The moon is in careful Virgo early today, sending you on an up-and-down emotional journey and causing you to analyze how you’re feeling from one minute to the next.
A moon-Neptune opposition right away in the morning gives you some pretty bizarre intuitive thoughts about someone close to you, which could actually change your opinion of them if they turn out to be right. You don’t necessarily want your intuition to be accurate, but if it is, this could be a life-changing event.
The moon moves into balanced Libra by late afternoon, leading you to spend a lot of your time trying to enjoy the beauty of life and avoid conflict. This lunar energy sends you on a peace-seeking mission and gives you the tools to deal with things calmly, rationally and in a way that allows you to see both sides of every story. Tonight, you’re an excellent referee, diplomat and judge all rolled into one!

DAILY ORACLE
47 | Pig Spirit | Use your mind wisely.
Pig Spirit appears to remind you of the right use of intelligence, a gift we all have that is meant to be used with love, compassion, and discernment. Intelligence means recognizing the value of intuition partnered with smarts and common sense, which leads to intelligent solutions.
When Pig Spirit appears, you are called to respect your analytical mind and use it for the highest good, recognizing that all facts must be considered even when they do not fit with what you know already. Spirit blesses us with wisdom when we allow Pig Spirit to nudge us into open-minded, thoughtful dialogues, whether with others or internally as we mull over our ideas and what we have come to understand.
You are intelligent and capable of clear-minded thinking shaped by the wisdom you have accumulated and the intuition that will tell you when you have more learning to do because not all facts are in.
Now is a time that your decision-making powers are reliable, for you are in alignment with Pig Spirit’s keen intelligence.
