Daily aspects
extile Mercury (Pisces) This is a good time for any sort of marketing, advertising and public relations. You may be heavily involved in communicating with family over Zoom calls or WhatsApp group chats. It's a great time to buy a car and go on short-distance travels. You'll also enjoy the company of neighbors. If you go on dates, great communication will occur. You and your loved one communicate effectively.
Fun and entertainment are the order of the day at Aquarius Moon. The relationship with friends, fraternity, and social issues touch us deeply. Now it is the best time to do something crazy together, but also to get involved in social causes.
When Mercury is in Aries, we get a sharp and quick mind. We think constructively and focus on real actions. During this time, we act quickly; we are passionate and often violent in discussions.
The square between Mercury and Saturn can make you greedy, suspicious, resentful, quarrelsome, and stubborn. Failures could occur. In the family circle, there can be disputes and separations. Inhibitions in the mental-spiritual area could occur. There may be a lot of delays at work. It's best to avoid those in charge at work, and just get the work done with a positive attitude.
This is a not a good time to bond with others emotionally. You may have arguments with your mother, or motherly figure, as well as other females. If you are creative, you may paint objects, portraits, or landscapes, only to be disappointed in what you have made and destroy it afterwards. If you are female, you may experience period cramps and excessive PMS irritability and aggression.
extile Uranus (Aries) This is a great time for going out with friends and having fun! You may change things up at home, with either how things are conducted, or by redecorating. You may bring new technology into the house, such as smart televions, laptops and security. This transit is perfect for creating memorable romantic dates that are out of the ordinary! It's also a good transit for any sort of business dealing with hi-tech and women, or feminine products.
