“When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.”

Patrick Overton, The leaning tree : [poems]

Moon in Pisces conjuncts Neptune first thing today, reminding us that no matter how intensively we plan, we’re actually in uncharted territory trying to create order and understanding out of what we fear most: the unknown. Later, Mars ventures into service-oriented Virgo, creating a need to perfect ourselves and our processes, and also our external appearance. Stakes are high, and we embrace logic and reason in a very Spock-like way to maintain our free will and avoid conforming to unrealistic expectations others – and ourselves – place on us. From here forward, there’s no going back.

Today’s Moon brings perspective to our thoughts and actions. While other cosmic energy seems to be trying to derail us, this moon has quite the view of all that is taking place without joining in the chaos. Pisces Moon is even-tempered and values a fair and balanced assessment of any and every situation, bar none. Take a seat further away from the stage where you’re able to see all the characters and actions evenly and avoid getting emotionally involved in things that just seem more and more like unnecessary drama.

Tomorrow is another story.
