Just after midnight, the Gemini moon aligns with Jupiter, fostering optimism. We may still be out and about, partying with friends. However, many of us will be asleep at this hour, our heads filled with pleasant dreams. Jupiter amplifies everything it touches, and emotions can become inflated as the great benefic meets up with the moon. We have big feelings, hopes, and an overpowering sense that things will turn out for the best. For the most part, this expectation bears out because the universe wants to reward our enthusiasm. However, beware of counting your chickens before they hatch. Optimism is one thing. Wishful thinking is another.
Shortly following this, Mercury in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, prompting us to disappear down potentially fruitless rabbit holes. We’re on the hunt for answers now, and answers evade our grasp. The farther we stray into unfamiliar territory, the more obsessed we become with certain ideas. We can’t help ourselves: we want to know the truth! While this may be a good day to do a deep dive on a particular subject (especially if this subject is somewhat taboo), don’t expect to reach tidy conclusions during your investigation. Steer clear of fanaticism, and be prepared to have your expectations turned on their head.
