The Moon in Capricorn trine Uranus in Taurus at 6:35 PM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Today is Light and easy as the only aspect present is the Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus. Even though it's a Light and easy day on aspects, you know that I can have plenty to say about anything, which means I have plenty to teach you about your chart.

The Moon trine Uranus really wants to express itself in unconventional and non-traditional ways. This aspect acts and feels different than the usual ol' way.

This aspect is looking for excitement, change, and craves a little crazy and oddball happenings. "Change is Good, change is often" should be this aspects rallying cry.

This aspect carries some super-quick learning as it is mentally alert, absorbs information easily and seeks a future without holding on to too much of the past. Even though Capricorn is 'traditional', this aspect is not, as it is definitely not old-fashioned or tied to tradition. New ways are being introduced.

Variety is definitely in the air when this aspect shows up on the scene. You may find yourself in a group atmosphere, in a crowd, or in a culturally diverse scenario.

There is some rebellion, nonconformity and unrest occurring as well, but is not necessarily warlike, abusive or so radical that there is a riot.

This aspect wants to prove a point more than anything as Uranus is also very intellectual. This aspect would rather prove a point than cover no ground and accomplish nothing. The Moon trine Uranus will debate and hold its own with people who have strong opinions because the facts will be throw onto the table.

Also, this aspect will not hesitate to challenge someone who manages or assumes power in an irresponsible, thoughtless and reckless manner. They will be called out . . outloud, in public, and in front of everyone they bossed around.

This aspect can also be whacky, fun, a bit crazy in an unusual and strange way. This energy has a colorful expression that is original, unique and spontaneously imaginative.

Now here comes the deeper and more expanded part of this write-up.

As a gentle reminder, the Moon rules our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities, no matter what sign it is in or what planet the Moon is aspecting (has an angle to).

The Moon rules how we 'feel'. Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, the Moon is the natural ruler of Cancer, which carries the motto, "I feel therefore I am." And therein lies the reason why the Moon rules our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities.

Note that the Moon is in Capricorn today (oh yay my natal Moon), which means that the Moon is in its detriment. I actually LOVE my Capricorn Moon and thank God all the time that this is my Moon, as I can't stand drama, fearful anticipation and over-emotional reactions. That's a Life without preparation.

A planet is 'dignified' when it is in its 'Home' placement.

A planet is in its 'detriment' when it is in the opposite sign of its 'Home' placement.

You can find the page on Dignity and Debility here or under the Glossary of Terms here.

When a planet is 'dignified' it freely, naturally and powerfully expresses its energy the most; and, if it is a personal planet, as is the Moon, the dignified planet will be a dominant force in the whole chart.

When a planet is in its 'detriment', its power is blocked or hindered, and has difficulty fully expressing itself in a positive or optimistic way. A detriment planet is uncongenial to its nature. Oh lucky me with a natal Capricorn Moon. What's an astrologer to do? Well God always gives us a way of escape, right? There is always an escape hatch with an escape route.

God gave me plenty of things to make up for this bowling ball rolled into my path. Not only did he give me a Capricorn Moon, he gave me the Sun trine Jupiter, which is about as optimistic as you can get, further my Jupiter is in Aquarius, which takes that optimism into the ethers and outer space and spreads the energy even further. I have enough optimism for everyone and your family too.

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
~1 Corinthians 10:13

So you see, it does not matter what detrimental planets you have, or what hard aspects you have natally, God always gives us a way of escape and you must look for the escape hatch. A detriment can be too much (overkill) above what is necessary.

The detriments are - the Sun in Aquarius, the Moon in Capricorn, Mercury in Sagittarius or Pisces, Venus in Aries or Scorpio, Mars in Libra or Taurus, Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Cancer, Uranus in Leo, Neptune in Virgo, and Pluto in Taurus.

The 'Home' placements are - the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Cancer, Mercury in Gemini and Virgo, Venus in Libra and Taurus, Mars in Aries and Scorpio, Jupiter in Sagittarius, Saturn in Capricorn, Uranus in Aquarius, Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Scorpio.

So here we are - the Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus, so at least the Moon in Capricorn is experiencing a trine today. Yay for us! And yay for me since I have the Moon in Capricorn natally.
