People are usually all talk on New Year's Eve: Everyone goes on about what they're going to do and change; last night, however, they actually really meant it. The Moon trined communicator Mercury at 12:33 AM, and the Moon entered emotionally aware Libra at 1:41 AM. This morning, the Moon sextiles Venus at 7:05 AM, bringing more good vibes around affection— a great start to a new year! Mercury enters Aquarius at 9:21 PM, so we'll be thinking and communicating clearly and from a detached, objective perspective. All times EST.
