Without further ado, here is the daily horoscope.
Good morning, friends!
Okay, let’s get into…the Astrology…
On Wednesday, the Moon makes a hard square aspect to Neptune at 2 am ET—we could feel this building up on Tuesday night, as the Moon entered the 3° range of engagement at around 8 pm ET last night. This transit could bring a feeling of loss, confusion, or self-deception. There could be an emotional disappointment, the desire to escape, or secrets that are revealed. Whatever this transit brings up for you, this could color the whole day on Wednesday.
By the early morning, at around 7 am ET, the Gemini Moon forms a trine to Saturn in Aquarius, bringing a seriousness to the morning that could be helpful and constructive giving us the wherewithal to get our early morning to-do list accomplished. This could also be a coping mechanism for whatever feelings came up due to the square to Neptune that happened last night—so we could be more serious, stoic, and controlled emotionally. This could benefit us or it could hinder the healing process by sort of depriving us of the needed emotions to process whatever it is that came up.
By 1 pm ET, just a couple hours before the Moon changes signs, she forms a quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn, symbolizing the desire to completely get away from whatever deep emotional stuff is being unearthed. This transit could bring emotional stress, upheaval, and a feeling like we have to eventually face some fear that we would rather sweep under the rug.
The Sun in Aquarius forms a sextile to Chiron in Aries at 2:26 pm ET, shedding a gentle light on our wounds that provides a little bit of comfort and safety to heal whatever it is.
Then the Moon makes her ingress into the sign of Cancer, her home sign, at 3:11 pm and things get much more familiar. The Moon in Cancer feels at home and comfortable. She is able to call the shots, make decisions, and initiate the changes she wants to experience that will further her comfort. The Cancer Moon is an emotional moon, but one that loves to nurture and care for others in a way that makes everyone feel welcome and at home.
For the rest of the day, it is pretty much smooth sailing for the Moon—the hard aspects will come tomorrow with a square to Jupiter and Chiron, followed by oppositions to Mercury and Pluto on Friday, but for today, there’s a feeling of being at home, and happy about it, for the Moon!
Let’s move on to the card for the day:
What is the guidance for today?
Five of Wands—reversed
On this card we see five men of various different ages sparing with wands. In the upright position, this card means fighting, disagreements, or competition.
In the reversed position it is all about internal conflict, fighting with yourself, or avoiding conflict with those around you who have big opinions about what you should or shouldn’t be doing with your life. This card could also mean that the conflict, argument, or competition is over and you can relax.
As the card for the day, I feel this means to check in with yourself and find out what this card means for you…did you just have a fight and now everything is better and you can go on? Are you avoiding confronting someone about something important to you? Are you having an internal struggle over something and don’t really know how you feel about an issue? This card is an invitation to explore whatever level of conflict or tension you are experiencing right now or whatever level of release you just had. There can be peace after the war if that is our intention—but we have to really want to cultivate that virtue and make the necessary changes within ourselves to be more peaceful.
"Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice."--Jean Helion
