Sun in Leo, Mercury in Leo, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. While the Moon always Squares the Sun on the First Quarter, allowing for friction between one’s aspirations and reality, we have the Moon also being trine Mars and sextile Venus during the course of the day, which can allow one to sort out what habits to discard, and what to nurture in your desires in a measured fashion. It’s a good day for magical housekeeping, cleansings, bindings.
