The Jupiter/Saturn angle discussed yesterday, which is giving us additional responsibilities, is still in full effect today. It is being compounded by a transit from the Sun to Saturn. This causes us to spread ourselves a little too thin, and with it comes a realization that we can’t possibly be everywhere at once and do everything that is necessary to do. Ordinarily we should just do what we can and not feel guilty about requiring rest after a long day. However, the Moon’s transit through the Sun-ruled sign Leo will give us the opportunities to meet challenges with strength and drive. It will give us the power to plow through obstacles. Leo gives us stamina and performance. Ego and drama rule!

The Word of the Day is STURDY. We can keep our energetic fire burning, getting things done, while pushing obstructions aside.

The Color of the Day is DOVE GRAY. (It’s medium gray.) Avoid sharp edges today by wearing dove gray, which will deflect trouble while keeping us strong and happy.

We feel overly accountable for everything we care about today. The ongoing Jupiter/Saturn angle enlarges our feelings of duty. Retrograde Venus is also making an angle to Jupiter today, directing us to feel personally responsible for things that have happened. We wonder if our efforts have been sufficient to mitigate a situation and we worry that it may not be enough. However, with today’s Moon in the Sun-driven sign Leo, we should be proud of our accomplishments. Retrograde Venus will encourage us to move on from distain and find new ways to relate to others. By the end of the day, we’ll know that we’ve accomplished a lot more than we had expected.

The Word of the Day is ENLIGHTEN. Today’s horoscope guides us to take ideas one step further.

The Color of the Day is AQUA. (It’s the bright, light, green/blue that reflects off the ocean) Conversations come easily and are packed with great information. Wearing something aqua today will make everything seem that much more exciting!

Because the Moon will be void-of-course all day tomorrow and five of our planets, including Mercury and Venus, are retrograde right now, we should not expect that we can stick to a schedule then. So, today should be one that we use our time to do whatever daily chores need to be accomplished. The major astrological influence for today is that Venus and Jupiter are going to be giving the day some extra spice. Venus is in an air sign fanning the flames of Jupiter’s fire sign. It’s going to be a great day to indulge ourselves in the pleasures of life. Situations that we may have thought would be stressful are going to turn out to be a lot easier than expected.

The Word of the Day is SCAN. Glide past snags today with the realization that we can get further if we don’t stall our momentum.

The Color of the Day is MUSKRAT. (It’s brown.) Wear the color of the industrious muskrat today to get things done without wearing ourselves out.

Today will be a day to go back over our projects and hone them in whatever way gives us the most satisfaction. We are going to be involved in getting the things we want to develop perfected, and details worked out. Insights and ideas may pop up as we stray from our normal routines. The reason for this is that the Moon will be void-of-course all day in the sign Virgo, which will diffuse our schedules. People will take the time to slow down to figure out ways to make their lives and their work more efficient and effective. Since Mercury, the planet of intellect, rules Virgo and it is retrograde right now, it will be a great day to follow thought threads!

The Word of the Day is INCORPORATE. Today is one during which we’ll feel compelled to pay attention to the fine points, so we can create a workable path.

The Color of the Day is SAGE. (It’s grayed green.) Keep our wits about us today, as we handle complexities. Wear something in the color sage.

Every year on or about this day, the Sun makes an aspect to two stars that motivate us to take action and get things done honorably. Two different stars support this with retrograde )Venus’ interaction with them. We will be influenced to respectably find new ways to relate to others, and to create new paths to higher understanding. The Moon has ended its void-of-course period and entered the sign Libra for its 2 and a half day stay for this month. This represents a time when people get a lot calmer and become less rigid when decision-making is involved. Moods will be a bit more balanced, and our relationships will feel harmonious. The Moon in Libra strives to create fair outcomes and smooth ruffled social situations.

The Word of the Day is ATTEND. People become aware of the existence of others and their contributions to the world today.

The Color of the Day is CRANBERRY. (It’s light, bright red.) Feel important today, wearing something in the color cranberry!

The presiding influence over the day is an angle between Mercury and Saturn. Mercury controls our thoughts and Saturn manages how we think about our obligations. In aspect, they cause us to ponder and dwell on things we may have not gotten done or promises that we haven’t kept. Usually, we can glide by this aspect, which happens a couple of times per year, but because Mercury is retrograde , and will be for another week, our thoughts may be clouded by guilt. However, the Moon’s continuing transit of the sign Libra will lighten the mood because it will enable us to see what we have to do to create the balance we need to cast any ill feelings aside. Libra strives for social harmony.

