Today primes us to make a big splash (or at least provokes us into wanting to make a big one). The Aquarius Moon is first sextile Uranus and then Mars, which should enable one to get some competent action plans down on paper. The difficulty arises with the Moon being in opposition to Jupiter retrograde, which can quickly turn one’s plans into castles in the air. It also can lead to promising more than one can deliver, thus undercutting one’s position. As for one’s magicks, it’s a good day to clear the underbrush, removing obstacles.
