Venus conjuncts Jupiter today as we reach an Aquarius New Moon (11:05 AM PST 23° Aquarius) that begins to open the doors to expansive cooperation, collaboration and communication. The challenge is to explore the remarkably freeing atmosphere without seeking to restrict the freedom that others are beginning to experience. There are, in fact, distractions galore — most of the erratic and unpredictable qualities of Aquarius are on full display today. Nonetheless, this atmosphere encourages the free sharing of ideas and insights and seems to have the effect of slowly bringing together these insights into a cooperative framework that can be satisfying on a broad scale. The Moon is void-of-course following the New Moon, probably leading to an especially erratic and unpredictable day that does little to display the magnificent potential that is developing beneath the surface.

It will be very easy to feel close to people, with the moon-Mercury conjunction in the wee hours setting the tone for the day. You could have a false sense of attachment, so it probably wouldn’t be wise to profess every feeling you have. Just enjoy the blissful energy this aspect brings, especially since the moon squares Mars early this morning, making it difficult to quickly process any feelings of frustration. You need courage and faith in the people you love to get through this without ending up in a silly fight.

Later in the morning, we get some comfort when Venus conjoins Jupiter. This puts your relationships in the forefront of your mind today. You’ll be considering how to best improve on them. You’re likely to feel much friendlier than you did earlier.

When the moon enters Aquarius tonight, the focus shifts from relationships to personal goals. This energy demands solid and sustainable ideas, so if you’re going to start something over from scratch, make sure to think it through very carefully first.
