The energy in the air is growing tense as we prepare for the weekend’s eclipse.

The Scorpio moon is connecting with a lot of the major planets: Neptune (illusion, delusion, and creativity), Venus (love and money), Mars (war and destruction), Pluto (triangular situations, growth, and power struggles), and Jupiter (expansiveness). This makes it quite a high-powered and energetic day. There could be power struggles, arguments, or conflict in relationships and concerning money, combined with an exuberant vibe that’s speeding up the overall frenetic energy of the day. Situations are being exposed for what they truly are, alliances are being tested, and we’re being emotionally pushed to make tough decisions.

Instead of making impulsive choices, be sure you’re getting accurate facts that can guide you to make educated, concrete decisions that give you the opportunity to understand what you’re doing from all perspectives. Think matters through, and don’t act on a whim. This will keep you from making mistakes that you can’t take back or reverse down the road.

The presence of Mars and Jupiter (both of which connect with the Scorpio moon) points to explosive arguments, which could leave us wishing that we hadn’t started picking at wounds or triggering others (and even ourselves). The bottom line is stay in your lane today even if you’re asked to leave it.

Today’s focus is on communication and interaction, possibly helping to dissipate the extreme frustration we feel when we aren’t able to implement our idealistic ambitions. However, there does need to be some awareness of our need for others. The Moon’s trine to Neptune and sextile to Venus offers a great deal of charm and inspiring rhetoric. However, we need to move past pretense and deal with the facts on the ground, even if they completely contradict our idealistic goals. Self-interest and personal ambition will only lead to frustration here. There is a need for a clear, specific assessment of where we actually are — not where we want to be or where we think we should be. Passions will continue to grow through tomorrow night’s Sagittarius New Moon (11:42 PM PST 12° Sagittarius) and beyond, threatening our ability to clearly see the reality in front of us.
