With the Moon sextile Mercury and the Sun, while trine Saturn, this is a fairly dynamic day for getting things off the ground. The Sun being in opposition to Jupiter might make your million dollar ideas feel like billion dollar ones, at least in your own mind, but it’s still nice to have the wind at your back, even if it’s self-generated. Magically, today is the first day this year to really initiate new magical workings, as the New Year has finally gained some traction.
