Wednesday, AUGUST 26

The Sun forms a quincunx with Pluto and Neptune today, forming a yod. Mercury is moving toward the same aspects, exact early tomorrow, as the Sun and Mercury head toward alignment.

We can feel restless, seeking answers, but we can also be quite indecisive. There can be a wavering of confidence, and it’s all too easy to be in stalemate situations. It’s possible that we face a dilemma or a choice that isn’t straightforward. It can be a time when we waver, unable to reach a wholly satisfying decision or conclusion, making it better to reserve judgment. Minor health issues could be the result of neglect or excess.

With these transits, we might feel that people are draining our energy, especially if it’s unclear what they want from us. We can feel slightly off or out of sorts, and concentrating or figuring out our next step can be difficult. These things are more likely if we’ve neglected our spiritual needs, and it makes sense to slow down and adjust.

Events or circumstances can leave us feeling that we must choose between being realistic and determined or intuitive and receptive. We can feel torn between two drives and see-saw between alternatives. Concentrating and figuring out our next step can be difficult.

There may be a power shift or a setback that has us feeling temporarily out of sorts. It’s a good idea to examine whether we need to let something go to further our psychological growth.

It also makes sense to slow down and adjust. Incorporating and recognizing the need for more imagination in our lives is necessary now, and being more introspective and thoughtful is wise.

Until we discover how to make the necessary changes and adjustments, we can feel a bit disgruntled or tense.

The Moon is void from 5:59 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Venus), until the Moon enters Pisces the next day, Thursday, August 27th, at 3:04 PM EDT.
