Days following the Full Moon

Days following the Full Moon

Day 15 – 17
The full moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise so you can have a brief period when both sun and full moon are in the sky  together, which creates amazing energy. Use these days to initiate sudden or dramatic change, for a surge of power, the consummation of love, for healing,  for prophecy, for all matters concerning women and also motherhood, for conception and for granting small miracles, for artistic and creative success and all  legal matters.
Day 15 is like day 1 of the new moon, good attunement day with the energies of the moon cycle and good for meditation as welll  as channelling wisdom from the Moon Mother or Gabriel, archangel of the moon.

The Waning (or Decreasing) Moon

The Waning (or Decreasing) Moon

The moon decreases from right to left until, finally, the crescent disappears from the left. about two and a half days later  the crescent reappears on the right. Waning moon magick should not be thought of as dark or negative but rather a process of bidding farewell to what is no  longer wanted or helpful.
Use the Waning Moon for:
Removing pain and sickness
Removing obstacles to success and happiness
Lessening negative influences
Reducing the hold of addictions and compulsions
Banishing negative thoughts, grief, guilty, anxiety and destructive anger
Banishing the envy and malice of others
Ending relationships gently

The Disseminating Moon (the Waning or Decreasing Full Moon)

The Disseminating Moon

(The Waning or Decreasing Full Moon)
Day 18 – 21
The full moon is shrinking and rises now in the mid-evening, setting in the middle of the next morning, being visible for much  of the time.
Use the decreasing full moon for protection of home, self and love ones, for banishing bad habits, phobias and fears, for  ending a long-standing destructive or abusive relationship, for relieving acute pain and fighting viruses and for leaving behind the past that holds us back  from happiness.

The Waning Moon Half Moon or Last Quarter Moon

The Waning Moon Half Moon or Last Quarter Moon

Days 22 – 25
This moon rises about midnight and sets around midday the next day. She is visible for the whole time she is in the sky.
Use for protection while travelling, especially at night, from fears that wake us in the night, from phantoms and nightmares,  for reducing major debts, for concerns about older people, for mending quarrels and for avoiding intrusion of privacy, for peaceful divorce and for relieving  stress.
Day 23 is an important time for healing and day 25 for all women’s petitions and needs.

The Balsamic or Waning Crescent Moon

The Balsamic or Waning Crescent Moon

Days 26 – 28 and day 29 when relevant.
The Balsamic Moon rises before dawn(after the midnight of its day) and sets at mid-afternoon of the following day. She is best  seen in the eastern sky in the dawn and very early morning.
Use the Waning Crescent for quiet sleep if you are an insominiac, for peace of mind if you have been anxious or depressed, for  protection from crime and harm, for the easing of addictions, for saying goodbye fondly and for finding what is lost or has been stolen – also the dark of  the moon for the latter.

The Moon Void of Course

The Moon Void of Course

This is not apparent in the sky, but is a brief time when spells tend to be less effective and, in everyday life, meetings or  projects tend to get stuck and travel plans can go haywire.
The void of course occurs as the moon leasves one astrological sign and travels to another. The moon spends about two and a  half days each month in each zodiac sign. The void of course can last from a few minutes to almost a day.
You can check in any almanac like Old Moore’s or increasingly, horoscope pages in newspapers will alert you to this and the  times. In an almanac it will be marked as v/c or even VOC next to the moon symbol and the time this begins. If you need to do spells at the void of course  time, add extra incense, fresh flowers or herbs to counter the effects.

Dark Moon/Chant to Seal a Spell During this Phase

Dark Moon

Some practitioners use this phase as a period of rest. They find it useful for regeneration, relaxation, and gathering  for the creative phase of the waxing Moon.
Others prefer to use it for meditation, psychic power enhancement, or for delving into past life memories to help them  better understand current difficulties. Dark Moon energy also lends itself to divination and maters where truth is an issue.
To seal spells performed during the dark Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:
I call on You, Oh Crone so wise–
One Who rules the darkest skies.
Come and be my treasured Guest,
And aid me on this magickal quest.

Waxing Moon/Chant to Seal A Spell During this Phase

Waxing Moon

This phase occurs when the Moon grows from dark to full. In this phase, the Moon provides the proper energy for magickal  efforts requiring growth or enhancement. It is a good time for beginnings, fresh starts and new love and is of benefit in building, businesses, friendships,  partnerships, and financial prosperity. The waxing phase also provides suitable conditions for planting herbs, developing psychism, and increasing physical  health and well-being.
To seal spells performed during the waxing Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:
Oh, Maiden Moon, now hear my plea:
Hearken, hearken unto me!
As you grow, my spell enhance–
And power its magick with Your dance.

