The moon in the mutable earth sign of detail oriented Virgo forms a sextile aspect today to Mercury conjunct Venus in the fixed water sign of investigative Scorpio. The moon also forms a mild semi-sextile to Mars in the fixed fire sign of creative Leo. You should be able to look at many things at once today with a laser-like accuracy that can cut away anything less than what is essential. If you have to sort though feeling, closets, or options and eliminate or distill anything down to what matters most, today is an excellent day to do so. If you have a point or plan to present or argue effectively, do it now. The sun moves from the air sign of Libra to the water sign of Scorpio today and forms a quincunx aspect to Uranus in Aries. The Scorpio sun also forms a supportive trine to Neptune in Aquarius. We always notice a new energy arrive when the sun changes signs, but I think it will be more noticeable today because of this fiery Uranian overtone and the inspiring influence of Neptune. For many of us, I think today will bring a defining moment of change. It could be a decision to choose something else, begin something new, leave something behind, release a feeling or a habit, or entertain a thought or way of being that you may have considered impossible or improbable up until this point.
