It’s hard to know what you really want today. The moody Moon is forming squares to both Mercury and Venus. You are conflicted about everything you do, from the route you take to work to what to eat for lunch. When in doubt, flip a coin. Jupiter’s protective influence is in full effect, creating lucky breaks for us all.

This indecision presents a valuable teaching moment. There’s no point in agonizing over minor matters. You’re better off keeping your eyes open for new opportunities. Take time to count your blessings, too. When you focus on what you have, rather than what you lack, you’ll realize how lucky you are.

You’ll find original solutions to long-standing problems today. Dynamic Mars forms a sextile to ingenious Uranus, prompting you to think outside of the box. Turn a deaf ear to traditionalists who fear change. If you don’t update the procedure, the whole organization will suffer. The worse thing that will happen is that people will be forced to learn how to use new technologies. That’s not such a horrible fate.

Not everyone will protest your proposal, though. Someone who is impressed by your ingenuity will develop a crush on you.It’s nice to know your sex appeal is working at full force!

Beware of making hasty decisions. It’s easy to get irritated when the Moon forms a square to generous Jupiter. This transit makes you want to pick up your toys and go home at the first sign of trouble. Consider the long-term consequences before making such a move. You’ve worked long and hard to get to this position. Do you really want to throw it all away because someone has insulted you?

You’re bound and determined to finish a bunch of chores today. It’s only natural now that the Virgo Moon trines Pluto in ambitious Capricorn. Unfortunately, traffic or technical problems will slow your progress. If you’re not able to perform certain jobs, just shrug your shoulders and move on to the next order of business. By the end of the day, you will have finished an impressive amount of work.

Although the sign of Virgo is associated with work and service, it has a sensual component, too. Schedule a massage or spa treatment at the end of the day. You will have earned a reward!

You’re willing to do what you can to get ahead today. The Moon is sextile ambitious Saturn, prompting you to make a good impression on the powers-that-be. Putting in extra hours, assuming more responsibilities, and learning different parts of the business are all good strategies. If you keep up the hard work, you will get a reward.

It is important to have a clear goal in mind. The Moon is also opposite dreamy Neptune. If you’re not sure what kind of work you’d like to be doing in the future, talk with your boss. Discuss any upcoming opportunities that might become available.

You’ll make a good impression on everyone you meet. The expressive Sun is making its way through communicative Gemini, making it easy to socialize. Meanwhile, the Moon is touring Leo, which helps you radiate warmth and kindness. People will be very responsive to this energy, and you’re bound to make at least one new friend.

If you have a chance to attend a big party, do so. Be sure to go with a big supply of business cards. When it comes to your career, who you know is more important than what you know, at least during this transit.

You’ll be obsessing over a love-hate relationship today. Don’t bother trying to figure out how you could adore someone one minute and despise them the next. When affectionate Venus forms a square to irritable Uranus, all sorts of craziness happens. Resist the urge to say something really hurtful to your best friend or lover. It’s better to leave the room when your loved one starts getting on your nerves.

If you start snapping at others for no reason, it means you’re tired. Force yourself to lie down and take a nap. Even a ten-minute rest in a darkened room can make all the difference.

Relationship tension will be running high today. Cooperative Venus opposes powerful Pluto, causing sparks to fly. If someone has been playing hot-and-cold with you, the time has come to put a stop to this dynamic. You’re tired of trying to figure out where you stand. Alternately, a once passionate romance could finally run out of steam. Part ways and move on to greener pastures.

Fortunately, stern Saturn will trine dreamy Neptune later in the day. This will give you something to hope for. You can build a solid foundation with someone who has stuck by you through thick and thin.

Making a detached decision will be difficult today. The Moon is traveling through moody Cancer, giving an emotional cast to your outlook. What seems like a simple decision to outsiders will make you feel torn. It seems like you’re being asked to hurt someone you love. The truth is, you have to hold this person to the same standard as everyone else.

The sooner you stop making excuses for your loved one’s bad behavior, the better. You have to admit that you’re getting tired of cleaning up their messes. Once your friend has to cope with the consequences of their actions, they’ll probably not commit the same mistake again.

Today is a good time to discuss religious, cultural, or ethical matters with a loved one. The sympathetic Moon is conjunct benevolent Jupiter. It will come as a relief to discover you share many of the same values with a friend, neighbor, or colleague. Sometimes, you feel very discouraged when watching the news. Knowing other people share your concerns is comforting.

Beware of exhausting your energies early in the day. Jupiter tends to make people overconfident. It will feel like you could climb Mount Everest when you wake up, but by mid-afternoon, you’ll be ready for a nap.
