At 10:29 AM: Capricorn moon trine Mercury in Taurus

As the morning unfolds, the Capricorn moon forms a trine to Mercury in Taurus, setting a purposeful, serious tone for communication. Words don’t just land today, they are implanted! Conversations move slowly but carry genuine weight. What you articulate now may take root in ways that last beyond the moment. Taurus and Capricorn favor clarity over speed, substance over spectacle. If you have something to say, say it with your whole chest. Trust that the universe listens more closely when you speak from anchored truth.

At 10:45 AM: Capricorn moon square Venus in Aries

Shortly after, tension flares up between the Capricorn moon and Venus, freshly liberated from her post-retrograde shadow in Aries. There’s a new spark under old skin. Desire moves quicker than permission today, asking you to catch up with your own instincts and needs. You might feel the tug between caution and exhilaration. Let it sharpen your sense of reality. Venus in Aries doesn’t wait and encourages you to claim what's yours. Some cravings arrive today not to distract you, but to remind you you’re alive.
