Lunar oppositions with Mercury and Jupiter find waking eyes looking at a bright future. The early morning auspices are excellent for beginning a day trip or more serious international travel expedition. However, the Pisces Moon is soon sailing void of course and momentum may fade before noon. The laid back atmosphere is fine for enjoying a meandering summer day, but not much else.

Don’t be surprised if you’re still wondering about yesterday’s events. This morning’s stars prompt lots of speculation but give few definitive answers. An exceptionally inspired idea may also surface during the early morning when the Pisces Moon passes by mystical Neptune. As midday approaches moods become more pragmatic. The lunch hour and early afternoon are well-suited for a private conversation. Deals may be struck, and bargains found. Enjoy life, but hold the line on spending and people-pleasing.

Full Moon Fever is upon us, and with tomorrow’s Full Moon in visionary Aquarius eclipsed by the Earth’s shadow, there are some things to keep in mind. One, Full Moons tend to bring excitement and emotional instability. Two, eclipses can be revelatory and sometimes disruptive. Three, things begun the week before an eclipse rarely proceed as planned.

Feedback from others can be invaluable, and unity of purpose, unstoppable. Moon In Aquarius, Venus trine Pluto.

“Love me tender” crooned Elvis and, with Venus standing in opposition to Neptune, more than one romantic heart will flutter before this day is through. The opposition has a spiritual side, too, as we are here on this Earth to grow through love. Serving others is another key component of this configuration. Some folks will discover that the more they give, the more they have. But choose your companions and gifts wisely. Saturn tests both stars, and affections may or may not be mutually felt.

In a brilliantly-timed move Saturn turns direct this morning with Venus in an exact square to the ringed planet. Fortunately, the Leo Sun and Sagittarius Moon are in harmony. With mixed signals from the Cosmos expect some relationships to hit the rocks while others sail blissfully on. In either case, it’s time to be realistic. If you must criticize, be sure your comments are constructive. Deepen ties or end them. Midday revelations cast many people and situations in a rosy light but don’t rush to judgment. Some hopes may be unfounded, as a lunar square to Jupiter feeds fanciful thinking. By mid-afternoon the Moon is void of course and the now low-key day begins to slowly drift along.

Besides the usual TGIF push to finish up the work week on a high note and make ready for the weekend, the Cosmos serves up an additional “wipe the slate clean” incentive. Saturn is about to end a retrograde that started back in March. The Lord of Karma has been adrift in philosophical Sagittarius. As the stern planet prepares to resume forward motion, a re-evaluation of recent political trends, facts, laws, and principles, as well as personal priorities, is appropriate. The point is driven home this morning. The waxing Moon is conjunct Saturn but their testing lunar angle with Neptune complicates matters. Boundaries may be blurred, obligations unclear. It could take longer than expected to review rules and commitments and come up with a new game plan. Be thorough, and patient. Moon in Sagittarius.

There’s not much of consequence happening this morning. The Scorpio Moon is void of course and as a result, some folks are pensive. As you deal with routine tasks, pay attention to “inner space.” How are you feeling? Notice the quality of your thoughts. Self-awareness is the first step to making any needed change. An hour or so after noon the Moon ventures into Sagittarius. Attention sharpens and energy levels pick up. As the Moon nears fiery Mars, outsized opinions are more forcefully expressed. Some folks thirst for an adventure. Control your passions. Revealing too much information in the heat of the moment can have a long term negative impact on a personal or professional relationship.

Make sure everyone goes home feeling satisfied and happy. It’s well within the realm of possibility. Moon in Scorpio, First Quarter Moon in Scorpio 2:21PM, Mercury trine Pluto.

By daybreak the Moon is firmly ensconced in Scorpio. Sometimes known for boosting privacy urges, today’s Scorpio Moon promotes sociability and kindness.

Re-entry into workplace routines can be awkward, a case of the Monday morning blues. The Libra Moon forms an opposition with freedom-loving Uranus.

Take a deep breath. Relax your shoulders and your over-active mind. Make necessary adjustments. Give others space. The Moon’s void of course period extends from the early afternoon opposition with Uranus all the way until midnight. This second half of the day is calmer, and a better time to get back in synch with colleagues. Moon in Libra v/c 1:41PM-12:00AM.

