After an initial rush of enthusiastic ideas, life settles into a rather ho hum atmosphere. Mercury’s late-morning arrival in Sagittarius sparks flights of fancy and the occasional soliloquy, but words may be more of a wishful nature than of substance.

Creature comforts are soothing but night owls do well to mind their words. Moon in Aries v/c 7:45am-9:24pm Moon enters Taurus, Mercury enters Sagittarius.

The morning is when idealism is strongest. Pragmatists have their say later in the day. It’s always okay to have dreams. Implementing them is the next crucial step and while this evening’s lunar square to Saturn dampens enthusiasm for some, it can inspire others to double their efforts.

Respect the right of partners to make choices and have priorities that differ from your own. Temper angry impulses and impatience, as well as competitive urges.
