It's Spring Cleaning Day, According to the Stars

The moon, ruler of our emotions, is in dreamy, watery Pisces right now. We’ll be experiencing some heightened emotions, some deep insights, and some possible conflicts between our hearts and our heads. The perfect time to do some physical—and energetic—clearing.

The Moon is Conjunct Mars at 12:11 AM

A bit after midnight, the moon in dreamy Pisces moved conjunct Mars in, guess who? Dreamy Pisces. Double the Pisces, double the fun. It should be no surprise that this placement can bring about some passionate emotions. It can also instill a zest for life and an energy that’s infectious to everyone around you.

We may be wearing our hearts on our sleeves today, and the healthiest thing we can do is clear the air when a strong emotion comes up. Though you might not be able to hold those emotions in even if you tried.

Today you might be feeling bold and brave, and wanting to take quick and decisive action. There’s also the chance of some irritability if people don’t get behind your plans. You should communicate what you need, but try to channel that into a physical activity instead of blowing up at your loved ones.

The Sun is Trine Pluto at 1:09 AM

A short while later, the sun in earthy Taurus formed a trine with Pluto in practical Capricorn. This transit can bring about intense, deep experiences. We’re driven to dive deep and research and investigate things we’re interested in, finally getting to the bottom of some nagging situations.

This transit can also give us great power and influence over our own lives, clearing the way for powerful transformations. It would be a good day to make an impression on your superiors. Resolving personal and professional problems, or taking on a leadership role, should be smooth sailing.

It would also be a very auspicious time to do some clearing of your physical environment. Hello, Spring Cleaning!

The Moon is Sextile Uranus at 12:50 PM

This afternoon, the moon moves sextile of Uranus in Taurus, stimulating personal encounters and exciting events. This transit has us feeling open to change, and might even urge us to seek it out. We’ve got lowered inhibitions, and it’s a great time to try something new.

Our intuitions are sharpened by this placement, and we’re blessed with quick decision making abilities. Follow your instincts and make the most of every opportunity you’re granted. You may receive flashes of insight on how to solve long term problems in new, creative ways.

The Moon is Square Mercury 1:03 PM

Just a few minutes later, the moon in dreamy Pisces forms a square with Mercury in Gemini. This is setting up a bit of a standoff between our emotions (double water sign energy of the moon and Pisces) and our thoughts (Mercury and Gemini both deal in intellect and curiosity.)

This all adds up to some possible conflict and irritability. While you’re hashing things out in your own head, be careful not to push your opinions or criticism onto others. Instead, channel that energy in a more productive way. You’re in the perfect frame of mind to do some deep cleaning of your physical space. Noticing a theme here?
