Without further ado, here is the daily horoscope.

Good morning, friends!

Well, unfortunately, I have a headache today so I am moving at a turtle’s pace which is funny because we saw a turtle in our yard this morning! Moseying along was this big guy below:

Now, symbolically the turtle represents good luck (amongst other things), so I’m happy with that!

Okay, let’s get into…the astrology

Today’s Transits

In the morning at 12:26 am ET, the Moon in Pisces perfected a sextile to Mars in Taurus which represents an opportunity to get something done, accomplished, or decided upon.  The Moon in Pisces is compassionate, artistic, and very intuitive and Mars in Taurus has the ability to push through the quicksand and make strides even if they are slower than usual—these two energies combined may help us seize an opportunity today—even if we are moving slowly like a turtle.

Then at 5:55 am the Pisces Moon formed a semisquare to Pluto in Aquarius retrograde indicating setbacks and delays, but delays to what exactly?  Personal growth in the survival department.  On Monday, when the Moon met up with Pluto we may have been reflecting on our resources for survival, now with the semisquare between the two planets this represents wanting to move forward but there are still psychic or emotional blocks in the way that we need to clear out first. 

By mid-morning at 10:56 am the Moon will meet up with Saturn in Pisces symbolizing a reality check moment where we may feel emotionally very different than yesterday.  Yesterday the Moon made all of these favorable aspects to the Sun, Mercury, Venus and even the square to Jupiter could’ve been pretty cool, but now she is met with limitations, restrictions, and stop signs along her journey.  Moon and Saturn can also feel like a hand over your mouth, stifling emotional expression, as it can symbolize emotional repression. There may be things we are feeling today that we aren’t allowed to express.

On a positive note, we may be able to use the Saturn energy to our benefit by working on mastering habits that take endurance, patience, tolerance, and emotional control, but more often than not, I hear about people feeling isolated, alone, and sad when the Moon meets up with Saturn every month.  Of course, how you experience it will be very personal to you and your natal chart, but it usually is a time of melancholy and despondency.  So, if you are feeling down, know that you’re not alone and that this too shall pass!!  It’s possible that the two previous tarot cards, There’s nothing else you can do and the Three of Swords have more to do with this transit than anything else this week, so hang in there!

In the afternoon at 2:11 pm ET the Moon in Pisces will make a nice trine to Mercury in Cancer representing harmonious conversations, experiences with other people, and feeling at ease with our thoughts—maybe this transit will mitigate the sad feelings of the previous transit, I am not sure, or maybe this transit represents letting out our feelings by talking about them and really being able to express how we feel.  It could also symbolize feeling very emotional, moody, and like your emotions are waves just flowing out of you. (What a curious transit for the day of the presidential debates, eh? The Moon represents the people of a country and so “the people” will be letting everyone know how they feel!)

By the late evening at  9:22 pm the Pisces Moon will perfect a sextile to Uranus in Taurus which could be the sudden letting loose of your feelings or maybe there is an unexpected opportunity that happens that you spontaneously accept.  With Uranus, it’s a wild-card energy, so we never know exactly how it will manifest. The important thing is to try to be flexible and open to the possibilities brought about by this transit.
