Today is made for the hopeless romantic, with an emphasis on the hopeless part. While this is temporary (as most things are), it can lead to some angst; but then, what is a romantic without angst? Deep wells of emotion are opened up by Venus being sextile Neptune in the afternoon, powered by the Moon being sextile the Sun. as we move towards evening, however, desire is thwarted by the Moon being in opposition to Saturn retrograde while squaring Neptune around Midnight. It’s best to find some distraction to keep your mind from dwelling on what is not occurring in one’s life right now. The magickal tides of the day make it tempting to lash out at those who you perceive as a hinderance.
