Monday, August 21st ~ The day begins with the Libra moon conjuncting its South Node at 12:22pm EST, putting us in touch with memories from the past and people we might not have seen in some time. There could be heavy nostalgia and feelings of longing for a time gone by. The moon squares Pluto at 4:19pm and then reaches its Waxing Crescent phase at 4:30pm EST. Feelings intensify, and we begin to daydream about our wants and desires for the coming weeks. Passions rise, though we still look for harmony under the Libra moon. The moon is void of course from 4:31pm until it enters Scorpio at 7:22pm EST. This period brings some sleepiness and lower energy, but we emerge feeling more intense in our focus. Some will be single-minded when it comes to achieving a goal. The moon is considered in "fall" when it's in Scorpio, which makes it difficult to express emotions outwardly. We hold them closer to the chest and can find it difficult to let others in.
Tuesday, August 22nd ~ The moon is in deep, mystical Scorpio all day. Our intuition is heightened and we may experience a more intense need for privacy. Today is quite an intense astrological day. The Sun is at 29 degrees Leo, which gives many a compulsion to be seen, heard, and noticed at any cost. The moon trines Saturn at 3:32am EST which helps us lock into tasks and take our responsibilities more seriously. Venus squares Jupiter at 8:16am EST, a transit we feel all day. This can bring us to make sudden decisions regarding relationships. We can go overboard in our pursuit of getting others to notice and like us. Finally, Mars opposes Neptune at 4:33pm EST, a transit that is palpable for most of the week. This is a tricky one, as we tend to take action blindly. We might go against logical thinking and end up getting more lost and confused. The main way to deal with this is to curb impulsivity. It's okay to hold off on acting until you gather more information and have time to listen to your heart and figure out what you really want.
Wednesday, August 23rd ~ Happy Virgo season! This first day of the mutable earth season has the moon in Scorpio, creating an equal desire for connection to the sensual world and exploration of the mind and spirit. The moon squares Venus at 12:09am and opposes Jupiter at 12:48am EST. We experience a lot of private swells in emotion and will likely prefer to keep these to ourselves. The Sun enters Virgo at 5:01am EST. Virgo season is a time to connect with nature, and to clean up our physical space to allow for more peace of mind. We often find our minds to be more active during Virgo season and we can benefit from playing games which strengthen the memory and mental processes. The moon sextiles Mercury at 1:03pm EST which helps boost communication. It is advised to have important talks with others in the morning or early afternoon EST today before Mercury Rx begins. The moon opposes Uranus at 3:18pm EST which can scatter our thoughts but also bring sudden flashes of insight. Mercury stations retrograde at 3:59pm EST, lasting through September 15th. The next few weeks see Mercury trekking back through the sign of Virgo, and as such we can unravel old ways of thinking which might be holding us back. Many get stuck in the same thought patterns and loops this retrograde; if you stay aware, you can use this repetition to break out of this mental scripting and set yourself free. Those with personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) in Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Gemini will notice this happening the most.
Thursday, August 24th ~ Today starts with the Scorpio moon sextiling Mars at 12:09am and sextile Pluto at 1:10am EST. We receive a boost of energy and are likely to be quite alert and active. If asleep we may have very vivid or wild dreams. The moon is void of course from 1:11am until it enters Sagittarius at 4:07am EST. Sagittarius moon days are adventurous and we find it easier to focus on possibilities and dreams for the future. The moon reaches its First Quarter phase at 5:57am EST, a stimulating two day period which encourages us to take action in pursuit of our dreams. The moon squares Saturn at 11:29am EST which can intensify frustrations when it comes to not getting work done. Mars trines Pluto at 8:23pm EST, a transit we have felt building since the start of the week and will continue to feel through the weekend. This is an ambitious aspect which imbues us with willpower and the need to succeed. We connect with our inner talents and will climb over any blockade which gets in our way to share them and show the world our capabilities. This is a good time to go for something you want or begin to take steps to make it a reality.
Friday, August 25th ~ The moon is in fiery, philosophical Sagittarius all day, which amps up our energy and brings a sense of wanderlust and restlessness to our lives. The moon trines Venus at 5:26pm EST, which brings harmony to social situations. We can learn a lot from those around us today. The moon trines Chiron at 2:59pm EST which brings healing through taking action and trying something we'd normally be too scared to do. The moon squares retrograde Mercury later on at 6:42pm EST, which could develop into some misunderstandings if we are not clear and concise with our words.
Saturday, August 26th ~ This weekend begins with the Sagittarius moon trining its North Node at 2:55am and squaring Neptune at 3:49am EST. We have big plans and dreams, but could easily get lost in the imagining process and forget to implement them. Daydreaming feels extra fun and exciting today, so it's okay to enjoy the ride. The moon squares Mars at 7:56am and then moves void of course until 9:05am EST when it enters Capricorn. We resent getting boxed in by others and will feel especially bothered by being cooped up or having to bend to the whims of someone else. We need room to roam and explore today. The moon enters its Waxing Gibbous phase at 2:38pm and sextiles Saturn at 3:38pm EST. The energy of the day is extremely future oriented. We want to get hyped up about all the possibilities, but the ingress of the moon into Capricorn makes us need to see concrete progress toward our goals. The moon is in detriment in Capricorn, which makes it challenging to feel emotions deeply and access our intuition on these days. It's not impossible, but we may find ourselves questioning our feelings or instincts during this two day period.
Sunday, August 27th ~ The moon is in Capricorn all day long, bringing grounding and a strong internal compass. The Sun opposes Saturn at 4:28am EST, a transit which guides the day. We will have to confront personal fears today and assert our own power and control. The main drive of this transit is to be free from the authority of others and to meet challenges head on with intensity. Mars enters Libra today at 9:19am EST, where it will be until October 12th. Mars is in its detriment in Libra, which means the planet can't operate at full strength while here. Libra is a peace loving sign that prefers things to be harmonious and smooth, but Mars is brash, bold, and confrontational. Mars doesn't like to compromise, but it needs to while it's here. The next month and a half, we benefit from being gentler, listening more, and using our power and action to help bring more peace to the world at large. The moon trines Jupiter at 10:57am EST which increases optimism and curiosity. Later, the moon squares Chiron at 5:27pm and trines retrograde Mercury at 8:00pm EST. While it can be overwhelming to talk things out with someone in our lives, the conversation can bring great healing to both parties. Finally, the moon trines Uranus at 11:21pm EST. We are one step ahead of things as they unfold and feel more quick witted and able to improvise as we handle what comes our way.
