Jenny MilamWe’re starting out the day in a lovely, lighthearted way. But things get progressively more emotional as we go along, thanks to the influences of Neptune and Pluto. Be on guard; there’s a good chance you’ll take things too personally today.
The Moon is Sextile Venus at 12:07 AM
Overnight, the moon in analytical Virgo formed a sextile with Venus in nurturing Cancer. When the moon is sextile Venus, it forms a tender, loving aspect. All types of relationships can flourish under this influence, but it’s especially auspicious for romantic pairings. You might even start a new relationship.
It brings about increased beauty, charm, social popularity, and successful dating experiences. It’s an ideal time to be with your partners and friends, if you’re able to do so right now.
The Moon is Trine Jupiter at 10:23 AM
This morning the moon in Virgo forms a trine with Jupiter in Capricorn, and it puts us in a pleasant, lighthearted state of mind. It’s an ideal time to share your emotions with others, and your relationships will benefit from openness and honesty. You’re in a generous mood, and feeling very sociable. This transit can bring about social success and material gain.
The Moon is Opposite Neptune at 1:15 PM
This afternoon, the moon moves opposite Neptune in dreamy Pisces. This might cause you to be stuck in your own head, and your sensitivity and creativity are heightened. Just be careful not to overthink and hurt your own feelings, because you’re susceptible to that at the moment.
The Moon is Trine Pluto at 5:42 PM
This evening, when the moon forms a trine with Pluto in Capricorn, you might experience an even further increase to your sensitivity. You’re feeling things more powerfully and are easily moved by people – perhaps one person in particular, who you likely share karmic ties with.
You also find yourself delving deep into everyone’s emotions today, and you’re drawn to darker, unspoken, or taboo subjects.
Pluto is a planet of transformation; when it backtracks (i.e. retrogrades) it creates space for reflection. This is a great time to slow down and take stock at the personal transformations these past couple of months have brought. Take a hard look at things that need to be released from your life, like unhealthy habits or motivations.
It’s also worth taking a look at the transformations this time has brought to society as a whole. Pluto is the planet of destruction and rebirth, and it’s currently in the sign of Capricorn, which rules finances, business, and government. The stars are aligning to make some big changes over the next six months or so.
The energy of this retrograde might give you a new perspective on what shifts you want to see, and what you can do to support that.
The Moon is Trine Saturn at 11:35 PM
Later tonight, the moon in Virgo forms a trine with Saturn in Capricorn. This placement brings about the patience and emotional strength (or perhaps detachment) to allow you to handle sensitive or difficult relationship issues. It also brings on strong instincts of common sense, allowing you to make important decisions about home, family, and relationships.
This is an incredibly stabilizing transit, and generally puts us into a very reserved and conservative state of mind.
