“If you can show people how to build castles, make sure you do not neglect building and nurturing your own.” – Suzy Kassem
Good afternoon!
Waxing Luna spends most of the day in home and family-oriented Cancer, sextiling electrifying Uranus in Taurus midafternoon (2:55 pm), when we possibly may be tempted to perk up our living space in unique/offbeat ways. This aspect may also help deliver sudden insights about what best nurtures or feeds us emotionally as well as possibly showering us with some novel ideas about how to add to our material security.
Later, Luna trines structuring Saturn in Pisces (4:52 pm). This potentially could be a stabilizing influence in which we may be more inclined to approach our affairs or goals in a more organized/responsible/mature manner. May also be favorable for setting up/erecting healthy emotional boundaries with others.
The Cancer Moon then enters confident Leo the Lion this evening (7:09 pm) and almost immediately throws a harmonious trine to visionary Neptune in Aries (7:23 pm). This may find us wanting to take action on our spiritual ideals or what we may perceive to be our soul’s special purpose.
This is also the first time that the Leo Moon has aspected Neptune in Aries in nearly 160 years, so they will also, undoubtedly, have a lot to catch up on!
Additionally, this Moon-Neptune influence favors artistic or creative expression – and with Luna now deposited in theatrical Leo – there’s potentially more of a flair for the dramatic. Of course, too, we have the Leo Full Moon tomorrow, so the energies are nearing a crescendo point.
*All times EST
On This Day in History: The first daytime network TV soap opera – These Are My Children – debuts on January 31, 1949, and is broadcast live on Chicago’s NBC station. It’s the first in what will become an institution of daytime drama serials, many of which will be sponsored by soap manufacturers!
Astrologically, that day, dreamy, escapist Neptune in relationship-minded Libra was exactly trine to intellectual Mercury in trendsetting Aquarius, the sign that rules broadcasting. Too, Mercury-Neptune is typically perceived as an aspect that whets our appetite for immersion into such things as fairy tales or storytelling.
Also, love Goddess Venus and Jupiter, the planet of abundance, were conjunct in corporate Capricorn. Venus-Jupiter conjunctions are normally viewed as positive for financial prosperity, romance, and creative/artistic expression.

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.
