The Moon, in Sagittarius, makes harmonious connections with Uranus (at 8:09 AM) and the Sun (at 12:46 PM), creating an energized, brilliant atmosphere, but watch out for sensitive emotions when the Moon challenges Venus at 12:54 PM. There's a chilly vibe when the Moon meets serious Saturn at 2:26 PM, before entering grounded Capricorn at 7:05 PM. Venus mingles with Mars at 9:24 PM, putting people in a flirty, energized mood. The Moon makes an easy connection with Mercury at 11:55 PM, helping us make some sense of our emotions—but not too much sense, since Mercury is retrograde! All times EST.
