Tuesday, AUGUST 9

Mercury forms a quincunx and Mars a semi-square to Jupiter today, and our estimates can be off. We might waver, unable to reach a wholly satisfying decision or conclusion, making it better to reserve judgment. It’s too easy to overestimate our abilities or underestimate the situation, or we might see-saw between alternatives. Whatever the case, it may be best to avoid jumping into something without planning, as necessary details are too easy to overlook at the moment.

The competitive feelings we might experience now can be stimulating and invigorating, but we may not get the timing or estimation of our capabilities right. It’s best to wait out sudden urges since they may not hold weight over time and make it a goal to manage disorganization. Helping with this is the Moon in Capricorn (all day). This transit favors order and structure.
