Saturday, SEPTEMBER 3

The Moon spends the day in Sagittarius, and this afternoon, the First Quarter Moon occurs when the Sagittarius Moon forms a square to the Virgo Sun. Our initiative is strong, although it tends to come from conflict or tension. It can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also great energy, motivation, and growth. We may be feeling especially ambitious and competitive. However, we may not know where to go with these feelings.

Today’s Moon-Mars opposition is combative, and the Sun-Pluto sesquiquadrate is defensive. This minor Sun transit can aggravate fears and feelings of being powerless or overlooked. Buried emotions and motives can surface now. We might crave a sense of control over events, relationships, and circumstances, becoming frustrated at any sign that we don’t have it.

A tendency to want to control our lives through some form of manipulation is persistent with this aspect. However, it’s best to rise above this pressure.
