Three conjunctions, two oppositions, and a lunar square have us down in the dumps today. Scorpio is making us edgy and that irritability is enhanced by the new moon. Obstinate Taurus isn’t helping much either. At least we have the weekend to look forward to.
The Moon Is Conjunct Mars at 1:56 AM
In the wee hours of the morning, the moon in Scorpio forms a conjunction with Mars also in Scorpio. Under this conjunction, we feel on edge and irritable.
Mars rules our instincts and defenses. When coupled with an envious lunar Scorpio, our vindictive nature can get the better of us. We must be mindful of these tendencies or else we can become argumentative, or in the worst cases, violent. Exercise and meditation can aid in our stress relief since this transit can cause emotional and physical tension.
The Moon Is Square Saturn at 8:45 AM
Around breakfast time, the moon in Scorpio forms a square with Saturn in temperamental Aquarius. Under this placement, we find it difficult to hold onto the optimism we felt earlier in the day. When a water sign squares off with an air sign it can give us an icy demeanor. We may feel depressed or unsatisfied with our current situation. We may also find it difficult to express our true feelings, as Aquarius could make us standoffish. Meanwhile, Scorpio may cause us to be distrustful of those around us. This lack of trust could create a rift between us and our romantic and professional partners.
The Sun Is Conjunct the Moon at 5:18 PM
In the early evening, the sun in Scorpio forms a conjunction with the moon in Scorpio, creating an unpredictable new moon. Under this lunation, we are on edge and easily agitated. We may experience intense mood swings. This new moon may cause friction with our loved ones. Arguments with our friends and family may occur. We may feel restless, and struggle to find our peace of mind.
At this time, it may be beneficial to find some quiet solitude. We may find peace in meditation. Or it may be wise to take a personal day.
The Moon Is Opposite Uranus at 5:32 PM
Just a few minutes later, the moon in Scorpio forms an opposition with Uranus in obstinate Taurus. Under this opposition, we are fanatical and easily irritated. Our moods may change rapidly and we may have trouble adapting to unforeseen circumstances. When Uranus shakes things up, we can feel like we have been thrown off our course.
Scorpio’s overly intense sensuality and Taurus’ tenacity may cause conflict with our partners. We feel particularly eccentric and our idiosyncrasies may alienate the ones we love. We may need time to gather our thoughts so that we may effectively communicate with our loved ones.
The Sun Is Opposite Uranus at 8:47 PM
Later, the sun in Scorpio forms an opposition with Uranus in Taurus. Under this opposition, we are overwhelmed with anxiety and irritability. Scorpio is enhancing our insecurity and giving us a nasty case of imposter syndrome. We may also feel particularly stubborn when confronted with conflict. These two rather passionate signs can cause us to be impatient and extra demanding of our romantic and platonic relationships. This irritation may cause rifts with our loved ones.
A little isolation may help you at this time. Take a step back and collect your thoughts and emotions before acting impulsively.
