A compliment or thoughtful gesture could easily be mistaken for something more than intended.

The gibbous Virgo Moon slips into void of course mode well before the start of this work day. However, with the exact full Moon less than forty-eight hours away, most folks will hardly miss a beat. Two very favorable planetary alignments help keep minds sharp and spirits and hopes up. First, mental Mercury makes a morning trine to Saturn, the planet of practical necessities. After noon the Aries Sun forms a heart-stirring trine to Jupiter. The motivating mix of celestial energies helps sustain a steady and productive pace. All the same, it's best to stay cautious when it comes to major purchases and decisions. A lunar eclipse accompanies Saturday's upcoming Full Moon so many things will not go as originally planned. Moon in Virgo v/c 5:01AM-12:00AM, Mercury trine Saturn, Sun trine Jupiter.

With the waxing Virgo Moon testing Neptune early, put practical jokes and other pranks on hold until after noon. Instead, pay extra close attention to your morning rituals and preparations for the day. Make sure keys, phones, papers and other necessities are where they need to be. Attune inwardly. Morning meditations, reveries and each of the six senses may be supernaturally enriched by the alignment. Because Virgo can be one of the Zodiac's kindest signs, jesting is likely to be good-natured and the healing power of laughter as well as a job well done is made more apparent by tonight's lunar trine with resilient Pluto. There's much to be gained today through persistence, cooperation, sympathy and gentle persuasion. Moon in Virgo.

A waxing but void of course Leo Moon holds sway over much of the day. As a result the morning hours feel lackadaisical and less than satisfying to many people. During the noon hour the day takes a dramatically different turn. First, fiery Mars enters earthy Taurus. Necessity spurs motivation and a stronger commitment to get one's worldly affairs in order. By early afternoon the Moon enters VIrgo where she compliments Mars via an enlivening trine aspect. Expect a boost in productivity during this period. An increase in earnings is also possible. The pace can be exhilarating. Fatigue sets in this evening due to a lunar square with Saturn. Don't burn your candle at both ends. Get your much needed and well-deserved rest. Moon in Leo v/c 12:00AM-2:12PM Moon enters Virgo, Mars enters Taurus.

A rush to please others offers some early morning gratification but know when enough has been said or done. There's just no pleasing some folks, no matter how far you put yourself out. The Leo Moon forms a brilliant late morning trine to Uranus and then goes void of course for the remainder of the day. The trine may occasion a flurry of activity, spur of the moment decision-making as well as some quirky alliances. By lunch time there's no mistaking it, the Moon is disengaged and events have slowed while moods have mellowed. With mental Mercury changing signs late tonight, put off decisions and costly financial outlays until tomorrow. When it comes to practical concerns, stay with tried and true routines. Of course, for artists and dreamers inner flights of fancy can be immensely creative and enjoyable. Moon in Leo v/c 9:57AM, Venus trine Pluto, Mercury enters Aries.

Today the playful Leo Moon activates a wondrous grand trine configuration in fire signs. Astrologically, this is a genuinely happy state of affairs, like winning a sweepstakes or lottery jackpot or watching fireworks on the 4th of July. The world seems bright and bursting with promise. Experience is a source of wisdom and confidence. Traditions are comforting. We understand the ways of the world. Good news may arrive at any time, even late tonight. The mysterious healing power of Love is also making its presence felt as Venus nears a potent trine to transformational Pluto. A kiss, caress, kind word or thoughtful deed can have far greater impact than you imagine. Moon in Cancer v/c 12:00AM-1:48AM Moon enters Leo.

Matters close to home and heart are naturally of greater concern while the Moon visits Cancer. Clean and spruce up your surroundings. Plan an improvement project. Spend time with family members and close friends or invite the neighbors over for an afternoon beverage. The PM is also a good time to make phone calls or send texts. Tonight's stars are prickly. The Moon is at odds with fiery Mars and tempers may flare. Give others permission to be themselves. Alone time can be beneficial for those feeling stressed out or impatient. Parties and other get togethers may fizzle out well before midnight as the Moon is sailing void of course. Retreat to the nest for late night resting and relaxing. Moon in Cancer v/c 9:58PM-12:00AM.

