Sunday: the Moon is in Taurus
Jupiter in Aquarius is at an invigorating angle (square) to the Moon. Often the square aspect between planets is considered to be sharp and problematic. However, Jupiter promotes opportunities, growth and expansion, so in this case the connection is very upbeat. Take advantage of the energy and continue to follow-through on projects and accomplishments.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday am(*v/c): the Moon is in Gemini
In contrast to what we just discussed about Jupiter and the Moon, Mars is at a square angle to the Moon and this could bring up problems with communication. Mars energy, which is action-oriented, is not easily compatible with Moon energy, which is emotion-oriented. The sign that the Moon is in, Gemini, rules communication. The sign that Mars is in, Pisces, can keep things in a state of confusion, plus Mars has a tendency toward confrontation. Bottom line - it would be good to count to ten and take everything with a grain of salt before getting involved.
Wednesday pm, Thursday, Friday(v/c): the Moon is in Cancer
Three planets, the Sun, Mercury and Venus are square the Moon. (For astrological purposes the Sun and Moon are called planets even though technically they are luminaries.) Here is another square Lunar aspect for the week and one that will likely be positive, although there is the slight chance that someone could get their feelings hurt by something that is said. This is a brief situation however and will not have a serious impact on the relationship.
Friday late afternoon, Saturday: the Moon is in Leo
Jupiter is at an angle called 'opposition' to the Moon this weekend. The positive side of this aspect is that it balances things out. One of the key words for Leo is fun. Therefore, if you have not had enough fun in your life lately, this would be a good weekend to enjoy yourself to the fullest.

Note: Timeframes for Moon signs, void-of-course periods, and current planet & asteroid positions are noted for Eastern time zone (USA). Please adjust according to your own location. Times are not given if the void-of-course Moon occurs for a very short period or if it occurs during the night (based on Eastern time zone).
* v/c = Void-of-Course - When the Moon is void-of-course, spend time working on projects already in progress, creative endeavors, or self-improvement. Void-of-course simply means that no planets are aspecting the Moon. It's best not to start new projects, sign important agreements, or go shopping when the Moon is void-of-course because the result will probably be unsatisfactory in some way.
** Mercury Retrograde - the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Communications, paperwork, electronics, and traffic can become very mixed-up or delayed during this time. A situation will be in the process of changing, so wait until Mercury is direct to finalize anything. In general, maintain a slower, more cautious pace in daily affairs. Always allow at least two days before (to slow down) and after Mercury retrograde (to resume regular activities).
