The Sky Today,
April 17

At 1:03 a.m.: The moon is trine Venus

In the pre-dawn hours, the Leo moon trines Venus in Aries, making us romantic and affectionate. This is an excellent occasion for passionate but fun-loving dates. In addition to furthering intimate connections, this transit awakens our creativity, making this an ideal time to express ourselves through art, fashion, or games. Many of us will be asleep at this hour, with dreams full of imaginative characters and settings.  

At 8:01 a.m.: The moon is trine Mercury

After sun-up, the moon trines Mercury in Aries, improving communication skills. Mercury in Aries makes us quick on our feet. We’ll know just what to say and when to say it to make an impact. This aspect can be used for leading a work presentation or striking sound deals. If you need to convince someone of your point of view in an earnest yet non-threatening way, now is the time to do so.
