Venus and Neptune Will Have You in a Dreamy Fog Today

The moon moves into Capricorn today, which means for the next couple of days we’ll be blessed with the tenacity and fortitude to get stuff done. But all that determination might be waylaid by Venus and Neptune, who are catapulting us straight into fantasy land this afternoon.

The Moon is Trine Mars at 8:03 AM

This morning, the moon in Sagittarius forms a trine with Mars in Aries, doubling (or tripling) down on some serious spiciness. This aspect has us feeling daring, sexy, and charismatic, and urges us to make the first move and take the lead.

You’ll find you intuitively know what you want and how to get it, especially in your relationships. It’s OK to be direct and assertive; there’s no reason to fear being bossy or taken the wrong way. Even if you’re typically shy, take advantage of this bout of uncharacteristic boldness.

This is also a time when you’ll find it easier than normal to stand up for yourself and your loved ones in challenging situations. Your energy and enthusiasm will draw people in, and quite honestly will be contagious.

The Moon Moves into Capricorn at 1:38 PM

This afternoon, the moon moves into the earthy, grounded sign of Capricorn. Under a Capricorn moon, we’re inspired to get down to business. We want to feel productive and are looking for substance, not small talk. This transit is great for pushing past barriers and overcoming obstacles.

Capricorn lends patience and discipline to the emotional energy of the moon and everything we’re doing during this transit. You may find yourself feeling more thrifty and budget conscious, and more careful and conservative in your decision making. You’ll be less interested in taking risks than you are in building something that lasts. What’s a good use of your time and energy right now?

For the next couple of days, it might be best to establish a single goal and see it through to completion, rather than multitasking.

Venus is Trine Neptune at 4:44 PM

A bit later this afternoon, all that Capricorn motivation butts up against an obstacle when Venus in emotional Cancer forms a trine with Neptune in dreamy Pisces. This can be a lovely and pleasant transit, but it’s not ideal for getting things done. You may find yourself suddenly in a fantasy world where reality doesn’t mean much, but creativity means everything.

Your empathy levels should be off the charts under this transit, with so much intuitive water energy. You can feel everyone’s emotions quite intensely. You might have a hard time distinguishing the feelings that are coming from inside your own head from the feelings coming from the girl standing next to you.

Your perception, however, may be a bit off. You could believe you’re having a soul-level connection with another spiritual being on this physical plane, but you’re really wandering around in an illusory soup of thoughts and feelings.

The Sun is Trine the Moon at 11:10 AM

Tonight, the sun in Virgo forms a favorable trine angle with the Moon in Sagittarius. This placement brings two energies into harmony. In this case, it’s the sun (who represents our will and overall vitality) and the moon (who represents our emotional lives).

In other words, this transit brings our conscious mind and our emotional awareness into harmony, allowing us to feel comfortable in our own skin. There’s an attitude of “what you see is what you get.” No pretense, no games.

This transit brings an overall sense of peace, happiness, and good fortune. It also might create a need or urge for spontaneity, and socializing with your friends and loved ones if you are able.
