Wednesday‘s skies are stocked with difficulties. The day begins with the Moon’s conjunction with Mars in Cancer, which irritates and inflames, starting off the day in a mood to complain. Luna spends the middle portion of the day in conjunction with the hungry, anxiety-producing Head of the Dragon, and then moves into a pair of oppositions with grim Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. This is a very inauspicious set-up, and though the Moon does make a brief trine to soothing Neptune in the midst of the day, it is not enough relief for the challenges posed. Do not schedule anything of lasting importance today.

Tuesday begins with the Moon’s conjunction with Mercury in the very last degree of Gemini, starting off the day with a chatty boost of mental energy. That last shot of caffeinated Gemini energy does not last long, though. The Moon enters sensitive, emotional Cancer shortly thereafter, and Mercury follows only hours after that.

In Cancer, Mercury moves the conversation toward matters of home, family, and acts of care and cultivation. It is a phase of intimate conversations and personal considerations. Mercury will be in Cancer until June 26th this year, when it leaves the Crab’s sign for Leo. It will, however, make a retrograde return to Cancer between July 19th and August 11th.

With both the Moon and Mercury in Cancer by nightfall, it is an evening for comfort-seeking and private conversation.

The just-past-new Moon in Gemini activates the square between Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Sagittarius today. Ambitious visions flit about here, dream possibilities which may or may not make it into reality. Many of these longed-for results will be possible if you’re willing to trim away the wilder foliage clinging to them.

Sunday hosts the New Moon in Gemini. The Sun and the Moon find each other again, this time in the middle decan of Gemini. Together, the two end one cycle and concoct another. Unwind from the last month, empty your eyes of what you’ve seen so you can take in what’s coming next. It’s a dark and moonless night, perfect for a moment of emptiness, an outbreath held for just a few extra seconds.

Saturday’s primary planetary action is the Moon in Taurus’ mid-day conjunction with Venus. This points us toward matters of pleasure and the status of relationships. It re-activates yesterday’s exact trine between Venus and Saturn, which points towards the importance of boundaries.

There are no further planetary aspects after the Moon departs from Venus, but the sweetness of that embrace should last well into the evening.
