Monday, AUGUST 22

The Moon continues its transit of warm Cancer all day, and we seek comfort and safety. However, with today’s aspects, we’re willing to explore new territory.

A Venus-Mars quintile is excellent for seeing relating patterns and using them positively to encourage creativity and excitement.

Further, Mercury’s trine to Pluto suggests an opportunity to gain a mental advantage. Our mental faculties are attuned to otherworldly impressions, offering us increased insight, psychological understanding and awareness, and focused attention. We are drawn to looking for truths and to unexplored topics and ideas. We seek the hidden message and readily draw upon our powers of persuasion.

It’s a good time to devise strategies and make observations. We are exceptionally skilled at solving problems and getting to the bottom line.

Tonight, the Sun enters Virgo and will stay in the sign until September 22nd. Our focus shifts to the puzzle pieces–the details of our lives. It’s now time to take care of practical concerns. Attending to the details of daily living can free us from the unnecessary stress that results from “collecting” odds and ends of unfinished business.

It’s an ideal cycle to get organized, do detail work, and improve connections and communications on the job. Rediscovering the joy of our work, services, chores, and routines can be in focus in the month ahead.
