Monday, July 31st ~ We start the day with the Capricorn moon squaring Chiron at 8:01am and later trining Uranus at 12:28pm EST. Breaking out of routines could be a challenge today but will ultimately allow for new opportunities to enter in. Try an even slightly different option and see what arises. Later, the moon sextiles Neptune at 7:54pm and then squares its Nodes at 9:37pm EST. We dream of possibilities but prefer to hang out in the brainstorming phase. Don't rush to take action; things will develop in their own time. The moon conjuncts Pluto at 10:12pm before moving void of course for an hour and a half. There is a pull to transform and see change in our lives. It might feel overwhelming, but again, we can't speed through the process. Pluto invites us to slow down and transform from within before changing things externally. The moon's void ends at 11:57pm EST as it enters Aquarius. We are gearing up for tomorrow's Full Moon and will feel the energy building and creating an almost magical atmosphere.
Tuesday, August 1st ~ Happy August! Today is Lughnasadh, the Pagan summer harvest holiday. The moon is in Aquarius all day, building toward its Full perfection. The Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius occurs at 2:31pm EST, the first major aspect of the day. This Full Moon is powerful, reminding us to broaden our idea of what is possible. Aquarius is a big picture sign that governs friendship, community, and humanitarianism. Combined with the Sun in Leo (governing self, creativity, and ego), we are invited to challenge society's ideals and see what works for us and what doesn't. Where have you been influenced by the values and beliefs of others, and does it align with you? This is a creative and expressive Full Moon that puts the emphasis on sharing aspects of self in order to inspire and help others. It's a good opportunity to attract in friends and community who will support you in these endeavors. To have a full moon on a Celtic holiday makes it even more magical and thins the veil, should we wish to implement our intuition or interact with those in higher realms beyond. Mars trines Jupiter today at 4:44pm EST, a transit we will feel for most of the week. This amps up physical energy and excitement, and helps us to take inspired action. Follow what feels joyful and see what unfolds. The moon squares Jupiter at 9:37pm; we might feel restless and wide awake this evening. Mercury opposes Saturn at 10:17pm EST, a transit we feel building all day. There could be some communication difficulties arising today. We understand things perfectly well mentally but could struggle to share our thoughts and emotions, which can lead to frustration. Take your time in speaking and writing rather than rushing through. The more deliberate we are, the better we can be understood during this transit.
Wednesday, August 2nd ~ Today begins with the Aquarius moon sextile Chiron at 7:14am and later squaring Uranus at 11:44am EST. Conversations with a dear friend bring insight and healing. Unwelcome surprises could arise today, but consider the possibility that there could be a silver lining to what is happening. The moon opposes Venus at 5:15pm EST and then moves void of course for about six hours. Later in the day, we require some time to rest, relax, and recharge on our own. Being around too many people can be overwhelming and intense. The moon sextiles its North Node at 8:14pm EST which allows guided inspiration to enter our minds and give us a direction of focus. The void periods ends as the moon enters Pisces at 11:05pm EST, bringing a dreamy, soft energy that opens the heart and imagination.
Thursday, August 3rd ~ We have a full day with the moon in Pisces, strengthening the intuition and allowing for channeled creativity to emerge. The moon conjuncts Saturn at 7:52am EST which is good for grounding and bringing focus in what is otherwise a spacey, fantasy-tinged day. The moon opposes Mercury at 11:02am EST, which can make it difficult to put some thoughts into words. We can say a lot by saying little today. The moon sextiles Jupiter later on at 9:19pm and opposes Mars at 11:14pm EST. Excitement builds but we might feel overly reactive. Emotions swell up and pass just as quickly. Spend some time meditating, going to a body of water or taking a bath, or lighting a candle and setting an intention. This brings grounding while still connecting us to our higher self and intuition.
Friday, August 4th ~ This Friday begins with the Pisces moon sextiling Uranus at 11:34am EST, bringing an exciting encounter with another person that inspires and electrifies. Anticipation builds as we consider the possibilities this connection offers. Later, the moon conjuncts Neptune at 6:59pm EST, erasing boundaries and allowing us to merge fully with those around us. Make sure the people you are spending time with today are people whose energy you don't mind taking in! The moon sextiles Pluto at 9:20pm EST and then moves void of course for about two hours. We are encouraged to explore our deep desires and not feel any shame or hide away from them. The moon's void ends as it ingresses Aries at 11:19pm EST. The moon in Aries is bold, curious, and independent. We are likely to be more impulsive and impatient this weekend.
Saturday, August 5th ~ Today is quite simple astrologically. The moon is in Aries all day, suggesting having some time to work on your own projects or do your own thing could be enjoyable. Be direct and forthright today for the best results. The moon reaches its Waning Gibbous phase at 9:40pm EST. Put an emphasis on what is going well in your life, and reflect on the things and people you are grateful for. While there may still be things you'd change or improve if you could, it can be helpful during this moon phase to focus on the good. Today is also your humble celestial narrator (me!)'s birthday, and I just want to thank you all for reading my forecasts. Your support and interest in tracking the planets' movements is so wonderful and I'm grateful for each and every one of you.
Sunday, August 6th ~ We have a second full day with the moon in fiery, confident Aries, giving us the fuel we need to initiate change. The moon conjuncts Chiron at 8:46am EST which can bring healing to the physical body. Pay attention to your needs. Stretch, work out, eat healthy foods you crave, and remember to hydrate! The key is to tune into the individual needs of your body, as they might be different from those of others. The moon trines Venus at 4:34pm EST, which is a social and dynamic transit that encourages us to be direct with our friends and tell them exactly what we're thinking. The Sun squares Jupiter at 8:02pm EST, though we feel this transit all day. We will be on the lookout for adventures and ways to shake up the normal flow of our day. Be careful not to push too hard or too far, and give reckless decisions a little more consideration. We may be too generous with our time or energy today. The moon conjuncts its North Node at 10:45pm EST which brings in an opportunity that opens a brand new door.
