At 8:54 a.m.: The moon is square Venus

In the morning, the Taurus moon squares Venus in Leo, exacerbating unrequited desires. We’re in a social mood, in need of attention and affection, and any unkind or dismissive behavior can rattle us. If our feelings are not reciprocated, we can become moody, seeking out material or romantic distractions.  We may go looking for love in all the wrong places, becoming infatuated with anyone who shows interest in us, regardless of their qualifications as a match. Issues can flare up in committed partnerships as well. We can be careless with others’ emotions should we feel we are being snubbed. At this time, pursue pleasure in ways that won’t complicate your relationships.

At 10:57 a.m.: The sun is inconjunct Neptune

Late in the morning, the Leo sun forms a quincunx with Neptune in Pisces, blurring our view of reality. It is as though we are walking through a hall of mirrors, unable to determine an exit from a doorway deeper into the maze. This aspect makes situations and interactions difficult to pin down. We are capable of rationalizing behaviors that we should not, seeing what we want to see instead of what is Appearances are deceiving, but it is not the presumed deceiver who is pulling the wool over our eyes, it is our own idealistic desire to mold real life into a fantasy of our choosing. We should be skeptical of our intuition now, as it is fallible. Relaxing or indulging in creative activities are safer options than leaping to conclusions.
