A new work week begins, and the astrological hinderances of the weekend have gone away.this is a day best spent gathering intelligence and assessing one’s stance, aided by the insights triggered by the Moon being conjunct Neptune retrograde. Expect restless, vivtd dreams in the evening, thanks to the Moon being trine Mars. If you can rest during the day, and then pull an all-nighter to utilize the conclusions that over-active mind came up with, all the better. As one’s intentions meet less resistance today, you might find that your magicks will be more effective today than recently; but stick to small things, a little push here, a bit of assistance there.