During the wee hours of the morning the First Quarter Moon in Cancer may contribute to a restless night. By dawn's light more tranquil vibrations are felt. Some hopes may be pinned on social plans for the coming weekend. Daytime relations are chummy. The Moon is in harmony with Venus, strengthening affectionate ties. The alignment is also good for beauty treatments and spa visits. Evening brings definite tensions. Opposing Pluto and squaring Uranus, the Moon can set off all kinds of flare-ups. Petty arguments are best nipped in the bud. Persist and the risk of serious damage to a friendship is quite real. Venus is also in a square to Jupiter, increasing the desire for fun but also the tendency to exaggerate. Moderation in all things is advisable. Moon in Cancer, First Quarter Moon in Cancer 3:43AM, Venus square Jupiter.

The early hours are filled with zest but then, before most folks report to work, the Gemini Moon goes void of course. Minds become unfocused and more easily distracted. Words are less convincing. For efficiency's sake, focus on handling routine matters. If you have time on your hands, indulge in creative thinking, writing or self-introspection. The void of course period ends during the mid-afternoon when the Moon enters Cancer and feelings and instincts grow stronger. Imaginations get busy. Trust your gut hunches. Low level angst can be a factor tonight. The clan oriented Moon is moving into a challenging position with the more independent Aries Sun. Try to strike a balance between caring for others and honoring your own personal needs. Moon in Gemini v/c 8:35AM-3:45PM Moon enters Cancer.

A stirring solar trine to Saturn as well as upbeat lunar aspects make this a very productive day. The morning begins under the Gemini Moon's sextile to optimistic Jupiter. Simply put, this is a good omen. It builds inner faith and confidence which in turn attracts "lucky" breaks and other, usually well-earned opportunities. An early afternoon lunar sextile to Uranus adds serendipitous encounters and innovative thinking to the day's proceedings. Ambitions are served by the previously mentioned trine between the Aries Sun and Saturn. A powwow with a boss or respected elder can be fruitful. Late night conversations can be tricky. The Moon is testing mental Mercury. Extra effort may be needed to describe complicated feelings and ideas. Moon in Gemini, Sun trine Saturn.

The wee hours of the morning may bring messages from the astral and spiritual planes. Venus is actively engaged with Neptune, the planetary gateway to dream realms and awakenings of the heart. As the working day gets under way the Moon settles into Gemini. Lunar accord with the Aries Sun fosters a vibrant mood. Minds are sharp. Ideas and comments spring forth with noticeable speed and regularity. There's much to be said and learned. A late afternoon lunar opposition to Saturn warrants caution. Be selective in voicing opinions. Energy may suddenly seem to vanish. Evening commuters could face weather-related delays. Take care if you're out and about tonight. Moon in Taurus v/c 12:00AM-9:22AM Moon enters Gemini, Venus sextile Neptune.

We're fast out of the starting gate this morning. The Taurus Moon forms a quick series of energizing aspects with Jupiter, Pluto and Mercury. The astro omens favor those with practical concerns. These early morning hours are great for bouncing ideas off of co-workers and associates. Teamwork is highly productive. Underused or overlooked resources can save the day. However, the pace slows dramatically well before noon. The Moon is void of course. There's less clarity and commitment as the afternoon wears on. A pending sextile between Venus and Neptune helps to keep spirits up. Genuinely kind and generous impulses are also felt. There just isn't much impetus to act on them. Relax and enjoy the sweetness in life. Moon in Taurus 10:24AM-12:00AM.

As dawn breaks the Moon enters Taurus, the calm, steadying sign of the bull. Peace and pleasure prevail as the Moon spends most of the day moving into conjunction with loving Venus. It's time to enjoy the people you love, objects of beauty you find around you, wonderful music and the tastiest, most indulgent foods you can eat. A film, a scenic vista in mother nature, a performance piece or a visit to an art gallery, all of these can make an haunting impression and transport imaginations to glorious places. Mental Mercury's late afternoon sextile to Pluto underscores the importance and power of positive thinking. Dreams and pragmatism merge seamlessly. Moon in Aries v/c 12:00AM-6:40AM Moon enters Taurus, Mercury sextile Pluto.
