Confidence abounds, but it ought to be correctly channeled. The confident Sun enters romantic Taurus at 3:56 pm EDT, encouraging us to seek love, friendship, beauty, and the finer things in life. Driven Mars then teams up with dreamy Neptune, providing us with the perfect balance between motivation and inspiration. That said, the Moon feels the tension with ego-focused Jupiter, making it difficult to see outside our individual perspectives. Feeling your best doesn’t mean that you have to treat others any less kindly.

Everything may not be as it seems. Communicative Mercury conjoins creative Neptune at 12:11 am EDT, providing a more creative and intuitive — but less logical — mindset. Later, the Moon stands against exaggerative Jupiter, blowing our emotions out of proportion and making it more challenging to see where the line is before crossing it. Still, once Luna coordinates with the wounded healer Chiron, we’ll be prepped to recover from any emotional wounds and provide the sensitivity and care that others might need. Prioritize healing.
