Dietrech Pessin with the astrology report. We had one powerful, great, big New Moon yesterday morning, Friday morning. It was coupled with eight planets in the sign of Aries. So, if you have been waiting for a signal to get up and go and get your act together and move forward or try and find what your act is… Whatever you have, whatever your desire is… Aries is the sign of pure desire. It does not necessarily bring you great follow through or finish. Aries is famous for not finishing things. However, with Saturn in the sign of Aries now, along with Neptune. and everybody else (Mars and Mercury and the Sun and the Moon with Saturn in there) you do get a chance to bring some structure into what your great ideas are.

So here we are, today, 11… what time? Here we go. We have not an Aries Moon today. We have a Taurus Moon that started yesterday. That Taurus Moon is kind of like a Green Light, but kind of the Green Light that looks like pea soup to me. That is because Uranus is at the end of the sign, so it is calling the shots. It does not necessarily mean that it is going to be what you design, because Uranus is the planet of unexpected. You could find yourself at a loss during this Taurus Moon. Taurus is about money in a big way, and tradition. And, gatherings, keeping people close, and keeping those close things private.

For today, during the Taurus Moon, we have Mercury in an aspect to Pluto. So, this is accessing the thinking process with the power planet Pluto. Pluto is in Aquarius. Mercury is in Aries. So, there is, like, big ideas and a big plan.

Mercury in Aries is very quick with its speech. It does not sugarcoat. It just says exactly what is on its mind. So, if it is making contact with Pluto. It could be things that are darker than what you normally would say or think. It also looks as if there is young people that join with a large group, whatever that looks like.

That Taurus Moon continues right through Sunday. We have Mercury again in aspect with Neptune. Then Mercury has two aspects with Neptune on Sunday. So, it is really making a point with Neptune. Neptune is the planet of… can be spiritual, but it can also be filled with illusions and confusion. Mercury may be wanting to clear this up, making the storyline more clear. It will make contact with Saturn, where it can create boundaries and borders to what it is that you are trying to do and how you are reaching out. But reaching out with Mercury, Neptune could go beyond your normal expectation.

There is also at the end of the sign, that is on Sunday, when the Moon is at the end of Taurus, it will conjunct Uranus. That is at 11:44 AM. So that can be a flip flop. Change plans, things turn around. So do not go out without your umbrella. You do not know what to expect there with that, because Uranus is the planet of unexpected.

Still on the 19th we have a Moon sign change. That would be at 12:17 PM, when the Moon goes into Gemini. That is on Sunday.

The Sun is changing signs as well. The Sun will go into the sign of Taurus, leaving Aries, that hot sign of Aries. And go into the cool sign of Taurus, where you are going to focus on your garden and things that are very close to home, family, tradition, money, anything that is caring and close.

The Gemini Moon will welcome that Sun in Taurus. Gemini is talkative. It is curious. It is not the best sign for taking action for your business, actually, because you are usually misinformed. There is a scatter brain thing that goes with Gemini. Even when it lines up with Saturn on Monday, early in the morning, you may be forgetful or try to get things in order, but still have problems getting your ducks in a row.

Mercury lines up with Mars as well. That is at 5:44 PM. That is Foot in Mouth problem is what I see that as. You want to be very careful about how you phrase things, how you how you address people. You want to be able to use good sense, and just bite your tongue more often than not, until the Moon changes signs on Tuesday afternoon. That would be at right at 1:00 the Moon will go in to the sign of Cancer.

But let me note that there is a void of course Moon sign, and that would be… I would say the Moon is void of course, as early as. Oh, goes way back. It could be at 4:43 PM, on the 20th and then void of course all day. But I would want to put my thought out about that. because Uranus is at the very tiny last bit of Taurus, the sign that it is in. The Moon will connect with Uranus before leaving the sign of Gemini. Even though that is a minor aspect, it is a semi sextile. 30° (degrees), [it] is not considered a definition for a void of course Moon. I am going to count it because Uranus is extremely powerful. That would be at 12:36 PM Tuesday. I am going to use that as a void of course Moon period until 1:00 PM, also on Tuesday.

Then we have the Moon in Cancer. Once again, Uranus is going to be the last planet that the Moon will kiss during the Cancer Moon. There is a nice sextile between the Sun and the Moon, and that is going to be at 3:50 PM. I like this. A very harmonious type of aspect between the Sun and the Moon. With the Sun in Taurus, the Moon and Cancer get along with people. You know what to say. You know how to say it.

There is a bit of a bump with Moon quincunx Pluto. That is going to be at night, 10:02 PM. So that is kind of a hiccup. you want to lay low.

Also, on Wednesday, we still have a Cancer Moon sign. The Moon is going to bump the planets that are in Aries. It will square, making difficult challenges to Saturn early Wednesday, early in the morning. Then square Mars, then square Mercury. All of these squares are causing a little bit of disruption and some confusion. On the east coast here, they take place in the middle of the night. So, you may sleep through it, but find out when you wake up that chaos has been taking place while you were sleeping. On the central and the West Coast, you may not experience these much at all.

So, then what we have during that Cancer Moon sign on the 22nd the Moon is conjunct Jupiter. This is nice and uplifting, 6:52 PM. This is always a nice aspect to have with the Moon and Jupiter, expanding your emotional body in a positive way.

Thursday, the Moon is still in Cancer. It will make a very nice aspect, sextile bringing an opportunity for some financial gain. Or some harmonious interaction with family members on Thursday, around 3:00 in the afternoon. Then the Moon will make the same aspect of sextile to Uranus at 3:28 PM.

So, Venus and Uranus are hanging out. When they do come up, there is going to be a Moon sign change on Thursday at 3:40 PM when the Moon goes into Leo. Then we are headed for Venus conjunct Uranus at 29° of Taurus. This is something to cry about. That is what that degree signifies. 29 Taurus is famous for something to cry about. So, watch out for your purse. Do not spend any money that you have not planned out for in a in a good way. Be careful about how you treat others. It is a difficult aspect to mind.

There is a Quarter Moon right after that. at 10:31 PM there is a First Quarter Moon in Leo. You may be actively involved in initiating something that you would like to show off or share in an open forum. Some of this you can keep. If it is a onetime thing, it is good. If you are planning to take it into the future, it may not hold because of the fact that Venus will change signs. That means everything gets dropped just before that. That would make whatever your plans were with that Quarter Moon very fragile.

Friday that Gemini, this Venus in Gemini under the Leo Moon is planning to wait for Uranus as it follows. It will come into the sign of Gemini as well. We will have both Venus and Uranus in Gemini. This is going to upset the apple cart and bring friendship into folks at focus. It should be very interesting to see how things play out.

There is a Mercury in Uranus aspect as well on Friday. Mercury will parallel Mars. So, this one gets you going. Maybe you are buying a new car, something like that. Be very cautious about how you are planning to pay for the car or if you are buying a new TV or something that you want to show off. Maybe it is new flowers or bushes for your yard. Anyway, that is it for the week.
