Just after midnight, the first quarter moon in Libra encourages us to reflect on intentions set during the June 17 Gemini new moon. At that time, we were inspired to spread our social wings, penning goals to broaden self-understanding and welcome new experiences. However, with so many options at our fingertips, our objectives may not have fully crystallized. Today, we are torn between priorities for our social circle and those that are for our own self-care. If we’ve been pulled into too many directions, or have overcommitted ourselves, we may now be wondering how to find a healthy balance. How can we better organize our time? Who do we really want to be partnering with? And importantly, how might we be using others as a scapegoat instead of taking responsibility for our own lack of motivation?
In the pre-dawn hours, Mars in Leo squares off with Uranus in Taurus, provoking unrest! This volatile influence spurs risky or thoughtless actions. We are entirely moved by our instincts, which leaves no room for our better judgment to interject! Should someone object to our behavior, we’ll see their concerns as evidence that they are trying to control us. This can be a moment where we arrive at an important breakthrough, or even have a life-altering breakdown. Although certain circumstances may be overdue for a reckoning, don’t go looking for conflict. Shock value will have its intended short-term effects, so consider the long-term.
