Don’t Believe the Hype! Idealism Can Backfire!

June 25, 2023



At 3:24 p.m.: The moon is trine Pluto, and the moon void of course begins

The cosmic weather is quiet today until the Virgo moon trines Pluto in Capricorn, stimulating our psychic senses. This aspect helps us to perceive hidden meaning buried within conversations and interactions. We are particularly astute in interpreting body language, which can create the impression that we are reading someone’s mind.  Naturally, this power should not be exploited. Instead, consider using this talent to improve rapport and build trust. The moon-Pluto additionally inclines us to introspection. We can analyze our behaviors, assessing which need revision. However, we are unlikely to break from problematic patterns today. For now, simply noticing them is enough.  The moon then enters a short void lasting around a half hour.  

At 3:36 p.m.: Mercury is square Neptune

Immediately following this, Mercury in Gemini squares off with Neptune in Pisces, distorting reality. Our opinions can be influenced by bizarre feelings. We risk being subconsciously compelled to follow the beliefs of those who we keep company with.  Later, we’ll realize we’re caught up in a fantasy. This transit can function a bit like Mercury retrograde, in that it confuses correspondence. However, the underlying cause for today’s confusion has more to do with a genuine blindness toward facts or a complete application of rose-colored glasses.  Sometimes assuming the best of others can swing situations in our favor through the power of positive thinking. This is not one of those times. Undue idealism can provoke misunderstandings and make a real mess of things!
