Daily aspects
The Scorpio Moon gives us intense energy . Passion, sensuality, impulsiveness , but also dispute and vindictiveness determine these days. We want to experience something new, but it is also easier to deal with severe changes.
It is not a good time to sign any contracts to do with business or marriage. Fraud may occur in joint finances, taxes, and insurances. Your secret enemies are gossiping behind your back, so take it in your stride, and don't react to negativity - rather simply walk away. You need to be very careful when getting intimate, and insist on protection at all costs, as viruses are easy to spread right now. If you are being medicated by a psychiatrist, they may not give you the right combination of pills at the moment, so just be patient. You may experience violent nightmares at night.
extile Neptune (Capricorn) This aspect between Mercury and Neptune gives you a refined mental sensation, keen intuition, rich world of ideas, and a sense of poetry and art. You can realize your plans and have high hopes and beliefs. It's a fun time to go out on dates where you should make the extra effort to look really good. You'll get a lot of natural inspiration if you're an artist.
