The Moon is in dreamy Pisces all day! It's a pretty weird morning: We'll all feel uptight (if we're awake) at 5:19 AM, when the Moon clashes with serious Saturn in Sagittarius—but we'll also be pretty checked out from reality, thanks to the Moon meetings hazy Neptune at 7:22 AM. The Moon mingles with power planet Pluto in Capricorn at 2:33 PM, creating some excellent networking opportunities and opening the door for change. The Moon opposes sweet Venus at 6:24 PM, so be careful—people will be sensitive! All times EST.
