degrees'. 'Applying degrees' (approaching) is when they are coming closer together.

In your Natal Charts and Solar Returns, I did indicate when the aspects in your chart are either applying or separating and I indicated the degrees to show you how close they are to each other. The closer the number to 00 degrees, the closer the aspect and the more it is felt or experienced.

Since the conjunction occurred at 3:39 AM EDT this morning, that means you probably felt the turn of emotional events occurring before you went to bed last night. It was a nice day until the evening waned. But you wake-up this morning feeling a little better, not fully, but you feel a little better because the Moon and Uranus are still scooting away from each other.

No sooner were the Moon and Uranus conjunct messing with each other's mood, Saturn was over on the other couch, poking the Moon and Uranus with a stick. Saturn could just be testing you to see if you can handle this crazy energy. Maybe Saturn just wants to make sure you can focus on your own Life, while being harassed, poked or prodded by someone else.

That's what Life is like on the yoga mat. While standing in the chaos of a challenging pose, maybe standing on your left foot while grasping your right big toe with your right peace sign fingers (index and ring finger). You have to focus on something (drishti) because chaos (Uranus) is coming at you trying to blow you over. But you maintain your focused gaze (drishti) and will not falter, be afraid or bothered by drama. Ya' get me?

Let's also consider that Saturn represents - the father, the dad, the authoritarian, the government, military, the boss or anyone who is in a position of authority around you or over you. Hmmmmm, this is the type of energy poking you with a stick while holding your drishti (focused gaze). The Moon square Saturn is very melancholy and can make you feel unLoved, unappreciated and alone. It feels like, "No one Loves me, they just want something from me." The Moon square Saturn has an 'inferiority complex'. It can feel like everytime you feel start to get a little happiness of your own, something happens to make sure you will not be happy. It can feel like a dark cloud and the best thing to counter this energy is to work. That's where you will succeed out of this energy.

So we have some emotional chaos with a test from the sideline to see if you can handle it. Can you? While someone else is losing their sh--, can you hold on to your big toe and look straight ahead, focused on your own Life? Or is it you losing your sh--? That's what today is like. Enjoy 'the focus'.
