Friday, AUGUST 19

Early into the day, the Last Quarter Moon occurs 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.

The Moon continues its transit of sensual, practical Taurus until 8:07 AM EDT, after which it’s in communicative, adaptable Gemini.

A quincunx between the Sun and Pluto midday suggests adjustments are necessary for us to grow and improve. Until we discover how to make these changes, we can feel a little disgruntled or tense. Fears of loss or jealousy could emerge.

Venus forms a minor square with Neptune, which might seduce us into believing things we want to believe. While glossing over the more realistic points, details, and flaws of circumstances and people might feel good at the moment, it’s best to hold off on making important purchases or relationship decisions until the veil lifts.

The void Moon occurs from 7:06 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Mars), until the Moon enters Gemini at 8:07 AM EDT.
