Saturday, AUGUST 26

The Moon continues its transit of spirited Sagittarius until 9:05 AM EDT, after which the Capricorn Moon is practical and earthy. We can be quick to react this morning with the Sagittarius Moon square Mars. This transit stirs our need for action, activity, and challenges, but we may not know how to direct this energy constructively.

Fortunately, the Capricorn Moon harmonizes with Saturn and the Sun, and we are cautious and draw upon common sense when making decisions. We pay special attention to structures, rules, and goals.

However, the Sun and Saturn are heading toward an opposition, exact early tomorrow, and we can experience a reality check related to our work, responsibilities, or the rules in general. Feelings of doubt, pessimism, or guilt may undermine our confidence until we make corrections. Feeling blocked, encountering obstacles to progress, and inhibitions are all possible under this influence.

While there can be a letdown, our efforts to measure up to expectations can ultimately increase confidence in our ability to be responsible for ourselves.

Focusing too much on our feelings may not be very productive right now. This is a time for reevaluating goals, considering the limits of time and energy. It can be a good time to develop real solutions to long-term problems and recognize the meaning behind recent restrictions or limitations.

We might acknowledge the need to adopt a humbler, more mature, and possibly more conservative approach. We might also need to catch up on neglected duties or responsibilities.

The Moon is void from 7:56 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mars), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 9:05 AM EDT.
