Jenny MilamThe planets are spicing things up this afternoon, which could make for an exciting day for you and a special someone. Just make sure not to let some of the more critical, analytical Virgo energy we’ll see later on derail what could be some pretty fun plans.
The Moon is Trine Mars at 11:05 AM
This morning, the moon in Leo forms a trine with Mars in Aries, bringing with it some seriously fiery, spicy energy. 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. You’re a force to be reckoned with. Do something productive with that.
Venus is Square Uranus at 12:08 PM
When Venus squares up with Uranus, it can pose some challenges to our relationships—specifically romantic ones. The transit can bring up an urge for more freedom, or a general feeling of being stifled.
If you’re in a strong relationship, and are with a partner that’s open-minded, this won’t affect you too negatively. In fact, making an effort to spice things up in the bedroom is a great idea right now.
Just don’t respond to such ideas with judgement or resistance. The moon is headed to critical Virgo a couple of hours later, so it could be easy to do. But that could make one of you start looking around for other sources of newness or excitement.
If you’re single, a new and unexpected relationship is possible, but is likely to be more casual and fleeting than anything.
The Moon Moves into Virgo at 2:33 PM
When the moon is in the sign of analytical Virgo, we tend to be more productive, health conscious, and critical. It’s a great time to focus on the more mundane and menial tasks that need attention. Our focus and memory are razor sharp and we don’t mind getting into the nit picky stuff. We may be craving things like puzzles, mental exercises, games, and reading.
Take this time to do some organizing, deep cleaning, or Marie Kondo-ing of your home. We can buckle down in a zen-like state and do some serious detailed work if it means that we’ll see tangible results. Gardening could also be a great productive pastime, as could catching up on chores.
Our conversations and thoughts can turn toward the critical, and focus on fault finding with ourselves and others. Self improvement is likely to be at the forefront of our minds, and it would be a good time to evaluate your daily habits and routines, making adjustments to your diet and exercise.
All aspects mentioned here are calculated in Eastern Standard Time. For greater accuracy, please adjust for your time zone.
