Words like "love" and "forever" permeate the day. Not only is it Valentine's Day but there's a union between communicative Mercury and eternal Neptune. When these planets couple, there's an upswing in romantic notions.
Yet, it's important to be really clear in your interactions to assess whether the feelings people express are true, or ones they just wish were true. This type of confusion can be commonplace when Neptune and Pisces-the sign in which Mercury is traveling-figure prominently, like they do today.
In the evening, the Moon journeys into visionary Jupiter, and the mood takes on a more upbeat feeling.
The Sun is at 25 degrees Aquarius, the Moon is in Scorpio, Mercury is in Pisces, Venus is in Aries and Mars is in Virgo. With this combination of planetary energies try to: Cut down on bad habits. One good vice can be like an art form. Try not to: Go for the jugular just because you smell blood in the water.

- Moon Sextile Mars: Strong Life Force
- Moon Square Sun: Overcoming Challenges
- Moon Square Neptune: A Vulnerable Position
- Moon Square Mercury: Emotionally Based Thinking
