Wednesday, AUGUST 28

Venus opposes Neptune today, which can play with our expectations. We can feel exasperated or wistful, and problems can emerge if we’ve been indiscriminate with money, pleasures, and relationships. Uncertainty in Venus-ruled areas of life (romance, social life, leisure, and finances) can be prominent. We need to assess the things that have become dysfunctional, and, in the process, we may need to give up on an unrealistic ideal to make gains. We are more emotionally vulnerable and more susceptible to deceit or self-deceit.

If possible, it may be best to delay significant decision-making regarding social, financial, and romantic involvements, as things are unclear along these lines.

Mercury stationing today can compound the problem. Mercury turns direct after retrograde motion since August 5th. We’ve been in a good position to reevaluate our routines and habits and have given more thought to the meaning of our creative pursuits, work, or services. Now, Mercury will retrace its steps, completing its transit of Leo on September 9th, when it will enter Virgo once again. Information unclogs.

Over the coming weeks, recent problems with communications and decision-making should improve. The answers we’ve been waiting for can arrive. Further, plans or projects that have stalled might now resume. We can be flooded with energies that are hard to make sense of during the shift today, however, and it’s a better day to take in than to take action. This station can initially magnify problem areas or confusion. It’s also a good idea not to rush conversations or share observations.

The Moon is void from 3:14 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 4:48 AM EDT.
