Daily aspects
The Capricorn Moon gives us seriousness, deliberation, concentration, and determination. Even ambitious goals can be a little closer. Duty calls, private life is neglected. There is a short time for enjoyment and leisure.
We may be eccentric, headstrong, hyper, irritable, and moody during this time. We are prone to changing moods. Willfulness may show itself in love. Do not make hasty decisions at this time. They tend to do exactly the opposite of what is expected of them. There could be unexpected challenges or rapid changes today. Fortunately, this aspect will pass after two hours.
This conjunction gives you a strong sense of love, pleasure in luxury and beauty, and popularity with those attracted to you. You feel fit and friendly, and have a warm, positive charisma, especially for those where attraction is apparent from both sides. Interest in art and culture can emerge. However, be careful of indulging in too much luxury, and letting money run through your fingers.
The conjunction between Mercury and Venus inspires our sense of manners, social talent, and aesthetic will. We are cheerful, helpful, friendly, eloquent, and adaptable. Our imagination and inspiration appear more and more. It's a great time for dating, and speaking to potential dates online through dating apps.
This conjunction offers intense mental energy, an excellent ability to concentrate, a good memory, understanding of art, talent for languages, and a keen interest in literature. Traffic on the road, and travel in the sky, should go smoothly with this aspect.
