Thursday, JULY 4

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 4:52 PM EDT, after which the Cancer Moon is more insular. We’re connecting with our needs for nurture, roots, safety, and familiarity.

A Mars-Juno trine encourages us to be direct with one another today. Our relationships strengthen as we share power and validate one another’s input and opinions. We act with more purpose and resolve but also have a strong awareness of other issues and others’ agendas, which is a powerful combination.

With Mercury in a minor challenging aspect to Saturn tonight, however, we should watch for hypersensitivity, negative thinking, and unhelpful criticism. It’s a somewhat beneficial influence for editing work, identifying flaws, or fixing problems, allowing us to be proactive rather than unhealthily focused on problem areas.

The Moon is void from 4:44 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 4:52 PM EDT (a brief VOC period).
