Sunday~ The Moon is still in Full cycle and moves into Aries, an action starting sign, at 2:47 am ET. One effect is to take feelings and emotions and act on them, intuiting your next best move. Another is the letting go of situations or emotions, allowing them to wane or morph as the Moon's appearance does in the coming week. The Sun and Uranus align in earth signs, with an element of surprise and also increased energy including inspired ideas and actions. Aries Moon opposes Mercury retrograde, indicating things to compromise on and share ideas about, and in the most fair and balanced way. Be objective today. The Moon and Jupiter combine for increase, generally, to increase knowledge or abundance orpersonal growth and development. Inspiration and rejuvenated energy are key things to sense to be in harmony with this Aries Moon. The letting go allows for new opportunities and inviting intentions even to let grow slowly. Wear Red today.

Monday ~Aries Moon aligned with Mars in Gemini at 11:46 pm Monday and that may set today's tone. Mentally energized, ready to initiate, and taking ideas into action are some possible effects and feelings to go with. Saturn says keep the whole group in mind, broadening for the needs of self to include the needs or agreements you've made with others. Group collaborations, especially with strong intention behind them, are favored. Today's color is Yellow.

Tuesday ~ Aries Moon void of course after a square to Pluto overnight. Hopefully something stuck in your head isn't keeping you awake. Promote relaxation on the overnight, and note the shift as the Moon lands in Taurus at 7:39 am, earth centered and steadying. There are no major aspects. Mercury is retrograde and can be kept in mind (may create delays and changes for example), though construction, outdoor work or hikes and other fresh air activities are favored. Tune to the 5 senses especially and feel the ground that supports you. Wear Green.

Wednesday ~ Taurus Moon meets Uranus each month. It's a realignment and sometimes happens through required changes and aadjustments because something has changed, disappeared or been deconstructed. The Moon also forms a trine to Venus in Virgo for more earthly connection, such as to other humans. Human contact is favored. Book a massage or other bodywork, take a yoga class, reconnect with yourself physically, and enjoy sensual pleasures. Continue working through group process with fairness, commitment, loyalty and promises honored. Today's color is Pink.

Thursday ~ Taurus to Gemini Moon. The Moon is void of course from 8:59 am to 4:16 pm ET and these may be good hours to take a break from overdoing or ovethinking. Regroup, take care of personal matters and avoid major announcements or decisions if possible. The morning and earlier hours appear creative, reflective, and internally focused. Gemini Moon arrives at 4:16 pm ET. This is more social and if you feel recharged, get together with others, do some writing or study or whatever you hvae the right energy for. Talk something out with an open mind. Wear Blue.

Friday ~ Gemini Moon aligns with Mercury retrograde and with Jupiter. Those two planets are in opposite signs, Aries and Libra. This is air feeds fire energetically, and there's an upward type current that culminates today with the Moon and Mars meeting. We may feel very activated around something. Try not to live in your head. Soothe anxiety. Reduce urgency that could result in anything impulsive. Things could easily heat up. The Sun in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces indicate the opposing forces ~ one grounded, one nebulous. Can creativity and stucture both be implemented? Venus squares Mars which often means radically different perspectives between partners or best friends. Can these be worked with so one doesn't overshadow the other? Relationships may experience some strain, and the key is to find the point you agree upon and broaden from there. Wear Lavender.

Saturday ~ The Gemini Moon lingers all day, with a revisiting of themes from yesterday and the whole week. What has transpired? What emerges as a key idea or plan? Remain flexible and leave adjustment room for the future when Mercury is direct and the New Moon comes, both. One week from Full Moon, has the mind or emotional tone shifted? Gemini loves questions to contemplate or curiously investigate and that is the energy today. Leave something open ended. Today's color is Light Blue.
