“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So, you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them, they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”

Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons

The Moon is void-of-course for much of the day, from 7:09 AM PST until 4:27 PM PST. It may be very easy to get out of the house as we eagerly seek to express a new feeling of freedom. Any impulsiveness is only likely to create further obstacles down the road. The pull between taking action or keeping the peace keep us on the fence for much of the day today. Although we may feel strong creative urges, we won’t make much progress until the Moon arrives in Taurus this evening, when the flood gates open up. The Moon enters a square to Pluto and Saturn this afternoon, which could give rise to tense sensations in the emotional area. Each of us will perceive them differently according to our sensitivity. Sensitive people might feel depressed while the insensitive will be at the service of the ruthless Pluto. They act precisely as it does until they understand that everything in life will come back later.

The early part of the morning finds the Aries Moon at odds with Pluto and Saturn. Personal initiative could be hindered by rules and regulations or costs. The entrenched powers that be may in fact feel threatened by risk-taking pioneers. Fortunately, the Moon is also in a fine sextile with mental Mercury, keeping the channels of communication open and flowing. Know which way the wind is blowing. Take the pulse of co-workers and authority figures. Negotiations through the late morning can be productive but the Moon is void of course well before noon. The pace falters as attention and commitment levels waver. Let unresolved issues be. There will be time next week to reach solutions. The afternoon hours feel flat, but evening sees the Moon enter comfort-loving Taurus. A spontaneous invitation could follow. Be brave and dare to try something new.
