COMING FORTH INTO THE LIGHT

I was born the day
I thought:
What is?
What was?
And
What if?

I was transformed the day
My ego shattered,
And all the superficial, material
Things that mattered
To me before,
Suddenly ceased
To matter.

I really came into being
The day I no longer cared about
What the world thought of me,
Only on my thoughts for
Changing the world.

Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

There is a welcome opening for mending fences or in some way rebuilding trust within friendships and alliances today. However, we are still looking for some kind of approval or acknowledgment of our efforts and if that is not forthcoming, we are likely to feel continuing uncertainty around our overall sense of direction. Today’s Pisces Moon has us particularly sensitive and especially reliant on intuitive clues, including encouragement and appreciation from those around us. Nonetheless, whether or not we feel as though we are actually measuring up, faith in our overall purpose will serve us well in moving forward even if we don’t get the kind of appreciation that we are hoping for.

The moon enters Pisces in the middle of the night and then sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus, filling the night and starting the day with a burst of optimism and dreamy, spiritual, and creative energy. Jupiter is newly in Capricorn, and we’re exploring and unearthing new potential.

As cosmic lovers Venus and Mars connect in a harmonious morning sextile, there’s a luxurious, lucrative, romantic, and creative vibe in the air. Creative financial and personal relationships are deepening, and we’re exploring their potential. As the Pisces moon connects with Venus and Mars, the energy is flowing and we’re diving deep.

Tonight, the moon reaches its quarter phase, bringing a change in direction. Look back to what was unfolding at the Sagittarius new moon. We’re halfway between the new moon and full moon, and this is a chance to realign with our inner compass and make course corrections if necessary.
