At 10:57 a.m.: The moon is square Mercury
It’s a bit of a cosmically quiet day until the Sagittarius moon and Mercury in Virgo lock into a tense square late in the morning. Adventurous impulses clash with rational thought, causing us to second-guess ourselves. Doubts threaten to disturb the precarious balance of our reality’s house of cards, and the idea that we might not know everything is deeply disturbing. To cover our misgivings, we puff ourselves up, claiming that we know best—and that those around us would be better off if they simply followed our advice. We’re much better at criticizing others than practicing what we preach now. Aim not to let anxiety mutate into judgement or belligerence.

At 11:40 a.m.: The moon is sextile Saturn
Shortly following this connection, the moon forms a sextile to Saturn in Aquarius. We might be interested in exploring traditional spiritual or community-based practices, to broaden our minds and diversify our beliefs. Perhaps the knowledge we lacked during the moon-Mercury square could be sought out at this time. There is wisdom in the words of elders and the presence of extended family. Connecting with our ancestry or our cultural history can change how we think and behave for the better.
