Good morning, friends!
While scrolling through Facebook this morning, three things happened: 1) a friend of mine announced the birth of her beautiful baby girl, congratulations! 2) I saw many posts of injuries—one person got into an altercation with a trespasser and broke their finger in the fight, and another tore a tendon in their foot, stepping wrongly down a step! 3) I was attacked by an 80s meme…let me explain.
The meme was a picture of a squirrel and said, “80s song challenge! Replace the word “girl” with “squirrel.” Comment after comment ensued, and now I have, “I wish I had Jessie’s Squirrel,” stuck in my head.
Today, Mercury in Leo squares Mars in Taurus, and the chance for accidents, altercations— and aggressive memes— is really high! Have you noticed this, too?
The Moon is in Cancer and is conjoining Venus, making a square to Jupiter, still. I feel like the square to Jupiter is gifts coming, but there’s some tension around it because the nature of a square is Mars-like. The square is the moment that action takes place in a situation—the new seedling you planted at the beginning of the season, breaks through the surface of the earth, revealing its cotyledons, separating itself from the womb of the soil. So, Venus in Cancer in a square to Jupiter in Aries is saying, “I value family, love, connection, security, safety, and the soothing, nurturing element of water,” separating and distinguishing herself from “the heat, and independent, arrogant nature” of Aries. Like the seed emerging from the hot soil into the cool, moist air.
With the Moon joining up with Venus, our environments reflect this push towards family, comfort, and safety—we too want to be wrapped up in our mother’s arms and soothed.
The gifts of children, mothers, sisters, and women, in general, come to mind. Rejoicing in our relationships because they are such a gift.
So, be careful today (and over the next few days) as this Mercury and Mars square off; literally, “Be mindful of your steps, young padawan.” This aspect can bring freak accidents. On the bright side of this aspect, there could be breakthroughs that enable you to finally take action, laughter that makes you pee your pants or impassioned speech that lifts you out of the darkness. There are thousands of possibilities!
Be open to the gifts the Univers is bestowing upon you. The gift of freedom, of family, of love and relationship; of beautiful scenery, of a cool breeze on a hot day. The gift of birds washing themselves in your pond, of butterflies flitting around your flowers, of rainbows coming out after the afternoon rain.
“There is a way that leads from all-colors to colorlessness. Know that the magnificent variety of the clouds and the weather comes from the total simplicity of the sun and the moon.

In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
Where no one sees you,
But sometimes I do,
And that sight becomes this art.” ~Rumi
The card for the day is:
40 Dolphin: Manna
“Dolphin” symbolizes manna, the breath of life; communication through sound, and the ability to go between reality and the dream world.
I feel that this card is a reminder to use our breath to connect to the divine, paying attention to our bodily rhythms. We can use our words to answer questions, and inspire laughter and joy. We can remember our dreams.
Here is the full interpretation in the book. It is worth reading.
How do you feel about the energy and message of Dolphin?
I hope today’s horoscope and card reading are helpful!
Until tomorrow,
AstroMommy
