More Of Today’s Forecast

The early morning First Quarter Moon in Pisces contributes to a restless night. Roiled waters soon calm but the new day begins under a lunar square with dour Saturn, not the best omen for smooth or fast starts. Be patient and focus on essentials. By mid-morning the Moon is void of course. Many folks feel uninspired and performance may suffer. As is usually the case with the Moon void of course, things are said but follow-up action may be lacking. Take what you hear and see with a grain of salt. If possible, do not begin new projects. Instead, explore and follow the longings of your heart and imagination. Creative inspiration may strike at any moment. On a lighter note, Venus arrives in friendly Aquarius this morning, a plus for congenial holiday social events. First Quarter Moon in Pisces 4:03am, Moon in Pisces v/c 9:05am-12:00am, Venus enters Aquarius.

The late afternoon may see some folks overwhelmed by emotions. Keep a tissue or hanky close at hand. The same forces could occasion an epiphany or grand inspiration.

The resulting absence of energy can present challenges, especially for those with big ideas, grand plans and pressing needs. As is usually the case under a void of course Moon, promises may be made but not fulfilled. Scale back expectations and concentrate on improving existing plans and ties.

More supportive energies arrive shortly before midnight when the Moon enters Pisces. The sign change is a Cosmic green light to proceed with greater assurance. Moon in Aquarius v/c 6:23am-11:31pm Moon enters Pisces.

A mellow day during the holiday season is indeed a gift from the heavens. Enjoy this one. The Aquarius Moon forms but one exact aspect, a soothing afternoon sextile with the Sagittarius Sun. These are the two most freedom-loving signs so don’t be surprised to feel the lure of the open road or some other far away, exotic destination. Harmony between the sexes may be notable but in truth each one of us is being granted an opportunity to be at peace within our selves. Share your contentment, faith and optimism with family, friends and strangers on the street. Sporting contests and games of chance provide great enjoyment. Hopefulness and good cheer increase as the evening hours grow late, another good period for stimulating conversations. Moon in Aquarius.

After overtaking Venus in the predawn darkness, the Capricorn Moon goes void of course.

By mid-morning the sluggish mood caused by the void of course Moon is undeniable. Relax and go with the flow. Mid-afternoon sees the Moon arrive in Aquarius and the ambience changes.

Alternate points of view and pointed humor help defuse tensions at midday but indecision can soon become problematic. Mental Mercury enters Capricorn as the Sun sinks low in the sky.

Cue up the casual weekend vibe and party with friends tonight. Moon in Capricorn, Mercury enters Capricorn.

With the Moon, Pluto and Venus visiting industrious Capricorn, most folks are eager and willing to get down to business. A little extra time spent rounding up the team and reviewing the playbook is time well spent.

The Sun’s square to Neptune makes its presence felt later in the day. If you’re traveling check weather reports. Scrupulously try to anticipate and clear up any misunderstandings.

Applying time-honored wisdom teachings to day-to-day affairs as well as seasonal festivities is a recurring theme in the coming weeks.

On more practical levels, household chores, errands and shopping jaunts are likely to include supportive family members and helpful friends. There are good times afoot and bargains to be found.

During the wee hours of the morning the waning Moon enters Scorpio. Subconscious motives and powerful memories may permeate dreams as well as the waking hours today. In a curious contrast Mercury is trine Uranus. This aspect provides great foresight as intuitive hunches more easily intrude on thought processes. If your morning includes a wild hunch or great inspiration, by all means, follow it through. Uranus’ reputation as “the great awakener” is well deserved. Calming forces are in play tonight. A lunar trine to Neptune encourages lovers, artists and empaths. The night’s entertainment may easily include movies and other performance arts. More memories are likely to be triggered so keep a hanky handy. Moon in Libra v/c 12:00am-3:01am Moon enters Scorpio, Mercury trine Uranus.

