An opposition between the Leo moon and Saturn in Aquarius early this morning helps us reconnect with our pride. However, this unbalanced aspect between the moon and Saturn could make it difficult to shed sorrows from the past. Remember that all forms of healing take time, and that it’s okay to enjoy life and feel happy even when there are still aspects of your psyche that experience pain or sadness.
Luckily, as afternoon rolls in, we’ll be able to shake off any funky feelings from earlier in the day as the void-of-course moon gives us the energy and ego boost we’ve been waiting for. Allow yourself to feel confident about yourself and your goals.
This is also a great time to reassess or revise any passion projects. Don’t hold back; get moving toward the things you want! The energy here is very creative, so get experimental with your hobbies and express your artistic side.
As nighttime creeps in, the moon moves into Virgo, giving us some much-needed organizational energy. Use tonight to check your schedule and make to-do lists for the coming days.

DAILY ORACLE
When Badger Spirit comes to protect you, he reminds you that anger or aggression, argumentative behavior, and being pushy or manipulative will not result in a positive outcome. Perhaps someone close to you has excess Badger energy, or perhaps that energy is pent-up in you. Either way, now is the time to calm down and allow the energy to pass through you. Go for a hike or brisk walk, shake it off, or dance it out so you can return to the situation determined and committed, but not so intense that you overwhelm others and yourself.
The appearance of Badger Spirit also serves as a reminder if you have been relentlessly pursuing something that keeps eluding you. The message is that it’s time to surrender it up to your Higher Power and focus on something else. Badger Spirit wants to protect you from self-will run rampant—from being obsessed with getting what you want in the form you prefer, in timing that fits perfectly with your notions of what has to be.
Remember, the world doesn’t revolve around your wants. Better, more beautiful opportunities will be the result when you release some of that Badger Spirit intensity along with your need to have it your way one hundred percent.
