The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer. We’re seeking stronger emotional connections, although we also tend to play it safe. It can be helpful to find ways to center ourselves. The Cancer Moon is sensitive, cautious, receptive, and protective. Home or family matters are in stronger focus than usual.

Today’s Venus-Neptune square can cast a veil over our needs, wants, and perceptions. We may be dreaming up the ideal, which can clash with reality. We can lack some discrimination, particularly regarding people we care about, our relationships, and material things. We should make an effort to separate fact from fiction to not set ourselves up for disappointment. What appears to be a great buy or something we need may very well turn out to be useless to us, or worse, a financial drain or money pit.

Lines can blur when it comes to the pursuit of pleasure, as we can convince ourselves to believe what we want to think. We’re likely too close to the situation. Examining discontent experienced now may be an opportunity to identify where we’ve neglected our spiritual, idealistic, romantic, or imaginative needs.
