By The Astrologer, Kelli Fox Today, the imprudent Sagittarius Moon makes tough angles to Mercury, Venus and Neptune. This isn't a good time to offer critical feedback. Loved ones probably will not respond well to helpful suggestions, taking them as insults instead. When asked for an opinion, maintain a diplomatic silence. It may be the only way to avoid an argument under these tense influences. In addition, the Moon will form a conjunction to mature Saturn. Instead of criticizing others for their shortcomings, undergo a self-improvement program. People hate lectures. They respond better to those who lead by example. Refuse to accept second best; go for the gold. Looking ahead, the structured Capricorn Moon will make supportive aspects to clever Mercury and upbeat Jupiter. Making plans for the future could feel empowering. Envision the ideal outcome and then work toward it. If you're celebrating your birthday today, the year ahead may invite you to work on your relationships. Resist the temptation to judge others. Cultivate your own happiness instead. When you focus on your own challenges, ties to friends, family and colleagues will get stronger. The only person you can change is yourself.
