Wednesday, AUGUST 25

The Moon spends the day in Aries, and we approach the world more assertively. We want to take action or start something new. With the Moon in Aries, our independence is more important to us.

With Mercury in a minor challenging aspect to Saturn today, we should watch for hypersensitivity, negative thinking, and unhelpful criticism. It’s a somewhat beneficial influence for doing editing work and identifying flaws or fixing problems, however.

Adding a layer of restlessness to the day’s astrology is a Venus-Jupiter minor square. We seek a little more from our pleasures, money, or relationships. Channeled well, this transit can encourage us to improve our situation, but otherwise might lead to over-indulgence, immoderation, or exaggeration. High expectations can leave us vulnerable to ups and downs. It can be tempting to overreach if we’re not in touch with our feelings or are discontented. This influence can serve to exaggerate our feelings, wants, and perceived needs. It’s best to manage impulsiveness and hastiness.
