At 4:06 a.m.: The moon is conjunct Mars, and the moon void of course begins

In the morning, the moon and Mars conjunct in the final degree of Taurus, culminating in a story of aligning our emotions and actions as Mars transited the sign of the Bull. Consider the movements you’ve made over the past six weeks and reflect on how this time has changed you.  It may have been a period of standing your ground, acting on principle, or defending your ethics. It also might have been one that highlighted sensual appetites. Irritability is a hallmark of this influence if we lack a proper outlet for self-expression. In what ways have you wrestled with your desires and learned how to tame them?  The moon enters a short, hour-long void following this aspect’s perfection, suggesting we use this time for contemplation rather than starting new projects.
