Caught in Spirals
On MONDAY, the Aquarius Moon will be entangled in a conflict with an antagonistic Mars and an erratic Uranus. Try to avoid charged situations and postpone any potentially fraught meetings until later in the day, as things could quickly spiral out of control. At 1:31p, the Moon shorts out and goes Void. Although it will be brief, the previous caution still applies, as well as the usual caveats about not making important decisions or purchases during this time. (Read all about the dos and don’ts of the Void Moon here.) The mood brightens considerably, at 2:09p, once the Moon drifts into Pisces and aligns with an upbeat Jupiter, which could help mitigate any contentiousness from earlier. The better news is that under this prolific pairing your imagination and resourcefulness will spiral, allowing you to eke out a very productive day, after all.

Moved by Spirits
Your muse returns over the next two days, under the influence of the very spirited Pisces Moon.  On TUESDAY, this multitalented Moon will be stimulated and inspired by stellar links to brainy Mercury and talented Venus. Teamwork and communications of all kinds are favored. Just keep in mind that the Moon is waning in strength and focus your energies on a work in progress. Pick up that unfinished manuscript/opus/design or revisit a project that could benefit from a creative collaboration. A fresh look and a more offbeat approach just might help you bring it to completion.
WEDNESDAY’s Pisces Moon will be galvanized by an innovative Uranus. While this happy union of imagination and ingenuity is great for brainstorming and concocting unique solutions, it’s not good for left-brain work, like budgets or expense reports. You’ll want to zero in on “shovel ready” tasks, though, because starting anything new when the Moon is waning would be an uphill climb. At 5:34p, the Moon goes Void, so reconfirm any appointments you may have during this time. At 7:08p, the Moon dashes into Aries and a cosmic dust up with deceptive Neptune and gullible Jupiter. This bit of cosmic trickery could make you more susceptible to hype. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

All Fired Up
On THURSDAY, the ever-energetic Aries Moon will be further revved up by a high-powered Pluto. This invigorating team creates a powerhouse of vitality, pluck and drive. If there’s a downside to this dynamic, it’s only that it could make you eager to start something new, which is always a fruitless effort when the Moon is waning in strength. If, however, you can steer that unbounded vigor to fire up an old project or reignite a stalled venture, you’ll make great progress.
On FRIDAY morning, a wiseass Mercury will be needling the hotheaded Aries Moon in an attempt to provoke its more aggressive nature. Don’t take the bait. Steer clear of toxic personalities with axes to grind and anyone trying to turn a minor quibble into a major conflagration. The good news is this aspect will be in the rear-view mirror by afternoon, when this feisty Moon buddies up with the fiery Sun looking for a good time not a hard one. At 9:49p, the Moon will flame out and go Void, only to return a few minutes later in the mellower sign of Taurus to celebrate the Summer Solstice!

At 10:42p Friday, the Sun enters Cancer marking the official start of summer! At this time, the Sun is at its peak of power and we celebrate the victory of light over darkness. This is one of those rare times when you get to glimpse your destiny and see certain aspects of your life very clearly—whether you want to or not. Are you ready for the big reveal? It’s also a day of enchantment, when faeries abound and dreams really do come true. So be sure to make a special wish during this magical time. FYI Something begun around the Winter Solstice (12.21.24) may be about to come to fruition now. Stay attuned!

WEEKEND FORECAST
The leisure-loving Taurus Moon presides over the weekend. On SATURDAY, this earthy Moon will be slow dancing toward Venus the whole day. I’m issuing a bling alert for the daytime as this arrangement is sure to bring out the material girl within. I’m also issuing a passion alert for evening, as Venus will be exciting Taurus’s sensuality, making Saturday the best date night this week!
SUNDAY, has a split personality. On the one hand, the Taurus Moon will be stimulated by Mercury and Uranus encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone and do something fun and different. But there’s also serious friction between the Sun and Saturn nagging you to prioritize duties over pleasure. I’m counting on the Mercury/Uranus ingenuity to help me figure out how to split the difference and  have it both ways.
