Monday, August 22nd ~ Happy Virgo season! The moon is in watery Cancer all day, enhancing intuition and a desire to build on pre-existing relationships. The moon squares Jupiter at 12:09pm EST, which can intensify feelings and create a need for emotional release. Mercury trines Pluto at 5:58pm EST, though we feel this all day and evening. This transit increases perception and observation qualities, allowing us to pick up on small details and hone in our focus. It's a good day for fine, detailed work. The Sun enters Virgo at 11:16pm EST. Here in the sign of mutable earth, we explore the concept of refinement. Virgo cares to dismantle what no longer works and replace it with a new system. Nothing escapes their notice; their keen eye focuses on whatever is in need of an upgrade. The energy of Virgo season is humble and sensual, and is in full alignment with the natural world. It is a good time to tend to your houseplants, cuddle with animal friends, and nurture the body through diet, exercise, and deep rest.
Tuesday, August 23rd ~ We have another day with the moon its domicile of Cancer, creating a protective crabshell around emotions. We could feel like doting on others today, and work through emotional issues by giving love to them. The moon squares Chiron at 4:47am and sextiles the North Node at 6:47am EST. In order to progress on our soul's journey, something must be shed. We are moving toward the New Moon on Saturday; this is the perfect week to clip away dead ends in our life, so to speak. The moon sextiles Uranus at 10:50am and trines Neptune later in the day at 10:25pm EST. This provides ample inspiration and an ability to look at our life with clarity, as though from above. The Cancer moon gives us emotional anchoring and keeps us from feeling too detached. This union of feeling and insight allows for magical happenings to occur.
Wednesday, August 24th ~ The day starts off with the Cancer moon opposing Pluto in Capricorn at 2:16am EST. We could feel like we have an angel and a devil on our shoulders, like we are being pulled between two modes of action. You might feel rebellious but at the same time experience some guilt over this. The moon sextiles Mercury at 5:40am EST and then moves void of course for about three and a half hours. This transit is great for writing poetry or communicating thoughts through fluid, emotional, and lovely language. The moon enters Leo at 9:09am EST and increases our need for attention and affection. Uranus stations retrograde at 9:53am EST at 18 degrees Taurus; this retrograde lasts until January 22nd and sends the planet back to 14 degrees Taurus. If you have any planets at 14-18 degrees Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius, this will be an especially potent time of change for you. Much shifts and shakes in our internal worlds. Venus trines Chiron today at 1:30pm and the moon sextiles Mars at 2:16pm EST. Healing is done through relationships today; others provide a listening ear, or maybe you offer this to someone close to you. We could feel especially protective of loved ones. Expressing yourself through performance could also feel cathartic and freeing.
Thursday, August 25th ~ The moon is in majestic Leo today, allowing us to get in touch with our creative side. You may feel more playful and wish to engage with your inner child. The moon trines Jupiter at 12:10am EST, enhancing this feeling and bringing lightness and sparkling joy. Venus enters a square with the North and South node of the moon at 3:04am EST, locked between these two points for the day. This is a crossroads of sorts. It is time for relationships which no longer serve you to be dissolved. You will need to release those that are holding you back if you ever wish to move forward. The moon trines Chiron at 4:42pm and then the moon too joins Venus in square with both nodes at 5:53pm EST. It is vital to work on building self-confidence and love for self, to move to the next stage. The Leo moon is connected in with animals; if you have trouble caring for yourself, think of how a beloved animal who cares about you views you. This can assist in allowing you to move to the next stage of development. The moon conjuncts Venus at 7:50pm EST, amplifying love and romance. You could find you have hearts for eyes tonight. Mercury moves into Libra at 9:02pm EST, where it will be until September 29th when it retrogrades back into Virgo. With Mercury stationing retrograde at the beginning of September, we will spend longer than normal with Mercury here in Libra. Mercury is dignified in Libra, and allows us to explore our studies with fervent interest. You may feel like diving deep into research or cataloging a hobby or interest of yours in some manner. This is a good place for those in sales, the music industry, or those who own small businesses. You may find with both Mercury and Mars in the diplomatic sign of Libra that tough decisions are easier to make. Today closes out with the moon squaring Uranus at 10:44pm EST. We could feel more dramatic, as though we are leaning into whatever we are feeling in a greatly exaggerated way. Allow yourself to express rather than trying to bottle it up.
Friday, August 26th ~ Today is astrologically quite simple. We start with the Leo moon opposing Saturn at 2:54am EST, increasing defiance. Being told what to do will feel especially irritating. The moon is void of course for the majority of the day, from 2:53am until 8:24pm EST, when it enters Virgo. We are building toward tomorrow's New Moon and are officially in the dark moon phase. Energy levels might be low; it is okay to take it easy and say no to plans if you prefer. You will likely require more water, sleep, and nutritious foods today than on most days. Listen to your body and flow with its needs.
Saturday, August 27th ~ Venus squares Uranus to start the day, perfecting at 12:33am EST but noticeable all day long. This brings surprises to relationships; you may feel somewhat impulsive in your dealings with others. Plans change and even cancel without warning. It could be hard to get a straight answer out of anyone today. People might act in surprising ways. It is a very creative day, but also comes with its fair share of artistic temperament. The Sun squares Mars at 1:27am EST which intensifies grumpiness and moody energy. You could feel frustrated and easily worn out by other people. The moon squares Mars at 4:11am and then turns New at 4:17am EST. This New Moon in Virgo is in square with Mars in Gemini. It is best to insulate ourselves or socialize in bursts today; prolonged interaction can deplete us quickly. The New Moon in Virgo begins a new macro moon cycle relating to health and the physical bodies. Intentions surrounding these themes can be set today; they will begin to manifest in Pisces season this coming February.
Sunday, August 28th ~ The moon is in earthy Virgo all day, still in its dark phase as we creep toward the tiniest sliver of light. The moon trines the North Node at 3:09am EST, aligning us with our purpose. We build toward it slowly, steadily, patiently. The moon trines Uranus at 8:47am EST, shaking up stagnation and allowing us to build new, healthy routines. Venus opposes Saturn at 2:27pm EST; this can create artist's block and make it challenging to express freely. We could also feel like a friend, family member, or lover is being somewhat critical of us (or maybe we are doing this to someone else). It is okay to take a step back for the day if needed. The moon opposes Neptune at 7:27pm and trines Pluto at 11:08pm EST before moving void of course until tomorrow morning. We try to see a situation clearly and view it for what it is, but it can be difficult to remain impartial. Seek out inspiration and momentary distraction in a good book or film; allowing your brain the rest provides you with a reset. The void period is like a soft cocoon for sleep or quiet time.
