The moon enters Taurus around 1am and then, around 5.30am, the moon in Taurus will form a square with Pluto in Aquarius. This is going to stir up some of your fears, your shadow side. It might give you the urge to want to control a certain situation or an outcome, sometimes feelings of jealousy, manipulation, obsessive thoughts or even power struggles can emerge when the moon clashes into Pluto. This is a moment where we are really struggling with surrendering control and we are either too fixated on the past or the future. This is an invitation to be present with whichever feelings are emerging, for you to be curious about them and ultimately it can spark a moment of self-awareness or even healing. Now, around 6 30 AM, venus and Gemini will form a sextile with Mercury retrograde and Leo, and this is pretty cute. This energy brings lucky news. It makes people feel seen and heard. It's great for listening. It's great for hashing out issues from the past, because Mercury is retrograde. If you didn't act in alignment with your values and you want to apologize or you want to extend forgiveness to someone else, this can be great for making amends. In general, it is a great socializing aspect. It's great for combining your mind and your creative interests. It's great for telling someone you love them or appreciate them, and you sure as hell could hear from someone from your past like, yes, even an ex. Now, this is taking place at 15 degrees, so if you have any planets or placements around 15 degrees, especially of the fire or air signs, you'll feel the benefits of this the most intensely. But in general, this should bring some sort of news or conversation your way that brings a sense of support or even fulfillment.

Now, around 4 pm, the moon in Taurus will form a sextile with Jupiter in Cancer, and this is also wonderful energy. This can help you feel emotionally supported, grounded. It can help connect you with your intuition. It can bring lucky news your way. It can mean you are doing something fun with a friend. It can also mean you're just eating a really delicious meal or you have a really cozy blanket and a comfortable couch and a heater that works. This is a great moment to really reflect on everything you have to be grateful in your life, the things that we often take for granted or overlook. In general, this is a moment of feeling supported, and it's also a great time to do divination work or work with your intuition. If you do want to have an important conversation or share important personal news, leading up to 4pm would be a great window of time.
