As the moon dances away from Cancer and into Leo, we go from sensitive to sensational! Two lunar trines, an opposition, and a square have our emotions volleying from one extreme to the other. But by the time Leo takes over the glowing ball of cheese, we say “whatever” and let our self-confidence and sensuality thrive!
The Moon Is Trine Neptune at 3:59 AM
While we were sleeping, the moon was playing with a lot of water energy. The moon in Cancer is forming a trine with imaginative and empathetic Pisces. Yesterday was all about using your ambition to your fullest potential. Today is the day for reveling in your imagination and dreams. Because what is ambition without dreams?
With a heightened sense of empathy, you are enjoying being around other people today as well as yourself. You feel beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. You have an appreciation for the artistic vision of others, but you are basking in the glow of your own vision. Sit with your dreams today. Evaluate them. Let them speak to you. Let the spiritual water of Cancer, Neptune, and Pisces nourish your enthusiasm and imagination.
The Moon Is Trine Venus at 5:38 AM
A couple of hours later, the moon in Cancer forms a trine with Venus in Scorpio. Under this trine, our desires shift from creative to romantic. We extend a great amount of courtesy to our loved ones and we are able to easily adapt to their needs. We try to avoid conflict and have a strong desire to take care of our family and community. However, it is important that we remember to take care of ourselves as well.
The Moon Is Opposite Pluto at 9:39 AM
Around breakfast time, the moon, in an extremely emotional Cancer, moves in opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. This placement may cause you to feel like all your effort is not being appreciated or reciprocated. You may also feel stuck in a rut. These are hard feelings to sit with and you may be understandably disappointed or disheartened.
To counteract this dejected feeling you may turn to creature comforts, or you may indulge in things that bring you pleasure. It’s perfectly alright to distract yourself from the hurt every now and then. But be careful. Do not overindulge. Too much of anything is bad for you, and an over-dependence on pleasure can lead to physical, mental, and emotional illness.
The Moon Is Square Mercury at 10:42 AM
Later in the morning, the moon in Cancer forms a square with Mercury in resentful Libra. Under this square, we may not take full advantage of our talents or resources. Libra is filling us with self-pity, and this dour mood may result in us feeling self-conscious. This insecurity can hinder us from accepting constructive criticism. Meanwhile, Cancer is making us cynical and temperamental. Our minds may change rapidly.
At this time it may help to reflect on our own accomplishments. This reflection may help us build confidence in our decisions.
Venus Is Square Jupiter at 8:24 PM
This evening, Venus in Scorpio forms a square with Jupiter in Aquarius. Under this square, we may be emotionally negligent with our romantic partners. Our carelessness can cause a rift with our family and our loved ones. This distance can increase feelings of depression and dissatisfaction.
It may be beneficial to take some time for yourself to straighten out your thoughts. After this alone time, try checking in with those closest to you. Personal time may be important but so is communication.
The Moon Moves into Leo at 8:51 PM
Later, the moon moves into flamboyant Leo. Under this moon, we are overcome with self-confidence. We feel amorous. It is very easy to attract romantic partners at this time. We may have a casual fall “flirtationship.”
At this time, we feel extremely inspired. We may want to express ourselves in as many creative ways as possible. We feel very theatrical and have the desire to perform in front of others. Don’t hold back! Find a stage and demand your spotlight.
