Astrology of the Day – Moon into Capricorn – Saturday 10th March 2018

Moon trine Uranus - Electric emotions

The Moon finishes its transit through Sagittarius but before it does there are still several aspects for it to make. For two thirds of this day we will be in a generally optimistic mood, eager to progress, make new friends and we will get irritated if we are hemmed in or prevented from having the space we require. We will be happiest and emotionally content if we can get out and about to do our own thing.

Early on today the Moon makes a conjunction with Mars still also in Sagittarius, and our emotions will be very on edge and impatient. This connection will will find us wanting to do something positive, the need to achieve within us will be most important. Anything that slows us down or gets in our way this morning will gain our displeasure, or worse still the wrath of our tongue. We will not wish to compromise our our principles, and with Mars starting to make an exciting trine to Uranus, we may act rather erratically and hastily, on the look out for an opportunity to take a chance, and to do something new or novel.

The Moon follows on to make a trine to Uranus a little while later and the need within us to experiment and follow our own path only increases. We could be very impulsive, especially because of the connection to Mars, and also potentially accident prone, although our reactions will be rapid, and the speed of them may save your skin at the last minute. Be careful of electric shocks and breakages this morning. These connections could bring us into contact with unusual or talented people today who interest us.

The next aspect sees the Moon in a square to Chiron, the wounded healer and our impulsive nature may not be fine for everyone within our sphere of influence, as there is the potential in the middle of the day for some upset. If we suddenly lose our cool, our temper or act selfishly because of the rather volatile energy, we may also hurt someone unintentionally, so try to be careful not to be too egotistical or self-indulgent.

The Moon ends its passage through Sagittarius and moves into Capricorn, and we will feel a little less confident and a touch more reserved, and we may pull back from what we are doing. This position allows us to be more controlled, more calculating and definitely better organised. As the Moon moves into the first few degrees of the sign, it will make a square to Mercury. This connection later in the day makes us more critical, opinionated and sharp minded, and there will be an emotional need to speak up or communicate. If we disagree about something we will let others know about it. There is a nostalgic side to this link though, and we may be fascinated by matters of the past, family connections and news or letting people know what we have been getting up to recently. We may end the day in deep discussion with those we find intellectually stimulating for us...
