With the Moon in adventurous Sagittarius, the focus is on learning and gaining wisdom. Holding on to this perspective can be helpful today since it may be a bit rough and tumble in the relationship arena. That’s because Venus, the planet of love, forms a stressful square with powerful Pluto.

Not only that but assertive Mars forms an abrasive aspect with expanding Jupiter. Passions may flair and jealousies surface. If it’s been easy to skirt around honesty, today it won’t be. It’s as if there is no choice but to be truthful, at the very least with yourself.

The Sun is at 26 degrees Aquarius, the Moon is in Sagittarius, Mercury is in Pisces, Venus is in Aries and Mars is in Virgo. With this combination of planetary energies try to: Focus on only one task at a time until you get the job done. Try not to: Avoid pressing responsibilities. They’ll only press harder.

Today’s exact aspects are their keywords are:

- Moon Trine Venus: Love and Affection

- Venus Square Pluto: Emotional Archeology

 Mars is retrograde in Virgo and Saturn is retrograde in Libra.

Happy birthday to Jane Seymour, Matt Groening and Janice Dickinson.
