Monday, AUGUST 18

Mercury formed a sextile with Mars on the 14th, and this aspect perfects again very early today, closing a window of cleverness, enthusiasm, and clarity. The Moon continues its transit of quick-witted Gemini until 3:06 PM EDT.

It can feel terrific to put our faith in someone or something with today’s Sun-Neptune biquintile. We see the spiritual dimensions or imaginative elements of our pursuits. We’re seeking inspiration.

The Moon heads into the sign of Cancer at 3:06 PM EDT, and forms squares to Saturn and Neptune, which can feel restrictive. It’s hard to tame our expectations without going in the opposite direction, veering into negativity.

However, the Cancer Moon is warm, comfortable, and protective, and we benefit from these traits as the day advances. We seek familiar faces and spaces, and we crave a sense of belonging.

The Moon is void from 7:53 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to the Sun), until the Moon enters Cancer at 3:06 PM EDT.
