The Moon is in Gemini today.

The Moon, in Gemini, clashes with Mercury (which is currently retrograde!), at 4:49 AM, and with Neptune at 8:35 PM. Clarity won't come easily, so put off important decision-making. The Moon makes an easy connection with Mars at 3:29 PM, and with Jupiter at 6:35 PM, putting us in an energized and confident mood. Obstacles will arrive when the Moon opposes Saturn at 9:40 PM. Expect a major hangover (physical or emotional) tomorrow morning if you party too hard with tonight's Venus/Jupiter connection at 2:40 AM.
