Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. A run up to the Saturnalia, today has an interesting combination of events. The morning starts off with the Moon being Square Venus, which tends towards depressing one. However, in the evening, Jupiter retrograde is Trine Saturn in combination with the Moon being Sextile Neptune. This can lead to a certain loosening of inhibitions, allowing the child within to come out and play. Of course, that same child can also end up before a judge because their hijinks evolved into criminal offenses, so have a care. Magically, a day to burnish one’s reputation, to engage in glamor and attraction work.
