Independence takes on electric meaning as Venus conjuncts Uranus at 5:45 am, then immediately enters Gemini at 8:31 am—love itself declaring freedom from all previous definitions.
The Moon enters Scorpio's depths at 2:33 am, then squares Pluto at 8:45 am, as if the celebration comes with a reminder that true independence requires facing your own shadows. By afternoon, the Moon trines Jupiter at 2:06 pm, expanding whatever insights the morning's intensity revealed. But the day's most significant shift happens at 2:33 pm when Neptune stations retrograde in Aries, beginning a months-long journey that will dissolve illusions about who you think you're becoming. Evening brings Mercury square at 9:28 pm and Mars sextile at 11:20 pm; the mind argues while the heart finds its courage.
