The Moon and the Sun stand together around midday. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are up with them.New moon 11°57′ CancerA new moon is the start of a lunar cycle — the sky goes dark, the seed gets planted. Good for intention-setting and quiet beginnings. Whatever you start in this window will keep unfolding for two weeks toward the full moon.Mercury 27°29′ GeminiMercury governs the moving parts: words, ideas, short trips, transactions. How you think out loud, how you listen, what holds your attention.Venus 1°16′ CancerVenus rules love, taste, money, and pleasure. What you find beautiful, who you reach for, how you receive. Less about romance per se and more about what you let in.Mars 23°47′ VirgoMars is the engine — desire, anger, drive, sex. How you start things, what you defend, where you push back.Jupiter 25°41′ LeoJupiter is the principle of expansion — where you grow, where you stretch, where you say yes. Also where you overdo. The placement describes the room you have to become bigger than you have been.Saturn 26°44′ AriesSaturn is structure, discipline, time. Where you build slowly. Often felt as a hard teacher early in life and a wise one later. The placement describes the ladder you are quietly climbing.Uranus 7°52′ GeminiUranus is the lightning bolt — sudden change, rebellion, the urge to break whatever has become too small. Where it sits in your chart is where you refuse to follow the script.
