Today is something of a continuation of yesterday, as we are still bounded by past occurances, the Moon being trine Saturn retrograde keeps us within the arena in which we have been operating, which we can cope with, thanks to the Moon also being trine the Sun. unfortunately, it’s difficult to generate much joy about our circumstances today, as the Moon squaring Venus in the evening makes us question whether it is all, in fact, worth the effort. Just carry on. It’s best to use your magicks today to increase calm, to carve out a sanctuary.
