Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home! Do you find yourself whispering “I want to go home,” more than usual? Cancer may have something to do with that. Today, the moon forms a conjunction with Mercury, enhancing our drive and ambition. Later, the moon moves into Cancer, making us yearn for home and security. Then, the moon forms a trine with Jupiter, allowing us to achieve social accolades. Finally, Venus forms a square with Uranus, making us inconsistent and lascivious.
The Moon Is Conjunct Mercury at 12:20 AM
Right after midnight, the moon in capable Gemini forms a twinning conjunction with Mercury who is also in Gemini. Under this conjunction, we have a great mind for business. We are alert and the wheels are constantly turning in our heads.
Whether we are starting a new business/project, or maintaining a current one, we use great discernment when making crucial decisions. At this time, preparation is of the utmost importance. Set aside some time to write out your plans.
The Moon Moves into Cancer at 9:49 AM
Around breakfast time, 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. Earlier this morning, we were ambitious and business-minded. But now, rest and a sense of belonging are at the forefront of our minds.
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.
The Moon Is Trine Jupiter at 1:14 AM
In the afternoon, the moon in Cancer forms a trine with Jupiter in empathetic Pisces. This is a special placement because both planets are in their home constellations. Under this trine, we achieve personal success.
At this time, we are optimistic and well-liked. We do not let our popularity get to our heads. We enjoy the attention with grace and sincerity. Compassionate Cancer and empathetic Pisces work together to bring forth our philanthropic tendencies. These watery signs may also awaken our artistic desires.
Venus Is Square Uranus at 4:07 AM
Later in the day, Venus in conceited Leo forms a square with Uranus in uncompromising Taurus. Under this square, we have romantic feelings but those feelings are tinged with more negative emotions.
There is a lot of passion in this transit. Venus governs our values, particularly in regards to romance and luxury. Leo brings about flirtatious and self-centered energy. Taurus, which is normally ruled by Venus, simultaneously endows us with devotion and hedonism. This all may sound like a party, but when these celestial bodies square off, expect turmoil.
At this time, we crave independence as much as we crave romance. These dueling desires can cause heartbreak and loneliness. If you must indulge in these proclivities, a safe, (emphasis on “safe”) and casual fling may be just the thing you need.
