Weekly August 16th

Monday
The Moon is solidly in Scorpio until 1:34 am EST on Tuesday.  Scorpio Moon is about focus and helps us dive deeply into projects and information.  The Moon is in harmony with Mercury which is nice for private investigators or anyone seeking information.  Getting to the depths and the truth are part of today's agenda.  Skimming the surface will be less than acceptable.  Deep, powerful conversations are in the forecast, and Virgo, Scorpio and Cancer are likely to experience that.  Seek solutions to problems and find the hidden piece of the puzzle.  Jupiter is across from Saturn today stirring up Aries and Libra issues again, including justice and equal division of labor or responsibilities.  Pisces and Virgo might also relate this to money and matters of business partnership.  The blog below on partnership applies so refer there for more on Saturn in Libra.  Scorpio Moon isn't usually simple or carefree but it's a chance to get to the heart and soul of things.  Tonight the Moon and Neptune square and our intuitions are strong and imaginations fired up! The potential for drama is there along with great creativity!  Wear indigo blue.

Tuesday
The Moon is in Sagittarius, the zodiac's philosopher and free spirit! Air feeds fire as planets in Libra and Aries align with the Moon.  Being active, motivated, fair and honest is the idea today.  Saturn and Venus work with the Sag Moon and we explore and maybe alter our ways of thinking.  Bringing things more into harmony and clearing the way for new experiences is possible now!  Freedom comes with responsibility and finding that balance is one of the day's missions.  Tonight Venus, Mars and the Moon encourage good times, balanced relationships, and exploring. Get out of usual routine and open your mind.  Wear purple.

Wednesday
The Moon is in Sagittarius,  sign that like to be on the road, in the wilderness, or anywhere the scenery is different from every day.  But Mercury in Virgo is calling us back to obligations and paperwork and other practical things that need tending to.  Ideally we balance that and take care of business while also making time for fun and exploration.  That can mean exploring ideas too, through a book or conversation.  There's some debate today, most likely about freedom, independence and needing to break free of whatever is holding us down.  It's a good day to buy books or do anything related to higher education including visit campus, apply to a program, or make travel plans.  We are so close to Mercury retrograde now that we should leave room to change our minds about anything and everything!  Tonight create some good times, delve into an interesting topic, or take a ride across city, county or state lines! In other words, do something different!  Wear yellow.

Thursday
The Moon starts out happy and free in Sagittarius, however in the midmorning (EST) the squares kick in and we are very much challenged!  The Capricorn Moon arrives at 10:17 am and before that a Moon/Uranus square shakes things up!  Today is about problem solving, trying to deal with situations productively, and trouble shooting. In some cases this will be big, unplanned for schedule changes and in some cases turbulence in our personal lives.   Capricorn, you need to step up and be a leader or at least forge a path for yourself! Gemini, Aries, and Libra this is very much about the alliances you've formed and getting things into balance and righting any injustices.  Libra, some of that is likely to be taking place at home or with family today.  Aquarius, you may feel like keeping your opinion to yourself for now. Allow yourself some privacy or down time today.  Cancer, home, family and career are all demanding some attention this week!  Tonight is affected by the Moon/Pluto meeting this afternoon.  It's serious and involves a reality check and a practical outlook. Rework something this week.  Make sure it's worth it though.  Wear black.

Friday
The Moon is in Capricorn, Mercury starts a retrograde, the Leo Sun is opposite Neptune, and Venus meets Mars! Suffice to say it's a big day in the zodiac, especially where relationships are concerned.  Libra, Aries, Leo and Aquarius, those with Moon or rising signs also, experience the love, partnerships aspect most directly!  Venus meeting Mars in Libra is great for couples or any romantic encounters, however Mercury retrogrades today as well, so it's best not to start new things!  The more today can be about fun or relaxation, love and good times, the better!  Put business on hold, take the day off, deal with the inevitable changes and technical issues calmly and rationally.   Mercury is about to take us into the land of settling old business.  Relationships and love are so much in the forefront today! Keep things fair and open and don't make any commitments now.  Tonight, have conversations but don't make promises as the Moon is in harmony with Mercury newly retrograde in Virgo. Light and fun is good! Wear blue.

Saturday
Saturn squares Pluto and the Moon is in Capricorn. Today has the potential to bring up problems and difficulties of all kinds. Remember Mercury is now retrograde and keep decisions flexible.  All sorts of issues from relationships to living situations to business agreements come into play.  In some cases it will be very tough to negotiate or settle on anything.  Capricorn, Libra and Virgo may feel the most pressure.  Pisces, you live through that vicariously because of your partner or someone else close.  Communication gets muddled and confused when Mercury is retrograde.  Do what you can to avoid misunderstandings. Watch as skeletons come out of the closet! Protect your privacy.  Scorpio, misunderstandings or gossip is likely to be around you or about you.  Keep today as simple as possible. The Moon moves to Aquarius at 9:37 pm and the evening improves a bit.  Wear turquoise.

Sunday
The Moon is in Aquarius and we're warming up for Tuesday's Pisces Full Moon. There's plenty of potential for fun and time with friends. It might help to detach a bit from any dramatic or unrealistic people or attitudes.  Saturn trines the Moon acting as a reminder to be fair with each other and to stay away from negativity.  Take action toward something you've envisioned and with Mercury retrograde always leave some room to change your mind.  Wear yellow.
