Monday, AUGUST 10

Venus forms a trine to Pluto and later, an opposition to Neptune today. Our need for depth, magic, meaning, complexity, and imagination in our interactions, hobbies, and relationships is strong now. We want to be moved!

With the Venus-Pluto trine, we can feel happily passionate and focused on a person, situation, connection, or project. The need to share or enjoy life on more profound levels is pleasantly intense.

This trine helps us connect with what we love and cherish. We might narrow our focus to our advantage, or we seek to grow, improve, or develop our attachments. Recognizing the value of patience, we become more strategic and are more likely to gain new insights into business and personal relationships.

The Mars-Node harmony today can move us to pursue our goals, participate, or make a special connection. This influence supports taking on a challenge.

However, with Venus opposite Neptune this evening, our expectations can cloud our vision. We can feel exasperated or wistful, and problems can emerge if we’ve been indiscriminate with money, pleasures, and relationships. Uncertainty in Venus-ruled areas of life (romance, social life, leisure, and finances) can be prominent.

We need to assess what has become dysfunctional, and in the process, we may need to give up an unrealistic ideal to make gains. We are more emotionally vulnerable and more susceptible to deceit or self-deceit.

The Moon is void from 3:31 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Saturn), until the Moon enters Leo the next day, Tuesday, August 11th, at 4:39 AM EDT.
