Sunday, AUGUST 23

The Moon continues its transit of Libra until it enters Scorpio at 6:16 AM EDT. The Scorpio Moon scopes out the hidden layers of matters and adds intensity to our feelings or approach. We can become wound up rather easily with Mercury in a minor challenging aspect to Pluto today. Mental tension is possible now, ideally motivating us to handle problem areas. We can have a slightly suspicious way of looking at the way things work. If others are not agreeing or adopting our ideas, we may take this as a personal affront. Instead of getting where we want to go directly, we could take a roundabout route and manipulate others. This combination can lead to creative and intense thinking, but also some impatience with shallow or slow thinking in others. There can be tension and pressure experienced now, as well as some irritability.

The void Moon occurs from 12:20 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Saturn), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 6:16 AM EDT.
