Tuesday, AUGUST 26

The Moon spends the day in gracious Libra. Libra’s ruler, Venus, is busy today, forming a sextile with Uranus and a trine to Neptune, and we’re open to alternative ways of relating, loving, and enjoying ourselves. We’re receptive to different or unusual experiences but also averse to any form of conformity or formality in our interactions, preferring our freedom to follow our intuition.

These influences encourage us to let go so we can move on. Especially with romantic involvements, entertainment or pleasures, and financial undertakings, we’re more inclined to improvise and experiment. We could discover innovative ways to make (or spend) money.

We’re finding beauty in the unfamiliar or uncommon, and we prefer to cooperate, not compete. Seeing the best in people takes the pressure off in personal relationships. We prioritize spiritual and emotional concerns over material ones at this time and won’t step over others to achieve our goals.

However, as the day advances, we head toward a Venus-Pluto opposition that’s exact early tomorrow.

With this tense transit, we’re confronting areas of our lives where we might be holding onto something too tightly for fear of losing it. Confrontations or events can bring complicated feelings and fears to a head.

We may make uncomfortable discoveries now, and while some of these can ultimately help us, we may be pushing too far for answers. It’s best to watch for manipulative behavior arising from insecurities or fear of betrayal.

The Moon is void from 10:07 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mercury), until the Moon enters Scorpio the next day, Wednesday, August 27th, at 9:27 PM EDT.
