Jupiter

Take a creative approach toward cultivating refinement while the Aries Moon and Saturn join forces, dearest archer. You'll crave attention, but should be mindful to express your unique perspective with poise. Breathe life into your decisions without going over the top, putting extra detail into your aesthetic, passion projects, and pursuit of joy. Tastes are liable to change as Pluto becomes more active. Keep an open mind to discover new interests and personal truths. Give peers a chance to expose you to unfamiliar cultures or topics, even if you're used to playing the role of trendsetter. Find a balance between evolving and honoring your roots once Luna squares Jupiter later tonight.
