By lunch time firm commitments are hard to come by. Enthusiasm and passion may seem lost. As with all void of course Moons, it’s best to put off major decisions, meetings and purchases.

Motivation peaks before mid-morning and then the day unfolds in somewhat lazy, if haphazard fashion as the Gemini Moon floats void of course. Flights of fancy can be entertaining as hearts and minds wander through assorted reveries. However, follow-up is unlikely until evening when the Moon enters Cancer.

Resources are available to make those dreams a reality. The fertile first half of the day is supported by the Gemini Moon’s early afternoon trine to loving Venus. Chats are chummy, charming, big-hearted and flirtatious. The evening’s more challenging Sun/Jupiter configuration raises the prospect of pushing idealism too far and too fast. Egos may swell. Self-confidence can potentially border on arrogance. If you want to make a point, sell an idea or win an argument, be respectful. Listen to what others are saying. Let them know their concerns and opinions have merit. Ignore your audience at your own peril. Moon in Gemini, Sun sextile Pluto, Sun square Jupiter.

Minds are chipper during the pre-dawn hours. However, shortly after sunrise the waxing Taurus Moon goes void of course. For much of the morning the powers of concentration are diminished. Resolve weakens and motivation may also be noticeably lacking. Minutes before noon there’s a significant mood change. The Moon enters Gemini and the day’s second act begins.

Others may find that regrets still linger. In any case, imaginations are fluid. After a round of animated midday discussions the early afternoon brings a sea change. Following a brief void of course period the Moon enters Aries. A new call to action is felt by some but with little support from other planets it is probably best to wait until tomorrow before making a major move.

Night owls are privy to sudden premonitions and life-changing realizations. An untried technology could be put to ingenious use. As day breaks the Pisces Moon is at the end of her monthly cycle. Fatigue may be a factor today. Emotional as well as physical bodies can feel unusually vulnerable to life’s vagaries. Minds face challenges of a different nature. Shortly after midday mental Mercury, poised at 29 Pisces, the final degree of the Zodiac, turns retrograde. Oftentimes, this degree provides an interesting perspective. One eye is on the past, and one is to the future. Wherever you focus your attention, don’t give away your personal power. By that I mean the ability to stay composed and act without guilt or fear. It may not yet be time to make a move but be sure to nurture inner strength and certainty. Moon in Aquarius v/c 3:05AM-3:11AM Moon enters Pisces, Mercury retrograde.

Now late in her cycle, the Moon sails calmly through Aquarius. Moods are generally easy-going, welcoming and accepting. A midday lunar sextile with Jupiter brings out the best in people. Positive thinking, encouraging words and emotional maturity brighten the morning. Some are wise beyond their years. This is a fine time for important meetings and far-ranging conversations. Optimism is justified but don’t count your chickens just yet. Be aware of two pending planetary shifts that can both be significant. Mental Mercury has stationed and will turn retrograde tomorrow and late tomorrow night Uranus enters Taurus. An unforeseen change of mind or circumstance could accompany either of these celestial events. Plan accordingly. Be flexible. Moon in Aquarius.

The waning Aquarius Moon is at odds with Mars today. Lunar squares to Mars often produce feelings of frustration and irritation. Things just don’t seem to happen fast enough. Friends may struggle to see eye to eye. Petty jealousies, disagreements over money, tastes in music, food, clothes or companions can trigger harsh words. Stay focused on personal wants and preferences. Knowing your own likes and priorities is a first step in truthful communications. With several omens pointing towards a lack of clarity, it’s best to remember that anger is the ego’s way of hiding fear. Don’t take it personally. If your own temper or that of a partner grows short, look beneath the surface to see what insecurity might be the trigger. Be kind. Moon in Aquarius.

Weekend errands are facilitated by the Capricorn Moon’s late morning sextile to Mercury. Shopping as well as other chores can be quickly dispensed with. This morning is also the best part of the day for catching up with friends and relatives, making decisions and signing contracts. Midday is likely to bring a sudden change of plans as the Moon tangles with unpredictable Uranus. An old nemesis could reappear or traffic may be snarled due to an accident. A short void of course Moon period is the gateway to calmer, more enjoyable times. By late afternoon the Moon is in Aquarius where she conjuncts sweet Venus. All seems well. Romantic trysts, clan gatherings and parties are pleasurable, love-filled affairs. The late night hours are quiet. Moon in Capricorn v/c 1:47PM-2:06PM Moon enters Aquarius.

Just hours before exiting Capricorn, Venus forms a testing early morning square with Uranus. An unforeseen expense could arise, or a partnership may suddenly be on the outs. More fortuitously, the gritty Capricorn Moon is in harmony with Neptune, the mysterious planet of redemption and forgiveness. It may be easier to accept people as they are than attempt to remake them. Shortly before noon Venus enters the friendly air space of Aquarius. The sign shift helps promote a more easy-going tolerance of others’ eccentricities. It is the hours after noon that bring the most serious discussions and negotiations. The Moon passes by Saturn and Pluto. These conjunctions produce a “make it or break it” mindset. Either double down and fully commit or look for the exit signs. Moon in Capricorn, Venus square Uranus, Venus enters Aquarius.
