Tension & Resolution
Venus Square Mars
While the Moon is very active today, the biggest show in the skies today is the Venus & Mars square off. Neither planet is very well-behaved, and this wreaks havoc on relationships, causing us to avoid compromise, become more cruel, and toss ethics aside. In the end, we are dealing with internal issues in ways that negatively impact others, and this makes us realize we have to have more self-love and healing so we don’t take these issues out on others unfairly.
Moon Sextile Venus (8 AM)
You may not notice the Venus/Mars Square right away, as the morning starts off with a graceful sextile to Venus from the Moon. This brings playful and creative energy, and sets a tone of gratitude toward others (that unfortunately may not last very long).
Moon in Virgo (9 AM, lasts a couple days)
Leaving Leo, the Moon makes its way into a new sign of Virgo. This calms things down for us a bit, as the Moon relishes the cool, earthy energy of this sign. The Moon in Virgo can sometimes make us more self-critical and anxious, but channeling that energy into productivity can be a good way to get things done while clearing your mind.
Grand Earth Trine: Uranus, Moon, Saturn (1 PM)
We are inspired mid-day with ideas on how to continue to use resources better, and become more efficient, thanks to the earthy Grand Trine with ingenious Uranus, efficient Virgo Moon, and focused Saturn. This carries some of the energy over from the previous day’s Grand Trine, and helps us keep the momentum going on our projects!
Moon Conjunct Mercury (6 PM)
Although quick Mercury entered Virgo a few days ago, it still invites the Moon to align, melding their energy into an even stronger, cooling, earth energy. You find this soothing in your relationships, helping you understand the needs of others and use your knowledge and expertise accordingly.
