Wednesday, AUGUST 9

Retrograde Venus forms a square to Uranus this morning, and tensions rise, likely due to old or long-standing issues. We can feel torn between wanting closeness and freedom. Some instability, restlessness, and rebelliousness are possible themes in our relationships. We might feel some discontent with our current pleasures or pastimes, but taming restlessness and avoiding abrupt moves may be best while considering our needs for growth and a change of pace. Ideally, discomfort with the status quo can lead to highly creative workarounds and improvements.

As the day advances, a Mercury-Jupiter trine in play boosts our confidence and faith. Through conversations or musings, a positive outlook or hopefulness can emerge. We have more trust in the future, we seek a little extra meaning to our projects and experiences, and we can benefit from big-picture thinking. Our ideas are grand, our intentions noble, and we have a greater interest in learning and sharing the truth. We might receive good news or offers now. Curiosity grows.

The Moon is void from 6:39 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Pluto), until the Moon enters Gemini at 9:06 AM EDT.
