Wednesday, AUGUST 6

Mars enters Libra today, where it will transit until September 22nd.

Mars is in its detriment in Libra (Libra opposes Mars-ruled Aries)–it’s not as comfortable in the sign as it is in most other signs and may not function at its best. We may be indirect in our approach and should watch for passive-aggressiveness during this cycle.

However, it’s a good time for actively seeking harmony and balance. We work hard at finding compromises. We can be warriors for peace and justice during the Mars-in-Libra cycle.

It’s an excellent time to develop a strategy and team up to achieve a goal.

The Moon spends the day in Capricorn and opposes Venus and Jupiter, stirring some restlessness. We can be tempted to go overboard to reach our goals. It’s also possible that our efforts to remain cheerful and comfortable lead to missing opportunities to grow, develop, and improve.

There can be a disconnect between our emotions and our sensibilities, and minor disagreements, mainly about sensitivity to feelings, are more likely now. We could feel torn between our duties and personal time.

However, the Capricorn Moon encourages us to set goals and attend to our responsibilities.

The Moon is void from 1:40 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Aquarius the next day, on Thursday, August 7th, at 9:19 PM EDT.
