It’s a good day to feel good! Venus enters Taurus this morning, making us eager to indulge in the earthly pleasures life has to offer. Our experience feels a little more delicious today. Meanwhile, the Capricorn brings us to an emotional turning point. We may have to negotiate between our head and our heart; our past and our future; to fully release what no longer serves us. But by tonight, the changes we’re undergoing will feel more like an upgrade than an upset. Embracing the unknown can be empowering!

Today’s energy feels a bit much… The sun meets the North Node in Aries, illuminating our mission in this lifetime. This is a powerful day to ponder our purpose… and leave it at that. Give yourself the space to get clear about what you want, but wait to act until after next week’s solar eclipse. The Aquarius moon squares Jupiter and Uranus, bringing an excess of energy and potential changes to plans or emotional upsets. Staying flexible is key. Late tonight, the moon squares Mercury Retrograde at the same time Venus moves into Aries. We’ll crave connection and affection, but crossed wires could make it feel like we’re unable to get on the same page. How can you give love to yourself rather than expecting it from others?

Plans? Throw them out the window today. The Capricorn moon makes us crave a step-by-step itinerary, but the key to navigating today’s tension is to remain as flexible as possible. We wake up feeling optimistic under a trine to Jupiter. Starting the day with gratitude can help us set the stage for success. A square to Chiron could trigger old wounds as the day gets going. As the moon connects Uranus, changes and disruptions are likely. Release your grip on expected outcomes and trust that the Universe has a better plan than you do. Late tonight, the moon squares Mercury Retrograde, causing communication breakdowns and tech glitches. A simultaneous sextile to Venus and Neptune asks us to lean into love and reach for compassion in the midst of tension. No force. Just flow.

The Cancer moon takes us on an emotional ride this Moon Day! We start the morning feeling responsible and optimistic as the moon connects with Jupiter. But springing out of bed is only half the battle- When the moon makes a mid-morning square to Mercury, it can feel like our body and our mind are on different pages. Where we can find common ground between the two, we can find motivation to forge ahead. Pain points could pop up this afternoon under a tense 90º angle to Chiron, but this discomfort is forcing us to evolve. Notice how you might be abandoning your own needs to take care of others. Remember- self care isn’t selfish. The moon comes into a sextile with Uranus tonight, asking us to lean into change and embrace who we’re becoming in our next version.

Expect the unexpected this Sunday. As Venus squares Uranus, surprises and abrupt changes in relationships and finances are in the forecast. We could feel a spontaneous urge to redecorate or change our appearance too. Rash decisions in the moment could lead to regret down the road. The same goes for our speech- Mercury opposes Lilith, giving our words more power. This transit can give us the confidence to speak our mind, but how we share our thoughts could come across as critical or harsh. The Sagittarius moon continues her release. Now is the time to trust that what’s falling away is no longer meant for us- but be especially mindful how you say goodbye! There’s always an opportunity to let go with love.

New perspectives are possible today. If we keep an open mind, we can have healing realizations under a supportive sextile between mental Mercury and Wounded Healer, Chiron. The Taurus moon keeps us rooted in our body, allowing us to indulge in the human experience. But a tense 90º angle between the moon and Mercury can cause dissonance between our head and our heart. Soften to listen to the wisdom of both. Changes and surprises are in the forecast tonight when the moon crosses over Uranus. Stay flexible and expect the unexpected!

Hold your horses! The fiery Aries moon makes aggravating connections to Mercury and Mars, creating tension between our head and our heart. Watch out for impulsive or even hostile reactions today. Keep your side of the street clean and give others grace- we’ll all be a little more irritable under this unsettling energy. Old wounds could feel like they’ve been ripped open by the end of the day. Where there is pain, there is the potential to become stronger in our healing.

This Mercury Day is one for the books! Mercury Retrograde passes through the heart of the sun, bringing a profound moment for clarity and insight early this morning. With both the sun adn moon in mercurial signs, it could feel like we’re asking a lot of questions. Giving our mind space to ponder can invite in some of the answers we seek- but it may be helpful to give the body a rhythm to anchor to in the process. We’re certainly restless as the stimulating Gemini moon pulls away from a trine to Mars. As the moon clashes with the sun and Mercury, we reach a point of peak release. Venus brings support to this mashup, helping us lovingly let go of the stories that are no longer serving us. If it doesn’t bring health, wealth, or happiness, it’s time to create space for something that will!

The First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius pushes us ahead with optimism and faith. We wake up open to pleasure today under a harmonious connection to Venus. But we could trip ourselves up when the moon clashes with Mercury Retrograde this afternoon. Getting caught up in the big picture could make us overlook fine print. Slow your roll… Use discernment late tonight when the moon squares Neptune. We’re easily deceived now. If you’re feeling tempted to get lost in a fantasy, hit the pillow and drift off to dreamland instead.

The journey we’re embarking on this Venus Retrograde becomes clearer as messenger Mercury meets up with the planet of love, money, and beauty in Leo. Fond memories (or former lovers) could come to mind, stirring up familiar desires. Negotiations or transactions from the past could come up for review too. The Scorpio moon forms a T-Square to Uranus and Lilith this morning, forcing changes that could disrupt our plans. A trine to Neptune amplifies our sensitivity and connects us with our intuition. When the moon squares Venus and Mercury this afternoon, we could feel tempted to self-sabotage. Our cravings could override our rational mind. The moon enters Sagittarius this evening, giving us permission to indulge and expand!

We’ve got a LOT going on in the stars to start our week! Motivating Mars moves into meticulous Virgo, making us eager to be productive. Even the smallest actions can bring us closer to our destiny today as Mars harmonizes with the North Node. Meanwhile, Mercury goes on a journey of its own, opposing Pluto and squaring the Nodes of Fate. This configuration is called a Grand Cross, a highly-activating aspect that can force us to change the way we see the world around us. Conversations and interactions we have today could open us to deeper understanding.

Confusion is possible when Mercury squares Neptune. With Neptune slowing down and preparing to station retrograde next week, it could feel like a fog is just starting to creep in. This cloudy clash between the planet of communication and the planet of dreams makes for blurry boundaries and misunderstandings. Introspection is favored now. We can also be deceived under this transit- avoid negotiations or important decision making.
