Monday, August 7th ~ Today begins with the Aries moon squaring Pluto at 12:12am EST. We feel some tension playing out in relationships with a power imbalance. It can feel as though the person with the upper hand is abusing their authority somewhat. This will lessen in intensity as the day progresses. The moon is void of course from 12:13am until it enters Taurus at 2:24am EST. The Taurus moon is in exaltation and brings a need to enjoy life's pleasures. We engage with all our senses and melt into our enjoyment. The moon sextiles Saturn at 11:45am EST which allows for tangible progress toward goals. We benefit from working with our hands to create things.
Tuesday, August 8th ~ Today is the Lion's Gate, the potent portal that occurs on 8/8 every year when the Sun makes it halfway through the sign of Leo and the star Sirius rises on our horizon. This was considered to be a sacred day in ancient times, where important messages could be transmitted from beyond to people on Earth. Channeled visions and transmissions come in all forms today. It can be helpful to spend some time meditating or holding a favorite crystal. The moon is in Taurus today, and begins by trining Mercury at 1:09am and conjuncting Jupiter at 4:10am EST. These transits aid in opening channels of communication and allowing an expansion of consciousness. The moon reaches its Last Quarter phase at 6:28am EST, and our attention turns to the unfinished. Over the next two days, spending time tying up loose ends and finishing uncompleted tasks can be helpful for allowing new energy to flow your way. The moon trines Mars at 10:46am EST which provides a boost of physical vitality and willpower. Later, the moon conjuncts Uranus at 7:50pm and squares Venus at 8:20pm EST. These two planets will be squaring tomorrow, and the moon serves to contribute some mediation and reflection on their sparring. We are encouraged to look at our relationship with change, and consider ways it can be helpful rather than scary.
Wednesday, August 9th ~ Today starts with the Taurus moon sextile Neptune at 3:59am and then trine Pluto at 6:38am EST. This is a dreamy and yet powerful combination of transits. We envision beauty and connect to it through expanded imagination and creativity. Pluto's impact allows for added courage and power to take on the day. The moon is void of course beginning at 6:39am and last about two and a half hours. During this void, Venus squares Uranus at 7:08am EST. This transit is palpable all day long, and adds some instability to relationships. We could experience surprises in our intimate relationships that activate worry and stress. It can be helpful to let go of expectations and trust there is something to learn or heal from as we navigate these changes. As Venus is currently retrograde, we may notice these changes involve our emotions regarding past relationships. However, one plus of this transit is surprise artistic visions and ideas. The moon's void ends as it enters curious Gemini at 9:05am EST. Later, the moon squares Saturn at 6:45pm EST, suggesting we could feel alone with our thoughts. Don't spin out in your own head. Take deep breaths, get outside, and distract yourself if need be. Last, Mercury trines Jupiter at 8:47pm EST. This is a pleasant transit which makes us more talkative and allows for quick thinking. We can carry on multiple conversations or hold many trains of thought at once. Philosophical and spiritual topics are especially appealing.
Thursday, August 10th ~ The moon is in mutable air sign Gemini all day, allowing for versatility of ideas and increased sociability. The moon squares Mercury at 2:02pm EST, the first transit for the day. We could feel scattered mentally and a bit unfocused. The moon enters its Waning Crescent phase at 7:36pm EST. The end of the week and weekend are a bit more inward and reflective, and encourage us to spend time charging ourselves up and recuperating from the earth's intense swirl of energies. The moon squares Mars at 10:27pm and sexiles Chiron at 10:58pm EST. Anger can come up during this time, but it proves to be cathartic and healing. Get your feelings out in a safe way, through journaling or venting to a trusted friend who is ready to receive.
Friday, August 11th ~ Today starts with the Gemini moon sextiling retrograde Venus at 2:51am EST. This transit encourages friendships to bloom and grow, and to give us a spark of inspiration to see the beauty in all we encounter. The moon squares Neptune at 1:27pm EST and then moves void of course for about five and a half hours. We want to look at life realistically but could find our imaginations taking over. Be careful not to run with these imagined truths and instead sit with them to find out what's real. The moon sextiles its North Node at 2:28pm EST which brings healing and growth if we confront something within us that scares us. The void ends at 6:52pm EST as the moon enters the sign it rules over, Cancer. Our emotions become more vast and important feeling, and we can gain much by trusting our intuition.
Saturday, August 12th ~ The moon is in emotional, nostalgic Cancer all day, casting a silvery glow of memory over the day. We easily connect with past feelings and sentiment, and can romanticize the past as we consider the more beautiful parts of it. The moon trines Saturn at 4:37am EST which allows us to take responsibility for our contribution to a situation. This can be cathartic and healing for all involved. The Sun trines Chiron at 2:12pm EST. We are encouraged to bring in more self love today, and work to give love by letting our true selves shine to the world. Be authentic, direct, and try to not engage in any negative self talk today. It's okay if thoughts or feelings come up, just redirect them. For instance, if you are feeling bad about being unproductive, try: "I am doing the best I can. Rest will make me more productive later on."
Sunday, August 13th ~ We have a second full day of the moon in dreamy, protective Cancer. We start with the moon sextile Jupiter at 12:05am and sextile Mercury at 5:25am EST. Our hearts are big and bold today and we will likely want to give and receive more love and affection, however it is we most prefer to show it. The Sun conjuncts Venus at 7:15am EST. This Venus cazimi is powerful and connects us through a direct pipeline to our hearts in the past. Rather than exes popping up or people from the past reemerging, we can think of this instead as an echo from our emotional past that returns to show us our progress. We can see how we've grown and changed since then, and also can bring healing to the painful feelings we went through long ago. Any intentions we send out today reverberate back to those spots on our personal timeline where we most needed a friend. The moon squares Chiron at 10:05am EST which suggests this work will be tender and heavy but most necessary. The moon sextiles Mars at 12:56pm and sextiles Uranus at 4:30pm EST. Later in the day, we seek adventures in the company of someone we care about. Trying something new and getting out of the house can feel quite freeing tonight.
