Don’t Go Chasing Rainbows!

At 10:09 a.m.: The moon is conjunct Mercury

The cosmic weather is quiet today until mid-morning, when the Virgo moon aligns with Mercury, impending judgment. Although this aspect can be employed to communicate how we feel, it is less ideal for making decisions free from bias. With our thinking state closely linked to our emotions, we’re likely to base elections on memories of past events or exchanges.  Objective analysis is almost impossible now, so we might as well lean hard into subjectivity! Surround yourself with people who know you best, even if they function as an echo chamber of your ideas. Dig out memorabilia and take a walk on memory lane with friends. Otherwise, consider taking a day trip somewhere fun to make new memories!

At 2:51 p.m.: The moon is trine Uranus

Mid-afternoon, the moon trines Uranus in Taurus, encouraging open-mindedness! This transit is a good foil for the moon-Mercury conjunction. It assists us in breaking from preconceived notions to consider new evidence!  Although we might encounter surprises or experience unexpected events, we won’t perceive them as threats. A chance to leave the past in the past is liberating and exciting. We may even make a new friend or fall in with a different crowd. Ultimately, our goal now is to discover more about ourselves and what we want out of life.
