Daily aspects
extile Moon (Gemini) Your energy will feel slightly passive today, and you will be able to think rationally acting with your head, instead of just your emotions. You will treat your fellow human beings as equals. Employer and employee relationships will run smoothly. You feel at home everywhere during this time. Relatives and friends are helpful, so you should turn to them, but quickly because, unfortunately, this aspect does not last long.
The square aspect between the Sun and Neptune can cause delusions of grandeur, as well as psychosis. You may want to escape from things, to avoid responsibility. Alcohol, recreational drugs and getting intimate with the wrong people, as well as gambling, are all vices that will put you in danger, especially when it comes to your mental health. Right now, it is important to eat well, stay away from too much caffeine and sugar, get a bit of vitamin D from the sun, as well as enough sleep, and walk, or exercise, for at least 30 minutes.
During this transit, there could be delays in communication. Travel isn't supported right now. You may get lost in unfamiliar territory. You may not be able to focus well, mentally, and thoughts could create emotional upset. You may fight with siblings or neighbors, and you need to be careful when texting messages, as you may send them to the wrong people.
The Cancer Moon supports the unfolding of the pleasant side of life. The longing for home and homeland, rest, and security are in the foreground. It is an excellent opportunity to relax and develop new energy in our soul.
