Today’s skies are stirring up a beautiful storm of emotional clarity, passion, and potential breakthroughs — but there’s a catch: only those who are willing to look within, take aligned action, and stay grounded will ride this wave with grace. The universe isn’t pushing us so much as it’s whispering, “You’re ready.”
Let’s begin with the highlight of the day: Venus retrograde in Pisces forming a harmonious sextile to Uranus in Taurus. Venus retrograde always asks us to go inward — to reflect on what we truly value, especially in love, art, beauty, money, and our sense of self-worth. In Pisces, she’s tender, mystical, and emotionally raw. Pair that with Uranus — the planet of liberation, disruption, and awakening — and what you get is an invitation to break free from illusions around love and pleasure.
This could manifest as sudden insights, surprise messages from old lovers, or a jolt of clarity about what (or who) no longer serves your heart. Collectively, there’s an awakening happening around what’s real, especially in spiritual or soul-based connections. The craving for authenticity in love — and in how we express ourselves creatively — is louder than ever.
On a personal level, this is a powerful moment to ask:
“What do I actually want?”
Not what your past self wanted, not what the world told you to want — but what your soul is quietly yearning for now. Watch for synchronicities, intuitive nudges, or seemingly random downloads that point you toward freedom, truth, and deeper alignment.
As if that wasn’t enough, we’re also supported by a deeply stabilizing trine between Mars in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces. Mars in Cancer is emotional, loyal, and protective. He wants to act, but he’s driven by feeling. When Mars harmonizes with Saturn, the great architect and teacher, we gain the strength and discipline to follow through. It’s not just about dreaming — it’s about building something sustainable.
This energy supports emotional maturity, taking responsibility for our healing, and defending what truly matters to us — not from a place of fear, but from a place of love. It's a beautiful day to commit to something meaningful: a creative project, a healing journey, or a sacred boundary that supports your inner peace.
Quietly influencing all of this is the Moon’s shift into Virgo, where she’ll remain unaspected for the rest of the day. While Virgo moons usually bring practicality, emotional discernment, and a desire to organize and refine, today’s unaspected moon may feel a bit disconnected — as if our emotional selves are running in the background, not fully linked to the rest of our experience. You may find yourself hyper-focused on tasks or obsessing over details in an effort to feel something, or to control what feels uncertain.
Give yourself permission to ground into the simple things today — a clean space, a nourishing meal, or writing out your thoughts can be incredibly helpful. Let the Virgo moon hold space for quiet reflection without needing to figure it all out.
And then… we come to the tarot.
The Page of Wands appears beside the 9 of Cups, and together they speak of inspiration and fulfillment. The Page is a curious, courageous energy — that first flicker of excitement when something new calls us. The 9 of Cups is a wish fulfilled, emotional satisfaction, and personal contentment. These cards suggest that something you’ve hoped for — something your soul has quietly desired — is beginning to take shape. You might feel a sense of momentum, a spark that says, yes… this is it.
But the second pair, The Knight of Wands and The Devil, brings in a cautionary layer. The Knight charges forward with passion and intensity — bold, adventurous, and hungry for the next thrill. Yet paired with The Devil, we’re reminded to check our impulses. This is a warning not to let desire become addiction, or passion become recklessness. The Devil reveals the shadows beneath the craving — the fear, the illusion, the ego’s need to control or consume.
So what does this all mean, woven together?
Today’s energies are rich with potential — for awakening, for healing, for inspired action. You might feel fired up to chase a new dream, to break away from an old pattern, or to finally claim what you truly want. And you’re supported in doing that. But the deeper message is this:
Your desires are sacred… when they come from the heart.
When they’re driven by fear, attachment, or the need to prove something, they become chains instead of wings.
So move with passion, yes. Say yes to the dream. Let your heart open. But stay grounded. Stay honest. Be aware of what’s driving you, and let the Virgo moon help you sort truth from temptation.
This is a beautiful day to trust the spark and the structure. To awaken to what you truly want — and begin building it, one aligned step at a time.
