Emotionally speaking, the day begins on a tough note as the Moon squares Saturn giving rise to the classic 'inferiority complex'. Feelings turn insecure and melancholy as emotional memories turn to the father figure who we could not seem to please or get the Love we deserved. Naturally, there will be some who do not feel this aspect at all (the lucky ones) but then there is everyone else who will feel some sort of emotional imprisonment, which can also cause us to have hard feelings with the mother. In this aspect, the Moon represents the mother and Saturn represents the father. There is restriction or limitation coming from Saturn and putting the squeeze on emotions. Happy feelings usually do not last long when this aspect is present. For instance, last night you may have been on top of the world, but this morning that is all changed. This aspect will last all day since it occurs at 10:59 AM EDT and has an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours before and after its exactness. That's a bummer. Somehow, someway, the demeanor will find a way to turn moody and depressed.

The BIG NEWS today is Mercury sextiles Pluto and gives us the 'mental power' and 'mental prowess' to get something accomplished. There will be no laying on the bathroom floor in the fetal position crying into a towel with this aspect. You may feel like doing that but this aspect will have you on your feet pushing forward and making your Life happen for you. This aspect wants to go further and deeper in its understanding and will not settle for a simple answer. It will push forward. If someone says, "I don't know" to you or gives you a half-ass answer, by golly you will find out yourself and then get back to that person with a real, solid and make-sense answer. When it comes to financial matters, this will ring even more True because Pluto rules money that comes through other people or secret sources of money. Where did the money go?
