As the moon continues its journey through the sky, it makes a sweet connection to Mercury and Mars, giving us the opportunity to feel ourselves a bit. You’ll be in the mood to express yourself and show your creative side.
Be sure to add some flair to your appearance as the sun aligns with the North Node of Destiny. The energy here is big, and it can help fill our hearts with optimism and joy. This aspect is also very lucky and will lend a hand to your personal goals and bring focus to your aspirations. Just be sure to remain grounded, so you can be practical about anything you wish to accomplish at the moment.
Today’s auspicious energy also makes it a great time to light a candle and communicate your deepest desires to the Universe, so make your intentions known to the other side! The vibe remains mostly hopeful through the rest of the day, and a soft aspect between the moon and Jupiter promises to bring us sweet dreams as well. Be sure to close your day with a meditation to connect with your heart and gratitude.
Mercury is stationing and will turn retrograde on Friday. The re-evaluation process is fully underway. Our focus may have been on the past — perhaps determinedly so. We can now begin to allow that focus to shift into integrating the past into our development of the future we envision. We may be seeking stability by grounding ourselves in reflections of past accomplishments, past experiences, and past alliances. But we must begin to understand how that past will inform our future. The retrograde motions of Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus directly represent this challenge. With Mercury soon to be retrograde in Libra, we can begin to turn our focus towards how to balance the lessons of our past with a vision of our future.
