This is the prelude before the prelude to the lunar eclipse in Leo. I say that because the mood out there today will be so different from what we'll feel on Friday.

This is because the Moon is in Cancer today, caught up in a cardinal grand cross.  Cancer is a sensitive sign, concerned with security. I state this without judgement. I have Capricorn!

Together, Cancer and Capricorn form the parent/child axis. We don't like our families threatened and this includes our homeland. Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn do nothing to quell fears!

Jupiter in Libra believes we can all get along,  Too bad he's retrograde and being hit from three sides. Drat, drat and drat!

I don't know what to tell you other than this angst will pass, and pass quickly. Because tomorrow the Moon with be in Leo, the sign that rules the heart.  At that point we'll officially be heading into the lunar eclipse, which most will enjoy.

You may have to dig your heels in today, but if so, you'll have a lot of company. So we're together even when separated. Big ol' cosmic joke.
