By The Astrologer, Kelli Fox Today, the picky Virgo Moon makes harsh angles to Mars, Saturn and Neptune. People have a tendency to nitpick. As a result, it will be difficult to get good ideas off the ground. Instead of asking for feedback, keep projects a secret. It would be unfortunate to expose a promising concept to withering criticism. Like a seed, burgeoning notions have to be protected and nourished. Fortunately, the Moon also forms a conjunction to clever Mercury. The heart and head are working in perfect harmony. It isn't necessary to get other people's approval when self- confidence is strong. Looking ahead, analytical Mercury will oppose instinctive Neptune. Heads may be at war with hearts. It may be impossible to satisfy anyone under this stressful influence. If you're celebrating your birthday today, the year ahead warns against overthinking. Instead of examining an issue from every angle, take risks. Defy conventional wisdom. Obey impulses. A brilliant idea for a writing project is worth following. Don't waste time on outlines; just scribble down whatever comes to mind.
