Awake Goy 
The sun in Libra squares off with Pluto in Capricorn at 10:09 AM, reminding us that balance is less about control and more about awareness. We’re feeling open to change as the moon in Capricorn aligns with Uranus in Taurus at 12:21 PM.
The mood turns a bit nostalgic as the moon is witnessed by Neptune in Pisces at 6:17 PM. Tension rises when the moon joins Pluto and clashes with the sun at 10:33 PM and 11:29 PM, respectively. We’re invited to soften rigid beliefs and notice which virtues or vices we’ve become over-identified with. Control is often an illusion!
