Friday’s mood is frisky and flirtatious with the Moon’s presence in playful and chatty Gemini. Emotions tend to be light with this lunar placement, and variety makes life more interesting. Avoiding boredom is a must in an environment when change is more captivating than consistency.

The emotional atmosphere is altered shortly after midnight on Saturday with a lunar shift into nostalgic and nurturing Cancer. Comfort and safety are prized as we seek familiar faces and comfortable places where we can settle down with a sense of security. But there are several intense planetary patterns that are more likely to intensify feelings than calm our nerves. The Moon’s tricky aspects with Uranus, Pluto and Venus provoke surprises and produce uncertainty. Being flexible and ready to change plans at a moment’s notice reduces the likelihood of being shocked or disappointed.

Magnetic Venus’ tense square with manipulative Pluto adds a shadow of doubt to relationships and self-worth. Mistrust is possible, but this cosmic alignment also creates an air of mystery that could make life sexier. While digging deep to uncover buried issues isn’t most people’s idea of fun, those willing to examine their partnership needs with courage and honesty can find hidden jewels of pleasure and satisfaction.
