}Contentment as an Achievement{

We have Prime Time except for a little more than an hour in the evening (10:18p to 11:45p ET, in case that's important to you, during which time the moon is void of course at the end of Aquarius before it enters Pisces; I leave it to you to adjust for your time zone).

The moon's square with Mars can be uncomfortable but it stimulates activity. This could be connected with travel as well as career matters and study.

Memories are important. They can be peaceful and calming. Something from past halcyon days is wonderful to recollect, not "gone" but merely in abeyance ready to be summoned up. Those who prattle on about "living in the moment" forget that the past can always be with us in a good way. Why should the past be disturbing? We are not chained to it but it is a bulwark. When appreciated correctly it does not frustrate the future but improves it.

Contemplation and study have a definite value on their own, even if unconnected from career goals or projects. In caring about the hidden and remote you care about reality. The sun at a position in good aspect to both Saturn and Uranus (which are opposed) allows a contemplative, peaceful and helpful reconciliation among past, present and future. This you could share with a friend in some way, directly or indirectly.

There is acumen in your thinking because you are open to the unsuspected, novel or surprising. At the same time you recognize basic reality as "just what it is" and can adjust to it without being swamped by it. There is profundity in seeing how to benefit by what has happened and what has been said and taught, even if it seems imperfect. The larger context of which it is a part is more perfect.

You care about efficiency in what you are trying to do and learn. In this you are alone, or have to figure it out for yourself without relying on a partner. You are sensing when you overextend yourself; it is a relief to realize you don't have to do that.

It's okay to care about your appearance and the way you present yourself. You want to be presentable and even eye-catching; yet inwardly may feel that, as long as you are so you don't have to extend yourself any further, remaining inwardly aloof.

Contentment is a wonderful quality, and might even be called an achievement. When you have it you let up on struggle and worry. Then you are more courteous, and elegant in your poise. Actually then you finish things you want to finish more smoothly.
