Moon (Sagittarius) Square Saturn (Pisces)

You may experience indigestion during this square, so "heavy" foods like red meat should be avoided. Try stick to low GI food to keep your energy up. You should cancel any important meetings you have with women, and definitely don't sign business contracts - especially if it has to do with feminine products. You may feel very teary and depressed, so lay off the candy and alcohol. It's best to exercise and take walks in nature right now, and spend time with pets that give you unconditional love.

Moon (Sagittarius) Square Neptune (Pisces)

This transit can cause a dreamy disposition, passive attitude, tendency to self-deception, imbalance, hypersensitivity, weakened instinctual life, and nervous disorders. You could also get lost in wishful thinking. Try not watch horror movies during this time, as it may disturb you, and could lead to vivid nightmares.

Moon → Capricorn

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.
