The Storm

Moon Trine Mercury (12 AM)

The Moon excites Mercury overnight, giving it plenty of energy to become the charismatic communicator it loves to be in Leo. We receive this energy and become inspired to tell our stories, integrating our emotional experiences in captivating ways.

Venus Opposite Moon (5 AM)

While Venus may be content in her own sign of Libra, she is not so happy about the Moon traveling through Aries, ruled by her counterpart Mars. Normally granting appeal, Venus today instead grants us misunderstanding and misperception in our efforts to reach out to others. Take things slow and pay attention when people recoil or rebuff your affections!

Mars Square Moon (6 PM)

The day’s energy concludes with a square between hyperfocused Mars and the impulsive Moon. This combination creates further tension in relationships, and we tend to resist our empathy and instead focus on defending our positions. There’s really no time for this– let these things go and revisit conflict when you are really ready to listen.

Moon in Taurus (8 PM)

The Moon cools down significantly when she moves into earthy Taurus. In this sign, the Moon helps us focus on the pragmatic parts of our lives, and reminds us to slow down and connect to the natural world around us.
