The Moon today
The Full Moon in Aries brings a sense of urgency and directness to the day. Full Moons traditionally amplify emotions and illuminate what has been hidden, and Aries energy tends towards action, courage and fresh starts. You may feel more assertive than usual, and situations may come to a head. The Moon moves into Taurus at 15:39 UK time this afternoon, shifting the mood towards steadiness and a need for comfort. Where the morning may have felt charged and reactive, the evening is likely to feel calmer and more grounded, inviting you to slow down and find stability.

Several major aspects are active today. The Sun is forming a trine to Uranus (building), which traditionally supports innovation, originality and breaking free from constraint. At the same time, the Sun is opposite Neptune (fading), which can bring some confusion or a pull towards escapism; the two aspects work against each other slightly. The Sun is also trine Pluto (fading), suggesting themes of transformation and depth beneath the surface.
Mercury is squaring Mars (building), which traditionally stirs up mental energy and sharpness but can also create friction in communication and debate. This aspect may make discussions more intense over the coming hours.
In the background, Uranus is trine Pluto (building), a slow-moving aspect that supports fundamental change and reform over the longer term. Neptune and Pluto are in a sextile (fading), traditionally associated with imagination meeting transformation, though this one is nearly exact and passing away.

Retrogrades
Four planets are retrograde today: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Retrograde planets are traditionally thought to turn awareness inward, inviting reflection rather than outward action. This can be a useful time for reviewing, reconsidering decisions and understanding patterns, though it may also feel like progress is slower or that old issues resurface for deeper work.
Making the most of today
The morning's Aries Full Moon is good for finishing things or having honest conversations you have been putting off, while Mercury square Mars is active. Choose your words carefully if tensions are high.
Once the Moon enters Taurus this afternoon, shift gears. Ground yourself with something tactile and nourishing: a good meal, time outside, or simply sitting quietly. This is when the day's intensity can settle into something more peaceful and restorative.
