Daily aspects
The conjunction between the Moon and Jupiter could mean significant financial gains, as well as social success, but also the tendency to find enjoyment and socialize. During this time, you also have a healthy life instinct, wealthy feelings, artistic inclinations, and ambition.
extile Mars (Aries) This aspect gives you the ability to communicate well with the opposite sex. Good relationships will occur at work, and you'll feel a lot of drive to achieve more - or even have a side project working from home. You may also have a craving to eat hot and spicy food, so go take your partner, or friends, to the closest Indian or Mexican restaurant! Just know that it'll be easy to burn off the extra calories, as you'll be inspired to exercise more.
extile Moon (Aquarius) 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.
This Square can make you out of control, unpredictable, cranky, eccentric, quick-tempered, nervous, hasty, and fragmented. Ideas cannot always be carried out. You could be impractical and very convinced of your own opinions. Hurried failures could occur, including sudden changes and incidents. You may feel extreme psychological and nervous tension.
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!
extile Uranus (Sagittarius) 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.
