Good Morning!

Today the Moon remains in Capricorn and conjuncts Pluto until 10:57am (MST). The emotional expression combines with will power and transformation. We may find ourselves getting in touch with deeper desires and authoritatively expressing them. Capricorn Moon can hold back out of pessimistic or negative thinking, but Pluto brings the cleansing and cathartic need to transform and change. The Astrology King writes of this time, “Take care not to react too strongly to overpowering feelings. Your intuition may be correct but could obscure your rational thought processes and conscious judgement skills … In relationships you may encounter controlling and manipulative behaviors like jealousy, guilt tripping, threats, intimidation, violence or self harm. Remove yourself from such negative and destructive people and environments. You can transcend your own challenging emotions and behaviors through meditation, self-analysis, or other technique to understand your feelings.” Capricorn Moon energy may help to mitigate some of the compulsiveness of this energy and allow us to employ more self control as Capricorn rules mastery of the self.

The Moon in Capricorn sextiles the Sun in Scorpio until 1:21pm (MST). This time can assist us in getting to the bottom of any issues. The Sun in Scorpio shines its light through the lens of seeking to know the Truth of things. When the Moon and Sun blend, our emotions and our will work together. We can accomplish much during this time, while staying open to transformation and change. The realistic and authoritative energy of Capricorn Moon grounds the Sun in Scorpios emotions into an ability to handle situations practically. If we need to move on, we can do this at this time.

The Moon in Capricorn squares Venus retrograde in Libra until 11:32pm (MST). We may encounter a challenge between the inability to express our feelings verses finding harmony and balance in our relations. We may feel stretched between what we feel responsible for verses what we truly value and appreciate. Capricorn Moon helps temper any Venusian excess and can help us preserver in attaining what we desire. This could be a time of endings and moving forward in our emotional relationships as Venus continues her retrograde through Libra.

Make it a great day!
