Passions are rising. Our beliefs are grounded in a structure that is evolving but well grounded in established principles of some kind or another. Intuition and intellect are in sync in extremely powerful ways. We are likely to feel a strong sense of freedom today that allows us to shift our tactics, shift our positions, and shift our message without giving up on the push to create changes that move us towards our ultimate goals. Our challenge here is to fully understand the details. There are extremely powerful Big Picture issues under examination but some tendency to gloss over the details — and little patience or support to fully flesh out those details. The Moon goes void-of-course at 8:41 PM PST.

Action planet Mars in the sign of Scorpio shares a sextile with transformative Pluto in the sign of Capricorn. This is a very potent, powerful combination that is regenerative and transformative.

These planets are urging each other to grow and evolve, which will prove to be hard and frustrating. The only way out is through, so take it easy, move with grace, and take on situations at your own pace. Don’t push or rush through matters. Doing so will only cause problems down the road. The only way to evolve into the person you want to be is to do so carefully as you find your rhythm. There is a healing energy in this aspect as long as you are ready to step up and elevate your heart and mind.

The lunar energies are intense relating to Venus, Mars, Neptune, and Pluto. There could be power struggles in relationships urging us to resolve situations, which we might not be able to do. The reason is that emotions are tense while frustration and annoyance are high. Triangular situations could take precedence.

In order to avoid issues, it would be best to be direct concerning your emotions, even if the presence of Neptune makes it hard to be open and honest.
