The Moon, in Aries, makes an easy connection with warrior planet Mars at 3:39 AM before clashing with the planet of control, Pluto, at 8:27 AM. The Moon opposes Jupiter at 10:48 AM, bringing drama, before making a harmonious connection with the Sun (at 1:27 PM) and Saturn (at 3:26 PM), creating a sense of support. Mercury retrograde begins in Virgo at 9:01 PM! Read your horoscope below to see what this means for you.
