Saturn Square Uranus
Protests seem to be everywhere we look — girls throwing tomato soup on a Van Gogh, vegan teens barricading the dairy aisle. Whether we agree or not, this interchange is fueling our human need to assert our values and beliefs.

Balsamic Moon in Virgo
We enter a highly introspective period with this Balsamic Moon in Virgo. Watch for the tendency to be overly critical and too hard on yourself. Rather than ruminate, spend time studying or reading, a great use of the Balsamic period.
