Around dawn, the Taurus moon aligns with Jupiter, kicking the day off on a positive note. Conveniently coinciding with the holiday season, this aspect suggests a festive occasion. This is an opportunity to give thanks and spend time with loved ones. We might be gathered with relatives, attending office parties, or gift-giving. Generosity and a genuine appreciation for good company inspire us to celebrate success. If we are not around loved ones, we may choose to give greater priority to our spiritual lives through prayer or charitable acts.
Mid-morning, the sun and Mercury align in their inferior conjunction on the 0 degree of Capricorn. The inferior conjunction occurs when Mercury is in retrograde motion, and its solar alignment acts as a “new moon phase” between these two planets. Sudden clarity breaks through a cloud of confusion. A message is received, and a revitalized sense of purpose and direction is obtained. This aspect is one of new beginnings or starting projects. What have you been reevaluating during Mercury’s retrograde? You now have enough information to pivot your strategy. Pay attention to the events that occur today. Whatever is begun at this time should yield fruit during the sun and Mercury’s superior conjunction in Pisces on February 28, 2024.
