The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse

Tonight, the full moon will be a busy, busy bee. If you haven't already heard, the lunar eclipse is tonight, and during that time the moon will be in Sagittarius. But what does that mean?

The moon is the planetary body associated with Cancer; it embodies deeper emotions, cycles, femininity, etc., but in Sagittarius, the sign of action, adventure, honesty, and freedom, we're going to be forced to examine and understand our desires, as well as how we may not be able to achieve them right now with everything going on. Tonight will be the time, with the Sun still in Gemini, to be open and honest about our emotions with our family, loved ones, or even close friends. Just remember to keep your bias in check, seeing as we're desiring and longing to go on an adventure, but now is not the time to get into these deep conversations.

Tonight, the moon (in Sag.) is in opposition to Venus, which is still in Gemini. When two planetary bodies are in opposition, there's typically a negative influence on each other. One scenario is that the love, affection, and beauty you want to bring into your life, and express to others, is being held back by your emotions—be them of jealousy, doubt, low self-esteem, or anything else. Another is the deeper, internal, and raw emotions you're feeling aren't something easy to convey to your loved ones. This occurrence warns us of muddy waters when dealing with matters of the heart.

The Sagittarius moon is also square Mars this afternoon, additionally affecting our ability to get offended, passionate, and quick to anger—especially with Mars, now, in the emotional Pisces. Feelings are likely to overwhelm you today, as the moon is square Neptune, another planet in Pisces. Known for its pull and allure, Neptune, while in the zodiac that it rules, being square with the moon later tonight, can allude to even more mystery, or perhaps a difficulty reaching the creativity of which you have been dreaming.

The moon will continue to be in Sagittarius until the sixth of this month when we will see it transition into Capricorn.

Other Planetary Bodies

Mercury in Cancer is Sextile to Uranus in Taurus! Bringing about relief, help, and growth, the 60 (degree) Sextile gifts us with harmony to the involved planets.

In English, please?

The creative innovations, inspiring trains of thought, and discovery that typically come with Uranus—the ruler of the sign Aquarius—are not only going to be easier to accomplish through the foundation-building, hard-headed, home-loving Taurus, but also eased and aided by emotional communication, dictated by Mercury in Cancer.

As Mercury is the messenger of logical and rational thinking, being able to communicate your feelings thoroughly and rationally is crucial right now. This will help improve the fun and safe environment initiated by establishing a comfortable space to talk and allow a flow of ideas and a variety of inputs without judgment. On the other hand, this sort of safe space could in turn be what helps bring about these wonderful and innovative conversations.

Daily Tarot - What You Should Expect Based on Your Sun Sign

Aries

The World reversed indicates that today may not be the day that you get what you want, and it's just going to be "one of those days". Likely, you will not get the closure you're looking for, and if you had something in mind to be completed today, don't rely on that. This card appears when we're at a point in our lives everything is upside down, but that's okay.

Taurus

Today, unlike Aries, will bring what you're looking for: abundance, beauty, and similar aspects that are totally in your ballpark. The Empress can also tell us a sign of fertility, femininity, and a connection to nature. Today's a good day to get outside, have some fun, but definitely wear a condom today. (You should be wearing one anyway to be safe, but notably today 😉).

Gemini

The Queen of Pentacles reversed depicts someone that may have an imbalance between work and family or other commitments. This card upright usually depicts the good qualities of a textbook Capricorn, yet reversed it can show us some traits of a textbook Capricorn on a bad day. For instance, being too invested in work, taking life too seriously, or simply finding endeavors are not as fruitful as you had hoped. However, this can show you creating financial independence for yourself, too, as well as working on your personal goals, rather than providing for everyone around you.

Cancer

Similar to Gemini, you'll likely be seeing an imbalance and difficulty keeping up with everything going on thanks to the Two of Pentacles reversed. What this can mean is that you should expect a juggling act, and you should expect it not to work. This will be a day of financial disarray, but a lack of organization may also make everything that much more difficult.

Leo

While Gemini may have experienced the reversed Queen of Swords' cold-hearted or biased attitude on the 3rd of this month, now it's your turn, Leo. Expect yourself or someone else in your life to be either so overrun by emotion that they can no longer make an informed, calculated, and logical decision, or so rational and in-thought that they come off as bitchy and heartless.

Virgo

Life's always a mess, but today, it's a disaster. The cards seem to imply that today you're in for a treat, and you're not going to like it. Expect a sudden change or upheaval, or even a revelation of thought from Uranus. The Tower is a card that basically describes what the U.S.A. is like right now. Crazy, longing for change or having change forced upon you whether you want it or not.

Libra

Today is when you should be collaborating. You and your peers are still learning as you embark on this project. Teamwork will help you achieve what you want three times as easy when you can communicate and delegate properly. Being the ultimate Judge of the Zodiac, it's your time to shine and keep the balance and peace among your associates.

Scorpio

In store for you is the Death card, reversed. But, I suppose you're used to the doom and gloom by now, aren't you, Scorpio? Only messing with you! This card typically indicates that you are resisting the change that is needed to open new doors. Upright, this card tells us of time when we must rid of the bad aspects of our life in exchange for moving ahead, so when it is in the reversed position, it's clear that you're not letting this happen. Take a look at what's in your life that doesn't support you on your journey to growth and development, getting rid of what no longer serves you. You'll find you will have more opportunities staring you in the face.

Sagittarius

The Three of Cups depicts a trio of celebrating comrades, toasting their glasses in the air to celebrate. This is your time to be you, Sagittarius! Your friends are drawn to your honest and energetic disposition. You should be expecting a celebration or even a small get together of you and the people closest to you, a sense of creativity, and community. Don't be shy!

Capricorn

The King of Cups reversed normally appears when you or someone in your life is being manipulative, sulky, moody, and volatile. Be careful that you're not letting the emotional gravity of the moon's shenanigans get the better of you or someone close to you tonight. Now is time to bring logic and rationality into your life rather than getting swept away by the moon's watery, emotional currents.

Aquarius

Today's going to be an "Oof" day for you. Something is going to happen it may leave behind a negative impact on how people look at you. The reversed Six of Wands shows us when someone lets their ego or lack of self-esteem get the better of them, leading to a sort of "fall from grace". Be careful on that tightrope you're walking, Aquarius, for its likely people already look up to you for your innovative and unique ways of thinking. There's no need to go above and beyond right now.

Pisces

This is your time to think BIG, but act little. The potential is there, and plans are probably being drawn up now without you taking action yet. Your plans are underway, even if you are still in the safety of somewhere comfortable to you. The Three of Wands tells us about opportunities being available for many prospects including growth, and even more options to choose from in the future.

Let's Wrap it Up

Everything is a mess right now, but know that the planets are always moving, and it will not always be like this. People are heated and in need of a deep conversation about the changing world around them, but now is not the time. When heavy emotions cloud our ability to communicate openly, we will have to rely on honesty and trust in the people with who we surround ourselves. Change is upon us, and everyone is going to experience it differently.

Thank you for reading, and as always, keep passing on the good vibes.
