The Moon is quickly traveling through the sign of Sagittarius pressing matters into action while highlighting an emotional need for beliefs and ideals to be heard and respected. For those inclined toward intellectual or scholarly pursuits, the interest may be in spiritual healing and psychology. It may be a pleasing manner of speech and the gift of eloquence that inspires and stimulates the minds of the masses, although focus is required to overcome trouble in communicating ideas caused by a grand cross aspect. The highlight is on those gifted in teaching, lecturing, editing, administration, math and sciences, engineering and writing. This may also emphasize skills in advertising and public relations, especially through the printed word. Those who master adapting to circumstance can have accurate foresight in anticipating future needs and conditions related to work and industry. Expect upcoming events to place persons with strong Sagittarius in the natal chart (sun, moon, rising) at the center of attention.
A stellium continues to apply concentrated energy toward partnership, and the moon’s influence ties the connection to the place of residence or domestic affairs. Shifts within the home correlate with emotional changes that may be a direct result of changes within your relationship. The main objectives are to establish harmony in relationship through negotiation, cooperation, and compromise and to create a comfortable home that serves as a sanctuary from the pressures of the outside world.
During this period, you may decide to renovate your home as a reflection of some inner dissatisfaction prompting you to either change your residence or something about your home. At the root may be differences in life philosophy, upbringing, or with the mainstream that serves as the catalyst for wanting freedom and movement. Hopefully, you’re not relying on irresponsible optimism as a way of coping with the turning points or challenges you face in this cycle. On the other hand, perhaps you’re impatient with duties and obligations connected to shared property or being in debt and are seeking to break free from these obligations. The interest in home may also extend to career choices such as starting a career connected to real estate, dealing in property or land, interior design or decorating.
In some cases, it’s through partnership that you achieve what’s not possible on your own and benefits may be derived from those with whom you’re intimately involved. In fact, others will naturally come to your aid both materially and otherwise, and the assistance may arrive with or without request. To that end, you may seek those in an advisory capacity for assistance, and this is an excellent period to consult a professional such as a lawyer, doctor, counselor or expert in a particular field of interest. These insights from others may offer knowledge that can be used to make progress with problems or situations that may include changing financial conditions connected to the resources or debts you share with another person. The emphasis is on financial independence from the partner, some other person, or an overwhelming debt which is restrictive.
Under the current influence, relationships can improve and a good marriage or alliance becomes better. Even if you’ve had difficulties with your relationship in the past, you may be able to resolve your differences at this time. However, your natural inclination is to adjust to the demands of others with a tendency to surrender your power to your significant other, lover, or business partner because of excessive attempts to please. If so, you may receive little benefit due to an overwhelming emphasis on the needs of your partner. What initially appears favorable may ultimately become a mixed blessing that fulfills your partner’s needs only forcing you to give up a lot in order for your partner to gain. In the extreme, you may not even realize that your needs are being marginalized until someone else points it out through observation that this is the case.
Some encounters may take the form of conflict in order to force you to examine your own position. If this is the case, you can experience poor communications, misunderstandings and misrepresentations in all the one-to-one encounters in your life including intimate relationships and people whom you consult. Relationships tend to lack definition and certainty, and this may not be the time to expect firm commitments in your involvements, whether good or bad. Your partner may say one thing and do something entirely different creating confusion and misunderstandings and it’s possible that you will be lied to or deceived. However, you may unwittingly contribute to your own problems through some form of self-deception. An intuitive sense guides you in matters of trust where you must discern the discrepancies between what you’re told and what you instinctively feel. These situations force you to look closely at the level of emotional reciprocity in the relationship, and you may withdraw from those who fail to fulfill expectation.
Unfortunately, this is a period of endings. The advice is to cut losses and make way for new beginnings. This might signal the end of an arrangement that’s no longer working, resignation from a job, or a divorce. The key words are spiritual struggle which is defined by some psychologists as tensions, strains, and conflicts in relation to what people hold sacred. This can manifest as anger or disappointment with God, fear of demonic spirits, self doubt concerning beliefs, moral guilt due to self-imposed standards, questions about the meaning of life, or conflicts with people or institutions in relation to religion or spirituality.
