Thursday, AUGUST 22

The Sun exits Leo, enters Virgo today, and stays 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 detailed work, and improve connections and communications on the job. Rediscovering the joy of our work, services, chores, and routines can be our focus in the month ahead.

The Sun forms a quincunx to Pluto today, signaling that adjustments are necessary for us to grow and improve. Until we discover how to make these changes, we can feel a bit disgruntled or tense. This transit can trigger jealousy and fears of loss. There may be a power shift or a setback that has us feeling temporarily out of sorts or powerless. It’s a good idea to examine whether we need to let something go to further our psychological growth.

Venus forms a square to Mars tonight, and competitive energy is with us. We can feel some tension or dissatisfaction. This transit awakens different urges and desires, but they may only be whims or distractions. Disagreements are possible as differences and contrasts stand out more than usual.

A passive or soft approach may irritate, but an aggressive approach can be grating, too–we seem to have poor timing. We can be temperamental and sensitive. What we value and what we desire can be at odds. Ideally, discontent prompts creative improvements and changes.

However, it’s best to be wary of making impulse purchases and relationship decisions under these conditions.
