One-on-one time goes well today
Feelings about your partner may be stronger than usual. Share them in a calm way. Waiting for the right moment can help.
With Venus moving through your sector of retreat, quiet pleasures restore you best, so book a long bath, a solitary walk or a lazy afternoon with a good novel.
A crossed line between the Moon and Mercury may cause small misunderstandings, so ask one clarifying question rather than assuming.
Listening closely to someone you are tied to reveals something about yourself, so give that conversation your whole attention.
The Moon moves into Gemini at your time, turning attention to intimacy and shared resources (your 8th house).
Love
1/10
Closeness takes more effort than usual today. Small mix-ups with the people you love can hurt more than they need to. Today the Moon faces Mercury from across the sky. Mercury rules your house of shared bonds, so this is hard on love. Venus is in Libra, your house of rest. Venus there adds a small strain on love.
Career
5/10
Your job feels familiar today. You know what needs doing, and you can get it done without much fuss or delay. Mars is in Leo, your house of career. Mars there helps your work along. Today the Moon meets Mars at a hard angle in the sky. Mars is in your house of career now, so this makes work harder.
Energy
3/10
Your pace is slower than usual today. Ordinary effort feels a little heavier on your body than it normally would. Today the Moon faces Mercury from across the sky. Mercury is in your house of self now, so this lowers your energy. Mercury, now in your house of self, is in Scorpio. Mercury gets no help from Scorpio, seems to move backward and sits near the Sun's glare. That drains you a little more.
- Lean into
- Plan something nice with your partner.
