The Moon makes easy connections to the Sun at 3:13 AM and Uranus at 9:38 AM, inspiring us to move toward the future and take a few risks. The Moon enters psychic, emotional Water sign Cancer at 12:13 PM, encouraging us to tap into our emotional needs—some people will be moody, and others will crave comfort.

All times EST.
