Sunday: Mercury direct 12:25 am EDT. But do not rush. Mercury stays at this degree for a bit before appearing to move through Leo again. Certainly you may feel at the crossroads, on the brink of something different and new. Sagittarius Moon for your adventures and educational endeavors. Jupiter, Sagittarius's planet, trine to Neptune in Pisces for flow and malleability. This is a beautiful spiritual awakening aspect, though it can also feel confusing or uncertain as to what exactly is happening. Today's color is Light Blue.

Monday: Sagittarius Moon in harmony with the Leo Sun. The Moon is halfway to Full and many will respond with the need to 'get going'. These two signs combine for optimism, excitement and the bright side or anticipation of such things. Void Moon 7:47 pm EDT. Today's color is Red.

Tuesday: At the stroke of midnight the Moon moves to Capricorn. With Mercury direct and this industrious Moon sign meeting Saturn, the natural ruling planet of Capricorn, the tendency is to get very focused and intentional with important matters. A huge reality check day and time to pack up, order or shop for supplies and possibly even commit to something that's been pending. Keep the word intentional in mind so you do nothing haphazardly. Today's color is Black.

Wednesday: Capricorn Moon aspects 4 planets including Pluto, the planet of subconscious, shadow, and undercurrent. Sit quietly with your decisions and plans. Listen to the deep and knowing inner self. Wisdom. The Sun sits at the threshold of Virgo, the 3rd sign of summer. Today's color is Green, like pine trees.

Thursday: We often say Fall is coming now, but truly it's the third and final phase of summer when the Sun shifts to Virgo at 12:09 am EDT. Virgo time does mean a change in routines and the sun setting noticeably earlier. It's a good time to let go of or improve health habits, get back to physical workouts or change them up, add veggies to your plate, and organize for productivity related to home, work or school. Capricorn Moon is void of course from 10:19 am to 12:56 pm and in conjunction with Mars retro so frustration may crop up. Also though, you may get the go ahead on something that's been in the works and lagging the past couple of months. Aquarius Moon squares Uranus in Taurus. Be patient with the roadblocks and look for alternate ways rather than forcing things to go one way. Today's color is Blue.

Friday: Aquarius Moon opposes Mercury direct in Leo. This is reminiscent of our Aquarius and Leo eclipses 2 and 4 weeks ago approximately. Vibes of change, with news and announcements coming as we follow our hearts and align with our tribes.  The Full Moon of Pisces approaches. Today's color is Turquoise.

Saturday: Void Moon begins at 12:39 am EDT and lasts all day (though on the west coast you'll have a bit of Pisces Moon time tonight). With void Moon, perhaps let a decision wait and allow for extra time to get where you're going. There may be confusion or delays or changes unforeseen. Flexibility keeps frustration at bay. Moon aligns with Venus in Libra, and the Sun is in harmony with Pluto and Uranus, all in the earth signs. This creates a positive vibe, a willingness to help out or deal with personal things, and also some wonderful excitement about the changes and activity of this Full Moon time. Today's color is White.

(Here's a little bonus so you're ready for Full Moon in advance!)

Sunday: Pisces Moon 1:32 am EDT through midday on Tuesday.  Full Moon peaks at 7:56 am EDT. Pluto and Saturn are in harmony with the Full Moon and matters of extreme importance arise to be processed or to take action on. Though the Moon is in Pisces, a water sign, there is nothing wishy washy about the Full Moon engaged with the powerful inner force of Pluto and the external, constructive and 'grown up' themes that Saturn represents. It is time for a full realization and acknowledgement and all of the feelings that accompany this. Venus squares Pluto and we must transform and experience necessary awakenings, particularly in relationships that may be ending, switching to long distance, or where one partner announces readiness for commitment of a different kind. This is an emotional, spiritual, and creative Full Moon and the inner processes will result in external life changes. Eclipse effects continue to develop into September and our New Moon in 2 weeks. Today's color is White. (Yes, double white this week.)

Come to Yoga Under the Stars, Full Moon practice at the Sunshine Factory Monday evening 6 pm. Acupuncture and cupping also available that evening.
