The Sun and Pluto Are Asking You to Make Some Changes

Today’s planetary energies are all about transformation and leadership. Combined with the waning moon, it seems that we’re getting a wakeup call to look at what needs to be released in our lives, and where we can step up and take charge of our own destinies.

The Moon is Conjunct Venus at 2:48 AM

When the moon in Leo forms a conjunction with Venus, also in Leo, it can usher in a sense of peace and harmony, deep empathy, a desire for beauty, and heightened sexual energy. It brings our emotions to the surface, and makes us more sensitive to everything around us—the good and the bad. Luckily, we’re more likely to attract the good under this influence.

All of this Gemini energy has us in the mood for socializing, and it would be a great time for entertaining, or just nurturing and loving on your nearest and dearest.

You’ll also be seeking ways to bring more beauty into your life and home, which might lead to a bit of retail therapy. Just be careful not to let your emotions outweigh your common sense when you’re up at the cash register.

The Moon is Square Uranus at 5:31 AM

This morning, the moon in Leo squares off with Uranus in grounded Taurus. This might have you feeling a bit jumpy and impulsive.

You’ll have some difficulty concentrating, and you’ll need to find an outlet for all that energy – or have an emotional outburst. This is a fleeting transit, and much of it will have (hopefully) happened while we were asleep.

The Moon is Sextile Mercury at 10:46 AM

Later on this morning, the moon in bold Leo forms a sextile aspect with Mercury in balancing Libra. This is a favorable transit, and these signs complement each other well.

This could put you in the mood for socializing and gabbing. Which, to be fair, can still be quite a challenge in these quasi-quarantined times. But it will be worth it to get creative in your modes of communication today. Take advantage of FaceTime or Zoom calls, and maybe shoot off some voice memos to the people you’d normally chit chat with in person.

Mercury rules communication and the moon rules emotions, so expect some heady, revealing conversations with your nearest and dearest. You’re in tune with your own emotions as well as those of the people around you right now, so those conversations will flow freely and easily.

This could be a creatively transformative period for you. You’ve got a tremendous amount of energy right now, and you’re focused on getting ahead. Your memory is razor-sharp, and your intuition is on point. Decision-making should feel natural. That clear head also means that routine mental work will feel easier than usual right now.

The Sun is Trine Pluto at 5:11 PM

This evening, the sun in Virgo forms a favorable trine with Pluto in Capricorn. This could be a time of great transformation if you’ll allow it. You’re feeling more intensely and deeply right now, and you’re willing to look at—and dismantle—what isn’t working in your life. You could also help others to make their own such discoveries.

This is an auspicious time to make a big impression professionally—whether on employers, colleagues, or clients. You’re primed to take on a more active leadership role in all areas. Personal or professional conflicts will also be easier to navigate and resolve at this time.
