This Moon in Aries Has Us on Edge

Our week is starting out with some edgy, antsy energy thanks to the moon in Aries. But luckily, as with all planetary transits, it’s only a temporary situation. Let’s take a look at what we can expect from today.

The Moon is Square Pluto at 5:13 PM

This evening, the moon in fiery Aries forms a square with Pluto in grounded Capricorn. Our impulsiveness butts up against a bit of introspection, and that can cause some discomfort. This could lead to some compulsive or destructive behavior, as some long-buried wounds or traumas are pulled to the surface.

It’s quite possible that some of these wounds have to do with family history, so be on the lookout for emotional power struggles with family members or partners.

This isn’t fun by any means, but it’s very important not to bury things even further. You need to find a way for that energy to move through you. Talk to a friend, get your thoughts down on paper, or seek out the counsel of a professional. And keep in mind that this is only a temporary transit.

The Sun is Sextile the Moon at 7:11 PM

A bit later, the sun in Gemini forms a sextile angle with the moon in Aries, and things start feeling a bit more peaceful. We get a positive boost of emotional energy that brings harmony to our relationships with friends and family. Our conscious and subconscious parts of our brains fall into balance, and the energy is chill and worry-free.

This is a good time to have a calm, collected conversation about a possibly contentious issue with a significant other. This balance and self confidence also make it an opportune time to promote yourself and take initiative in a work situation.

The Moon is Square Jupiter at 8:01 PM, and Moon Void of Course Begins

Things are feeling relaxed later on tonight as the moon forms a square with Jupiter in Capricorn. They might even feel a bit boring. We’re feeling restless, and our emotions could be amplified under this transit, which could lead to some dramatic outbursts. It’s important not to get impulsive or reckless out of a desire for novelty, especially in your relationships.

Instead, shift your focus to creating something good and beautiful in the world. It might be a good time for spiritual or educational pursuits.

The moon void of course has begun, and we’re on the tail end of the waning crescent moon, so it might be better to chill out a little bit and worry about things like plans at a later time.
