Our ambitions and achievements take center stage. The Moon in Sagittarius begins with a healing trine to Chiron, creating a space where we can align our ideas and our actions once Mercury then sextiles Mars. The Moon will move on to Capricorn as the day progresses, culminating in a spectacular Full Moon at 9:08 pm EDT. We are invited to make new progress toward long-term goals. Plus, projects that have been in the works for some time may be ready for a reveal.
It’s time for an emotional reset. The Moon in Sagittarius makes a fuss over Mars in Taurus, tugging us back and forth between trying something unfamiliar and exotic versus doing things by the book. Finding clarity will be difficult when the Sun in Gemini squares mysterious Neptune in Pisces. Fortunately, the energy shifts into something more open when the Sun enters caring Cancer at 4:51 pm EDT, initiating a thirty-day cycle for getting better in touch with our feelings and our families, chosen or biological.
Tension is ready to drain out of us. The Moon in Scorpio immediately shakes things up as it opposes rebellious Uranus in Taurus, though we can find a way to settle into any surprises when the Moon then trines gentle Neptune in Pisces. The Moon will bound into truth-seeking Sagittarius at 12:32 pm EDT, giving us the desire to grow beyond whatever we have previously known. Watch out — this urge could become too powerful to ignore when the Moon opposes powerhouse Jupiter.
An unusual intensity is surrounding our current emotions. Venus is in the early stages of its tour through security-conscious Cancer, and at 10:12 am EDT, it will squabble with severe Pluto in rebellious Aquarius. This could make it difficult to grasp the best way to channel our feelings. Fortunately, a trine from the Moon in Scorpio to Saturn in Pisces should help calm our nerves, while another lunar angle to Chiron will encourage healing and personal growth at a natural, healthy pace.
Our feelings and ideas can flow unimpeded at last! Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters emotional Cancer at 2:20 am EDT, setting us up for better relationships. Starting from the inside and working out should net the best results. Meanwhile, messenger Mercury will be very busy, squaring mystical Neptune before it follows Venus and dives into Cancer for the next few weeks. Mercury and Venus will then conjoin, beautifully blending their energies together and bringing out the best in all of us.
The world is like a watercolor painting at this time — beautiful, but blurry. The Moon opposes Chiron first, so we may feel a bit sensitive, before it moves on to stumble over Uranus, which could offer solutions from out of left field. Balance should return as the Moon trines the Sun, bringing a special equilibrium to things. Still, for better or worse, we may all ignore reality when Venus squares Neptune at 11:46 pm EDT. Magic will seem possible (even when it isn’t)!
We’re moving along at a gentle pace today, with no need to rush or worry. The Moon is in Libra, speaking up about the rewards of aiming for a steady middle ground, rather than trying to rock the boat just for laughs or pressing buttons to cause a reaction. Our words carry extra weight while the Sun and Mercury continue to waltz through Gemini, so there’s no need for us to keep our kind thoughts to ourselves. Communication can work wonders.
Our ideas are extra powerful today. Potent influences tug us one way and then another as the Moon squares Venus, stirring up the desire for comfort. The Sun will conjoin Mercury in Gemini at 12:33 pm EDT, filtering our thoughts into clear speech so that we can use our words in the most productive manner. There may be some confusion when the Moon opposes Neptune, but since Luna then slides into Libra, we should be able to relax into an easy give and take.
Healing is on offer — if we’re willing to do the necessary work. The Sun steps into a supportive sextile with wounded Chiron at 2:24 am EDT, so the more we voice our concerns, the easier it should be to handle them, once and for all. The Moon also opposes Saturn, so effort is required, though thankfully, as Mercury sextiles Chiron, our ability to use our words productively is highlighted. The lunar square to Mercury calls us to speak up before it’s too late!
Everything will probably require a bit more effort today. The universe wants things in a particular order as the Moon enters analytical Virgo, before trining make-it-happen Mars in earthy Taurus. Events get stopped in their tracks, however, when buzzy Mercury in Gemini squares icy Saturn in Pisces at 6:47 am EDT, forcing us to reconsider our ideas and rethink our plans. It will be particularly tempting to blast off into the unknown, when the Moon makes one last square to excitable Jupiter, also in Gemini.
