Trying to see things in the best possible light and using clever, intense yet charming reasoning to make a case are two themes that will likely pull focus over the next couple of days, as mental Mercury and loving Venus join forces in glib Gemini (exact on Friday). Idealism tends to run high when Mercury and Venus make contact. What are those folks wearing rose-colored glasses reluctant to face, I wonder…

In contrast to yesterday, there are no potentially explosive aspects to the peace-seeking Libra Moon today, which should quell most urges to bicker and snipe. A serious focus on ambition and emotional issues rolls in as the evening progresses, courtesy of an exact hook-up between Moon and stern Saturn at 9:31PM ET. Let it percolate, as the Moon will then be void until 8:31AM ET on Friday.
