Tuesday, AUGUST 11

The Sun forms a quincunx to Jupiter early today and is heading toward a quincunx to Neptune. Mercury will do the same on Friday and Saturday. These transits point to hesitation, a feeling of being in limbo, minor dilemmas, and the need for adjustment. We may recognize a need to make changes or let go of a method or habit so as to free ourselves up for different or more fulfilling experiences.

The Last Quarter Moon occurs today as the Sun in Leo forms a square with the Moon in Taurus. The Last Quarter Moon phase points to a crisis of consciousness. We’re ready to sort out what works for us–and what doesn’t. It’s not an ideal time to start a major project, but it’s an excellent time to tidy up details and tie up loose ends. We might consider recent revelations, what they mean to us, and what to do about them. Mercury heads toward a creative quintile to Neptune, and we’re inclined to discuss or incorporate our dreams and spiritual or romantic needs into our plans. The Moon spends the day in down-to-earth Taurus. A gentle approach makes the most sense today.
