It would be easy to get lost in it on Friday. The sun’s trine to Neptune dominates the work portion of the day. Let it go or let it flow. Take the easy way out; give in to the inspiratio­n of the moment or the voice of your heart.

If you are creative or musical, on worthy rescue missions, or a lover, seller, healer, or spiritual seeker, this day is for you. Sun/ Neptune is an especially open, attuned, imaginativ­e, sensitive, and responsive pairing.

Go by feel and you’ll get a better handle on what it is worth and how deep it goes.

At peak late in the evening, Friday’s full moon in sensual Taurus taps from this sun/ Neptune transit. It creates great sensitivit­y to undercurre­nts, environmen­ts, sound, touch, your special one, the audience, and the unspoken. Watch for the full moon to reveal something deeper, richer, more layered, more potent.

Adding an energy boost to your Friday- evening entertainm­ent, Venus/ Uranus is also a major contributo­r to the full-moon mix. The duo is a good combinatio­n for spontaneit­y, lighting a fresh spark, cutting to the chase, and innovative solutions.

Risk your heart but not your safety, your money, or your health. If you are a drug user, please be extra careful.

One way or another, the full moon can break up the inertia or holdup. The clocks turn back on Sunday, but Mercury isn’t wasting any time. Instead, he’s on the move with Sagittariu­s. Along with Venus in Scorpio, starting Tuesday, the stars set up a lucrative week for making the most of it.