Waning Moon/Chant to Seal a Spell During this Phase

Waning Moon

The shrinkage of the Moon from full to dark is called the waning phase, and it offers an energy suitable for recession,  peaceful separation or elimination. Use the waning Moon to end undesirable eating patterns, break bad habits or to remove yourself from dysfunctional  partnerships or stressful situations. Its energies favor any magickal effort requiring decrease or removal.
To seal spells performed during the waning Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:
Oh Aging One of grace, now hear:
With your guidance, this spell steer.
Remove all blocks and hesitation,
And take it to its destination.

Full Moon/Chant To Seal A Spell During this Phase

Full Moon

The Moon’s energy is most intense when She reaches abundant fullness. Any magickal effort, especially difficult ones,  can benefit greatly from the potency of this phase. Use the full Moon to amplify magickal intent and to give spellworkings additional power.
To seal spells performed during the full Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:
Abundant Mother, Moon so bright
Hear my plea upon this night.
Your fertile power lend this spell;
Make it potent, strong and well.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, July 1

We’re tempted to get our hopes up today but our expectations may be dashed as beautiful Venus tensely aspects austere Saturn. What begins as an adventurous excursion into the realm of fun and games quickly turns into a more serious encounter. The cavalier Sagittarius Moon encourages us to set aside our responsibilities, but she doesn’t give us permission to forget about them completely. Exercising self-restraint minimizes our disappointments.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re quite optimistic today as the uplifting Sagittarius Moon visits your 9th House of Big Ideas. But it’s tough to keep your visions in perspective when your fantasies loom so large. Although your desires are strong, your sense of urgency is dissipating. There’s no reason to push too hard now, so take time to enjoy your day. Paradoxically, slowing down can help you get what you need even faster.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may have recently been involved in an intense negotiation or even a conflict, yet others probably don’t even realize that you were struggling. You might still be worrying about the final outcome as the situation continues to develop. Instead of keeping your concerns to yourself, bring any lingering fears out into the open and convert your secrets into positive action. Your actions will be more successful if everyone knows what’s going on.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are eager to meet new people and participate in nearly any activity that sounds exciting today. However, it’s too easy to get carried away in the moment by someone else’s idea of a good time. Make your highest aspirations your guiding light and you can figure out what you need to do next. Following your intuition now will lead you along the right path.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Improving your lifestyle by creating a balance between your personal needs and your obligations to others seems difficult now. The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Healthy Living makes it crucial to stick to your workout regimen today. If you haven’t been exercising, this is a perfect time to start a new program. Managing your time wisely will give you the opportunity to take care of yourself and finish your work, too.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your thoughts may be on love today as the Moon in your 5th House of Fun harmonizes with mischievous Mercury and irrepressible Uranus. However, an austere Venus-Saturn connection could put the brakes on any flirting. Consider the consequences before behaving impulsively. If you are playing according to the rules and acting with integrity, then there won’t be any problem following your heart’s desire.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The planetary pressures continue to tug at your heart, while you swim into deeper emotional waters. Although you may feel overwhelmed, you might just satisfy a few of your curiosities about the mysteries of life, love and loss. Even if there’s a lot at stake, remember that you have more to gain than lose. Be courageous; fear is the only thing that can get in the way of your current explorations.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are so sweet and gentle that you can lose yourself in the relationships that give meaning to your life. However, let your partner know what you really are feeling now. Although there’s no reason to go overboard, it’s best to come right out and express your needs today. If you remain silent about what you want, others won’t know what to give you. It may be difficult to get the ball rolling, but it should get easier once the conversation is moving along.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Stay on your toes today, because interactions with personal and professional partners can get quite entangled. Everyone seems to be pushing your buttons now, even if you’re trying to stay cool and collected. Take time to consider your role in creating the situation and what you want from it. Trust yourself, and don’t let anyone talk you into something that goes against your beliefs.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your idealism is magnified as the Moon flies through your sign. You feel energized as you attempt to live your life fully in each moment. You may even be more emotional today, prompting you to demonstrate your feelings through flirtatious behavior or romantic play. Luck is on your side now as long as you use it wisely. But if you rely strictly on your charm to get what you want, you’ll quickly be required to come up with the facts to back up your story.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your inner world is expanding these days, enabling you to become more aware of your feelings. This might be an important evolutionary step forward, helping you to relax the hold that self-imposed rules have on you. An overdose of ambition isn’t healthy now; however, staying in touch with your heart also holds the key to your future. Positive changes are already churning the stagnant waters of your mind.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The social aspects of love can pull you into a whirlwind of activity today with the aspirational Sagittarius Moon traveling through your 11th House of Friends, Hopes and Wishes. Fortunately, you are up for the adventure, as you want the chance to talk to others about your plans. Any thoughts you might have now about a major trip should be taken seriously. Nevertheless, it’s still wise to explore as many possibilities as you can.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You think that you can take it easy today, but the cosmos may have a different plan as you are pulled all over the map by your moods. Others play important roles in your life and it could be their needs, rather than yours, that make your world feel very hectic now. No matter what else is happening, fulfill your obligations, even while further cultivating your dreams

