On the one hand, as the Moon in clever Aquarius opposes a close conjunction of the Sun and Venus in loving Leo, we’re able to join mind and heart in order to weave a web of protection and positive change for ourselves and the wider world. On the other hand, we’re challenged to release internal blockages and trust as things unfold.

As a writer, I’m no stranger to the whip. I’ve been writing about astrology now for nearly three decades. In some ways it gets easier and easier, but in one very important way it is harder now than it used to be: Now, I feel self-conscious because many more people are reading the things that I write.
