“The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.”

David Foster Wallace, This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life

The Moon goes briefly void-of-course this morning from 9:48 AM PDT until 11:26 AM PDT, following an early morning Moon opposition to Jupiter, Pluto, and Pallas which expands our subconscious awareness. Upon the Moon’s arrival in Leo, the Sun opposes Saturn and Mars, forcing breakthroughs — or breakouts — that bring about important new activity. Today’s actions focus our efforts on teaching and learning with profound sincerity. In truth, this may bring about some profound separations — endings — as Jupiter and Pluto approach the conjunction that perfects on April 4th. Independence and independent action take on profound new importance as the lunar cycle waxes. Next Tuesday’s Full Moon (7:34 PM PDT 18° Libra/Aries) will begin to show us new ways to cooperate and collaborate without abandoning our independent perspective.

Venus enters communicative Gemini today and remains there until August 7. During this time, it will station retrograde, taking us for a walk on the wild side.

We’re entering a phase of powerful transformation in relationships, financial situations, creative situations, and matters of the heart, highlighting the need for honest communication and creative thinking. Pay attention to the area of your life ruled by Gemini. You’re learning important truths and information while being presented with life-changing choices. Stay true to your values, above all, and you can be empowered to make wise decisions.

Also today, the Leo moon trines the sun in Aries, and the energy is passionate and driven. You’re going after what you want, but do you know what you want? As Mercury meets Neptune in Pisces tonight, not all is as it seems. Move beyond appearances and seek depth and clarity. Don’t be in denial.