Current Moon Phase for July 1 – Waxing (Gibbous Moon)

Current Moon Phase

Waxing Gibbous Moon: 86% Illum

Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things. This Moon phase is suited for synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required

Your Magickal Spell for Sunday, July 1 – Drawing Down The Moon

Since there is a Full Moon on July 3rd this month, I figured this spell would be perfect. Look for more Full Moon Spells to come in the next couple of days!

Drawing Down The Moon

This ritual is a common one among Witches and Wiccans and should be part of any practitioners repertoire as well. It is a way of drawing  Moon energy into yourself and connecting with the divine. There are as many ways to perform this ritual as there are practitioners. Here is one way:
Go outside during a Full Moon and stand or sit quietly for a few minutes until you feel the Moon energy vibrating all around  you. You might want to place a mirror in front of you to reflect the moonlight, but it isn’t required. Welcome the Goddess into your Spirit and say  something like the following:
Mother Moon both strong and bright
Fill me up with Goddess light.
When you feel full of the Moon’s power, the ritual is complete.

Daily General Horoscopes for June 27th

We seek balance with others now rather than conflict, yet recent experiences may have already upset the applecart. Although we’re at a pivotal point as graceful Venus turns direct today, we need more time to see the practical results that may come from our new perspective. Thankfully, the objective Libra Moon brings awareness to relationships; we can learn the most now by acknowledging that people around us are reflections of our own identities.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Don’t work harder today than is necessary or you could overdo it and exhaust yourself. The gentle Libra Moon means that grace counts more now than brute force, so let your senses be your guide. Flow with the emotional tides, instead of struggling against them. Creativity, rather than productivity, is the business of the day.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The socially astute Libra Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Employment indicates that practicing diplomacy at work is essential now. Unfortunately, you don’t have a lot of patience with anyone who seems impractical today. Ultimately, you must be as flexible as possible, for there are many approaches to accomplishing the same task. Getting along with others might be more important than meeting any quota or deadline.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re juggling a number of contradictory desires today and may find it difficult to settle on any particular one. Although you’re more capable than most when it comes to managing conflicting emotions, your interactions with others can still be confusing if you try to hide your feelings. There is no reason to keep secrets now; everyone will appreciate your honest approach.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may prefer to stay home, especially with the Libra Moon activating your inner-directed 4th House today. But if you cannot justify taking the day off, try to make your environment feel a bit cozier. Wear comfortable clothes, pack your favorite lunch and add some personal touches around your workplace. Increasing the security factor wherever you are now allows you to take risks and move toward your goals with greater success.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have many stories to tell today and are eager to hear what others have to say, too. The Libra Moon is visiting your 3rd House of Communication, increasing the joy you feel when reading an email from a loved one, talking on the phone with a chatty friend or taking a short walk with a new acquaintance. However, the key to your current happiness is sharing the spotlight. Think of your life as a team sport in which everyone wins together now or no one wins at all.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Purchase something that makes you feel attractive now that the lovely Libra Moon is traveling through your 2nd House of Self-Worth. Or spend a little money to improve your image, because showing your best side enables you to feel good too. These actions may seem like superficial indulgences, but when you see yourself in a more flattering light, you’re likely to be more confident on every level.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The social Libra Moon reflects her gracious light on your relationships today, increasing your sensitivity to those you love. The good news is how simple it is for you to put people at ease because you take the time to understand their concerns. But be careful of becoming so sympathetic to everyone else’s emotions that you lose sight of your own needs. Just make sure that you balance your compassion for others with love for yourself.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Issues of trust may be over-dramatized today, especially if you believe that someone is trying to withhold information from you. There are those who have complete faith in you and are willing to share their deepest secrets. But others might talk about you behind your back and there isn’t much you can do about it. Be sure to consider the source of what you learn now and spend your time with those who deserve your confidence.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are usually happy to listen to your friends when they want to share their dreams with you, but too many people may want your attention now, making it difficult to get all of your work done. You could hear lots of ideas and promises today that aren’t grounded in reality. Remember, it’s not your job to shatter anyone’s illusions; instead, you can help others focus on the practical elements worth pursuing. In fact, you can set a good example by finishing your chores first.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s challenging to lead a group of people today because others may not work hard enough to live up to your tough standards. Nevertheless, everyone seems overly sensitive and might require more attention than you are willing to give. Being as diplomatic as possible enables you to navigate your way through these tricky conditions. Thankfully, you can earn positive recognition for your patience if you get it right.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could be in your visionary mode because you have more ideas about the future now than information about the present moment. This is a great time to connect with other big thinkers and to share thoughts about how to create a better world. Your current goals may not be very practical, but they empower you to dream of the magical possibilities that inspire you and everyone else.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Being too concerned about what someone else is thinking can prevent you from saying what’s on your mind today. But don’t be afraid to shake up a cautious companion with the truth about your feelings. Your remarks won’t end a conversation, but might actually be an honest entry point for a deeper and more productive discussion. The first step is always the hardest, but you can’t go wrong if you speak from your heart.

