Tuesday, AUGUST 5

Retrograde Mercury forms a semi-sextile to Venus this morning, and our words may not reflect what’s in our hearts. As we strive to get the words just right, we risk falling short in terms of sensitivity.

This transit subtly contrasts a logical and playful approach. Still, while we may not be especially focused, we’re adaptable and making an effort to understand one another.

The Moon continues its transit of Sagittarius today until 1:05 PM EDT, when it heads into Capricorn.

The Moon in Capricorn is earthy, practical, and wise. We become more aware of our responsibilities with this Moon, but its squares to Saturn and Neptune indicate some initial resistance to wholeheartedly embracing them. We should be cautious of taking detours from our goals based on wishful or overly negative expectations.

The Moon is void from 11:29 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mars), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 1:05 PM EDT.
