Astrology

By Mark Lerner for Astrology.com - If you are looking for a very calm day following yesterday's storminess, then you probably have to wait awhile longer. Yes, rock-solid and achievement-oriented Capricorn Moon continues today and you receive an enormous boost as the lunar orb unites with providential and usually compassionate Jupiter (12:51AM PDT). However, dulling the luster of that upbeat alignment is the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 15 degrees of Libra and Capricorn at 2:05AM PDT. Sometimes a crisis or two pop up without warning around the time of a quarter moon cycle when the two lights are at odds with each other. Therefore, you need to have your wits about you and be ready for anything early in the day. Another reason to stay on alert is that Venus in Scorpio squares Chiron in Aquarius (3:02AM PDT). There's no point in trying to sugarcoat this probably stressful cosmic link-up by making it sound loving and comforting. Instead, it is more likely to equate with rising tensions among many, normally happy lovebirds who assume they will never quarrel or share an unkind word. Of course, you can still attempt to tweak this aspect, too, and steer it more in the direction of making soul mate ties better. In the highest sense, your best bet is to refrain from uttering impulsive remarks to a significant other that may land you in scalding emotional waters. The universe attempts to give you a boost around the time of a Moon-Venus 60-degree tie (5:52AM PDT) and when the Moon makes a similar contact with revelatory Uranus (12:38PM PDT). However, this latter lunar association begins an 18+ hour void cycle that won't end until the Moon enters service-oriented Aquarius on Wednesday morning at 9:04AM PDT. Adding to tonight's emotional intensity is a Venus-Pluto parallel (10:10PM PDT). Keep a low profile during the 18+ hour void uncertainty zone and focus attention on completing odds and ends with finesse.
