Monday
Around breakfast time, the moon in Taurus forms a square with Mars in Aquarius, putting us on edge. We have had a big, productive day, and now we may feel a little cranky and irritable. Your loved ones may say that you are being argumentative when you feel like you are merely defending the things that you feel passionately about. You may find it helpful to take a step back, and assess your feelings before trying to communicate with your loved ones again.
About twenty minutes later, the moon forms a sextile with Jupiter in Pisces. This placement is giving us an optimistic outlook. We are reveling in our popularity and success. We feel beautiful from the inside out and appreciate all the beauty around us. Now is a great time to build upon the intentions we set and the plans we made earlier. It is also a good time to spread the love around, and direct your energy towards philanthropic causes.
A short time later, the moon forms a square with Saturn in Aquarius. Under this square, we feel incredibly restricted. We may feel embittered and unsatisfied with our current situation. We feel secretive and find it difficult to be truthful with our loved ones. At this time, we may be filled with an intense sense of melancholy. A little alone time and mental rest may be beneficial. But it may also be helpful to reach out and talk to someone when you feel ready.
A couple hours later, the moon forms a sextile with Neptune who is at home in Pisces. Under this sextile, our spiritual life flourishes. Taurus and Pisces work together to give us a fertile imagination. We feel a tremendous amount of empathy at this moment, and this empathy can inspire our creativity. Now is a great time to utilize our artistic talents to create something that can inspire others.
As the sun sets, the moon forms a trine with Pluto in Capricorn. Under this trine, we are experiencing a myriad of complex emotions. We may feel a bit restless at this time. We have a strong need for adventure. It may be fun to plan a day trip. Do what you need to satiate your adventurous desires.
Later, the moon forms a square with Venus in Aquarius. Under this square, the flirtatious nature of both of these signs is inhibited. We may be trying to force passion into our relationship rather than letting it happen naturally. We may need to step back and give our partner some space. As cliche as it might sound, absence really can make the heart grow fonder.
As we get ready for bed, the moon moves into inquisitive Gemini. Under this moon, our mental faculties are greatly enhanced. We are curious and receptive. We have a strong desire for new experiences. Lunar Gemini encourages us to communicate and learn from others.

After a busy day yesterday, the moon is taking a break. No lunar transits today.

This morning the sun in Aries forms a sextile with the moon in Gemini. Under this sextile, there is decent communication between masculine and feminine energies. We are eager to see and treat our fellow human beings as equals. We have a great sense of belonging at this time. Our loved ones are ready and willing to help us with whatever we need.
Later, the moon forms a sextile with Mercury in Aries. Under this sextile, we are capable and discerning. With our newfound self-confidence and awareness, we are more open-minded than ever. Thanks to our communicative abilities, we are able to engage more effectively with those around us. Use your openness to heed the thoughts and needs of others.
A few hours later, the moon forms a trine with Saturn. Under this trine, we see things clearly and tackle our goals with a great level of dedication and care. We feel organized and responsible. There is a desire to sort out our space as well as our thoughts. We are setting our intentions with care and consideration. There is no immediate rush to see our plans come to fruition. We are happy to take methodical and deliberate steps toward achieving our goals.
Twenty minutes later, the moon forms a square with Jupiter. Under this square, conflict may arise in many facets of our lives. We may find ourselves at odds with others and pick fights with everyone around us. We may be careless with our resources as well as our health. Be mindful of alcohol and caffeine, because our livers are especially vulnerable.
Around bedtime, the moon forms a square with Neptune. Under this placement, we are passive and anxious. We may feel extra sensitive and can be easily hurt by the words and actions of those around us. This hypersensitivity can lead us to direct our insecurities inward. We may be unkind and dishonest with ourselves. At times like this, self-care is very important.
Almost thirty minutes later, the moon forms a trine with Mars. Under this trine, we are endowed with great physical and mental energy. Aquarius gives us newfangled ideas, while Libra enhances our adaptability. You may have struggled with hardships recently, but you are pushing through and persevering. The wind is in our sails and nothing can get in your way.
Thursday
Right before noon, the moon finds its home in cozy Cancer. Cancer is a water sign and water seeks its own level. Like Cancer, we also yearn for home and seek our own level. The moon governs our emotions, and during this lunar reunion, we are empathetic and in touch with our own needs and feelings. Now is a wonderful time to curl up in bed with a good book to read or show to binge-watch. We can unwind with a home-cooked meal or a nice, long bath. Under this moon, it is okay to be a homebody.
Later in the afternoon, the moon forms a trine with Venus in Pisces. Under this trine, we are open to the idea of love and marriage. We are considerate of our partners’ emotions and desires. We are able to anticipate and adapt to each others’ needs. Our cheery disposition and attitude have a positive effect on everyone around us. We are present and ready to help our loved ones with any task, big or small. Peace is our main priority at this time and we avoid conflict to the best of our ability.
Friday
Around lunchtime, the moon forms a sextile with Uranus in Taurus. This sextile grants us ambition and a can-do attitude. We are more than happy to help out with projects, both at work and at home. Thanks to our pragmatic sensibilities, we are able to persuade others easily to our way of thinking. We also may have a great desire to travel at this time. We crave a bit of freedom and are curious to see what the world has to offer. It may be time to plan a small getaway or take a day trip