Mercury opposes Neptune just after midday, a fine omen for dreamers, artists, psychics and empaths. Don’t judge or analyze, just trust those first impressions. However, don’t throw caution entirely to the wind. The Cosmos could take you for a costly ride via a flim-flam man or other pied piper. Neptune can also be confusing, or deceptive. It’s smart to keep a watchful eye on valuable items and steer away from risky proposals. The Libra Moon helps sustain a balanced perspective on life. However, relationships could feel strained during the early evening but disagreements are likely to be minor, and short-lived. Optimism gathers strength as the evening hours pass. Moon in Libra, Mercury opposite Neptune.

Thank the void of course Virgo Moon for any chance to better your health this morning. If possible pamper yourself, and get some extra rest and relaxation time. There are also competing agendas.

From the start today focus on key chores, paperwork and communications. The dutiful Virgo Moon is conjunct mental Mercury. The paired stars are also testing Mars, Saturn and Neptune. Powers of observation are heightened but don’t let worries, criticism or the needs of others keep you from getting on with personal goals. Afternoon conferences and meetings can be fruitful, but remain vigilant and quick to deflect any deflating thoughts or other interference. If you must attend to a needy acquaintance wait until evening. Even then, I recommend operating within clear guidelines. Set limits as far as what can be done for others. Some folks are feeling lost and hopeless but must find their own way home. Moon in Leo v/c 12:13AM-3:34AM Moon enters Virgo.

Expect a double dose of fun while the Sun and Moon pass through playful Leo. With the Moon heading towards a liberating trine to Uranus, life is anything but dull.

Break free from workplace responsibilities and other humdrum routines and try new things. Visit a new to you locale or cafe. Hobnob with pals and the good times will increase exponentially. A pending post-midnight lunar conjunction with Venus inspires artists, musicians, lovers and dreamers. Follow the fancies of your heart, and think big. Moon in Leo.

Night owls are enjoyably entertained by friends and eccentric new acquaintances. The early morning hours continue to see good times roll as the Cancer Moon sextiles the ‘anything is possible’ planet of optimism and good fortune, Jupiter. Be prepared to adjust schedules during the late morning. Slow down and safeguard irreplaceable data. Gritty resolve takes hold after noon. A solar trine to Saturn and a lunar trine to Mars keep the day on a productive track. However, bear in mind we are at the end of the lunar cycle so focus on completing projects rather than starting them. Moon in Cancer v/c 8:44PM-9:12PM Moon enters Leo, Venus trine Uranus, Sun trine Saturn.

Lazing on a Sunday morning could scarcely be more delightful. The Cancer Moon forms a beautiful trine aspect with nebulous Neptune, the planet of dreams, ideals and fantasies.

Breakfast chefs create masterpieces. Nature lovers will certainly hear the call of wild places. Occultists can experience extra deep meditative states.

Strap yourself in for the ride. Today has its challenges. Confusion is likely during the morning as the Moon tests Saturn and Neptune. Doubts multiply and insecurities can feel overwhelming. Mental Mercury’s square with Mars adds other reasons for apprehension. Logic may not solve thorny problems. Words are sharp-edged and can easily be taken the wrong way. If you’re trying to attain something, a position or winning an argument for example, make sure you’re not trying too hard. In the end you may win the prize but lose something or someone of far greater value. To top off the day’s challenges, unpredictable Uranus embarks on a lengthy retrograde late this afternoon. The earth may shake, along with other surprising developments. Moon in Gemini, Mercury square Mars, Uranus retrograde.

There’s danger of making a series of morning missteps. With the Taurus Moon at odds with Mercury and Mars, hearts and minds can easily be in a state of disconnect. Actions taken are unlikely to have the desired effect. Don’t make assumptions. Involving others in planning and work is a good way to minimize potential trouble. From late morning until early afternoon the Moon is void of course. Use this time period to rest, gather strength and regroup. Once the Moon reaches Gemini the afternoon gains new life but trends remain tricky. Don’t take anyone or anything for granted. The Cosmos has surprises in store. Moon in Taurus v/c 11:13AM-2:17PM Moon enters Gemini.