The Word of the Day is PROSPECT. We look at situations involving relationships from a different angle today and have the ability to act in the best interests of ourselves and our partners.

The Color of the Day is CREAM BEIGE. (It’s white spirited by a dab of glossy darkness.) Attract those to whom we want to relate by finding something in our closet to wear today that has cream beige in it.

Every year around this date the Sun comes into contact with the star with the star Zuben Elgenubi, which directs our focus to things we can do to create a more socially acceptable culture. This drive will be particularly strong today with the Moon void-of-course in the sign Libra. This will cast our focuses on smoothing over snags and bumps in the road. Even though people will be prone to mood changes today, we’ll try to harmonize our lives. Libra is the friendliest sign of the zodiac. Socializing and taking care of our bodies and minds through exercise and relaxation might be enjoyable things to do today. Letting our minds wander or listening to someone else’s views may enhance our day, too.

The Word of the Day is MAINTAIN. Keep a firm grip on the direction of the day!

The Color of the Day is CLIMBING YELLOW ROSE. (It’s light yellow.) Hearty, yet delicately colored, this variety of rose is strong and attractive. Wear some of its color today to keep control.

The Sun will be in a rather confrontational aspect to Neptune today. Realities will be challenged by imagination. The creation of the ideal life may become obscured by the lack of energy or resources to see the project through. Nonetheless, this angle will guide us to dream about possibilities that will spark creativity. The Moon has entered Scorpio, the sign of tomorrow’s New Moon. This will guide us to think a bit deeper about topics that interest us that we might want to explore after Mercury goes direct at the end of the week. In fact, when the Moon passes by retrograde Mercury today, our curiosities may run further than we would normally let them go. It might be fun to talk about our dreams!

The Word of the Day is SCHEME. Dream up and plan exciting things to do today!

The Color of the Day is ORIOLE. (It’s rich orange.) Wear the color of the bird Baltimore oriole today to keep our thoughts strong and exhilarating!

We will experience the fresh new start of the New Moon in Scorpio today! Over the coming month we will search to uncover answers to things we may have been curious about. This is the influence of Scorpio, which will make us want to look at things a little more deeply than usual. But for today, Venus is making an important angle to Mars. The border between the yin and yang of our personalities will blur. This means that our thoughts and energies will be directed away from mundane responsibilities and more towards things we want to do. This will work nicely with the New Moon because we’ll reminisce about happy times in the past and look into expounding on those experiences.

The Word of the Day is ADAPT. We begin to look beneath the surface and reform to fit our growing situations.

The Color of the Day is EGGPLANT. (It’s a very dark purple.) Our intuition will increase today if we allow ourselves to be a bit more sensitive while wearing a bit of the color eggplant.

The next seven days are going to be astrologically significant because both Mercury and Venus will appear to be standing still in the sky. On Friday, they’ll both be turning direct, no longer retrograde , but that movement will be imperceptible for a while. After Friday we’ll start to be able to feel like we are looking to the future instead of reflecting on the past. Over the next few days, we’ll finish airing out differences within relationships and start creating a solid foundation upon which to stand so we can move ahead. The Moon will be transiting Sagittarius today, a sign that likes us to do the right thing and will say so bluntly. This will urge us to make daring changes.

The Word of the Day is RETROSPECT. If we review ideas we have had and not acted on, we may find hints of ways to conduct our day to our fullest advantage.

The Color of the Day is AQUAMARINE. (It’s a pale blue with a splash of yellow.) If we wear aquamarine we will find our ability to attract to be much greater than usual.

Mercury and Venus are both making the optical illusions that they are slowing to a stop before changing direction. We had seen them as having been moving in a retrograde motion. On Friday, they will turn direct. Over the next several days, both will be in aspects to Mars. The Mercury/Mars connection will activate our minds with quick thoughts and inspirations about things we might want to consider doing, while the Venus/Mars angle takes our physical mobility to a different level. We’ll want to do things that define what we perceive as our pleasures in life. The Moon’s travels through Sagittarius will support both of these Mars aspects. It will push us forward with good intentions, while making us more adaptable to changes that occur.

The Word of the Day is CRAVE. We dream today about things we would like to include in our lives. We work to get what we want.

The Color of the Day is PINK. (It’s pink.) Let’s put a little bit of spunk in our drive by wearing something pink today.

