Astrology of the Day – Moon in Aries – Sunday 18th February 2018

Mercury and Sun in Pisces - Going with the flow

The Moon begins the day still in the mutable sign of Pisces and there is a fluidity of or emotions that you will be aware of, although maybe some confusion and uncertainty too as the Moon remains void of course through the first half of the day. Actually, this is promising to be a most unusual day as the Moon will only make one major aspect during Sunday, and the only other notable Astrological effects will be planets changing signs.

The first of these comes as the Sun is rising with Mercury shifting into the sign of Pisces. There will be a dramatic change of emphasis as Mercury exits Aquarius, as we leave behind cool logical thought processes for a much more incoherent, and yet intuitive way of thinking and making decisions. The Moon then makes an emotionally healing link up with Chiron, although it will also make you feel the inadequacies in your life too. By realising and coming to terms with them, then you can emotionally heal the hurts of the past.

We will feeling be MUCH more sensitive with Mercury in Pisces, even more so when in the afternoon the Sun also moves into the sign of the fishes. This will for a few days create a Pisces log jam with Sun, Mercury, Venus, Neptune and Chiron in this sacrificial sign. This is the sign of universal love, of understanding without knowing, of sensing what is right and what is wrong and of pure creativity and inspiration. Over the next few days there will be a danger of believing our own hype and of blissfully floating along instead of properly planning out our actions. Much can go wrong if we take too much for granted.

Luckily just before the Sun moves into Pisces, the Moon passes over the celestial boundary and begins a new cycle of evolution by moving into Aries. This will sharpen up our emotions and bring us more direction and purpose. We will react with straight answers and honesty, and the go around the houses nature of some the responses we receive because of the Piscean energy dominating the rest of the chart may frustrate us a lot. This battle between the certain of Aries and the uncertain of Pisces is going to keep us completely off balance for a while leading us to make mistakes, and because of this our moods may shift and swirl like a leaf caught up in a gust of wind. My advice is to hold steady if you can, and hold fire for the calmer emotions of the Moon in Taurus in a couple of day's time.
