To Have a Successful Day, You Need to Do This!

At 10:36 a.m.: The moon is inconjunct Saturn

The cosmic weather is quiet today until mid-morning, when the Leo moon forms a quincunx with Saturn in Pisces, provoking stress. Under the Leo moon, we want to play, create, and capitalize on our popularity! Our emotional equilibrium is maintained by satisfying the needs of our inner child and following our bliss. To this end, we seek out companions who will boost our self-esteem by providing us with attention and affection.  However, as the moon and serious Saturn awkwardly clash, we feel pulled in two different directions. Living up to our responsibilities and duties may mean sacrificing pleasure pursuits. We cannot ignore the work that is piling up, and it weighs heavily on our conscience. However, we know that we will produce our best work when we are happy and confident!  These two priorities work against each other, and frustration mounts. Don’t worry! This discomfort is temporary! If FOMO will distract you, even if you’re technically taking care of business, prioritize your emotional well-being and give yourself time to play. Set a timeline, say a few hours, to fully immerse yourself in leisure, and then get back to work. Parent your own inner child!

At 10:02 p.m.: The moon is square Jupiter

After nightfall, the moon squares off with Jupiter in Taurus, stimulating excess. If you set guidelines for yourself in the morning, this influence should not be difficult to manage. You may be a bit distracted and self-indulgent, but the day is almost over anyhow, so reward yourself for your diligence!  However, if you did not set guidelines, you might now feel the crunch of work left unfinished. In this case, indulgence functions as a means to avoid the reality of the situation. Unhealthy behaviors can totally derail your progress. Mind your impulses, or folly will get the better of you!
