Just before noon, the Pisces moon aligns with Neptune, stimulating our imagination. While this is an excellent influence to harness for the purposes of creative work, it also makes us subject to increased confusion. This is not the time to attempt to stick to a linear schedule. We can expect to be extra distracted by our emotions or by external events. Set yourself up for success by taking the afternoon slow. Double-check your work. If a decision must be made, consider whether you are making it from your heart or your head. Both are important, but one approach may sway you in an unwise direction now.
Mid-afternoon, Mercury in Aquarius squares off with Uranus in Taurus, foreshadowing surprising news! Unexpected information lands in our laps. Unplanned changes to our schedules force us to think on our feet and make quick course corrections. Yet, no matter how we rise to the occasion, the hits keep on coming. Frustrating conversations threaten our patience. We want to quit or throw in the towel. Instead of wasting our energy in fruitless arguments, we bail, which just makes the situation worse, and dooms us to a long cleanup process later. Think of this influence as a mini-Mercury retrograde. Be careful what you say and how you say it. Your tone can be misconstrued, and you can misread others. Put off important meetings and conversations for another day to mitigate the risk of irritation.