Tomorrow both Mercury and Venus will end their retrograde motions, freeing us with newfound ability to make important decisions without the complications and consequences we’ve been struggling with. It’s a lot more difficult to look ahead when you’re looking backward. So, for today we really do need to stop and take a breath. Reminiscing and telling stories about things that have happened are good ways to spend time today. It’s best not to shop or schedule important meetings at all today because, in addition to Mercury still being retrograde, the Moon will be void-of-course in Sagittarius for nine hours and mistakes can be made. Sagittarius is a fire sign and one that creates the excitement of doing things that we feel good about.

The Word of the Day is PATIENCE. As much as we may not want to, we should wait to make any important moves.

The Color of the Day is MESQUITE. (It’s grayish brown.) Wear the color of the sturdy desert-dweller today for stamina and tolerance.

At what seems like long last, Mercury and Venus will be going direct today. Mercury will change direction nine hours before Venus, so we’ll concentrate on that today. Those of us who experience mechanical failures during retrograde Mercury periods will find some relief from the past few weeks’ difficulties. Still, there is a bit more straightening out to be done before we forge ahead. Tomorrow will offer a better time to get things started, especially since there is also a Sun/Pluto angle that creates a hindrance to our forward progress. We’ll have to stop and take care of that before we move ahead. With Venus direct, those of us who want to begin relationships can really have a shot at success.

The Word of the Day is DISCHARGE. Let go of reflective thoughts and look forward into our dreams for the future today.

The Color of the Day is LAUREL. (It’s leafy green.) Feel the release of pent-up energies by wearing the color laurel and feeling victorious.

The Sun will aspect to newly-direct Venus today, causing things to be not be quite what they seem with our relationships. (People will probably feel a little uneasy over this one.) But whatever grievance we perceive can enlighten us to the fact that we have to create our own individual paths. Even when deeply involved with someone, we each remain singular, distinct entities. Compromise is a loving key to solid relationships, but there are times when we need to be true to ourselves to create peace of mind. Also, now that Venus is direct, our own material security should improve from the state that it has been in over the past month, and feelings of well-being will start indulging us again.

The Word of the Day is DISTINCTION. Make all of our moves within our own characteristics today with ability, self-assurance, and care.

The Color of the Day is POLAR BEAR WHITE. (It’s off-white) Blend easily into the background while casting an important shadow today, wearing polar bear white.

Today is a day during which we feel as though we’ve been given added responsibilities while the Sun and Saturn are making a challenging angle to each other. In order to fulfill ourselves today we will need to be physically active and take on whatever needs to be done. But, it shouldn’t come as a hardship because Mars and Jupiter are working together today to give us an added boost of energy. This aspect creates optimism and a winning atmosphere! People feel as though they can’t possibly lose. But we should be careful, because with heads in the clouds, we could easily miss a step. Today’s Moon in Aquarius will urge us to do things that make us feel a little more savvy than usual.

The Word of the Day is SOAR. Fly where we need to go, with today’s horoscope lifting our energies to new levels.

The Color of the Day is CABBAGE. (It’s the purple, not the white or green.) Bring out the exuberance of the day by wearing something in the color of cabbage.

The Sun will be affiliated with the star Agena proliferating gossip and scandal today. But, the Moon will be transiting the sign Aquarius. We’re going to feel as though we’re a bit uncomfortable with the manner in which we respond. It may seem that people expect us to react in a particular way, but we are detached from our emotions. This will guide us to break down social barriers to do what we think is best for our friends, acquaintances and the general public. Even though it may seem at times that we might not care enough, Aquarius is always thinking of ways to make things better. We’ll be kept on a steady path and we’ll have more stamina than usual.

The Word of the Day is SANCTUARY. Stepping aside from sentimental interactions, while being caring and helpful is the fine line we walk today.

The Color of the Day is GUNMETAL. (It’s dark silver.) To call today’s general guidance, wear something in the color gunmetal.

We’ll have the continued energy of optimism and hope today. Energy levels spike and tempers are going to flare. There’s a square between the Mars/Jupiter conjunction and the Sun that pushes us to get going. Usually with this angle something happens that prompts us into a situation that we don’t necessarily want to be in. But we know we have to be satisfied with our actions, so we jump in and express ourselves to whomever is receptive to try to make a positive outcome. Because Jupiter is involved, everything seems of greater importance. But the caveat is that the Moon will be void-of-course for about seven hours in the adventurous sign Aquarius, so we may find that we’re diverted off our intended course.

The Word of the Day is IMPULSION. Revel in the forward motion of the day, as we are urged to get on with our lives.

The Color of the Day is SWEET POTATO. (It’s orange.) Spring into action wearing the color sweet potato today and breathing life into our inspirations!

