Saturday rolls in with four good harmonies showing celestially. We see the Moon dancing nice with Chiron, Neptune and Pluto, while the Sun is in trine with Uranus. Great.

What can you do differently today, that will really help you reach your goals? It’s up to you.

“Sometimes limitations feel like restrictions. Sometimes they are actually the best road to freedom.”

On Sunday, we see Saturn squaring off with Pluto and the Sun squaring off with Neptune as the moon shows some tension with four planets. One of those planets is also Pluto, so check yourself and your mate on things that may be blocking progress. Is someone so “practical” that they fear new ideas? Are you resisting a Spiritual message that can help you break through to a new level of understanding? When the cosmos show tensions, that means opportunities for you to learn — and this is such a day.

Monday starts the week with the Moon squaring off with three planets, as it dances in trine with Uranus. This makes being receptive to new ideas a theme today, even as emotionally there are blocks with Spiritual growth. Find a moment for reflection and examine your Spiritual nature carefully. What is preventing your progress? The hardest part is admitting blockage to yourself — once you do, you can form a plan to break free.

Tuesday brings both the Moon (emotions) and Mercury (communication) in harmony with Saturn — a planet which deals in practical matters and the limits that must be set to stay down to earth. Sometimes limitations feel like restrictions. Sometimes they are actually the best road to freedom. For example, one must start with limited basics like scales and chords before you are free to play the piano well. Embrace current limitations in such a way that it will lead you to breakthroughs.

Welcome to your Father’s Day weekend. On Saturday, the Sun dances with Neptune, while the Moon (Emotions) shows some stress with the Sun, Venus, and Uranus. Your ideals — what you hold most important — are front and center as you wrestle a bit with your romance interests. You might have thought of a new way to move forward in relationships at work, and in your private life. That’s good, but often ideas get modified as you bounce them off those closest to you. Usually this works out for the best.

“On Father’s Day (Sunday) the Moon works well with Saturn, making it perfect to emphasize the practical side of things. “

On Friday, yesterday, the Moon was dancing well with the Sun, Venus and Neptune, and this brings an inner harmony with your Spiritual nature. It is within the “heart” that the Soul knows of Love. The Sun (Personality) squared off with Uranus (New Ideas), also on Friday, which means that you will need to work on your good feelings a bit in order to come up with ways to make them “real.” Plan a spiritual retreat with someone close. This could simply be a walk in an inner city garden, or a get-away to the ocean.

What do you believe is the right way to go in your relationships? That’s a question you may have asked this week, as the Moon squared off with Saturn. The Moon also danced well with Mercury and Mars, so you’re inclined to take the initiative in a matter with a practical way to proceed. And, you’re ready to talk about it — hash it out. Good. Practicality keeps you grounded — just try not to be to restrictive for the sake of common sense

On Father’s Day (Sunday) the Moon works well with Saturn, making it perfect to emphasize the practical side of things. How’s that?
