You know the moon is in Capricorn when you wake up in the morning with the desire to get a handle on your financial affairs. Sit down and balance the books. You feel like paying attention to the foundational structures in your life, your work, your finances, and anything that needs repairing or consolidating to function at optimum performance. So, do those things today—use this earthy, cardinal energy to take action to tend to those things in your life that keep you advancing forward and climbing up the mountain, so to speak. The moon is at detriment in Capricorn, so we may not like having to be all uber-responsible, but it is a necessary evil of adult life.
Remember that Mercury is retrograde in Gemini still and even though we want to make solid plans, and we can certainly do that when the moon is in Capricorn, prepare for delays and setbacks—that is still a very real possibility! Make sure you have enough oil or gas in your vehicle. Make sure your phone has enough battery power and that you remember your charger. Make sure you have water and snacks for yourself if you’re going anywhere in case something comes up. Be prepared with the important little things for making it up the “mountain” today and you’ll be o.k.
Mars and Neptune just had their conjunction in Pisces yesterday, but we are still feeling the effects of this transit. The longing to breakout is still powerful, but it’s important that we keep our cool this week. We may feel irritated or angry or have a deep sense of loss, but we must be careful not to push or aggravate the situation or we just might break the levy. As always, when Mars is involved, we have to keep our tempers in check—and with Neptune: deal with loss and illusion and things that move fluidly like water—so take it easy; rest if needed; chillax. It may be better to ride this transit out and take action on things when Mars is clear of the fog of Neptune, so we can see straight. The effects of this transit will last through the weekend but should start to dissipate by early next week.
Until tomorrow,