Throughout this week there may be extreme situations that we’ll have to handle because of the ongoing square from the Sun to the Mars/Jupiter conjunction. However, moods will soften a bit today because the Moon will be transiting through Pisces. This is an intuitive sign, so we should pay attention to our thoughts and dreams and the feelings we get about how we should respond to situations that arise. Health is one of the things we’re going to be concentrating on with today’s angle between Mars and Chiron. This will give us the determination to promote healing. We’ll see the path to recovery more quickly and clearly than usual. We plan ways to make our dreams come true, and then we implement them.

The Word of the Day is RESPONSIVE. Insightful thoughts enter our minds and we can respond in ways that carry us out of a fog.

The Color of the Day is CITRINE. (It’s clear, golden yellow.) Indulge in daydreams! Wearing a bit of the color citrine will inspire our spirituality and happiness today.

Even though the Moon is still transiting through the wistful sign Pisces, the Sun/Mars aspect continues to create outbursts and demonstrations of strength. Discomfort over something that has happened is going to prompt us to do something to resolve it. This Sun/Mars angle has been pushing us to take action, whether we had wanted to or not. We’d rather ignore it or procrastinate, but we can’t. This aspect started several days ago, and usually lasts about a week. However, Mercury will be making an angle to Jupiter today, giving us direction and assurance that our insights will guide us down the correct path. We think about our obligations and may dwell on things we may have not gotten done or duties we haven’t fulfilled.

The Word of the Day is DISPEL. Let preconceived notions float away today, by thinking up something engaging to do.

The Color of the Day is ZUCCHINI. (It’s dark green.) Wear something in the color of the versatile zucchini today, to open our minds to embracing our dreams.

Because Mars rules the sign Aries, which the Moon is transiting, we will get an extra boost of physical energy today and tomorrow. The ongoing Sun/Mars square creates an atmosphere of discomfort that may make us feel like we need to wrestle our way out of distressing situations. But the effect of Mars may be softened because there is an angle between Mars and Chiron that is going to direct us to take note of what has hurt us and give us ideas about actions we should take to restore both physical and mental health. It will give us opportunities over the next couple of days to create our plans of action. Mercury’s angle to Jupiter continues today, showing us the best ways to get through thorny circumstances.

The Word of the Day is STRIVE. Engage to get things started today.

The Color of the Day is BRICK. (It’s dark red.) Add a bit of depth to the high-spirited energy of the day today, by wearing something with the color brick in it!

The Sun is nearing its final degree of the sign Scorpio for this year. Scorpio is the fixed water sign, which means that we don’t feel like making changes. People want to keep their emotions and desires private. But there’s an undercurrent of aggression that provokes some people into action today because the Moon will still be transiting the Mars-ruled sign Aries. We will want to have things to do that will make us feel like we’ve accomplished something worthwhile. We’ll feel like we are propelling ourselves into forward motion. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so it refreshes us and gives us a better foundation for taking our next steps, which will be tomorrow, when the Sun enters Sagittarius.

The Word of the Day is HEAT. Answers stimulate our day!

The Color of the Day is PURPLE SPINEL. (It’s a sparkling, muted purple.) We delve into the possibility of finding answers by taking an unusual path, wearing something in the color of the gemstone, purple spinel.

The Sun will be entering Sagittarius for its month’s stay today! Before it changes signs it will be conjunct the star Toliman coloring our attitudes for the day. Don’t be surprised if people express themselves in dramatic or fatalistic ways. Then we’ll be moving away from the deep, penetrating and secretive Scorpio influence for the year, and experiencing the buoyancy and optimism of the holiday sign, Sagittarius, which will rejuvenate our spirits. Our enthusiasm can be boundless while the Sun travels through it. We welcome challenges, activity, inspiration and general excess. This will be especially fun today, because there’s a Mercury/Mars aspect that will activate our minds with quick thoughts and inspirations about things we might want to consider doing.

The Word of the Day is DIFFERENTIATE. We’ll have to pause to make sure that we do and say the right things today.

The Color of the Day is WHITE PEPPER. (It’s a very light brown/white.) Keep our minds quick and sharp today, wearing something in the color of white pepper!

A beautiful aspect presides over our day! It is Sun trine Neptune, that happens a couple of times per year and gives us inspiration, adds to our imagination, and enhances our awareness of good music and art. This angle will also make us feel idealistic about our ambitions. We’ll want the things that make us progress into what we envision for our future selves. This will be especially true for today because both the Sun and Neptune are in the first degrees of their respective fire signs, which will rev up our energy levels and make us want to get things done that had been set aside. The Moon will be in the grounded sign Taurus today, so whatever takes place shouldn’t throw us off balance.

