Heightened sensitivity and an easier ability to tune into other people’s emotions are on tap when the Moon is in Pisces. The alignments it makes with powerful Pluto and wise Chiron further enhance the Piscean urge to help others. Given that messenger Mercury also harmoniously aligns with both Pluto and Chiron, words and thoughts take on special healing powers.

If friends have been emotionally under the weather, today’s a good time to connect with them. Be sure to be diligent in all you do: the Sun’s connection with serious Saturn is a reminder that cutting corners isn’t always prudent and can have cause stress down the road.

The Sun is at 24 degrees Taurus, the Moon is in Pisces,  Mercury is in Taurus, Venus is in Gemini and Mars is in Virgo. With this combination of planetary energies try to: Plan a romantic escape near water. It’ll be a liquid, limpid time. Try not to: Let a little criticism destroy you. The boss may have a point.

Today’s only exact aspect is:

• Mercury Trine Pluto: A Way with Words.
• Saturn, Pluto are retrograde.

And finally happy birthday to Cate Blanchett, George Lucas and Sofia Coppola.
