At 9:33 a.m.: The moon is square Chiron

Mid-morning, the Cancer moon squares off with Chiron in Aries, making for upset feelings. While others’ harsh words or actions may be the source of our woes, there is a higher likelihood that we will beat ourselves down through self-censure before others have the opportunity to criticize us. This transit intends to create situations where we feel exposed. Without being vulnerable, we will never become aware of the true potency of our gifts. If we do not cultivate an appreciation for our own uniqueness, we will additionally fail to unlock greater empathy for others. Everyone benefits when we risk radical honesty.

At 6:06 p.m.: Venus is square Neptune

In the evening, Venus in Sagittarius squares off with Neptune in Pisces, stimulating unwarranted romantic idealism. During this transit, titles like “savior,” “soulmate,” or “twin flame” can be casually thrown around. We idolize lovers and partners, placing them on a pedestal and assigning them exceptional qualities. And this is the crux of the issue: by elevating another person above ourselves, we lose perspective of our own worth. Because of this, we can miss red flags entirely, rationalizing away disconcerting behavior or outright toxic treatment. Rejection by the person in question would lead to heartbreak, leaving those around us confused as to why we’ve been so hung up on a person who clearly does not deserve us. At this time, we are better off engaging with fantasy in healthier ways. Try making a vision board to conceptualize your ideal mate! Whether or not we can manifest a paramour who meets our standards in this way, it certainly will do us no harm. If nothing else, it will prevent us from projecting our expectations onto someone who has an alternate agenda.
