Thursday: Libra Moon with multiple aspects. Communicate clearly and treat each other fairly. It may be difficult to make decisions or sort out inner conflicts. People may take us off guard with unexpected actions or words. However, Venus aligns with the Moon from Aquarius and Saturn is in harmony from Sagittarius while Jupiter and the Moon meet. All three of these aspects are favorable. Make temporary agreements and flexible plans. Community events, social occasions and parties benefit from Venus and the Moon in friendly air signs. Void of course Moon 2:31 pm EDT until 9:32 am Friday. Today's color is Pink.

Friday: Scorpio Moon begins at 9:32 am EDT. Fixed and more decisive, this Moon activates passion and persistence.
