- What personal planets, or points are located in your 5th house? Do you have any easy flowing, or hard aspects to this house from one or more of your personal planets, or points?

If you have harmonious contacts from your personal planets to your Sun then you will feel more supported at this time. You may want to lean into the energy symbolized by these harmonious aspects to your natal Sun for support.
- If there are stressful contacts to your natal Sun you’ll want to take note of this. Challenging aspects give you an opportunity for growth.

Let yourself be guided to the best course of action.
- The moon moves quickly through each sign and house, so whatever happens though it may leave a lasting impact upon your psyche the emotions will be transient. Best to let your emotions settle before taking action that may have long standing results.

Mercury (Leo) Square Uranus (Taurus) - Stay open to your plans changing.

Excitement, change, drama and upsets can occur. Mercury’s Square to Uranus can bring unusual, bizarre and strange coincidences.
Jupiter Stations Retrograde in Aries - Jupiter’s Retrograde in the cardinal sign of Aries may bring the return of an opportunity for social expansion. When Jupiter dips back into Pisces for one final time until 2034 we might see the revisal of social programs and services. Social justice and equality are concerns of Jupiter.

Moon (Leo) Opposes Saturn (Aquarius) - The Leo New Moon with the addition of Saturn in the mix forms a T-Square with Uranus, Mars and the North Node.

Resistance is futile with these kind of cosmic forces operating to bring change. There’s no one to blame to get you out of making necessary changes. It’s time for humanity to grow up and act as responsible stewards of the earth. Saturn represents government, corporations and the established way of doing things not wanting to change.
