Sun in Capricorn, Mercury starts in Capricorn, then moves into Aquarius 4:35 P.M., Venus retrograde in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. It’s a nervous, antsy Full Moon for us. There’s always a conflict between desire and accomplishment this time of month, and these lunar aspects make one feel that not much has been accomplished. Of course, it doesn’t help that the Moon is square Mars and in opposition to Venus, which tends to sap one’s gumption. One bright spot is the Moon being conjunct Jupiter, so at least one’s woes will get a sympathetic hearing. Magically, a day for unwinding things, hitting the re-start button.
