Get Out of Your Head—It’s Okay to Make Mistakes!

At 7:25 a.m.: The moon is sextile Jupiter

In the morning, the Pisces moon sextiles Jupiter in Taurus, an auspicious influence to kick-start the day! We feel lucky, therefore we become a magnet for luck. Our fortune may simply be a byproduct of our attitude; we greet circumstances optimistically, and the universe has no choice but to reflect our idealism back to us. This aspect can manifest in new opportunities, friendships, or road-opening realizations. Our world seems a bit more magical. If you are the recipient of providence today, consider paying it forward. 

At 12:29 p.m.: The moon is opposite Mercury

After noon, the moon opposes Mercury in Virgo, scrambling our thinking. Our reasoning skills are already a bit compromised due to Mercury retrograde, and overanalyzing what comes out of our mouths can become a problem in its own right. We’re afraid to slip up, and this fear becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy!  If possible, delay busy work, errands, negotiations, or appointments. Go on a long walk. Give yourself space to process and calm your nerves. Record yourself speaking and listen to the playback. Write it out to gain clarity. Putting ideas on paper can provide perspective.
