In the pre-dawn hours, the moon sextiles Uranus in Taurus, offering surprises! Under the Cancer moon, we achieve emotional equilibrium within comfortable knowns. Familiar people, places, and circumstances provide us with a sense of safety and security. Yet the moon’s auspicious aspect to Uranus, the planet of change, helps us to break free of patterns or behaviors that are no longer facilitating our growth. We can discard traditions that have ceased to serve our best interests. As many of us will be asleep at this hour, our dreams may provide us with cheat codes to liberate ourselves from limiting conditions!
Around sun-up, Mercury aligns with Saturn in Aquarius, aiding our concentration. Under this transit, we can get down on ourselves for not having all the answers. A serious demeanor and harsh tone create difficulties in conversations that require emotion and empathy to navigate. However, the discipline this aspect offers will help us to communicate in academic or community settings where we have an important point to make. Our approach to problem-solving is linear. Others may seek us out for advice, or ask to check their data against our own. This influence may be intellectually heavy, but we can get a lot accomplished in the morning hours before Mercury shifts into Pisces in the afternoon!