In a world beset by endless changes and uncertainties, love has been known to cure illnesses, overcome fear and break down artificial and arbitrary boundaries. The early morning hours can see the power of love boggle minds thanks to Venus’ annual conjunction with Pluto. However, be wary of emphatic affection that comes with strings attached. The deepest and truest love is unconditional. A lunar opposition with Uranus requires patience and good improvisational skills. It may take a detour and extra time to get to work. The Libra Moon goes void of course by mid-morning, giving way to a mellower and far less stressful afternoon. Dream of the future but stick to basic chores and responsibilities.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. The Libra Moon works to preserve harmony as she overtakes gracious Jupiter. An afternoon lunar trine with Mars fosters friendship but other testing angles during the evening arouse sensitivities. A patronizing tone can be offensive to some. Don’t step on anyone’s toes tonight. Gratitude and cheerful demeanors win in the end. Moon in Libra, Jupiter square Pluto.

During the morning and into early afternoon a void of course Virgo Moon creates a listless atmosphere. Mercury’s midday conjunction with Saturn is a stern reminder, even if you face travel delays or other obstacles be practical and don’t worry about the things you cannot control.

Partners see eye to eye as evening nears. Dinnertime conversations are frank, instructive and enjoyable. Moon in Virgo v/c 12:00am-2:42pm Moon enters Libra.

The Sun slides into Sagittarius this afternoon and the traditional holiday party season is on!

Kindly impulses and good intentions may require more time, money and energy than imagined. Poor planning can be expensive. Double-check facts and keep a close eye on key items. Loving vibes sweep in in time for midnight. An “unrealistic” plan may turn out to be not so far fetched after all.

Trust your gut hunches. It’s an auspicious time to invent, be spontaneous, try new things and mingle with friends. The pace slows during the late afternoon. The Sun is preparing to exit Scorpio so there could be some loose ends that require tying up. Get ready for the busy week ahead. Check travel plans, shopping lists and other arrangements.

One key to defusing tensions and being productive is welcoming input from partners. Emphasize cooperation tonight. Moon in Cancer.

We face another long void of course Moon period today, persisting from early morning until evening. With the disengaged Moon in fickle Gemini, expect a lot of noncommittal answers and bouts of indecision. Writers and thinkers who can abandon themselves in stream of consciousness explorations may find their essential creative voice. When it comes to business and practical matters, resist any temptation to force a solution, enter into a long term commitment or buy a big ticket item. A pending square aspect between Mercury and Neptune increases the risk of making a costly mistake. Tonight’s entry of the Moon into Cancer sounds a call for a return to the nest. Enjoy the simple pleasures and familiar comforts of home and family. Moon in Gemini v/c 5:57am-7:57pm Moon enters Cancer.

Here comes some good energy. Mental Mercury is nicely aligned with fiery Mars. The lively midday sextile between the two stars fosters decisive, visionary thinking. It also helps bring friends together and facilitates travel. The day does have its challenges. The Gemini Moon is at odds with both Neptune and Saturn, which gives plenty of opportunities for either a mistake or an oversight. Before heading off to the races be sure to double-check routes, facts, schedules and meeting times. However, challenges pale in comparison to the day’s potential. This evening the Moon is also in a trine with optimistic Jupiter. A hunch could pay off big time. Just be careful not to overextend yourself, and when fatigue hits tonight, honor your physical limitations. Moon in Gemini, Mercury sextile Mars.

This morning’s Full “Beaver” Moon in Taurus underscores the importance of wise wealth management. Partners benefit from planning together and learning to negotiate and compromise on nettlesome details. As working hours begin the Moon goes on vacation, starting a void of course period that lasts until evening. As a result Full Moon fallout may seem to swirl over the day’s activities. Inertia may be hard to overcome. Final decisions can be elusive. Play for time if you feel an issue is unresolved. Don’t make big commitments or purchases. Tonight sees the Moon enter Gemini. Minds and senses grow more alert but irrational feelings compete with logical thinking. Don’t rush into a commitment. A late week angle between mental Mercury and Neptune raises false hopes and suggests further fact finding will be necessary. Full “Beaver” Moon in Taurus 8:52am, Moon in Taurus v/c 8:52am-8:23pm Moon enters Gemini.
