The cerebral Libra Moon goes void-of-course at 8:12AM ET, on a charged connection with mental Mercury in feisty Aries. Could be a day marked by persuasive arguments, even if the only person you’re talking to is yourself. A extra dose of optimism is also suggested by a lovely connection to the Moon from expansive Jupiter at 7:13AM. This void day may feel less “meh” than other voids, given two other patterns noted below…but twists in your efforts to move forward in a straight line may still crop up. Go with the flow.

Creativity and empowerment — particularly the kind that gives ideas material form – is one potential of today’s easy connection between Venus (women, arts, money, social expression) in Taurus (things and values that provide material comfort and security) and potent Pluto. Deeper connections in relationship — those that are emotionally juicy and transforming — are also suggested. Maybe even a new vision — or a healing, too — which is supported by a communicative connection between the earthy Taurus Sun and empathic Neptune in sensitive Pisces.

Given this planetary palette, I was delighted to see this front page story about an 11-year-old girl who’s making waves with a thoroughly engaging science show on YouTube. It’s fun; it’s creative; it’s empowering — and what would you expect from something called Sylvia’s Super-Awesome Mini-Maker Show? May it brighten your day and inspire you to brainstorm and give your ideas form…which is what the current concentration of planets in Taurus (Sun, Venus & Mars) is all about. And when the Moon waxes Full in Scorpio tomorrow, we’ll see if those ideas have substance.
