Monday, August 14th ~ Today we begin with the Cancer moon trining Neptune at 12:57am and squaring its Lunar Nodes at 1:18am EST. We long to get lost in daydreams, and romanticize things in our heads today. Despite not much outward progress getting made, this can be helpful in showing us what we really want at the moment. The moon opposes Pluto at 3:46am EST and then moves void of course for about three hours. This shows us deep emotions and shines a light onto things we might normally keep in shadow. The moon's void ends at 6:36am EST as it moves into Leo. The Leo moon brings a vibrancy to the day and a desire to express ourselves openly and maybe a bit dramatically. We are approaching the New Moon and might feel more inward or introverted as a result. Venus enters into a perfect trine with Chiron today at 10:54am EST, though this transit is palpable all day and even into tomorrow. This allows for healing of relationships to take place. It's a good day to talk things over with friends and make your feelings known. Through open expression, we can mend confusion and lack of clarity in our relationships.
Tuesday, August 15th ~ The moon is in sunny, creative Leo all day, waning towards Newness. We reflect on our self identity and creative ideas today, and could have a revelation as to how we wish to express ourselves in the world. The moon squares Jupiter at 12:44pm EST; we feel emotionally invested in something to an extreme level and will find it difficult to hide our feelings. The moon conjuncts Venus at 8:43pm and trines Chiron at 10:25pm EST. This is a sensitive and sweet combination which deepens intimacy in romances and friendships alike. We are encouraged to be open and honest with loved ones, and show our appreciation for them. The Sun squares Uranus at 10:34pm EST, though this is a transit we feel building for about 12 hours before and dissipating for 12 hours after. This makes us question authority and fight back against shackles which bind us. We want to be unique and free, but could also experience some self-consciousness around being different. Celebrate the things that make you who you are, but don't use them to keep you separate from the rest of the world.
Wednesday, August 16th ~ Today the Leo moon squares Uranus at 5:04am EST, which emphasizes the highs and lows of our emotions. Objectivity is needed; try to step back from the situation if you can and view it from the eyes of someone who is not involved or judgmental. The New Moon in Leo perfects at 5:38am EST and then it moves void of course for around 14 hours. A New Moon in a void is interesting because it acts as a capsule, where we are insulated in our own minds. We may feel somewhat removed from others. Our experience is more profound if we can spend some time in solitude for at least a little while between 5:39am and 7:14pm EST. Meditate, nap, or go for a peaceful walk. We align with our inner courage and are able to shed the fear that is holding us back. State your intentions to the universe by writing a letter, meditating on what you wish to release, or simply pondering it while you're doing other things. Release desperation and fear and allow yourself to step into your power. Simply holding an intention can be useful, or you can light a candle or hold a crystal (try sunstone, citrine, or sardonyx) if you like. Mars trines Uranus at 9:53am EST, a transit we have felt building for the last two days and will feel through the end of the week. This transit brings innovation and allows us to experience sudden bursts of ideas. It can be especially helpful for those working with tech or science. We prefer to come to answers independently and need space to ponder and allow them to flow in. The moon trines the North Node at 12:53pm EST, a lucky transit which connects us to our higher purpose. Its void ends at 7:14pm EST as it enters Virgo. This brings a more stable, grounded energy to the day.
Thursday, August 17th ~ Today is a nice breath of fresh air after the past couple busy astrological days. The moon is in mutable earth sign Virgo all day, bringing our attention to small details and allowing for more organization of thoughts, feelings, and personal items. We can be more impatient with people who cut corners during Virgo moon days. The moon opposes Saturn at 4:31am EST, the only major transit today. This is a somewhat heavy transit which can make us feel melancholy and cut off from people we love. However, it is wonderful for getting determined and managing what needs to be done. It might be a better day to work on projects and chip away at long-term goals, or spend some time on your own, resting and recuperating. It's not the best time for socialization or sharing sentiments and emotions with others.
Friday, August 18th ~ We have a second full day with the moon in diligent, earthy Virgo. We have a desire to improve our surroundings and help others to achieve their full potential today. The moon trines Jupiter at 1:48am EST, which brings about a more optimistic energy. It's easier to see the possibilities under this aspect. The moon conjuncts Mercury at 1:08pm and trines Uranus at 5:51pm EST. Communication flows easily today, and we have many new ideas which we're excited to share with others. The people around you may present some fresh ideas of their own which serve to inspire and shake up stagnation. The moon conjuncts Mars at 8:57pm EST, allowing us to act more impulsively. We follow our hearts and go after what we want in a passionate manner.
Saturday, August 19th ~ Today starts with the Virgo moon opposing Neptune at 2:00am and trining Pluto at 4:50am EST. We seek to understand our emotions on a deeper and more profound level. This combination of transits is good for seeing the strength and power in being gentle and loving. The moon is void of course from 4:51am until 7:53am EST, when it ingresses Libra. Libra moon days are more social and extroverted, and we enjoy finding ways to harmonize with our environment. We can enjoy collecting items, shopping, and listening to our favorite music. The Sun trines the North Node of the Moon at 1:13pm EST, a transit we feel all day long. This is a very lucky aspect that emphasizes your unique contribution to the cosmic unfoldment of the universe. It allows good karma to play out and brings a feeling of hope. We may have revelations about our purpose in this lifetime or receive signs and signals directing us to where we need to be to get there.
Sunday, August 20th ~ The moon is in cardinal air sign Libra all day, allowing us to see beauty all around and urging us to create it wherever we go. The moon sextiles Venus at 4:07pm EST. This transit is social and pleasant, and helps us to be more charming and magnetic with others. It also allows for mediation of opposing energies, and can be helpful for romance as well. The moon opposes Chiron at 11:00pm EST which brings up wounds related to mothers or mother figures. We can bring healing to these areas by figuring out what we need to feel cared for, and delivering that to ourselves, or by telling a trusted friend what we need. Maybe it's a big hug, maybe it's for someone to check in on you, or maybe it's a kind word or affirmation. We can all do with being kinder to ourselves and each other, and creating opportunities for healing wherever we go.
