Thursday, AUGUST 20

The Moon leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius this morning at 4:30 AM EDT. The Sagittarius Moon encourages a direct, spontaneous approach to the world, at least on an emotional level.

The Moon opposes Uranus, which can jar us out of our routine with something unexpected, such as a confrontation, a surprising change of plans, or acting on a whim. It’s best to keep our options open because our plans may not materialize. We might be seeking a loophole or a way out of emotional responsibilities, and we’re not very willing to compromise with this transit at play.

However, the Moon harmonizes with Neptune and Pluto, and we’re determined to expand our worlds while also finding ways to detach and calm ourselves through connecting to our dreams and ideals.

A Sun-Vesta trine helps ground us today. The need to dedicate ourselves to a project or cause is strong now. It can feel terrific to put our faith in someone or something with the Sun-Neptune biquintile this evening. We see the spiritual dimensions or imaginative elements of our pursuits. We’re seeking inspiration.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Sagittarius today at 4:30 AM EDT.