The Word of the Day is ASCERTAIN. By paying attention to clues we discover we can make adjustments that enhance our lives. The key is in determining which insights are the best ones to act upon.

Full Moons usually make people want to finish up projects that they have been working on during the past Moon cycle. If we’ve worked well on achieving our goals to our satisfaction, it will be a wonderful time to celebrate! After the bustle of the next few days is past, the Fire and Air elements of this Full Moon will, over the next couple of weeks, cause us to aspire to greater goals. What’s nice about this Full Moon is that yesterday’s angle from Neptune, the planet that strives to create our ideals, is in aspect to it. People will want to create their best possible presentations.

The Word of the Day is COLLECT. Interesting information arrives to be acted upon.

Mars is changing signs and entering Virgo today. This transit will give us energy to organize and analyze what is best for our lives vs. what is not. It will empower us to do our best work. We’ll feel most rewarded when we give of ourselves in service to others. Mars will remain in Virgo until next February. Over the next couple of days, Mars will be in aspect to the star Regulus, which will give us ambition and courage to pursue our goals. With all of this energy we’ll find that fine-tuning the details will be easy to do. Also, with today’s Sun/Pluto angle, we’ll have opportunities to fulfill ourselves by taking charge of situations and making them fit our current goals. We may expect the unexpected!

The day after Mars, the planet that directs our energy, entered the fastidious sign Virgo, we have our enormous planet Jupiter as the guiding force of the day today. Its angle to the asteroid Chiron works together with Mars in its new sign, directing us to figure out ways of resolving issues by getting around weak spots and developing other strengths. The Moon has moved into the compassionate sign Cancer, which will spur us into looking at what we need to do about the things that have happened. We will begin to make ourselves move forward in a more growth-oriented direction. With a Mercury/Neptune angle in effect, our thoughts will be interspersed with daydreams about adventurous ways to fulfill our spirits.

The Word of the Day is PREPARE. We should take time to make sure plans are in place before taking action.

This is going to be a lovely day for relaxation and self indulgence. Venus and Jupiter make an angle to each other today that washes the atmosphere with ease. Situations that we have to handle today roll away. While we’re in a leisurely mode, Venus will also be in opposition to the asteroid, Chiron today, which may cause some disappointment to occur if try to make efforts to heal relationships. It is difficult to relate emotionally to people who have something else on their minds. Nonetheless, while the Moon remains in the sign Cancer throughout the day, people become more sensitive than usual and have increased abilities of understanding what the next step should be to promote emotional well-being.

The Word of the Day is QUALITY. Go after things that offer greater value today.

Because many of our engrained habits and beliefs have become obliterated over the past couple of years, we realize that we can’t move forward using the same roads. The Uranus/Neptune/Pluto interaction has given us freedom from certain regulations. Whether this is good or unfortunate depends on our own beliefs. Our ravaged political systems will need to recover, but it is going to take time to convince others of the best way, and then to blaze new trails. It’s interesting that while our government has spiraled down, use of AI has simultaneously come into play. Some people have embraced its use, while others see it as a malevolent scourge. Mars is affiliated with the star Regulus today, which will give us the ambition and courage to pursue our goals.

The Word of the Day is ILLUMINATE. Dream thoughts of grandeur and then take appropriate action to direct the day.

Venus and Jupiter are both making angles to the asteroid, Chiron and to each other today. People are concentrating on healing from things that have hurt them either physically or emotionally. Something will probably happen that will break the ice and lead us to realize that whatever it is, is not going to get solved immediately, especially while people continue to hang on to their grievances. But we can start taking steps. The Moon is transiting Leo today. The forces of this sign give us strength, stamina, and ability to control situations that we would otherwise not consider getting involved with. We’ll be able to take bold action and show things of ourselves that we might otherwise not. We’ll be proud of what we can do.

The Word of the Day is FASTEN. Attach ourselves to projects that enhance our lives today while the Moon is in a sign that makes us show what we have to give.

A steadying effect for today is that the Sun will be at an angle to Saturn, which will stabilize our plans and give us a better ability to organize our time. The Moon will be void-of-course for four hours before entering the sign Virgo, which will provide us with dexterity and clarity of thought. We will find that people will be more enthusiastic and thorough with their work over the next couple of days. We will be urged to accomplish more. Mercury will also be making an angle to Pluto today that will give us an answer about which changes we need to make to move ahead. People will be more easily swayed today, adapting to situations as they arise.
