Thursday, FEBRUARY 5

Mercury squares Uranus today, stirring our senses but also producing mental pressure. We could have sudden flashes of insight or fresh new ideas. It can be challenging to organize our thoughts or deal with routine matters under this influence. Tasks may be left undone or interrupted.

It’s not a good time to be understood, so we should hold off on presenting our ideas for the time being. New information can surface now that upsets the status quo, but it can also stimulate our minds to adopt new ways of thinking.

Patience in communication is key to navigating potential misunderstandings and conflicts.

Also today, the Sun forms a quincunx with Jupiter, and we can feel torn between two ideas or drives, perhaps see-sawing between alternatives. It can be challenging to arrive at satisfying conclusions. It’s a time of adjustment and letting go of old habits to free ourselves for new experiences.

We seek out nourishment from others, and we are more inclined to nurture and support others and projects today. Putting a lot of energy and time into our loved ones, projects, or causes is a tendency now, but we may do so to excess. We can experience overload or feel we can’t pursue our own goals as a result.

The Moon continues its transit of Virgo until 4:33 AM EST, when it enters Libra. With the Libra Moon, we’re gracious, accommodating, and willing to meet people halfway. Ideally, this Moon helps moderate and balance us.

The Moon is void from 2:49 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Saturn), until the Moon enters Libra at 4:33 AM EST.
