Thursday, AUGUST 15

Despite the challenges, today offers opportunities for growth and learning. Retrograde Mercury’s quincunx with Neptune may bring some mental disorganization, but the Sun’s trine to Chiron encourages a holistic approach to problem-solving. This can lead to learning, growth, and improvement, particularly through creativity, self-assertion, and courage.

By being less concerned about who’s right or wrong, we can be more open to learning and growing. Our egos don’t get in the way, which helps us make real progress. We’re putting our respect in the right places, and the chance to find a sense of purpose or a “mission” can arise now, increasing our confidence.

As the day progresses, we approach a Mars-Saturn square, exact very early tomorrow, and energies shift considerably. Ambitions and accomplishments are firmly on our minds, but there may be obstacles to surmount. We could feel blocked from asserting ourselves or pursuing our desires.

It’s a time to slow down and make adjustments and edits, as we may encounter resistance if we push ahead. It can seem like more effort than usual is required to complete tasks.

We might deal with disapproval or a dip in confidence, and we should draw on patience and aim to develop our endurance. It’s a better time for maintenance than it is for moving forward. Recognizing our limits and adjusting our speed accordingly is key.

The Moon is void from 12:53 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mercury), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 1:52 PM EDT.
