Daily aspects
The Libra Moon makes us cheerful and open-minded; it reinforces the desire for harmony in us. Love and partnership are at the center of our interest. We are feeling a romantic mood and can spend precious hours with our partner. We are open to new acquaintances.
Under this aspect, you are restless and impatient, hardly dealing with things for a long time. You're rash with your judgments, and impatiently interrupt others. You always think you're right, and can't bear rejection by those close to you. You also tend to overwork. Your mind works fine, but you often jump to decisions too quickly, making mistake after mistake. You don't want to deal with "unimportant things," overlooking important matters. You should slow down a bit.
In terms of love and marriage, this is a unique aspect, as it is an auspicious time to get married. Your feeling of love is reliable, and you are adaptable and courteous. You are in a cheerful mood, care for your family, and avoid arguments and conflicts. You will also definitely enjoy the pleasures of food!
You may have visions of grandeur, and feel like you are godly. Your imagination may take you places that don't make sense, and you might turn to alcohol and recreational drugs to feel better. You may feel slightly melancholic. It will be good for you to express yourself creatively, from painting to playing music.
This Trine between the Moon and Uranus gives you great attention, persuasiveness, ambition, creativity and originality. You go your own way, and look for new methods of doing things. You are determined, imaginative, keen to travel, and optimistic! This transit also lends itself to great opportunities for creating advertising campaigns geared at women!
Your emotional life is active during this time but could be one-sided. You experience the awakening of your feelings. You might feel the desire to experience adventures, extreme actions, traveling, and discovering new places. It is an excellent time for discarding items you no longer need or use at home. You may desire a beauty makeover!
