The Moon is very busy today, beginning with a harmonious sextile to the Sun and Mercury in the wee hours of the morning (at around 4 am).  

These combinations bring a general sense of well-being and emotional security that will give us a good foundation for the square to Mars that takes place at around 7:15 am EDT adding the potential for cantankerous behavior to our day.  Later in the morning we may find ourselves, already irritated, facing off in confrontations when the Moon challenges Saturn at around 1:50 pm.  This is a time when our personal desires will come up against our duties and responsibilities, and both will have to be balanced.  If we veer too far in either direction it could get uncomfortable. 

Fortunately, a harmonious trine from the Moon to Jupiter will ease any ruffled feathers in the late afternoon and when the trine culminates at around 6 pm EDT there will be a general feeling of goodwill and generosity.
