Monday, AUGUST 9

The Moon continues its transit of Leo until 10:56 AM EDT, after which the Moon is in Virgo. We’re especially focused on straightening out our lives with a Virgo Moon, but the day’s energies can find us quite distracted. Venus opposes Neptune today, and we can feel a little exasperated or wistful. We may be wrestling with expectations and perceptions. If we’ve been indiscriminate with money, pleasures, and relationships, problems can emerge now. Uncertainty in Venus-ruled areas of life (romance, social life, leisure, and finances) can be prominent. We need to assess those things that have become dysfunctional, and, in the process, we may need to give up on an unrealistic ideal so that we can 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 not clear along these lines.

The void Moon occurs from 8:23 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Virgo at 10:56 AM EDT.
