Thursday, SEPTEMBER 3

Mercury forms a trine to Saturn very early today, helping us ground and center our thoughts and communications. Conversations may be spare but instructive. It’s a good time for systematic thinking and a step-by-step approach to tasks and problems. The Moon continues its transit of Pisces until 4:23 PM EDT when it moves into Aries. While the Pisces Moon is compassionate and meandering, the Moon in Aries demands more definition or action. We want to start fresh.

A Venus-Mars square, exact tomorrow morning, comes into play today, and we can feel some tension or dissatisfaction. This transit can awaken many urges and desires, but most may only be whims or distractions. Disagreements are possible with differences and contrasts standing out more than usual. A passive or soft approach may irritate, but an aggressive approach can be grating, too–we seem to have poor timing. We can be temperamental and sensitive. What we value and what we desire can be at odds. Ideally, discontent prompts creative improvements and changes.

The void Moon occurs from 10:35 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Venus), until the Moon enters Aries at 4:23 PM EDT.
