That day, in short

  1. Morning11:48

    The Moon in a tense aspect with the Sun or an inner planet: easy to fall out over a small thing. Do not argue.

  2. Afternoon16:08

    The Moon goes void of course: until it changes sign, sign nothing and schedule nothing.

  3. Evening21:19

    The Moon enters a new sign: the head clears, you can go back to the thing you put off.

Worth doing

  • Ask for the thing you have kept quiet about.

    Moon in Aquarius: you look at your own life as if it were someone else's, closeness tires you quickly.

  • Buy the boring thing you actually need.

    The Moon is waxing: what you start now is easier to finish.

  • Go to the place you never get around to.

Better left

  • Pushing on through exhaustion.

    The Moon in a tense aspect with Mars: for a couple of hours nobody has any patience.

  • Having it out with anyone.

  • Filling the free hour with errands.

Lunar day

9A bat

A suspicious day: a trifle reads as a sign, a slight as a verdict.

Favourable: Quiet. An answer left for later.

Avoid: Trusting the first impression.

Approximate: counted from midnight in your time zone.

Universal day

2A day for two

The date moves at the speed of a pair: alone it goes slower today than it would with someone.

Advice: Ask the other person before you decide.

One number for everyone: it describes the date, not you.

Void of course

from to

Last aspect before it: Moon sextile Chiron

Between its last exact aspect and the change of sign the Moon settles nothing. A pause, not a bad hour.

The month, day by day

  5. Saturn

    Retrograde

  • Mercury

    Next period —

    Three weeks of Mercury moving backwards: messages go astray, meetings get muddled, agreements need confirming again.

    Reread the message. Ask again what time the meeting is.

  • Venus

    Next period —

    Six weeks of Venus moving backwards: people you had parted from come back, and a big purchase stops pleasing you within days.

    Finish the old conversation. Put the purchase off.

  • Mars

    Next period —

    Two months of Mars moving backwards: work stalls, and pushing harder produces irritation instead of results.

    Finish what is started. Open nothing new for now.

  • Jupiter

    Next period —

    Four months of Jupiter moving backwards: the growth you counted on is postponed, and what you took on costs more than it looked.

    Add up what the thing you already started costs.

  • Saturn

    Current period —

    Four and a half months of Saturn moving backwards: what you promised long ago and never did comes back, and your deadlines move.

    Look again at one old obligation. Drop it if it is spent.
