Daily aspects
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.
This is an important period not to get into fights with women, as there could be power and ego struggles. You may fight with family, and problems could occur over joint finances and taxes. It's highly important not to get involved in psychic practices, or astral travel right now, as you could attract the attention of evil entities.
This square can cause you to feel very lazy. You may just want to lie on the couch all day eating chips and ice cream, and drinking soda after soda. It's not a good time to invest money in any sort of real estate, or home décor, or renovations. It's also not a good time for any sort of risk taking or gambling, as your emotions will get too involved. If you are female, you may experience pain in the womb, hips and lower back while having your period.
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.
