Tuesday, AUGUST 20

While we have some highly creative problem-solving energy with us today, a Venus-Saturn sesquiquadrate suggests some reservations. We may be a little more guarded with our feelings or worried about our money under this influence. We’re not feeling especially natural, and our social confidence can decrease now. We might be seeing the less flattering side of people or relationships. Small obstacles or hurdles require patience. This is a better influence for working with details and ironing out problems than it is for bigger decision-making or planning. However, as the day advances, a Mercury-Jupiter trine comes into influence, opening our minds. The Moon spends the day in the sign of Aries, supporting the Leo Sun and also helping to boost confidence and enthusiasm.
