More Of Today’s Forecast

The drop off after yesterday's Full Moon excitement is notable. A quieter, more introverted side of the Pisces Moon is apparent. Time spent alone, tackling personal chores, reading or just relaxing and whiling away the day, is hugely appealing. Walks down memory lane can stir hearts and minds. For other folks, dreaming of the future is alluring. Parks and other summer hot spots are good places to indulge appetites and be inspired. A late night lunar alignment with Saturn inclines some folks to get busy and diligently prepare for the work week or an upcoming vacation. Moon in Pisces.

The waxing Capricorn Moon's late morning square to excitable Uranus generates plenty of nervous energy, and with good reason. Schedules may change.

A gritty Capricorn Moon supports getting ahead in the material world, and more. There are also emotional as well as spiritual and artistic dimensions to investigate today. Awareness of the connections between people and other living creatures, things, the impact we have on the Earth and one another can lead to healing changes. More equitable and sustainable relationships are possible but change begins within. Feelings follow thoughts. The perception of outer circumstances reflects one's inner consciousness.

The Moon arrives in Sagittarius and moods brighten. New hopes are born and a pleasant evening follows. Moon in Scorpio v/c 3:31PM-4:41PM Moon enters Sagittarius.

While the early morning hours bring an innate sense of knowing, the Leo Sun's square to Saturn, today's major alignment, precipitates numerous obstacles. Delays afford time for reassessing priorities and needs. Thoughtful analysis is always a good idea but it's particularly appropriate now. Some "reality checks" are humbling. Fears and worries can loom large. Actual responsibilities could increase or it may just feel as though they are growing more burdensome. Consider dreams, ambitions and long range plans.

Experienced elders and history can be instructive. Moon in Scorpio, Sun square Saturn.

Moon in Libra v/c 10:56PM-12:00AM, Venus trine Uranus.

The Moon is in Libra, making many folks naturally more sensitive to the needs of partners and associates. However, co-dependent behavior can get on others' nerves over the course of the day. You can't expect to make everyone happy or meet every need that arises. This will be increasingly apparent during the afternoon when the Moon tests Pluto. Kindness can be misplaced, unappreciated or ineffectual. Because partnering is always a two way street, willing participation and cooperation are required from all members in a healthy relationship. It may be necessary to cut ties with an uncooperative or abusive partner. Don't deny the obvious. Say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done. Moon in Libra.

The start of the work week gets ample assistance from the industrious Virgo Moon and dutiful Saturn.

Those who happen to be flying solo tonight might consider buying an elegant item for a special someone. Moon in Virgo v/c 1:16PM-4:23PM Moon enters Libra.

The now waxing crescent Moon continues on her path through diligent Virgo. Relaxing may not be a first choice option. Many folks feel actively inclined to make things ship shape this morning.

Shoppers at flea markets and yard sales can acquire interesting items, and at good prices. Health conscious living is promoted by the Moon's placement in the discriminating sign of the harvest. Make time today for the pillars of good health; exercise, rest, relax and eat well. Moon in Virgo.

The Leo Sun overtakes retrograde Venus today and the possibilities are tantalizing. Long ago friends and sweethearts may reunite. Conversations can have unusual depth and provide meaningful, perhaps transformative insights. Realizations into one's own personal history or the forces that molded partners are facilitated by Mercury's late afternoon trine with Pluto. Be sure to emphasize the positive aspects, how you've grown, what you've learned and how deeply you feel. As evening falls a relaxed mood takes over.

Live large, and passionately. Make social plans. Reconnect with old loves or rekindle the spark that launched an ongoing relationship. Good vibes dominate into early afternoon.

The Leo Sun forms an early morning trine to Uranus, the visionary and altruistic planet of new inventions, egalitarian ideals and social unity. The trine raises hopes and some folks have actual visions of the future. Somewhat ironically, this is also the final full day of the lunar cycle, not the time for new beginnings or getting ahead of yourself. The lunar energy is actually far more appropriate for wrapping up projects. You may want to keep today's bright ideas under wraps for now. There will be more auspicious indicators for putting plans in motion tomorrow. Moon in Leo, Sun trine Uranus.

Take pride and comfort in capably dispensing with routine business, attending to the needs of family members and learning from experience. A midday or early afternoon meeting with your parent, boss or other authority figure can be fruitful. However, mental Mercury's opposition to Neptune raises the possibility of a confounding miscommunication. Avoid trouble by carefully reviewing all facts, timelines and assignments. Details do matter. Avoid taking unnecessary risks. On the other hand, moments of inspiration and apparent divine intervention may also be in the works. A few quiet afternoon hours are followed by the Leo Moon's conjunction with fiery Mars late tonight. Hook up with frisky playmates and make a party.

Technological gadgetry adds to the fun. The good vibes continue into the late night hours as the Moon settles into a comfortable alignment with Venus, the planet of love, affection and pleasure.

This is a low key, low energy day. The waning Gemini Moon edges into a late afternoon square with dreamy Neptune. The angle sees many folks feeling lazy.

An earthy Taurus Moon fosters a sense of tranquility during the daytime hours. Come evening, the action picks up. A quick flurry of lunar aspects animates tonight's social scene but when the Moon opposes Saturn, enthusiasm is dampened and fatigue can suddenly be a limiting factor. Avoid pushing boundaries with partners or burning the candle at both ends. Moon in Taurus, Mercury conjunct Jupiter, Mercury enters Virgo.
