The Moon is void of course in Cancer today but will enter Leo later this afternoon. In the meantime let’s look at the pileup of planets around the south node in Aries, all of which are squaring Pluto in Capricorn and trining Jupiter in Leo, who is also currently receiving an opposition from Mercury in Aquarius. Did you get all of that?!

What to watch for:

* An impulse from the past threatens to derail your progress
* An individual standing alone/against the group
* A challenge to the ego, a challenging ego, egos challenging egos
* A meddlesome personality
* A big announcement, a jeer from the audience
* Circulatory and heart problems, strange nervous symptoms 
* The outsider communicates his point of view is shunned for it
* Standing up to bullies
* A bully seeing herself in the mirror
* Self centered communication
* The subject of censorship or what should and shouldn’t be spoken or shared
* The desire to break new ground at all costs
* Something from the past says, “It’s not time for me to leave just yet”
* Understanding someone’s background/history more deeply
* The sacrifice of greatness..shortened years for heightened success…
* Carefully criticizing someone in power
* Sudden success or near miss victories or escapes
* An artist reveals a brand new and possibly controversial style or medium
* A challenge to a traditional way of viewing or seeing something
* The call to be more considerate/aware of others

* An argument breaks above the noise of a busy restaurant 
* A man distributes a pamphlet he wrote himself

Prayer: may our pride be more than just a statement of opposition or proud invention…may it be a generous color unto itself
