Shea LeeToday, we strive to be mentally and emotionally stimulated. We crave communication and connection with others. If we do not find meaningful connections with those around us, we run the risk of becoming reckless.
The Moon Is Trine Saturn at 1:15 AM
While we were sleeping, the moon in Gemini formed a trine with Saturn in Aquarius. This placement brings about the ability to articulate your thoughts clearly (and also a bit of emotional detachment) to allow you to handle sensitive or difficult relationship issues. It also brings on strong instincts of common sense, allowing you to make important decisions about home, family, and relationships.
This is an incredibly stabilizing transit and generally puts us into a very reserved and pragmatic state of mind. But as it happened in the middle of the night, you might not experience much of that, save waking up with a sense of peace.
The Sun Is Sextile the Moon at 3:29 AM
A couple of hours later, the sun in Leo forms another sextile angle with the moon in Gemini. We get a positive boost of emotional energy that brings harmony to our relationships with friends and family. The 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 (Leo) 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 today 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.
Venus Is Trine Uranus at 3:38 AM
Just minutes later, Venus in loyal Virgo forms a trine with Uranus in dedicated Taurus. This can be a lovely, if not frivolous transit. You may find yourself preoccupied with entertainment and material possessions
Our emotions are stable and grounded thanks to these earth signs. You know exactly what you want, and you are able to connect easily with others. This self-awareness is admirable, but be careful not to overindulge in certain earthly delights.
The Moon Is Sextile Mercury at 8:10 AM
A bit later, the moon in Gemini forms a sextile aspect with Mercury in Leo. This is a favorable transit, and these signs complement each other well. Mercury rules communication, and the moon rules emotions, so expect some heady, revealing conversations with your nearest and dearest.
You’re in tune with your own emotions as well as those of the people around you right now, so those conversations will flow freely and easily.
Communication is the theme of the day. It’s very likely that you’ll receive more attention from friends and family than usual. Remember to check in on them as well. Your support and advice might be sorely needed. You could be a shoulder to cry on for a friend in need.
Your memory is razor-sharp, which could bring about some nostalgia or wistfulness. You might be reminded of an old friend, or maybe even hear from one. That clear head also means that routine mental work will feel easier than usual right now.
The Moon is Square Venus at 11:22 AM
Around lunchtime, the moon in Gemini forms a square with Venus in Virgo. This transit turns our minds to our need for love and affection. If we don’t feel seen or appreciated by a partner or friend, it could lead to some moodiness or impulsivity. And that’s something that could be disastrous to act upon.
This tends to be a very sentimental transit, and can have us toiling away in our memories. You might be reliving important moments (or remembering important people) in your dreams. It could also put you in the mood to seek out people from your past.
Serious work matters will feel like an uphill trudge right now. If you can push things off until tomorrow, seeking out people or activities that bring you pleasure and joy will be much more beneficial for your psyche.
Mercury is Square Uranus at 10:23 PM
This evening, Mercury in Leo forms a square with Uranus in Taurus. This is a very mentally stimulating transit. You might find yourself growing bored easily and looking for excitement. Expect interruptions and setbacks—don’t hang on too tightly to plans you make. If you remain flexible you’ll weather these little upsets easily.
Your mind will be moving at lightning speed tonight. If you can keep up with it, you’ll feel sharp and inspired. Keep a notebook with you to jot down ideas that fly through your mind before you lose them forever. This energy has the potential to feel scattered and overwhelming as well, however, and if that’s the case, it would be better to not try and force yourself into tasks that require great concentration.
