Jenny MilamYou may start the day off feeling a bit raw and sensitive, thanks to Neptune and Pluto’s influences. But things start looking up later on in the morning! The moon moves into playful and inquisitive Gemini this afternoon, bringing with it some serious social butterfly energy.
The Moon Is Sextile Neptune at 12:45 AM
A bit after midnight, the moon in earthy Taurus formed a sextile with Neptune in dreamy Pisces. Expect this to bring up an active, vivid imagination and a good dose of empathy. Your sensitivity and emotions will be heightened, and you’ll feel more in touch with not only your own feelings but those around you as well.
You’re especially sensitive to negative energies this morning. Your intuition and psychic abilities are heightened at this time. It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with a divination practice. Keep a journal with you to record any flashes of insight you get today.
The Moon Is Trine Pluto at 7:22 AM
This morning, the moon in Taurus 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 Is Sextile Mars at 11:08 AM
A bit later this morning, the moon in grounded Taurus forms a sextile aspect to Mars in emotional Cancer. This is a passionate and playful transit. We’re feeling both competitive and cooperative; we 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 Moon Moves into Gemini at 2:48 PM
This afternoon, the moon moves into the sign of playful, chatty, curious Gemini. A Gemini moon puts us in the mood for socializing—but nothing too heavy, please! We’re in social butterfly mode, wanting to flit from person to person. There’s nothing we want more than to make the rounds in a light-hearted, fun-loving circuit.
We’re more prone to short attention spans right now, and probably find ourselves deflecting uncomfortable situations or sticky emotions with humor. We’re also highly curious—Gemini is the first air sign of the zodiac and it ushers in an, um, air of endless possibilities. (Sorry.)
There’s a bit of jittery energy that comes with the territory, which some might enjoy as the buzz of excitement. But if you’re prone to nervous tension or anxiety it could be a bit more uncomfortable for you. Try to channel that energy into something active. Go on an adventure. Seek out new people and experiences. Invite your friends to a backyard shindig.
If you’ve been working on a project or creative idea, you might find that today would be an epic day for a stream-of-consciousness brainstorming sesh. There are no bad ideas today. Don’t pass judgment on the thoughts flitting through your brain. Just write them down as quickly as you can.
The Moon is Square Jupiter at 6:54 PM
Things are feeling relaxed this evening as the moon in Gemini forms a square with Jupiter in Pisces. In fact, things are so relaxed that they might even feel a bit boring. We’re feeling restless, and our emotions could be amplified under this transit, which could lead to some dramatic outbursts.
It’s important not to get impulsive or reckless out of a desire for novelty, especially in your relationships.
Don’t fall into the trap of retail therapy to cure your boredom, either, as Jupiter can inflate our sense of our finances. That could get you into trouble.
Instead, shift your focus to creating something good and beautiful in the world. It might be a good time for spiritual or educational pursuits.
