More Of Today’s Forecast

Bolstered by a powerful early morning sextile between Mars and Pluto, we venture gamely forward into the new work week. The serious Capricorn Moon increases the desire to do important things and make a lasting, meaningful impact on the world. The combination is the embodiment of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s observation that “ The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful. to be honorable, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” This afternoon’s lunar harmony with Neptune conjures up the will to be helpful. Later, the Moon draws close to Venus and Pluto. During the evening true partnering can be transformational. The fabulously fruitful energies persist until nearly midnight.

Early birds may feel lethargic as the now waxing Sagittarius Moon orbits void of course. By sunrise the Moon has settled into ambitious Capricorn, setting the stage for a quietly productive day.

Purely instinctive knowledge can be indispensable as both the philosophical Sagittarius Sun and logical Mercury are at odds with confusing Neptune. In the aftermath of yesterday’s lunar eclipse, new facts may soon be exposed. Keep your ears and mind open. An impromptu evening gathering can be both enjoyable and enlightening.

During the wee hours of the morning the Sagittarius New Moon is eclipsed. Given that Sagittarius is the sign of principles, truths, religion and politics, expect revelatory information to surface. The facts may be embarrassing, prove innocence or guilt, and lead to major shifts in public opinion. With the celestial green light to start new endeavors compromised by possible confusion, it’s best to move cautiously. In some cases waiting for more information is advisable. The wait may be short. By dawn the Moon is nearing a conjunction with mental Mercury. The morning news could be eye-opening or jaw-dropping. An afternoon lunar square to Neptune raises the prospect of new uncertainties. Another more positive possibility is inspirational ideas. Tonight is a good time to mull over your options with a thoughtful friend.

A deep and restful sleep is made possible by the void of course Scorpio Moon. Shortly after sunrise the waning Moon arrives in Sagittarius. The Cosmic reset button is pressed, although we are at the end of the lunar cycle. Use this day to finish projects rather than begin them. If completion isn’t possible, do what you can to move closer to a goal. A lunar sextile to Saturn helps keep the focus on persevering, moving steadily forward and staying true to one’s core principles. The harmonious aspect also supports good timing. The Moon will be new early tomorrow morning. Because the New Moon is also a partial eclipse, formulating alternative plans is recommended. Things begun the week of an eclipse seldom go as planned. Proceed accordingly. Moon in Scorpio v/c 12:22AM-7:13AM Moon enters Sagittarius.

The waning Scorpio Moon fosters a spirited response to today’s joys and challenges. A lunar conjunction with Mars provides plenty of gusto. Supportive afternoon alignments to Neptune, Venus and Pluto bestow opportunities for cooperation and inspired teamwork. Use your imagination. Show patience and encourage slower moving pals, don’t criticize them. Because Mars is always a two-edged sword, make sure enthusiasm is shared by both partners and co-workers. Use tact, especially this evening when differences of opinion are likely to be sharp. Where appropriate, agree to disagree. Moon in Scorpio.

The waning Libra Moon is void of course during the overnight period. Edgy souls may wrestle with unsettled relationship issues. In nearly perfect synchronicity, the Moon enters Scorpio with the dawning new day. Emotions intensify. Neptune also resumes forward motion this morning. Now in ultra-sensitive Pisces, the planet of mystics, dreams and mysteries has been retrograde since last June. It’s a good bet that more than one puzzle will be solved this week as we are also nearing a New Moon and Solar Eclipse. Keep your heart, eyes and ears open. Be ready to rethink goals and plans. A leap of faith is likely. The evening hours can be tense as the Moon tests Saturn and Uranus. This is not the night to force an issue. Kindness is a better option than coercion.

The morning is the best part of the day for taking care of business. I count holiday shopping as serious business. The Leo Moon is opposite Jupiter, increasing the impetus to be out and about enjoying life and perhaps spending some cash. Overdoing is always tempting when Jupiter is active so keep your budget in mind. By noon the Moon is void of course and spirits become less energized and more tentative. Hold off on major purchases during the second half of the day. Instead turn your attention to child’s play and purely pleasurable pursuits.

Some folks may wish they had eaten less yesterday but it’s a good time to get back on track towards healthy living. Moon in Leo v/c 11:24AM-9:12PM Moon enters Virgo.

Settling in and enjoying familiar faces and routines is a natural thing to do under a Cancer Moon.

An afternoon lunar trine to Neptune inspires creative efforts at work, on the road and at home.

The waning Cancer Moon calls some people homeward. With the Sun newly arrived in Sagittarius and passing by her lunar South Node, others are reminded of friends, relatives and places they haven’t seen in ages. Thoughts and feelings tend to be nostalgic. Loyalties are also strongly felt. The chances are good that a companion has more on their mind than is evident.

The Moon is void of course before noon and the less engaged state lasts until tonight. There’s plenty of time to delve into and analyze feelings. Talking things out can be helpful. When the Sun arrives in freedom-loving Sagittarius late in the day there is a sea change. Sagittarius, the Sign of the Archer, is transitional, linking fall and winter.

Full Moon fallout has many souls thinking about and adjusting to recent developments. The Gemini Moon favors the sharing of facts and conversation. However, a good many so-called facts may be based on speculation rather than knowledge. Mental Mercury is in a square with Jupiter.

Know the difference between an opinion and a certifiable truth. Dinnertime discussions can be lively. However, uncertainties are likely to persist. Avoid making a firm commitment until all relevant details are known. Moon in Gemini, Mercury square Jupiter.

Insomniacs be warned, the wee hours of the morning are when today’s celestial action peaks.

Personal revelations are distinctly possible so take a few minutes to “tune in” before going to sleep. With the Moon and opposing Scorpio Sun in the “money” signs, questions related to resource management are likely.

A hoped for result may be no more than an empty promise. Resist the tendency to rush things under the waxing, challenge-oriented Aries Moon. Friday’s upcoming Full Moon is a lunar eclipse. Things that begin the week of an eclipse rarely go as planned. Get your facts straight and try to minimize risks. Be sure to do due diligence. Invest the time needed for thorough research. Even after taking into account all the unknowns and uncertainties, an alternative plan will likely still be necessary. Moon in Aries, Sun square Jupiter.

The morning hours feel lazy under a void of course Pisces Moon. This is most definitely a Cosmic reminder to ‘go with the flow,’ however unhurried it may be.
