Tuesday, AUGUST 15

Saturn forms a semi-square to Chiron early today–the second of three perfections, the first of which was in February, and the third and final to come on November 25th.

During this minor challenging longer-term transit, there can be fears of not being competent or effective enough to meet our responsibilities. We could find it hard to strike out on a unique path, again due to fears or insecurities. The desire to break from the status quo is strong, but temporarily, we may not have the necessary confidence to do so.

The Sun’s square to Uranus today can destabilize some parts of our lives or highlight existing problem areas. Changes we make now may feel out of character or abrupt. Disrupted routines and plans are likely, and while they can be unsettling at first, they can also stimulate the adoption of new approaches.

Consider that our strong desire for independence or to break the rules could impair our judgment. Even so, if we’re willing to learn from our mistakes, we might adopt a more mindful approach to making necessary changes.

Nevertheless, it’s wise to watch for irresponsibility in our rebellions and guard against temperamental behavior and decision-making. Disruptions can pull up buried frustrations, which we should probably examine more closely–it can certainly be a time to learn something new about ourselves.

The Moon’s stay in Leo all day is confident and positive. Due to tomorrow morning’s New Moon in the sign, today is better for reflecting and tying up loose ends than for new initiatives.
