Moon in Capricorn

-trine Jupiter (10:57 am)
-trine Mercury (8:00 pm)
-trine Uranus (11:21 pm)

Mars enters Libra (9:20 am)
Sun in Virgo opposite Saturn in Pisces

Today, the moon travels the second half of Cardinal Earth, keeping our eyes on practical success, goal achievement, and all things earthly will be easy early morning. The trine to Jupiter in Taurus motivates us in our quest to create strong foundations in comfortable settings. Nevertheless, Jupiter in the mix suggests overindulgences. So, do be careful how much rich food you eat, what you spend, and who you hump on. (Just sayin’ ?.)

Afterward, the Moon will trine Mercury retrograde in Virgo in the evening. Our minds zero in on self-improvement efforts. This is a check for efficacy. We’re reviewing and revising the plans we’ve started to create. Additionally, Mars changing signs may mean for some, goal posts have shifted. How do our practical goals impact our relationships?

If we wish to stay in tune with the current moment, we’ll need to refine our plans for the future too. Take time to consider if the improvements you want to make to your lfie will matter if they strain your important connections. Strategize for efficiency, progress, security, and stability, and compatibility. What that means may differ, but the goal is the same: creating an individualized anchor to hold too in these chaotic times.

Mars in Libra

Meanwhile, just before the Moon perfects the trine to Mercury, Mars moves into Libra, the sign of its detriment. Goals take on a cerebral, aesthetic quality. As a result, motivations change direction slightly, toward how we relate. The collective begins setting goals around connecting and improving our social status. How we look to the outside world starts to matter a little more. This Mars wants to play fair. Foul play & cheating will get us riled up for the next few weeks. They may also be the most prominent temptations to resist.

Another shadow of transiting Mars in Cardinal Air is using agreeableness as a manipulation tactic. Accordingly, it’s a time to ask yourself why what anyone else think matters and make sure you keep your fawn response in check. Try to balance self-engagement and respect with our interpersonal activities. Legal issues can also arise for some, depending on the houses impacted. Cardinal & Air Signs will be especially affected by this energy.
