The often fussy Virgo Moon’s tendencies to worry and criticize are countered by a generous and joyful Venus-Jupiter trine on Friday. This outgoing and romantic aspect overcomes the niggling doubts that inhibit emotions and the expression of love.

Relationships get another boost on Saturday, when the Moon enters the partnership sign Libra very early in the morning. Communication flows easily and mentally stimulating activities are on tap early in the day. But a tense lunar square to suspicious Pluto can spur mistrust or a power struggle toward the afternoon and early evening. But even if plans don’t flow smoothly, forgiving Neptune’s shift into direct motion frees up forces of compassion and imagination that can reduce stress and lower the likelihood of conflict.

The wee hours of Sunday continue this positive trend as the lovely Libra Moon forms harmonious alignments with joyous Jupiter and amorous Venus. Staying up past your bedtime may be tiring the next day, but fatigue resulting from the exhaustion of having a great time is a tiny price to pay.

Sunday is also sweet, as the accommodating Libra Moon glides through a day made for sharing and working in pairs. Artistic activities and classy cultural events are especially interesting, along with all types of creative collaborations. Passion is pushed into a higher gear with a lunar hookup with energetic Mars later that night.
