The Moon is conjunct Saturn in Capricorn and squaring the Sun in Libra. We all may experience an emotional aloofness as we feel more invested in practical goals and strategies. This may put us at odds with the needs and desires of others. Alternatively, we might feel as though others are bulldozing ahead with their plans without any consideration for how those plans may affect us. Venus, also in Libra, is still squaring Pluto in Capricorn which makes us a tad possessive . . . and perhaps a tad entitled. Mercury in Scorpio indicates that our minds may be a little suspicious of others' motivations. What do we do with these planetary dynamics? Tap into the energy of Jupiter in Sagittarius squaring Neptune retrograde in Pisces. This configuration is helping us see the bigger picture: external circumstances are simply highlighting areas of personal insecurity so they can be healed through conscious awareness and attention.

Tarot Card of the Day: The King of Cups . . . Again! Emotional mastery and intelligence and divine masculine energy are the general themes. But today, he represents something a little different than he did yesterday. Where do our emotions originate? Often they are reactions to the thoughts in our head. Where do the thoughts in our heads originate? Often they have very little to do with the reality of the present moment . . . Our thoughts are simply a habitual narrative that is constantly running in the background like an old movie reel. It forces us to relive experiences of the past, fear an imagined future, or escape into an ungrounded fantasy.

Why is this movie still playing? That is the question the King of Cups is asking today. Mercury in Scorpio likes to obsess over and fixate on specific issues. This can either sink us into a depressive state or it can allow us to bravely investigate our own insecurities, delusions, and illusions. Instead of pointing an accusatory finger at the external world for aggravating a wound, let's just heal the wound once and for all. Today is also a great day for acknowledging and appreciating divine masculine energy wherever, in whoever, and however it appears.
