 The Moon remains in practical, ambitious Capricorn all day, giving us a solid start for the week. In the am EDT there are several subtle aspects between the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Neptune, that most likely have us feeling a little irritated. See if you can be aware of these triggers, open up your mind and your heart to let these irritations move through you.
For the past few weeks all the planets that moved into Scorpio have been working to trigger our history. A challenging Venus/Neptune aspect in the early evening EDT is an invitation to grow into a higher vision. This will ultimately help us disengage those old triggers by being rooted in our heart-center. The key here is to implement healthy detachment. If you stay connected to your heart and consciously allow any feelings to move through you, that's healthy detachment. If you escape through drinking, taking drugs or otherwise numbing yourself when you get triggered, that's unhealthy detachment.
This aspect may very well stimulate our imagination which can be a good thing considering that it's Halloween tonight. One thing to watch out for with this aspect: we tend to see what we want to see, rather than what actually is, and we have the tendency to romanticize and idealize. So when it comes to relationships and finances today, be aware of this and possibly wait a couple of days before making up your mind about something or someone.
Mercury is moving in close proximity to Venus, and will also form an aspect to Neptune, exact early am EDT tomorrow, Tuesday. There might be confusion or misunderstandings in our communications later today and tomorrow as well. Neptune is a water-energy, which means it is connected to our emotional body; therefore it is important to allow the flow of feelings to move fully through our system without resisting the process. Again here, awareness and conscious detachment is key. How can you practice being detached without being numb or escaping reality? Could you allow all feelings, without denying them, suppressing them or escaping from them? Could you create some space for all of it to flow?
Today is a great opportunity to welcome the good, the bad and the ugly. With or without costume ;-) Happy Halloween! Blessings, Sonja

Today starts with a 3-hour Moon void of course, ending at 12:39pm EDT, when the Moon enters goal-oriented, practical Capricorn. Take it easy in the am EDT, because the afternoon will most likely be all about your career goals or other practical accomplishments. As best as you can, focus on what's important to you and take deliberate actions without trying to control the outcome.
A Moon/Chiron aspect in the early afternoon EDT gives us the opportunity to seek emotional healing. What would it take to feel your feelings and give yourself love and compassion in the process?
A challenging Moon/Uranus aspect asks of us to stretch ourselves and find new ways to break free from mundane experiences. We most likely feel quite restless and rebellious today. How can you make progress without rejecting what others say to you? Take a deep breath and plant your feet on the ground. As best as you can, could you be open for change to occur, without needing to lash out?
A supportive Moon/Jupiter aspect in the evening EDT helps us see the bigger picture and we will most likely feel more grounded and less fickle at this time. The Moon will also align with Pluto at this time, which makes for a powerful evening. Allow yourself to dive deep into your feelings and let any intense feelings come up and move through you. Later tonight you will have the opportunity to share your feelings and needs with others.
Many blessings, Sonja

 The Moon remains in optimistic Sagittarius for one more day. We might feel the need to explore something new, anything that breaks the routine is appealing today. It is easier to take a step back and look at the bigger picture today. Could you allow yourself to have fun exploring new frontiers and see the perfection in all that is life?
On the other hand, Pluto and Venus align today which gives our relationships or the way we relate to others a certain intensity today. We most likely felt it already yesterday evening. If you get the sense that you are fixating on something within you or outside of you that brings up overpowering feelings or a problem that causes you to feel anxious, get really still, allow all feelings to come up, watch and allow your resistance towards what is and then ask yourself: Could I let go of wanting to resist this, just for right now? Could I embrace what is, just for this moment?
A Moon/Saturn aspect in the pm EDT gives us the opportunity to take responsibility for sharing our feelings and needs within our relationships. What would it feel like if you could be completely truthful and honest about what you need from others?
There will be a Moon void of course phase starting tomorrow, Sunday 9:30am, ending at 12:39pm EDT, when the Moon enters goal-oriented, practical Capricorn. Use this time to be still, go within and let yourself be guided by your higher power to see that all is well.
Many blessings, Sonja

 On the East coast we will start our day with a Moon void of course phase, which ends at 10:46am EDT, when the Moon enters spontaneous, big picture-oriented Sagittarius.
As I mentioned yesterday, Mercury makes a challenging aspect to Mars which will be exact this am EDT. There might be a tendency to be impatient with others or we might go as far as provoke an argument. This aspect is an invitation to grow beyond our own perceptions and step into the other person's shoes for a moment, to see if we can empathize with them on some level. Just for this moment could you let go of wanting to be right? Would you be willing to explore another perspective? How would you respond if you knew for certain that the other person is not deliberately trying to annoy you?
A long-term supportive aspect between Pluto and Jupiter is reaching its exact alignment today. Both of these planets have been traveling in earth signs for a while, which makes this combination a powerful component for manifesting our goals in the real world. We are more likely to believe in our own ability to make a difference; and come up with solutions to any obstacles that have been blocking our view of a brighter future, for a while now. Could you allow yourself to believe in your own unlimited beingness and the power that resides inside of you? What would you be willing to create for yourself, if that was so?
The Mayan calendar is ending today and a new era is beginning. Could you be open to the possibility of a new way of life, that serves all human and living beings? Celebrate yourself, celebrate life and all living things. Now is the time that we can no longer deny our connectedness and interconnectedness to all there is.
Many blessings, Sonja

 Before a new Moon, we often feel anxious and unsettled, if you think about it, right before the New Moon is the Moons darkest phase, it's like trying to see what's ahead of us on a dark road with our headlights out. After yesterday's New Moon, these uneasy feelings are starting to lift as the Moon is starting once again, slowly to gain light. Make sure to set your New Moon intentions, if you haven't already done so.
That said, the Moon will still be in intense Scorpio all day, making some powerful aspects to Mercury and Mars. This may lead to some impatient and rash communications. As best as you can, use this as an opportunity to grow beyond your own limitations and seek to understand the deeper meaning of things. With all those planets in Scorpio, we want to experience something deep and true.
On a higher vibration that could be a meaningful sexual experience or a deep alignment of our thoughts and feelings that has us share and connect to others from a powerful place. On a lower vibration we might obsess about an emotional experience or we are drawn to manipulation in order to feel empowered -- we would rather feel extreme emotions than nothing at all.
As best as you can, could you allow for intense feelings to come up without judgment or criticism? What would it look like if you could speak your truth powerfully without needing to annihilate the "opposition"? Could you allow love to guide you?
Many blessings, Sonja
