Moody Mars Wants You to Pick a Fight Today. Don't Listen.

The moon and Venus are priming us for a day of connection and gratitude for the ones we love, but expect a bout of irritation and even aggression early in the day. If you can just power through those tricky feelings, and be careful not to let that moodiness bleed over onto others, this afternoon and evening are bound to be full of lovely interactions.

The Moon Is Trine Venus at 1:01 AM

Overnight, our fiery Sagittarius moon formed a trine with Venus in Aries. This can be a very maternal aspect, so you may have had dreams about babies overnight. Or, less literally, you might have woken up feeling a strong urge to nurture and protect those around you—especially those going through a tough time right now.

Write down a list of those people and why you’re grateful they’re in your life. And make a point to check in with them today if possible. Start their weekend off right, by telling them how much they mean to you.

The moon and Venus will amp up our charm and attractiveness today, and you’ll find you’re quite persuasive with those around you. It would be a great time to go after a promotion, a loan, or a favor. You can also use this energy to stand up for others.

The Moon Is Opposite Mars at 5:47 AM

This morning, the moon in Sagittarius moves opposite of Mars in Gemini. This transit could have us feeling a bit moody and temperamental for a spell. Things that we would typically gloss over or ignore suddenly get on our last nerve.

Impulsivity and aggression could be your downfall here, especially in your relationships with friends, family, or partners. You’ll need to stay conscious of this and exercise patience (check that gratitude list!) or else opt to spend some time alone. Physical exercise might help you to move that energy through.

The Moon Is Square Neptune at 12:45 PM

This afternoon, the moon squares off with Neptune in dreamy Pisces. This might have us feeling a bit raw and sensitive, even questioning reality. You’re incredibly susceptible to outside influences right now, and it can be hard to tell what opinions are yours and what you’ve picked up from others. The same thing goes for emotions, and that can be downright exhausting.

Your psychic urges could be heightened. There might even be a pull to deal your tarot deck or grab another divination tool. Just keep in mind that messages won’t be super clear right now, so write everything down to interpret later.

The Moon Is Sextile Jupiter at 4:25 PM

Late this afternoon, the moon in Sagittarius forms a sextile with Jupiter in Aquarius. The energy of the day is shifting. This is a social aspect, and you may be longing for more fun and lighthearted interactions than have been available in the recent past. (Another reason not to burn bridges earlier on in the day.)

Once again, you’ll have an urge to reconnect with old friends and family you’ve lost touch with. It’s a warm and welcoming transit for all relationships in our lives, but specifically those with women.

You’re feeling open, honest, and a bit vulnerable with your feelings. Making new connections will be easy. You’re feeling generous with your time, energy, and resources, and might look for group activities meant to help others.

Professionally, this would be a good time to make a presentation about a passion project or to promote yourself to superiors, collaborators, or investors.
