The moon in the fixed fire sign of creative, ardent and dramatic Leo forms a quincunx aspect to powerful Pluto in success drive
Caprico
today, while Mercury in Sagittarius has just turned direct. While it may feel like the brakes are finally off and you can move ahead now, the nature of a quincunx energy pattern can be stressful since it is neither an entirely favorable or negative energy. It can be either/or. Your will or desire to do something or to have something could be strong but the manifestation of what you desire may require work and persistence. A Leo fire moon can be impulsive and wants things done as fast as possible - as in NOW - but Pluto in earthy Caprico
only offers endurance - not ease or rapid progress. Still, a mild semi-sextile betwee
Mercury in optimistic Sagittarius and Pluto in Caprico
tells you it is worth making an effort to act, take a stand, be bold, persistent and goal oriented now. Mercury in Sagittarius also squares Neptune in Aquarius conjunct Chiron in Pisces, so don't feel disappointed if you don't meet your goals immediately or it appears that things are not as you wish them to be by the end of your day. Things may not be as they appear, you may not be able to see the whole picture or you could underestimate the true effect of your work now. Later this evening, when the Leo moon forms a semi-sextile to Mars in Virgo, you should feel satisfied knowing you have done your best, whether you have met your objective or not.
