Sunday begins with a vigorous sextile between the Moon in Gemini and Mars in Aries, which favors adventurous and challenging activities. Later in the day, the Moon’s attention shifts from intense Mars to diffuse Neptune, which layers a fog over the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Jupiter makes its retrograde station at 23 Libra. Jupiter will work backward until June 9th. This approximately four month phase asks us to shift our attention from expansion to consolidation. Coherence is the key to this phase.
