It's a busy day! Action planet Mars enters empathetic Pisces at 4:23 AM—how will you deal with anger now that the planet of war is in one of the most sensitive signs in the zodiac? In addition, Mercury begins its retrograde at 5:55 AM. You know the drill: Don't sign any contracts, don't make commitments or fancy purchases, and expect delays. The Moon in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces at 6:24 AM, bringing some confusion, but it connects with Mercury in Capricorn at 4:59 PM and Pluto in Capricorn at 7:41 PM, helping you get shit under control—at least until 2:19 AM, when some restructuring occurs as the Moon clashes with Saturn in Sagittarius. All times EST.
