If you’re a night owl, the very early hours this morning could bring some helpful energy your way as the Libra moon forms a soft connection to the Leo sun. This is the perfect time to love yourself and engage with positive affirmations that are meant to boost your confidence.

As the hours continue to unfold, an unbalanced aspect between Lady Luna and Neptune could bring strange dreams to those who are asleep and insomnia to those who haven’t quite gotten there yet.

Later in the morning, a harsh aspect between the moon and Pluto could make it difficult to shake off our nighttime adventures, so try to take a morning walk if you’re able to fit it into your schedule.

An off-kilter aspect between Mars and Saturn could threaten to throw us off task, so try not to stress out too much if you’re running behind right now.

Luckily, we feel a shift this afternoon as the moon shares a positive connection to benevolent Jupiter. Big ideas could come your way under this cosmic climate, so be sure to run with any strokes of genius your brain cooks up.

Later this evening, the moon changes signs to intense Scorpio, which could bring some heaviness to the party. Use tonight as an opportunity to sit with and honor your feelings, but be sure to accept and release anything you can’t control, especially if it involves memories from the past.

Intuition is suspect today and intellect is not quite up to the task of even keeping the questions clear. We need to pay attention to important boundaries that we are tempted to cross in misguided attempts to help others. The Moon is void-of-course this afternoon at 1:38 PM PDT following an overly optimistic trine to Jupiter that encourages a bit more adventurousness than we should attempt. Once the Moon arrives in Scorpio, just after 5 PM PDT, when we begin to be able to sort through the questions have the opportunity to begin to find truthful answers.

DAILY ORACLE

Essential meanings: Community; belonging; being seen and understood by others; like-minded connections; a sense of family and friendship; knowing your place in the world.

The Oracle’s Message: This card signals that a new group of like-minded people is entering your life now. Humans are social creatures, and we need to know we are useful to our families and communities. In a community, everyone has an important function and feels “I matter.” Membership in the group provides a sense of belonging, of family, and of purpose that comes from working together for the greater fulfillment of all. Perhaps you are part of a spiritual community, or an artistic one. Perhaps you are in a learning community where you share your love of education. Regardless of its form or focus, you will feel good about your community. You will be inspired by it and want to contribute to it. Your contribution may be as small as showing up or as large as becoming its leader. No matter your position in the tribe, your presence is needed.

Relationship message: You’re in a place of discovering the essential aspects that you share with another—and perhaps also those you don’t share. There are times when you follow and the other person leads, and times when you lead and the other follows. The appearance of this card points to the importance of learning the proper “dance” between you and another. Accepting the truth that everyone has flaws is part of that dance. Yet you are also being asked you to be aware of the dynamics that you don’t want to repeat. You’re in the perfect place to make changes in order to experience the best version of who you are together.

Prosperity message: Whenever you’re in a community of like-minded others, there is a powerful opportunity to reap great abundance. It’s essential to ask, What can I contribute? rather than What can I get from this? Find a need and look to fill it. Something meaningful will manifest. Even if what manifests is small, it is a sign that the doors of opportunity will swing open wider. There is also another meaning of this card to consider: Don’t try to be all things to all people. Choose your role and be true to it, and serve from a sense of authenticity. There is no greater sense of accomplishment than knowing you have purpose.
