Thursday, AUGUST 26

Venus opposes Chiron this morning, and there can be disappointments as we focus on the differences and weaknesses rather than the strong points in our interactions. Temporarily, we can be less confident about our relationships, social life, worth, money, or social skills. We are more aware and possibly resentful of imbalances in our relationships and insecure about whether our affections are reciprocated.

While this transit can point to a tendency to doubt ourselves, a Mercury-Pluto trine is also in play, helping us discern matters and focus our minds. The potential is with us for profound insight, psychological understanding, awareness, and focused attention. We seek the hidden message and readily draw upon our powers of persuasion. Dealing with doubt and guilt today can help clear the path for opportunities. It’s a good time to devise strategies and make observations. We are exceptionally skilled at solving problems and getting to the bottom line. The Moon spends the day in active, decisive Aries.

The void Moon occurs from 5:14 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Taurus the next day, Friday, August 27th, at 12:27 AM EDT.