The New Moon Report for June 27 – Venus Direct

Venus Direct

Wednesday, June 27

The love planet’s return to forward motion after six weeks in reverse should get relationships moving ahead again. Spicing up an existing partnership with new attitudes and activities rediscovers lost passion. Singles seeking companions may finally be ready to try out a different look or an unfamiliar social activity that increases chances for making connections.

Current Moon Phase for June 27 – First Quarter (Waxing)

First Quarter Moon

(waxing/90-135 degrees)

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, June 22

We need to express our feelings today yet something is holding us back. The lively Leo Moon encourages us to be bold and to place our thoughts right out on the table for everyone to see. However, the shy Cancer Sun raises fears about being too vulnerable. We may be hesitant to say anything because we don’t want to attract any more attention than is necessary. Ultimately, an electrifying Moon-Uranus trine helps us break through the resistance.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be feeling more confident about who you are and what you are doing with your life now. It’s as if you are awakening from a deep sleep because someone suddenly switched the lights on. Instead of rushing ahead with your latest and greatest plan, continue to sift through your options. Nothing will be gained by overreacting. A brilliant idea today will be even better next week.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Two facets of your personality may clash today without a clear winner. The more you attempt to hold on to what you once thought true, the harder it will be to make the right move. You could waste precious energy if you try to force resolution to a current problem. Luckily, the best solutions will come on their own accord now if you remain open to change.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You could dance circles around everyone else today because you feel as if you’re at the top of your game. Others may think that you’re even more charming than usual, yet it’s crucial not to overplay your hand now. Continue to pursue your goals, but don’t push too hard. Your best allies will show their support if you act with confidence, tempered with a bit of humility.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Opening your heart too quickly could make you a bit uncomfortable. As sensitive as you are, try not to get caught up in someone else’s reaction to your emotional disclosure. What others think is less important today than what you feel. You’re better off in the long run if you share your feelings now, whether or not your vulnerability is received with much enthusiasm.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Examine your own feelings today in order to discover how you can show someone exactly what you need. But, you could find yourself on dangerous ground if you’re motivated by a strictly selfish point of view. The Moon’s presence in your dramatic sign illuminates your inner process with a spotlight so bright that you might not even notice if someone is already offering you what you want. Shifting the focus and listening to others ultimately allows you to be more receptive to the rewards you seek.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Something that’s left unsaid today grabs your attention, as if the unspoken words have more power because they are kept secret. Your current fear of the unknown can create a simple misunderstanding, especially if you make a false assumption. You don’t have to fast-talk your way through an awkward moment; it’s OK to leave a mystery unexplored for now and just move on.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re looking for an enjoyable escape from work today and, thankfully, your friends come riding to your rescue. Although you are prepared to meet your obligations, you long for a more meaningful chance to share what’s on your mind. If you don’t have something already on your social calendar, get on the phone and make it happen. This can be a fulfilling day, but might not amount to much unless you are willing to co-create it.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might share more of your emotional needs than you intend today due to an unexpected intense interaction at work or a heated discussion at home. However, you want to present yourself in a more professional way now that the expressive Leo Moon is occupying your 10th House of Public Status. You are wise to remember that your job needs to come first at this time. Although it’s fully acceptable to bring your feelings into a discussion, you don’t have to reveal everything going on in your heart. Talking things out in a rational manner demonstrates your strength of character.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be excited about what’s happening in a personal or business relationship, but it’s crucial that you don’t ignore important information now just so you can continue enjoying yourself. It’s not that you are leaning toward denial; it’s just that the data you have may not be as clear as you would prefer. If you find yourself drifting off into dreamland today, consciously bring yourself back to ground level and get to work.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are driven to work harder these days since you believe that you must make a significant commitment to your career, especially if you are to reach your goals. However, your fear of failure may be the symptom of a deeper issue. Critical self-judgment could stem from your uneasiness with your own ambitions. Be more appreciative of what you have already accomplished instead of worrying about what you’re going to do next.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A partnership creates stress that may bubble to the surface now, even if you didn’t notice the tension as it was building. Although things might be going along well, a difficult interaction today makes you feel unsure of your role in the relationship. Stick to the facts; if you drift off into philosophical realms of conjecture you’re sure to lose focus. Instead of trying to explain the past, concentrate your thoughts on the present moment.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might need to spend extra time doing things for others now without receiving the recognition you deserve. This lack of acknowledgment is likely to bring up old familiar issues. You don’t necessarily want the spotlight shining directly on you, but you still may be resentful if someone else receives the applause. Don’t be shy; let those responsible know if your feelings have been hurt. The atmosphere will lighten once you clear the air.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for June 22 – 24

