Getting things done probably won’t be as simple as we think it should be today. When the fussy Virgo Moon contradicts energetic Mars in Aries at 6:48 pm EDT, our efforts to assert ourselves are likely to be met with criticism. It’s possible that our objections will sound ridiculously petty. Still, hearing them out as patiently as we can has the potential to help us accomplish whatever we’re trying to do more skillfully. We’ll ultimately need both passion and accuracy as we push forward!
March 21 – April 19
Your body might not live up to your expectations today. Perhaps you think you should be capable of some physical feat that makes you look impressive. Despite that, as the candid Moon in your 6th House of Daily Routines challenges athletic Mars in your sign, you’ll probably get only the results that you’ve earned over time. If you’re disappointed by that outcome, this is a great opportunity to establish a renewed exercise habit. Start with what will reliably happen, not what flatters your ego.
April 20 – May 20
You may long to express yourself at the moment, but you’re also aware that you ought to hold some information back. A desire to protect others’ feelings is understandable. Still, while the emotional Moon in your passionate 5th house conflicts with seething Mars in your 12th House of Secrets, your true opinions are probably more obvious than you want them to be. Passive aggression has a way of poisoning the atmosphere, so consider the idea that open conflict isn’t your only bad option.
May 21 – June 20
Social life may seem like a burden at present. Your friends might want you to go out and do stuff with them, but maybe you’re actually more interested in staying home. Your worries regarding what this conflict means for you in the long term could be the worst part of your dilemma. This isn’t a statement on how you’ll feel forever — it’s just about what you need today. Honor your desire, but don’t make it any bigger than it has to be.
June 21 – July 22
Being careful how you talk about an important goal may be necessary at this time. You potentially have a lot of energy to charge ahead. Regardless of your ability to handle criticism or praise, you’ll need to be aware that not everyone you encounter is qualified to provide genuine, authoritative feedback. While the impressionable Moon in your communication sector distracts focused Mars in your ambitious 10th house, a careless remark can throw you off. Don’t go looking for uninformed opinions.
July 23 – August 22
Your longing for a grand adventure could crash on the rocks of reality at any moment. While the anxious Moon in your money zone reins in ardent Mars in your travel sector, you’ll have to acknowledge when there are limits to what you’re able to afford. A few constraints don’t have to be the end of the story! Having boundaries, chosen or not, can sharpen the focus of your planning. Even if you don’t get everything you want, you can complete something valuable!
August 23 – September 22
Finding a comfortable balance in a developing relationship may be difficult today. With the vulnerable Moon in your sign, your emotional neediness is potentially heightened. That might cause you to misread a situation and delve into sensitive matters that the other person isn’t prepared to address with you. When in doubt, take things slower than you think you need to — a connection that’s truly meant to be should last long enough for you to reveal yourself at a relaxed pace.
September 23 – October 22
You might be conflicted regarding your current efforts to build a relationship. Although you may be excited about your prospects, you may also be worried that you’ll lose your privacy! If you feel like the other person is pressuring you to share more than you’re comfortable with, that’s not a good sign. Contrastingly, your expectations are potentially a bigger part of the problem. You aren’t required to share every secret you hold all at once — or, in most cases, ever.
October 23 – November 21
Knowing a friend needs you can flatter your ego. On the other hand, you might find it hard to tear yourself away from your official work — perhaps you’re really on a roll! To decide how to spend your time today, you’ll have to figure out what’s most urgent. You’ll potentially feel resentful about bailing your pal out of a problem they could really solve without you if they had to. Consider serving as a role model rather than as a savior.
November 22 – December 21
Concerns regarding your reputation could weigh on you now. As the perceptive Moon in your public 10th house conflicts with passionate Mars in your 5th House of Self-Expression, you may be acutely aware that pursuing your desires in a vacuum isn’t possible. Other people are likely to see what you’re doing, forming potentially conflicting opinions in response. You’ll have to be realistic about that in both directions — acknowledge the potential practical effects of their judgment, but do your best not to exaggerate them.
December 22 – January 19
You likely crave stimulation today — deciding where to look for it might be the hard part. With the desirous Moon in your 9th House of Adventure, you may be tempted to go somewhere outside your usual stomping grounds. That said, perhaps you’re also aware that you could accomplish a lot of positive change if you stayed home and focused your efforts there. Dealing with parts of your immediate environment that you don’t often see has the potential to satisfy both longings!
January 20 – February 18
Building emotional intimacy with a loved one could currently seem urgent. Unfortunately, as the hungry Moon in your 8th House of Sharing riles up pushy Mars in your conversation zone, interrogating your companion too aggressively has the potential to rub them the wrong way. You’re better off giving your connection room to unfold at its natural pace, even if that seems frustratingly slow. Not every question needs to be answered — you can learn to live with a healthy amount of mystery.
February 19 – March 20
Maintaining control over your resources could seem critical to you now. While the clingy Moon in your relationship sector nags individualistic Mars in your 2nd House of Possessions, you might explode if another person tries to tell you what to do with your money or belongings. It’s okay to defend your turf, but make sure you aren’t contributing to an ongoing problem by demanding everyone stick to inconsistent expectations. What’s yours is yours — just remember that what’s theirs is theirs, too.
