Daily aspects
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.
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.
extile Saturn (Taurus) Your feelings are loyal and sincere. During this time, you are thorough and accurate, controlled, persistent, focused, and decent. You may fall for an older and more established person. It is a great time for business dealings, especially those related to art and luxury. If you need a favor from a person with a lot of prestige and wealth, now is the time to ask.
This opposition can excite you and make you belligerent and hasty. You may argue with the opposite sex, however, a lot of passion may occur. There can be a separation from your wife or mother. It is very easy to overspend during this transit. You may also repress feelings, and experience moodiness.
The Pisces Moon makes us sensitive, dreamy, and introverted. We have a lively imagination and also dream expressively. Meditation and contemplation are in the foreground on these days. The real world is far away. WE may also feel the need to immerse in our inner self.
