Friday, AUGUST 5

The Moon spends the day in Scorpio, and the First Quarter Moon occurs later morning. We’re inclined to scope out the hidden layers of any given situation with this transit. We can feel some pressure to reach our goals, and obstacles encountered now can motivate us into action.

A Venus-Saturn quincunx occurs midday, and we could feel torn between different desires, situations, or viewpoints. Or, the dilemma could be between pleasure and responsibility, and perhaps not able to fully appreciate or deal with either.

We could also feel pulled out of our routine later today, perhaps through a confrontation, unexpected change of plans, or a strong whim.
