My Sign Says

The Moon in Aries Will Light a Fire Within You

Aries is a busy little ram today! All these transits are going to give us whiplash. An opposition and a square might make us edgy and argumentative. But fear not, because the rest of our day is filled with harmonious trines and a tender sextile that will ignite our courage, confidence, and consideration.

The Moon is Trine Venus at 7:32 AM

This morning, the moon in Aries forms a trine with Venus in Leo, bringing a welcome bit of love and tenderness to our collective mood. And maybe a bit of nostalgia. You could have the urge to connect with long-lost friends or rethink past events that jeopardized your relationships.

The moon trine Venus is a very maternal aspect, so you may have babies on the brain. Or, less literally, you might simply feel a strong urge to nurture and protect those around you—especially those going through a tough time right now.

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

You might be struck with a burst of creative energy. Leo will have you wanting to express yourself in offbeat ways while Venus wants you to create beauty. How can you best reconcile the two?

Mars Is Opposite Saturn at 8:17 AM

Later this morning, Mars in Leo moves opposite Saturn in Aquarius. You might be feeling a bit bored or lonely. You alternate between ambition and idleness. A lack of sincerity with certain thoughts or actions can lead to selfishness and carelessness.

Your sour mood is infectious to those around you right now and could lead to some issues in your relationships if you take things out on them by laying guilt trips or moping around. You might need to keep to yourself and ride out this funk for the morning.

The Sun Is Square The Moon at 5:17 PM

Early this evening, the sun in Cancer forms a square with the moon in Aries. The negative energy from earlier has stubbornly persisted. This transit can perpetuate problems with your health, your family, or your relationships. These problems can lead to awkward social situations and public disputes.

If you are finding it hard seeing eye-to-eye with another person, simply walk away. Save your energy for more productive matters.

The Moon Is Sextile Saturn at 9:18 PM

Later this evening, the moon in Aries forms a sextile with Saturn at home 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.

You could also be feeling wistful about loved ones and family or ancestors who are no longer with us. If that Aries energy is feeling abundant, public acts of service or demonstrations could be the answer. If you’re feeling introspective and melancholy, perhaps some time organizing photos or keepsakes could be healing.

The Moon Is Trine Mars at 10:04 PM

Tonight, the moon in Aries forms a trine with Mars in Leo, 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.
