This morning is going to be a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Right around midnight, Aries and Gemini filled us with a sense of determination and a no-nonsense attitude. A few hours later, that determination will turn into optimism as Aquarius helps us plan out the next step in achieving our goals.
Try to hold on to that optimism, because later Capricorn may fill us with an overwhelming sense of imposter syndrome. But worry not! Aries in a double placement will be back around breakfast time to serve up a fresh glass of artistry and appreciation. At noon, the moon will glide into Taurus, bringing with it a need for financial and familial stability.
The Moon Is Sextile Mars 11:04 PM
Right before the stroke of midnight, the moon in courageous Aries forms a sextile with Mars in resourceful Gemini. This placement gives us a renewed sense of determination. We feel active and motivated. We are setting intentions for ourselves. We may be undertaking a creative project, working towards a fitness goal, or setting off on a spiritual journey. Now is a great time to mentally list out the steps we must take to reach our current goal.
Under this sextile we feel very open. We have no time to beat around the bush. We want to hear the truth and we want to speak the truth. But be careful. Candor without consideration can come off as cruel.
The Moon Is Sextile Jupiter 3:34 AM
What a time to exist under such a brilliant constellation! In the early morning, the moon in vivacious Aries forms a sextile with Jupiter in compassionate Aquarius. 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. You can donate to your favorite charity or take part in some community outreach.
The Moon Is Square Pluto 6:08 AM
Later in the morning, the moon in Aries is square with Pluto in Capricorn. Anxiety-inducing Aries and passive-aggressive Capricorn have us feeling a little wobbly and imbalanced. We feel hypersensitive and agitated. We have a tendency to overthink and hurt our own feelings.
We find ourselves lost in daydreams, but these fantasies may be more woeful than wistful. We may be distracting ourselves by comparing ourselves to others. It is an easy trap to fall into, and one that each and every one of us has struggled with. It helps to focus on our own qualities and accomplishments.
The Moon Is Conjunct Venus 7:11 AM
Around breakfast time, the moon in Aries forms a conjunction with Venus, which is also in Aries. This placement fills us with a sympathetic and sanguine glow. The anxiety and self-deprecation we felt earlier are being quelled by the support we feel from a maternal figure.
The appreciation for beauty we felt earlier this morning is back in full force. We feel artistically inspired and inclined towards creative projects. Painting or poetry might help us navigate this morning’s emotional roller coaster.
The Moon Moves into Taurus at 12:47 PM
In the early afternoon, the moon is welcomed by practical and dependable Taurus. Under this taurine moon, our family and security are most important to us. In terms of financial matters, we feel the need to, if you’ll forgive the pun, take the bull by the horns. This moon fuels the need to preserve and increase monetary gain.
The need for financial stability is also driven by the desire to take care of your family. Your intentions are pure and understandable. Just remember to take a moment to enjoy time with your family. Maybe plan an outing or a game night. Stability is important, but quality time is paramount.
