The Moon in Libra Wants You to Treat Yo'Self

The first part of the day might be a bit tense, thanks to the moon squaring off with Mercury and forming an opposition with Neptune. But later this afternoon things start looking up, and tonight the moon moves into dreamy, peace-loving Libra, providing the perfect time to do a little pampering and self-care.

The Moon Is Square Mercury at 7:40 AM

Early this morning, the moon in Virgo forms a square with Mercury in Gemini. This transit is setting up a bit of a standoff between our emotions and our thoughts.

This could lead to some possible conflict and irritability. While you’re hashing things out in your own head, be careful not to push your opinions or criticism onto others. Your emotions are swaying your thoughts too much, and you could end up doing permanent harm to a relationship if you insist on a debate.

Instead, channel that energy in a more productive way. Maybe some time spent on intensive organizing could be beneficial? You’re in the perfect frame of mind to do some deep cleaning of your physical space.

The Moon is Opposite Neptune at 9:17 AM

Later on this morning, the moon in Virgo moves opposite Neptune in dreamy Pisces. You feel stuck in your own head, with heightened sensitivity and creativity. Just be careful not to overthink and hurt your own feelings, because you’re susceptible to that at the moment.

Your fears might try to overshadow your intuition. You may also be taking things others say personally or out of context. Don’t take your feelings too seriously right now. They’re only a temporary situation.

The Moon Is Trine Pluto at 3:45 PM

This afternoon, the moon in Virgo forms a trine with Pluto in Capricorn. This might cause you to feel extra sensitive. You’re feeling things more powerfully and are easily moved by people—perhaps one person in particular, with whom you likely share karmic ties.

You’ll also find yourself delving deep into everyone’s emotions today, and you’re drawn to darker, unspoken, or taboo subjects.

Pluto is a planet of transformation; it creates space for reflection. This would be a great time to slow down and take stock of the personal transformations these past few months have brought.

It’s also worth taking a look at the transformations this time has brought to society as a whole. Pluto is the planet of destruction and rebirth, and it’s currently in the sign of Capricorn, which rules finances, business, and government. Just think about that for a minute.

The Moon Moves into Libra at 9:32 PM

This evening, the moon moves into peace-loving, open-minded Libra—the absolute queen of deliberation and the pros/cons list. Libra loves beauty and balance, and absolutely hates confrontation and chaos.

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, so focusing on those two things is quite natural during this transit. Pamper yourself or a loved one. Experiment with your personal style. Spend some time revamping your home decor.

The Sun Is Trine the Moon at 11:42 PM

Late tonight, the sun in Gemini forms an airy trine with the Moon in Libra. This placement brings two energies into harmony. In this case, it’s the sun (who represents our will and overall vitality) and the moon (who represents our emotional lives).

In other words, this transit brings our conscious mind and our emotional awareness into harmony, allowing us to feel comfortable in our own skin. There’s an attitude of “what you see is what you get.” No pretense, no games.

This transit brings an overall sense of peace, happiness, and good fortune. It also might create a need or urge for spontaneity, and it’s a great time to get out and socialize with your friends and loved ones if you are able.
