Tuesday, AUGUST 8

This morning, the Last Quarter Moon occurs as the Sun in Leo forms a square with the Moon in Taurus. The Last Quarter Moon phase points to a crisis of consciousness. We’re ready to sort out what works for us–and what doesn’t. It’s not an ideal time to start a major project but an excellent time to tidy up details and tie up loose ends. We might consider recent revelations, what they mean to us, and what to do about them.

The Moon continues its transit of sensual, practical Taurus all day, offering us down-to-earth energy.

As the day advances, a Mercury-Pluto minor challenge comes into play, which can complicate communications. Mental tension is possible now, ideally motivating us to handle problem areas. We can have a slightly suspicious way of looking at how things work. If others are not agreeing or adopting our ideas, we may take this as a personal affront.

Instead of getting directly where we want to go, we could take a roundabout route and manipulate others. Some irritability is likely as we sort things out.