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope

by Jeff Jawer

No Holds Barred

June 22 – 24

This is a playful weekend when cutting loose and expressing yourself without inhibition can be a lot of fun. The good times start with the Moon shining in outgoing Leo, a dramatic sign that’s all about taking chances. Showing off shouldn’t be frowned upon because everyone deserves his or her moment in the spotlight. Going too far may occasionally be embarrassing, but heart connections come from releasing inhibitions and letting it all hang out.

The sign Leo is associated with the Sun, which aligns favorably with imaginative Neptune on Saturday. Romantic experiences that have no purpose other than mutual pleasure somehow make sense now. Set aside as many tasks as possible so that reality is left behind in the pursuit of a good time.

 
Sunday’s mood is a different story once the Moon shifts into analytical Virgo. The morning, though, may still be filled with hope and visions of brighter days ahead, yet a more sensitive tone is evident in the late afternoon and evening. The Moon’s stressful square with amorous Venus exposes vulnerabilities and feelings of uncertainty. A simple comment could be interpreted as a major criticism when that wasn’t the intention. Being kinder in what we say and gentler in our approach can reduce the likelihood of hurt feelings or wounded hearts.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for June 22

Easy does it! A supportive, 60-degree rapport from the Moon in Leo to Jupiter in Gemini (1:20AM PDT) can give you the false feeling that euphoria and the power of positive thinking will take you far. However, challenging vibes affect primary partnerships when Vesta in Taurus forms a dicey opposition with Juno in Scorpio (3:20AM PDT). When two asteroid goddesses battle one another on either side of the Earth, tensions are definitely going to rise in important relationships. Be extra sensitive and attentive to a dear one’s needs and viewpoints. Strive to be a good listener rather than usurp the conversation.  The Moon forming a supportive, 60-degree tie with Venus (11:51AM PDT) followed by a problem-solving enhancement involving a similar aspect between Venus and Pallas (2:53PM PDT) would seem to give you a wonderful boost with no hassles at all. Nevertheless, before you know it, the red planet chimes in provocatively by making a contra-parallel with Chiron (4:54PM PDT) and parallel with Uranus (5:30PM PDT).  These two Mars-related parallels are nothing to sneer at as they can ratchet up the intensity meter to an enormous degree. Pressing the anger button – deliberately or by mistake – won’t solve any difficulties. Keep your distance from temperamental individuals or anyone who has a chip on their shoulder. Be aware that this is only the opening salvo of a cosmic barrage that includes the entire weekend when Chiron is contra-parallel Uranus (tomorrow) and Uranus squares Pluto (Sunday).
