Conversations the Moon is having with other Planets

Moon Square Uranus is a very intense conversation that is happening this New Moon. The energy between these two planets is very strong and can cause uneasy emotions. This combination may trigger earthquakes although this is more likely to happen with a Full Moon. 

You have to be willing to stand out from the crowd with this energy. Do not go along with the masses just because that is what everyone else is doing. The key here is don’t be extreme about it. Do your own thing in your own way. 

Trine Chiron You are able to take the pain you have gone through and help other people with it. Share your experiences in a loving way. 

Quincunx Neptune Be willing and ok with saying no. Do not make or let yourself be the victim. Is being a martyr worth it?

Conjunct Venus Find like minded people. Surround yourself with friends and beauty to create the balance needed. You can ease uneasy energy by spending more time in nature. (Relationships may play an important role right now) 

Trine North Node Follow your heart, it knows where it is going. It will steer you in the right direction. You have been ignoring it for too long. 

Grand Earth Trine involving Mars, Uranus, and Pluto. The energy moves well in a Trine. The Planets involved though are a little bit hard and especially when you have those harder planets exchanging energies between themselves. The earth trine itself provides self sufficiency but also stubborn energy. 

Planets in close Conversation

Mars Trine Uranus lots of energy is available for use. There are so many aspects connecting this Uranian energy it will be very interesting how it all manifests. It will be something sudden, shocking, and unexpected that is for sure. That is how the Uranian energy works, like a bolt of lightning and here we have mars striking matches at it. 

Mercury Quincunx Chiron You need to take better care of yourself and stop giving your energy away to others. 

Sun square Uranus You want to stand out from the crowd. You know the importance of keeping your individuality. You are original and will lead the way for what feels right for you. 

Pluto Square the North Node Transformation of the collective and the world continue. It is not always comfortable but it is needed.
