Today's guidance
Friday is a Venus day, and the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra during this day — both signs connected in different ways to Venus. While the Moon is still in Virgo, a grounded, discerning quality remains; once the Moon is in Libra, the tone shifts toward balance, relationship, and aesthetic awareness, which sits naturally with Venus's themes. At just 2% illuminated, the Moon is nearly dark, very close to the New Moon — this is a threshold moment. The Sun is also in Libra, and once the Moon reaches Libra it shares that sign with the Sun. The Moon in Libra opposes Saturn and Neptune, both in Aries, and trines Uranus and Pluto — a mix that favours thoughtful, deliberate choices over impulsive ones.
Working With Today's Energy
This favours quiet preparation and honest reflection on relationships and creative work. Venus is retrograde in Scorpio, which traditionally favours revisiting rather than initiating matters of the heart or finances. The opposition to Saturn is a grounding influence: clarity and honesty in a relationship conversation will serve better than grand gestures. Wait for the New Moon to commit to anything new.
Body & Practice
The Heart chakra pairs with Venus days in Lunarhythm. A gentle chest-opening stretch — such as a supported backbend or simply rolling the shoulders back and breathing into the front of the chest — brings awareness to this area. Take a few slow breaths with your hand resting lightly on your sternum.
