The Sun/Moon conjunction is trining Uranus which gives the potential for enlightened change and unbounded possibilities. Neptune is also squaring the Sun /Moon conjunction which can bring in an element of confusion and disorientation which can be part of the process of change. The old ways are not working anymore and the new hasn’t taken form yet. It is a time of transition. Jupiter, the planetary ruler of Sagittarius, is retrograde and is in opposition to Venus. This can manifest as ups and downs in the areas of love and money. But Jupiter is trining Mercury and Saturn which supports the stabilization and grounding of new directions. Overall it is a good New Moon and one that is worth taking advantage of.
