The moon continues its journey through watery Cancer, which can be exhausting for empaths and those with an exceptionally nurturing side. While you may feel drawn to help and take care of others, be wary of anyone who takes you for granted right now, and don’t be afraid to say no if you don’t feel up to doing something.

The moon shares a frustrating opposition to Mercury today, which could make communication difficult, especially if it pertains to emotions. You may find that people are either cold or very much in their feelings, and it won’t always be easy to predict how someone is going to react to you right now. There may also be technological issues or brain fog, so remember to focus on your breath if things start to go haywire in those realms.

Luckily, the heavy energy breaks up a bit as we head into afternoon and the moon forms a supportive aspect to Neptune. Things should feel lighter and perhaps even a bit dreamier. However, your psychic senses can get a big boost from the cosmic climate, so be careful about the people who are around you. Avoid anyone who drains you emotionally because you’ll likely become energetically depleted if you don’t focus your energy on people who lift you up.

As nightfall descends, try to get an early start on your bedtime routine because your body is likely in need of some additional rest.

We may be challenged by disappointment due to unrealistic expectations today. Venus squares Neptune while approaching the South Node. We need to be very cautious in our interactions and communications with others. This is a very unsteady atmosphere where humility is our biggest asset. Our concern over making the right impression is fraught with misunderstanding. By recognizing that we are in an ongoing process of learning within the context of a new environment, we can let go of any concerns over demonstrating our mastery. There are, in fact, grand opportunities to expand our understanding and awareness. If we are seeking to remain teachable and can approach our lessons with humility and flexibility, we will do much better than if we lean towards making ourselves look good.
