Moon in Aquarius + Mercury in Libra | 6 September 2014
Peace is the fruit of ego death. There are 2 kinds of ego, one is negative and the other is healthy. While negative ego makes us feel insecure and jealous when we see others succeed, healthy ego can actually make us feel excited and inspired. While negative ego fills us with anger and hurt in the midst of conflict, healthy ego can give us clearer perspective and open mind. While negative ego makes everything seem impossible, healthy ego gives us the drive and the will to keep going for our goals and dreams! Once we can differentiate between the 2 kinds of ego, we can better adjust our perspective whenever we feel disconnected from our own personal power. The Moon is back in quirky and open-minded Aquarius and we're ready again to open our mind to new thoughts and ideas! Aquarius is a sign ruled by electric Uranus and associated with the 11th House or the House of Friendships and Wishes in astrology, which is all about friendships and acquaintances of like-minded attitudes as well as our hopes, wishes and dreams.

With the Moon in Taurus trining Venus in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn, we can rediscover the joy and peace we get from enjoying the simple pleasures life has to offer. Whether it's our favourite meal? Our favourite spot in the neighbourhood? Favourite exercise? Favourite music? Or favourite time to rest? Joy is truly the highest energy of all. It's the magical sense that anything can be possible. Joy comes from appreciating the gifts within each moment.
