From August 10th to the 16th we try many new things but ultimately are led by the logic of experience back to very basic insights. Romance is around but learning a new appreciation for ourselves is the way to improve our relationships.
10th – Monday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Uranus, Mars Contra-parallel Pluto – Other people matter and we may see something that others miss. What to do? It is not a good time to argue or enter into a power struggle. Reduce inner conflict first then treat others with respect.
11th – Tuesday – Jupiter enters Virgo – Paying attention to details is the order of the day. We are happiest if we can approach others with kindness and build on the goodness we have already established.
12th – Wednesday – Mercury Opposite Neptune, Mercury Contra-parallel Neptune – Practical matters and logical reasoning are at odds with ideals and values. Even though external forces and other people seem to be at play, the truly observant person will recognize that there are two aspects of our own nature that are lacking harmony. Meditation helps.
13th – Thursday – Sun Trine Uranus, Saturn Semi-square Pluto – The urge to innovate is overwhelming. At the same time, traditional structures are being challenged. Are we part of the problem or part of the solution?
14th – Friday – The New Moon comes at 10:54 AM EDT on the 21 degree of Leo – Even though there is a residual restrain on our momentum, the easiest and best way forward is with an open heart. Set intentions for the coming month and be willing to try something new.
15th – Saturday – Sun Conjunct Venus, Mercury Trine Pluto – This is a practical and problem solving day. It’s best to focus on the things that we can pour our heart into. A soft glow covers most personal interactions.
16th – Sunday – Mercury Parallel Venus – Finding the right words to help another is the best use of the analytic atmosphere of the moment. Fighting is a waste of time and energy; harmony comes through careful self inspection.
