Moon in Virgo-->Libra

/moon goes void-of-course at 2:21a PT | 5:21a ET | 9:21a UT   ** /

until it enters Libra at 10:34a PT | 1:34p ET | 5:34p UT   ***

It's likely that today and Tuesday will be the smoothest days of the week, before the moon enters the Via Combusta from evening Tuesday through Thursday. Attention to business, projects, and routine necessities, as well as social connections, could go well on these first two days this week. 

But this is true only after Luna enters Libra (at the time above). Before that, the Monday morning regathering of threads could be rather slack, diffident, or backward and confusing unless you stick to routines rather closely. 

The moon in Libra is an "iffy" position. People with it in their birth charts seem to waver in their decisions, or seem warm one day and cold the next. Today it is in good aspect with Mars suggesting a savvy approach to study as well as money (because of Mars's position in the chart as well as other factors). Business, and the stock market, are usually highly confusing during any Mercury Retrograde period (this one continues to May 22), and this time seems no exception, with investors perplexed about what the Market may be doing. In both this week's Bloomberg Businessweek and Time Magazine, the major articles are about the economy and strange directions it has been taking in recent years, and what might be done to rectify the situation. That fits with the Grand Trine in earth signs, including three planets (Mercury, Venus and the sun) in Taurus the quintessential money sign (and the sign of the extraordinarily prescient economist John Maynard Keynes). It would not be surprising if many are wavering or confused about money, investments, or income sources today. Still, the Grand Trine provides background support for wise thinking and deciding in those areas, provided one goes slow, measuring one's steps carefully.

Chatting, conversation, and casual friendship could go smoothly up to a point, although it is clear that people's viewpoints are distinctively different. The Part of Fortune in the 5th sector suggests entertainment, self-expression, trying out one's personality in fresh situations for the sheer joy of living and experiencing.
