New Moon in Leo with Mercury's shifting currents
The day opens with a New Moon in Leo conjunct Jupiter, grounding intention and optimism at the start. Mercury moves into precise alignment with Uranus by evening, sharpening insight and bringing unexpected clarity to communication—a shift preceded by Mercury's opposition to Pluto early on, which may first expose hidden tensions or power dynamics in thought. Venus and Mercury trade harmonious aspects while multiple longer-arc alignments (Neptune-Pluto sextile, Uranus-Neptune sextile) create a permissive backdrop for both intellectual breakthroughs and emotional recalibration.
