COSMIC WATCH:

The Moon shifts from adventurous Sagittarius into controlled, responsible Capricorn (4:16 am EDT) although we still may be a little “over the top” today, as we have energizer Mars in ostentatious Leo forming a square to excessive Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) in self-indulgent Taurus. Mars-Jupiter aspects tend to correlate with our going overboard. Or, wanting to do things on a lavish scale. Fascinatingly, Jupiter is also associated with royalty and when we had both Mars and Jupiter exactly conjunct in Aries, last spring, is when we had the elaborate Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Historically, Mars-Jupiter aspects are also linked with fanaticism or overzealous behavior, as we can become much more impassioned (Mars) about our beliefs or philosophy of life (Jupiter) with this influence.  Of course, with Mars ruling the aggressive urge, there is also the potential for our “martial impulses” to get out of hand, especially with the more frictional square alignment. Accordingly, it may be wise to keep ourselves on a fairly short leash today and to make a point to remember, and to display, our Libra manners.

Another complicating factor today is mental Mercury is also forming a 135-degree link to psychedelic Neptune which can blur or skew our thought processes.  The best advisory here may be to go with what is most logical for us to do and to avoid, altogether, the “wishful thinking” zone.
