Jenny MilamThe moon is tussling with Neptune and Pluto today — one planet shrouded in mystery, and one whose M.O. is to dig up emotions you’d much prefer to stay buried. This can make for a heavy, confusing, and probably uncomfortable day.
But that complication should reach a breaking point tonight when the moon moves into the independent sign of Aquarius. This will give you the clarity to take a step back and see those emotions for what they are — a temporary situation meant to help bring about some much-needed change.
The Moon Is Sextile Neptune at 2:59 AM
Overnight, the moon in earthy Capricorn moved sextile of Neptune in dreamy Pisces. Expect this to bring up an active, vivid imagination and a good dose of empathy. Your sensitivity and emotions will be heightened, and you’ll feel more in touch with not only your own feelings but those around you as well.
You’re especially sensitive to negative energies this morning. Your intuition and psychic abilities are heightened at this time. It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with a divination practice. Keep a journal with you to record any flashes of insight you get today.
The Moon Is Conjunct Pluto at 1:20 PM
This afternoon, the moon in Capricorn forms a conjunction with Pluto, also in Capricorn. This transit can bring up some deep, overwhelming feelings. It’s possible that an interaction with someone in person or online could trigger some old wounds that you would rather stay buried. This could turn into a fixation.
Your dreams from last night could have a lasting impact on your mood today, and you’re prone to psychic hits and intuitive insights. Reach for your journal, your cards, or your phone so you can work things out with a trusted friend. Spending some time with girlfriends today could be very helpful in moving sticky or stagnant emotions through.
You’re feeling everything so deeply right now, so the chance of overreacting or taking things too personally is pretty high. Keep that in mind when dealing with your loved ones.
The Moon Moves into Aquarius at 9:24 PM
When the moon is in Aquarius, there’s a certain energy that’s palpable in the air. It’s an urge to shake things up. We’re highly social, but in a more abstract, cerebral kind of way. If you’ve been feeling mired in your own emotions lately, Aquarius can feel like a relief. It allows us to stand back, view things objectively, and create a new plan of action.
Aquarius is the sign of the visionary, so expect those intuitive hits to keep on coming. Your mind may be blown more than once over the next two days. This transit also has us wanting to connect with everybody and learn from the experiences of others. Humanitarian thoughts and plans become something of a preoccupation. We can start to see our places in the world as a whole, and can focus on the evolution of humankind.
On the flip side, it’s possible that this Aquarian energy can make you feel like retreating into your own little world. That’s okay too. We all need to recharge once in a while.
