A sunny outlook can easily turn to irrational exuberance today, as the Solstice is accompanied by the Moon being square Jupiter, which can lead one to drain the bank accounts in pursuit of one’s pleasures. Additionally, the Moon being sextile retrograde Mercury can make one susseptible to the blandishments of con men and sales persons (not to mention croupiers).
