It’s always a good day when Cancer finds her way back to her lunar home. Today, after forming an expressive lunar trine with Mercury, the moon moves into Cancer. This transit can make us sentimental and sensitive to the needs of others as well as our own. Later, a half-moon may cause us emotional and physical discomfort, but hopefully, we will be in bed by then.
The Moon Is Trine Mercury at 12:16 AM
While we slept, the moon in studious Gemini formed a trine with Mercury in Libra. Under this trine, we are open-minded and willing to learn. Our minds are sharp and our speech is clear.
The moon rules our emotions and when it resides in Gemini, we are intellectually independent. We think for ourselves and do our own research rather than blindly believing what we are told. On the other side of the trine, Mercury rules our communication and when Libra takes over, we are unbiased in our speech and easily charm those around us with diplomacy
At this time, we can easily influence others with our charisma and leadership qualities. However, it is important that we wield this power with great discernment. We want to keep our influence a positive one.
The Moon Moves into Cancer at 9:31 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. The moon governs our emotions, and during this lunar reunion, we are empathetic and in touch with our own needs and feelings. Earlier, we were ambitious and sociable. 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 Sun Is Square the Moon at 9:55 PM
As we get ready for bed, the sun in Libra forms a square with the moon in Cancer. As earthlings, we hate to see our celestial parents fight. Under this half-moon, we can face many obstacles in our personal and professional lives. We may feel uncomfortable in our own skin and around others. This discomfort can lead to public disputes.
Since we are particularly susceptible to health issues at this time, we may find it helpful to take a mental health day and let ourselves unwind.
