It would be great if you could simply rest on your laurels after last night's double-dose of Aries excitement - the New Moon and Venus entering this first fire sign of the zodiac. However, life goes on and you need to keep making progress with vital plans and goals despite the trickiness of another void lunar cycle starting at 11:02AM EST as the Moon contacts Neptune via a 60-degree link. This lunar uncertainty zone lasts until 9:21PM EST and the arrival of earthy Taurus Moon.

How can you make the most of this 10 hour limbo time-span? It's fine to improvise with a favorite musical instrument, explore artistic techniques or experiment with a video camera. These activities are connected to the intrinsic meaning of inspirational Neptune. However, initiating serious and costly enterprises in these fields is not recommended.

Learning from mentors and teachers is essential around the time of a Sun-Saturn 135-degree alignment (1:24PM EST). Keep your distance from fears, worries and self-doubts that constitute the shadow side of the beautiful ringed planet. Tonight's Taurus Moon can lead to financial breakthroughs as the lunar orb forms a grand triangle by making flowing trines to Pluto (11:11PM EST) and Saturn (12:58AM EST). Hard work and determination are once again your dynamic duo that will eventually turn into the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Nevertheless, prepare for a possible test in matters of the heart as Venus in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn (11:48PM EST). It's hard to sugarcoat any clash between lovely Venus and extremist Pluto. Usually some emotional distress will arise, but that doesn't mean you have to wallow in pain and suffering. See the situation as objectively as possible, and know you can transform a challenge into an opportunity to grow and evolve.
