All times in EDT
SUNDAY August 10: The Moon sextiles Uranus (11:31 am) and squares Saturn (12:31 pm) before it reaches full. This is a rough approach, as it highlights limitations, tests, and the struggle for tenacity in overcoming obstacles. The Full Moon at 18 Aquarius occurs at 2:09 pm, followed by Moon opposition Mercury (6:12 pm). The Moon goes void-of-course. There are extensive discussions about things that need to be restructured, adjusted for the welfare of all, and ideas for doing these things in a manner that is acceptable and follows official protocols. Saturn/Aquarius relates to groups and associations and the way these are organized to promote participation. Groups gain strength and momentum under this full moon, but commitment to goals is tested.
Mercury sextiles the North Node: matters cooking in the crock-pot of group consciousness during August will fully manifest during October’s total lunar eclipse (10-8). People must grab opportunities to exchange ideas and information, and to generate support for very specific mandates.
MONDAY August 11: The Moon enters Pisces at 8:55 am. Yesterday’s ideas disperse through the Piscean social waters. Juno trines Ceres, a sign of unification around a focused purpose. Groups that support the health of the Earth and sustainable agricultural practices gain substantial attention as they have a platform for their agenda. Mercury quintiles Vesta, making certain individuals focal spokespeople for current topics. The Moon conjuncts Neptune (7:26 pm) and trines Mars (11:51 pm). Moon-Mars gives impetus to issues that transcend political boundaries and promote unified efforts across different groups. Individuals are pushed toward decisions for the greater good.
TUESDAY August 12: Venus enters Leo at 3:24 am. The Sun and Mercury contra-parallel Saturn, highlighting the tension between Leo and Scorpio. These powerful fixed signs symbolize tenacious conflicts. The battle lines are clear in collective issues. Mercury continues to emphasize spokespeople who state dynamic positions on issues. Venus sextiles Pallas Athena, which empowers women and women’s groups. Single women are becoming a powerful political bloc. Their concerns center on economic stability, equal opportunity, and access to health care. The Sun quintiles Ceres, shining attention on people who follow sustainable agriculture and farming practices. These people are regarded as heroic. The Moon trines Saturn at 12:01 pm and goes void-of-course. Saturn is intrinsically connected with agriculture, although that facet of the god/planet has not been of too much concern for the past 100 years. Still, it is one of Saturn’s most significant jobs. Methods of producing food and its quality are big news topics.
WEDNESDAY August 13: The Moon enters Aries at 9:00 am. There’s a burst of dynamic, fiery inspiration today. The Sun sextiles the North Node. Once again, this shines light on issues that will peak in October. The Moon trines Venus (11:43 am) and trines Jupiter (7:27 pm). This is a fun-filled aspect pattern. People are in a good mood, enjoy humor and laughter, and are open to inspiration and exciting visions of the future. Moon-Venus-Jupiter is romantic, loving, and fertile. Lots of seeds can be spread under this wonderful combination: seeds for ideas and possibilities, seeds for living creatures, births, and education/travel. Embrace expansion and growth!
THURSDAY August 14: The Aries Moon is conjunct Uranus as 12:14 pm. Fast-changing situations stir up all sorts of questions that demand outside-the-box answers. New modes of thinking are pervasive. This conjunction begins to set precedents that will be in full flower at the total lunar eclipse on October 8, which is also conjunct Uranus. Jupiter’s ingress to Leo highlights all the futuristic thinking Uranus has been doing in Aries since it entered the sign in March, 2011. Jupiter generates opportunities for Uranus to show his stuff. After four years of Uranus-Pluto squares, Uranian energy finally has a platform of expression through Jupiter in Leo. This will culminate in the October eclipse cycle. The Moon trines the Sun at 10:23 pm: people feel good about progress that’s being made in their lives.
FRIDAY August 15: The Aries Moon trines Mercury at 11:50 am, goes void-of-course for a whole eight minutes, and enters Taurus at 11:58 am. Mercury enters Virgo at 12:44 pm. There’s a noticeable change of atmosphere around the lunch hour. Today’s powerful aspects include Jupiter inconjunct Neptune and Mars sextile Pluto. Jupiter in Leo focuses on truth and honesty, something that Neptune’s had a big problem with for several years. Neptune’s smoke screens and deceptions can’t stand up to Jupiter’s brilliance. Mars-Pluto indicates a great deal of focused energy and action. Matters can move very swiftly today, especially after the Moon and Mercury change signs mid-day. Mercury quintiles Mars, giving a laser-like quality to thoughts and actions. The Moon squares Venus (7:57 pm) and sextiles Neptune (11:35 pm). Although people like informality, sometimes protocols and formality is necessary to the proper flow of human organization. People in positions of power have to be properly addressed. Visitors to dignitaries shouldn’t wear t-shirts and flip-flops. There can be generational clashes over these kinds of issues today.
SATURDAY August 16: Vesta trines Neptune, pushing forward superficially likable women as spokespeople (hand-maidens) for the corporate-controlled media. Ceres is parallel the Nodes, which tips things back toward sustainable Earth practices in agriculture and energy. The Taurus Moon trines Pluto (8:11 am) and opposes Mars (9:28 am). The morning hours are dynamic and driven. Some are accident-prone, though. Pace activities to avoid injuries. The Moon opposes Saturn at 6:56 pm. The consumption of tainted food and water (Taurus-Scorpio) gives cause for concern. There’s also a focus on communicable diseases. Others will tend to pick up on tomorrow’s Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Leo. It generates a huge field of love and romance, strong desires, reproductive urges, and a longing for truth and beauty. After 7:00 pm, the evening hours gain the pervasive effect of the lusty Taurus Moon and her approaching contacts to Venus-Jupiter in Leo. Desires and urges are tough to resist. This is fabulous for lovers, but people on diets may struggle to maintain their discipline.
