Friday, AUGUST 11

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 6:53 PM EDT, and we enjoy playing with ideas and making plans. We might crave more interconnectivity, but we seek familiarity after the Moon’s move into Cancer at 6:53 PM. With the Cancer Moon, we more readily get in touch with our emotional needs.

Mars forms a quincunx to Chiron today, and we could be doubting the effectiveness of our assertions or efforts to go after what we want, which can lead to passive-aggressive behavior, defensiveness, or frustration. We can find it challenging to be both assertive and sensitive now, possibly see-sawing between one and the other. It can be difficult to assert ourselves effectively without provoking, annoying, or concerning others. The trick is to combine both sensitivity and directness instead of narrowing our choices to either/or.

The Moon is void from 1:28 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 6:53 PM EDT.
