During the early morning hours, just before going void of course, the Capricorn Moon reignites the tense Uranus/Pluto square. Some people sleep fitfully. In unstable geological zones, earth tremors are likely. We are at the end of both the lunar cycle and the Sun's stay in Capricorn. It's normal to feel some fatigue and ennui under these circumstances. The day is best spent finishing projects, consolidating resources and taking inventory of possessions.

The Moon reaches the earthy realm of pragmatic Capricorn just after sunrise. Here, she naturally evokes interest in tending to family matters and various household responsibilities, as well as the time-honored ways of the past. Once the morning chores are out of the way there's time after noon to pay homage to various traditions. A visit to a museum gallery or antique shop can fill the need.

When the Moon visits Sagittarius, the Sign of the Archer, most folks enjoy talking and thinking big. We set our sights on distant places and eagerly entertain lofty ideas and grand expectations. But today, due to astrological complications, a restrained approach is advised. The Moon faces a series of tests. A conjunction with the notoriously cautious planet Saturn is first. This alone is reason to take a conservative approach. The Moon is also at odds with Mars and Neptune. Judgment is clouded. A boast or bold statement can easily be taken the wrong way and have unanticipated and unwanted effects. Follow the Golden Rule and you'll minimize trouble.

Taking action may also be challenging with energizing Mars at odds with obstructive Saturn. The Ringed Planet delays but it doesn't deny us forever. Be patient. Don't lose hope. A creative Plan B and/or input from a trusted advisor can be the keys that unlock the doors to eventual success. Moon in Scorpio, Mercury sextile Uranus.

The Virgo Moon keeps us securely tethered to workplace routines. It also facilitates improved reasoning skills and overall efficiency. Powers of discrimination are sharp.

Practicality, efficiency and profitability are desirable, but the route to achieving sought after results may take some interesting, if unexpected, turns. Keep an eye out for quirky alternate routes and intriguing out of the way, "road less travelled" detours. Revisiting tested, time honored ideas, experiences and places may prove useful as well. Be in touch with long time friends. A chance meeting can be a delight. The latest technology as well as a fine-tuned intuition aids progress. Self-confidence is also a key factor.

Because new ideas may arise at any time, minds as well as plans can change in an instant. These changes could seem inconvenient at first but in the end they will prove to be for the better. With the Capricorn Sun also testing Uranus, feeling one's way through shifting circumstances rather than resisting them, is probably easier.
