This Weekend's Packed Social Calendar Is Brought to You by the Moon in Aries

This Friday is blessing us with not one but two favorable sextile transits that should set us up for some smooth sailing into the weekend. Soak up all that fire and air energy and spend some time with your nearest and dearest.

The Moon Is Sextile Saturn at 4:25 PM

This afternoon, the moon in Aries forms a sextile with Saturn in Aquarius. This transit might have you dwelling on the health, safety, and overall well-being of your loved ones and your community. You may have an urge to physically feed, shelter, or protect them.

While this is a nurturing transit, you might not feel the urge to dwell on anything too emotionally heavy. You’d rather tend to the practical needs of your friends and family, not necessarily the emotional ones. But reaching out and offering a shoulder to cry on for someone in need will be satisfying to you both.

You could also be feeling wistful about loved ones and family or ancestors who are no longer with us. It’s possible they came to you in your dreams last night, and that you woke up missing them pretty badly.

If you’re feeling introspective and melancholy, perhaps spending some time today reminiscing with shared loved ones or organizing photos or keepsakes could be healing.

The Sun Is Sextile the Moon at 6:41 PM

This evening, the sun in Gemini forms another sextile angle with the moon in Aries. We get a positive boost of emotional energy that brings harmony to our relationships with friends and family. Our conscious and subconscious parts of our brains fall into balance, and the energy is chill and worry-free.

A sextile between an air sign (Gemini) and a fire sign (Aries) often lends playful energy to a situation as well. It puts us in the mood for socializing, which at this moment in time, has been sorely needed. Do what you can to connect with some friends or loved ones tonight and over the weekend to do some much-needed catching up.

Because you’re so emotionally balanced under this transit, and can keep a cool head in normally heated situations, this would be a good time to have a calm, collected conversation about a possibly contentious issue with a significant other. This balance and self-confidence also make it an opportune time to promote yourself and take initiative in a work situation.
