The Stars Are Testing Your Flexibility Today

This morning should be easy peasy, with the moon forming peaceful sextiles with both Uranus and Mars. But when the sun forms a square with Uranus, things get a bit more… intense. Read on to see how to weather this particular storm, and how to help your friends and family do the same.

The Moon Is Sextile Uranus at 1:50 AM

While we slept, the moon in dreamy Cancer formed a sextile angle with Uranus in grounded Taurus, stimulating personal encounters and exciting events. This transit has us feeling open to change, and might even urge us to seek it out. It’s a great time to try something new because of these lowered inhibitions.

Our intuitions are sharpened by this placement, and we’re blessed with quick decision-making abilities. Follow your instincts and make the most of every opportunity you’re granted. You are likely to receive flashes of insight on how to solve long term problems in new, creative ways.

You’ll be looking for ways to shake things up intellectually, as well. Under this transit we’re attracted to new philosophies and ways of thinking. You might even be intrigued by a new subject matter altogether and wish to learn all about it. Though you should think about if you have the follow-through to make much headway in this new venture.

The Moon Is Sextile Mars at 7:15 AM

This morning, the moon in emotive Cancer forms a sextile aspect to Mars in Taurus. This is a passionate and playful transit. We’re feeling both competitive and cooperative, and may want to both express our need for independence and be a part of a group simultaneously.

You can fulfill both roles by taking the lead on a project, or organizing work around a specific cause you feel strongly about.

This placement makes you very persuasive; you express yourself with confidence and the people around you respect that and follow your lead and conviction. It would be good to take advantage of this bout of confidence and bravery.

The Sun Is Square Uranus at 7:36 AM

A short time later, the sun in Aquarius forms a square with Uranus in Taurus. This transit asks you to stay flexible and open-minded amidst insecurity. It’s quite possible this will bring up feelings of tension and anxiety, but rash behavior isn’t going to help matters here. It’s important to remain calm and aware that this is only a temporary situation.

Square aspects bring about discomfort in order to teach us valuable lessons about ourselves and those around us.

Also keep in mind that you’re not the only one being affected by this transit. Be on the lookout for outbursts from others as well. Try to make yourself a point of calm within the storm for your loved ones.
