The Moon in Sagittarius Wants You to Play the Day Away

The moon is moving from intense Scorpio to playful Sagittarius, and it’s got us in the mood for adventuring and socializing. Expect new ideas to come flooding in all day, but keep in mind that detail-oriented work is going to be a challenge today.

The Moon is Sextile Saturn at 2:25 AM

While we slept, the moon in Scorpio formed a sextile with Saturn in Capricorn. This transit might have had you dwelling on the health, safety, and overall well-being of your loved ones and your community. You could also be feeling wistful about friends, family and ancestors who are no longer with us. If you’re still feeling introspective this morning, try spending some time organizing photos or keepsakes.

Granted, most of us were asleep while this happened, so the energy may have showed up mostly in our dreams. If you awoke with an air of melancholy, though, this is likely why.

The Moon Moves into Sagittarius at 8:51 AM

Synchronicities, psychic hits, and gut instincts should be heeded under this moon. After the heavy introspection of a Scorpio moon, Sag feels more energetic and optimistic. We want nothing more than to gather our friends and go on an epic adventure. But, it still urges us to search for the truth, and that euphoric high you get when something you’ve struggled with suddenly makes SO MUCH SENSE is Sagittarius’ calling card.

When you do finally see that big picture clearly, your philosophy and worldview can shift a little. That’s OK. It’s a flash of enlightenment in an otherwise dark landscape, and it can give you the hope to keep on learning and growing in times of adversity.

Sag moons also spur us into action. We want to be moving forward, gaining ground, and making progress. It can put us in a much more adventurous, risk-taking sort of mood. If you’re feeling stuck emotionally, sometimes physical activity can help clear our hearts and minds.

Be wary with all of this truth you’re uncovering. It’s important to share, but Sagittarius isn’t known for tact. Think before you speak, and take others’ emotions into consideration.

Mercury is Trine Uranus at 11:47 AM

Later this morning, Mercury in Virgo forms a trine with Uranus in Taurus. Under this transit, we’re feeling very open-minded and adventurous. Our intuition is strong, our thoughts and words are stimulating, and we’re open to making new discoveries and new friends. Exciting and stimulating encounters could be headed your way. You’re longing to spend some time sharing new ideas with interesting people.

This would be an excellent time to delve into the unknown. You might be in the mood to spend some time with divination or astrology, or other complicated, detailed fields of study. Puzzles and games would also be fulfilling.

Venus is Opposite Jupiter at 8:15 PM

This evening, Venus in emotive Cancer forms an opposition with Jupiter in Capricorn. This transit makes us want to shirk off responsibility and play instead. Hopefully at this point you’ll be able to do so, but if you currently have work to do, you’ll have to dig deep for the motivation to stay on task. Detail-oriented jobs will be a special challenge right now.

If you are able to blow off steam, congratulations. You’ll be feeling more playful and affectionate than usual, and making new friends (and lovers) will come easily.
