Shea LeeBetween fiery Leo and workaholic Virgo, we may feel particularly restless today. But if we can hone the productive energy of lunar Virgo, we calm our nerves and settle our tense spirits.
The Moon Is Conjunct Mercury at 1:45 AM
In the wee hours of the morning, the moon in Leo forms a conjunction with Mercury in Leo. This transit can bring out some feelings of increased sensitivity and make mood swings likely. It can cause us to feel overly sentimental and nostalgic.
Our intuition and psychic abilities are sharpened under this placement, but our judgment could be clouded by emotional attachment.
It would be good to channel these intense energies into art—specifically writing or speaking. Communication is the key, and it could be a chance to get some things off your chest. Spend some time journaling today, and seek out the counsel (or just the ear) of a trusted woman in your family or circle to help you talk through things.
The Moon Is Opposite Jupiter at 8:26 AM
Later this morning, the moon moves in opposition to Jupiter. With it comes a need to express ourselves, regardless of the consequences.
Moon opposite Jupiter transit brings good feelings and generosity but also the potential for lack of self-control and unwanted attention. Bottling our emotions only leads to explosive outcomes later, so it’s best to try to stay as open as possible throughout the day. But again, be cognizant that fraught and contentious conversations are very likely today.
The Moon Moves into Virgo at 10:54 AM
When the moon is in the sign of analytical Virgo, we tend to be more productive, health-conscious, and critical. It’s a great time to focus on the more mundane and menial tasks that need attention, as our focus and memory are razor sharp and we don’t mind getting into the nit-picky stuff. We may be craving things like puzzles, mental exercises, games, and reading.
Take this time to do some organizing, deep cleaning, or Marie Kondo-ing of your home. We can buckle down in a zen-like state and do some serious detailed work if it means that we’ll see tangible results. Gardening could also be a great productive pastime, as could catching up on chores.
Our conversations and thoughts can turn toward the critical, and focus on fault-finding with ourselves and others. Self-improvement is likely to be at the forefront of our minds, and it would be a good time to evaluate your daily habits and routines, making adjustments to your diet and exercise.
Venus Is Opposite Neptune at 8:00 PM
This evening, Venus in Virgo forms an opposition with Neptune in Pisces. This transit makes us bashful as we long for romance. We may feel shy and timid. This inhibition may isolate us from potential partners. Artistic endeavors can offer us solace at this time.
If these creative hobbies help you blow off steam, congratulations. You’ll be feeling more playful and affectionate, and communicating with loved ones may become easier.
The Moon Is Conjunct Mars at 11:42 PM
A few hours later, the moon in anxious Virgo will form a conjunction with Mars in, guess who? Anxious Virgo. Double the Virgo, double the fun. It should be no surprise that this placement can bring about some passionate emotions. It can also instill a zest for life and an energy that’s infectious to everyone around you.
We may be wearing our hearts on our sleeves today, and the healthiest thing we can do is clear the air when a strong emotion comes up. Though you might not be able to hold those emotions in even if you tried.
This weekend, you might be feeling bold and brave, and wanting to take quick and decisive action. There’s also the chance of some irritability if people don’t get behind your plans. You should communicate what you need, but try to channel that into a physical activity instead of blowing up at your loved ones.
