Wide-open.
Green lights are up today as the Moon in friendly Aquarius flies through calm skies and makes only one connection to another planet, a helpful sextile to upbeat and lucky Jupiter, exact at 1:37 pm PDT.
Here’s the moment to make an important call or to take your number at the DMV. A Full Moon lights up the evening skies—fools and the coyotes will be out tonight.
Keep it safe and sober.
As times change.
Sweet but with a challenging pair of aspects.
The Moon enters broadminded and helpful Aquarius at 8:35 am PDT this morning and sails out into calm waters. Questions and challenges are likely this afternoon and evening as the Moon opposes superficial Mercury at 1:33 pm and then squares jumpy Uranus at 9:47 pm ( yes, this is a double quack as Uranus rules Aquarius where the Moon is currently).
However, you can likely find some way to defuse any bad vibes today as the Sun meets easygoing and agreeable Venus in the heavens at 11:07 pm Tuesday evening. An ability to compromise and an open-minded attitude are in your pocket all day long with Venus headlining the Skywatch - just reach for it.
As times change.
Trust your intuition this morning.
The Moon, in efficient and patient Capricorn sextiles psychic Neptune at 8:59 am PDT and then sails out into quiet waters. You get to experience the planet that rules “the Force” Monday afternoon as Luna meets intense Pluto in the heavens at 3:11 pm.
Pluto heals (Skywalker) or destroys (Darth)—the outcome all depends on how you react to the situations at hand today—the stars impel they don’t compel.
The Moon turns Void of Course a minute later until tomorrow morning. Something familiar and simple fills the bill Monday night.
As times change.
There’s a changing of the guard on Sunday. The good news is that lucky Jupiter ends a four-month Retrograde cycle that began last April 11. Revise your plans for expansion and get ready to set sail.
Green lights are up on Sunday as the Moon in realistic Capricorn trines innovative and friendly Uranus at 10:37 am PDT and then sails out into calm waters for the rest of the day and night.
More changes: Mercury enters fun-loving Leo at 12:45 pm, followed by Uranus turning Retrograde at 7:26 pm. This Rx cycle will last 155 days, often brings unexpected changes to our plans and gives us time to review the changes we have been through over the last six months - all for the good. As times change.
If your birthday is this week (August 11–17)
You’ve got one of the sweetest Solar Returns I’ve seen this year, Leo. Loving Venus sits next to your Sun in this chart of your new year. She gives you an extra blast of charisma and will inspire the artists among you to do some of their finest work. Moreover, lucky Jupiter in home sign Sagittarius sits in a trine to your Sun and Venus! Powerful Mars is also in Leo this year, along with Mercury. That makes three planets and your Sun in Leo - this group has star power and prompts you to get on stage and put your work and face into the spotlight. There is one caution light: Mercury makes a square to contrary Uranus in your new SR. Stick to the truth with this pair and be open to changing your plans when better ideas surface, and they will, Leo. As times change.
Get after it Saturday morning. Clear astrological skies invite your action as the Sag Moon sails out into calm waters.
The kiss of the day will give you some extra energy to finish up your projects as the Moon trines eager Mars at 12:50 pm PDT early Saturday afternoon. Caution lights kick on a minute later as the Moon turns Void of Course until she enters practical Capricorn at 9:50 pm Saturday night.
Likely you’ll get a fresh blast of energy then and find it easy to stay up late.
Saddle up. There’s a sweet line-up of positive markers in the Skywatch today.
Green lights are up for work or play. The Moon in generous Sagittarius meets the sign’s ruler Jupiter at 4:25 pm PDT. This is what I call a double kiss—whenever the ruler of a sign is involved in the planet in the trine. That’s a clumsy explanation, but I think you get it. Jupiter and Sag invite sales folks to make an important call and all of us to gamble on our own talents and ideas.
More good news follows as the Moon trines sociable Venus at 7:19 pm and then trines the Sun at 9:39 pm - both markers suggest a splendid evening for introductions or a blind date.
However, there is a touch of confusion in the sky at 11:12 pm when the Moon squares dreamy Neptune—someone is bound to lose their keys in the excitement of the evening.
Again, there is nothing in the Skywatch today prompting the market sell off….the seeds of which were buried long ago…and begun to sprout when Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 – remember what happened then? Since that year, Saturn has also entered Capricorn, the sign that rules governments, big biz and the structure of our society. Pluto is the transformer who seeks to eliminate poisons and unnecessary elements – he is the purifier. Talk now is of trouble down the road and the astrology suggests there could be big problems ahead as Saturn and Pluto will conjunct and merge energies in January 2020. This sounds like a day of reckoning to astrologers – an event that only occurs once every generation. Suggest you play it very conservatively until we see what this pair brings.
