At 3:43 p.m.: The moon is opposite Mercury

The cosmic weather is quiet today until the Scorpio moon opposes Mercury in Taurus mid-afternoon, scrambling our intuition. Complex emotions cloud our judgment and cause us to misread exchanges. Because communication is frustrating under these conditions, we are better off avoiding negotiations and delaying pivotal decisions. If we must make an election, we should be mindful not to do so from a place of fear. Keeping mum will help us to preserve the peace while gaining clarity on what it is that we truly feel.

At 3:51 p.m.: The moon is trine Venus

Following this, the moon trines Venus in Pisces, an ideal time to relax with friends. This influence counteracts the anxious edge of the moon-Mercury opposition. It can even help us to communicate non-verbally. Sentimental feelings abound, making us less interested in arguing to prove a point. Rather than probing for answers, we connect more deeply with our own feeling state and with the energies of others, helping us to recalibrate our intuitive barometer.
