Patience is a cosmic and cardinal virtue. That should be your motto in the early hours today as the Moon in Scorpio continues in its void mode. There is no sense trying to leapfrog over competitors or push your way to the top of the executive totem pole when last night’s lunar conjunction with Saturn is still trying to make all the rules and force human souls to kowtow to numerous restrictions on the material plane.  The breakthrough comes to fruition at 8:40AM when the Moon goes through its monthly alchemy of changing from fixed water (Scorpio) to mutable fire (Sagittarius). In many ways, this is the toughest of all the lunar shifts as Scorpio implies the need for some kind of dying to the old while Sagittarius suggests the need to be reborn and renewed via a generous injection of fiery will and stimulating goal-orientation. Before you know it, fortuitous vibrations are on the upswing as the Moon trines the Sun in fire signs (10:28AM) while — just three minutes before — Venus makes a supportive, 30-degree tie with Chiron (10:25AM and energizing a variety of healing rituals).  Watch out for a rise in communication snafus as the Moon squares Mercury (5:30PM) and keep your distance from foggy conditions in the artistic, photographic and musical realms as the Moon squares Neptune (7:21PM). Even though the Moon in Sagittarius doesn’t sit too well with Mercury and Neptune 90-degrees away in Pisces, there are plenty of games and sports you can enjoy as the lunar orb graces this multi-faceted, eager and enthusiastic sector of the zodiac.
