Just like the Nile River enriches the soil, a water sign is enriching not one, but two earth signs today. The moon rules our emotions, and when it finds its home in Cancer, our instincts and intuition are sharpened. Mars rules our willpower and drive and when it is in Virgo, we are driven by logic. Uranus rules our innovation, and when it is in Taurus we use our creativity in practical ways.
The Moon Is Sextile Mars at 1:09 AM
In the wee hours of the morning, the moon in innovative Cancer forms a sextile aspect to Mars in practical Virgo. 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. Cancer’s creative and eloquent nature allows you to work and play well in a group setting — you listen and engage easily with others. Meanwhile, Virgo’s pragmatism is making you the leader of the pack. You are industrious and innovative. You have no problem cooperating with a group.
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 Is Sextile Uranus at 10:15 PM
In the evening, the moon in Cancer forms another sextile angle, this time with Uranus in grounded Taurus, stimulating personal encounters and exciting events. This transit has us feeling open to change, and might even urge us to seek it out. It’s a great time to try something new because of these lowered inhibitions.
Our intuitions are sharpened by this placement, and we’re blessed with quick decision-making abilities. Follow your instincts and make the most of every opportunity you’re granted. You are likely to receive flashes of insight on how to solve long-term problems in new, creative ways.
You’ll be looking for ways to shake things up intellectually, as well. Under this transit, we’re attracted to new philosophies and ways of thinking. You might even be intrigued by a new subject matter altogether and wish to learn all about it. Though you should think about if you have the follow-through to make much headway in this new venture.
