Jenny MilamWhile we were sleeping, the moon moved from grounded Capricorn to visionary Aquarius, and it’s set the tone for our day. Expect the first half to be filled with innovation and unexpected boldness, but the second half could bring up some situations that make us get real with ourselves and others — and perhaps uncomfortably so. Don’t worry, it’s all for the greater good.
The Moon Moves into Aquarius at 3:48 AM
When the moon is in Aquarius, there’s a certain energy that’s palpable in the air. It’s an urge to shake things up. We’re highly social but in a more abstract, cerebral kind of way. If you’ve been feeling mired in your own emotions lately, Aquarius can feel like a relief. It allows us to stand back, view things objectively, and create a new plan of action.
Aquarius is the sign of the visionary, so expect those intuitive hits to keep on coming. Your mind may be blown more than once over the next two days. This transit also has us wanting to connect with everybody and learn from the experiences of others. Humanitarian thoughts and plans become something of a preoccupation. We can start to see our places in the world as a whole and can focus on the evolution of humankind.
On the flip side, it’s possible that this Aquarian energy can make you feel like retreating into your own little world. That’s okay too. We all need to recharge once in a while.
The Moon is Trine Mars at 9:32 AM
Later this morning, the moon in Aquarius forms a trine with Mars in Gemini, bringing with it some seriously 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.
The Moon is Square Uranus at 6:15 PM
This evening, the moon in Aquarius 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 it will come bursting out of you in inconvenient ways. This is not the time for mundane or routine tasks. It’s time to get out and try something new.
You’ll also have a hard time relaxing, and you may have an overwhelming feeling that something BIG is about to happen. If you don’t get the newness or excitement you crave today, you may go looking for it. Just try to keep yourself out of trouble for the last part of the day.
You could be on the receiving end of an emotional outburst from someone else today. And while your instinct will be to run and avoid, it will be important to stay and patiently work through what’s attempting to be said. Avoid lashing out in return. Sensitivity is key here, and while it might lead to an uncomfortable conversation, the air needs to be cleared.
The Moon is Conjunct Saturn at 8:48 PM
Tonight, the moon in Aquarius forms a conjunction with Saturn, also in Aquarius. This transit can bring up some tensions in close relationships. It could also make you want to distance yourself from that discomfort. If you stay present and face these challenging situations head-on, it could be an amazing opportunity for growth and healing. But sometimes the healthiest thing you can do for a relationship is to give it a little space and spend some time on your own.
