The Planets Today
The Sun represents ego and will in astrology as it is the most visible and important star. With the Sun in Aquarius now is the time to think outside of the box and improve the normal routine. You may find yourself thinking about humanity in a collective group. Utilize this time to help others in need in ways you can contribute. As winter is in full swing, it is a collective mindset to gather and share with those who we can help. Even if it is a sharing of ideas or opinions, the gathering brings people into the fold.
The Moon represents hidden or emotional needs, it reflects your instincts. While the Moon is in Leo, a playful or almost childlike energy is in the air. You may be feeling more open or willing to take small risks during this time. You may find yourself with a desire to be cherished or respected. Showing others these traits will help them return in kind. If you find yourself feeling unloved, take stock of the love you feel with friends and family. Remind yourself this energy will pass and reaffirm your needs. The Moon will transfer into Virgo later today, try not to make any concrete plans or promises until tomorrow.
