More Of Today’s Forecast

As this morning's New Moon in Virgo quietly ushers in a fresh activity cycle, other powerful planetary alignments dot the sky. Be sure you know what you want, personally and professionally. Have your route clearly thought out, with back-up plans in mind, too. Testing squares between the tandem of Mars conjunct Saturn and Jupiter conjunct Venus can throw the best laid schemes off kilter. Partners may balk when push comes to shove. A series of challenging alignments continues until the end of the week. Proceed slowly and carefully as great intentions will surely require great efforts. Moon in Leo v/c 12:00am-5:33am Moon enters Virgo, New Moon in Virgo 10:13am, Mercury sextile Mars, Venus trine Uranus, Mercury sextile Saturn, Mars conjunct Saturn.

After a less than restful night, the Leo Moon ventures void of course into the breaking dawn. She remains that way until midnight. The resulting calm is fitting for the last day of the lunar cycle. Many things have run their course. It's time to complete projects and digest recent events. Content yourself with relaxing. Favorite hobbies and low key recreational activities are a perfect match with today's heavenly influences. Hold off on beginning projects or making major purchases and investments until tomorrow's New Moon gives its blessing. Moon in Leo v/c 4:26am-12:00am.

Less than an hour into the new day, the Sun enters Virgo, signaling approaching changes. It's time to focus, adjust priorities and get ready for the coming "back to school, back to work" fall harvest season. But first, there's time for fun. When morning arrives a big, happy stellium composed of the Leo Moon, Jupiter and Venus elevates hearts, minds, and spirits to the stratosphere. The prospering trio works to spread joy and build confidence all across our fair planet. It won't take much to spark a celebration. Deeply felt gratitude or a mere stitch of good luck is reason enough to dance up a storm and party. Moon in Leo, Sun enters Virgo.

A lengthy void of course Cancer Moon dominates more than half of the day. As a result, little of lasting significance occurs before evening. Moods are pensive and overly sensitive. Life moves in gentle cascades, then ebbs and flows again. Respect the feelings of others, and be careful not to impinge on another's privacy. After work a more festive atmosphere gradually takes hold as the Moon reaches flamboyant Leo. The late stage of the lunar cycle helps keep things mellow, but hopeful signs abound everywhere. Relax and enjoy your life tonight. Moon in Cancer v/c 12:00am-4:49pm Moon enters Leo.

At work or home, the morning hours feel energized due to a lunar trine with Mars. This go-getter alignment sputters a bit as the Cancer Moon squares off with Uranus after lunch. Mechanical failures, computer glitches and other unforeseen events can disrupt routines and require a hasty change of plans. Fortunately, Mercury's trine with Pluto enables quick thinking and the clever use of available tools. This is good news for those able to improvise. In truth, some adjustments may be long overdue. Unfolding under a void of course Moon, the final third of the day is good for relaxing at home or on a favorite beach. No heavy lifting this evening. Moon in Cancer v/c 3:34pm-12:00am, Mercury trine Pluto.

Before the Sun rises in the east the Moon arrives in her own home sign of Cancer. The placement arouses fiercely protective urges but also allows for some useful emotional detachment, due to the currently balsamic lunar phase. Before defending your turf or going on the offensive, consider other options. Try to see where the other person is coming from. A word of sympathy and a willingness to compromise will ease any friction. Staying even-keeled is especially helpful at home. The late afternoon hours are best for peacemaking. Evening discussions may also promote better understanding. Moon in Gemini v/c 12:00am-4:45am Moon enters Cancer.

Venus enters Leo today. The Goddess of Love, Beauty and Grace will spend the next three weeks in the sign of fun, romance and self-expression. What a good omen for the young at heart! Raconteurs will find the next few days fantastic for sharing their stories. As for today; tune out distractions this morning and take care of business. A happy angle between the Pisces Moon and Saturn fosters a strong work ethic. The extra dose of realism helps decision makers. After noon, the Moon begins a void of course period that lasts into tomorrow morning. Be prepared to meander with the eddies and flows of a far less focused, but intuitively rich period. Moon in Pisces, Venus enters Leo.
