Limits may be set in the name of healing at this time. The delicate Moon picks a fight with expansive Jupiter at 5:28 am EDT, which can bring too much of a good thing, overindulgence, or moodiness with it. Luna then faces off with the confident Sun, increasing indecision and inconsistency, complicating the process of charting our daily courses. To bring us back on track, the Moon harmonizes with wounded healer Chiron, strengthening us to cut back on excess. Set limits to bring balance.

BIG PINE KEY — Partying never gets old in the Florida Keys — especially for a milestone birthday like No. 200.
The Florida Keys celebrated its bicentennial Monday along the Gulf of Mexico with a Key lime pie more than 13 feet in diameter — which organizers intend to certify as a world record.

During the Civil War, Key West remained in Union hands as a base for a...

A Christian graphic artist who the Supreme Court said can refuse to make wedding websites for gay couples pointed during her lawsuit to a request from a man named “Stewart” and his husband-to-be. The twist? Stewart says it never happened.
The revelation has raised questions about how Lorie Smith’s case was allowed to proceed all the way to the nation’s highest court with such an apparent misrepresentation and whether the state of Colorado, which lost the case last week, has any legal recourse.
It has served as another distraction...

When it comes to buying a home, especially with today’s affordability challenges, you’ll want to be strategic. Mortgage rates impact how much it costs to borrow money for your home loan. And, to help offset the higher borrowing costs today, some homebuyers are taking a close look at their wish list and re-evaluating what features they really need in their next home to avoid overextending. As a recent NerdWallet article says:“A pool, for example, may be nice to have, but it may not provide as much day-to-day value as a garage or a space for a home office . . .”While that pool may be appealing,...

We may now be glowing with cosmic confidence! The emotion-driven Moon inspires lucky Jupiter, encouraging us to boldly go beyond our typical horizons. The Full Moon lights us up at 7:39 am EDT in dedicated Capricorn. Commitment is easier than usual, as we can understand where we haven’t been as consistent so that we can remedy that going forward. That said, the Moon’s tension with distractable Mercury may make it difficult to focus. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.

Even powerful courses of action can be diverted. As the sensitive Moon empowers bold Mars, we’re gifted the confidence to break through any uncertainty or fear. Balanced Venus then squares off with shocking Uranus at 10:34 am EDT, knocking us off course and leading us astray if we aren’t careful. Finally, the Moon moves into serious Capricorn to give us a reality check and swiftly bring us back on task. We don’t have to wallow in regret, only learn from any mistakes we’ve made.
