Peak of Summer: August 9th-15th, 2020

 Sunday: The Sun was at it's highest point just a day or so ago. Light begins to wane little by little now on the way to Autumn Equinox. Though it's more than a month away, it's a noticeable shift. Aries Moon activates the atmosphere today. The Moon meets Mars which can agitate or motivate. Pluto and Saturn both retrograde in Capricorn are square to the Moon and bring up questions of who's in charge. Leadership is in question. The retrogrades may help point out what's needed in order to go forward as a society, system, workplace or even personally. From 3:50 pm to 9:28 pm EDT, the Moon is void of course. It may not be the most relaxing void Moon. Inner conflict around things like classes and schools starting (or not), and work, authority or career matters result from the Saturn square. Make sure your energy is well placed, not a waste of time. Taurus Moon approaches a sextile to Venus in Cancer tonight, which helps moods and relationships. Wear Pink.

Monday: Taurus Moon in harmony with Venus at 2:23 am EDT will bring romance or family harmony for some. This Taurus Moon time also challenges us with unpredicted changes or last minute announcements. Mercury in Leo squares both Uranus and the Moon. This is likely to shake things up and require significant changes of plans. Some will feel inflexible, but trying to hold on or control is not going to help. Awaken to what must be done. Pause before acting even when things are evolving quickly. Wear Brown.

Tuesday: Taurus Moon in harmony with Jupiter retro in Capricorn and square to the Sun in Leo. Is your heart in what you're doing or about to do? Today offers opportunity to see if you can get your heart in the 'right' place. If you're acting without love or courage, ask yourself why. Why are you settling or fiercely trying to fit or form to something that doesn't actually fit? Make financial considerations too. Decide or consider what will tide you over, maybe through fall season. I say fall because Taurus Full Moon comes during Scorpio time and some of what you know or feel this week will likely be magnified then. Maybe it's not time for that major decision even if you already acted on it. Can you defer or reevaluate? Finish long term projects or meet an over due date today. Get strong with your energy and real with your actions. Sensible is a good word for today. Taurus Moon also aligns with Neptune and Pluto for inner reflection and imaginative solutions. Wear Blue.

Wednesday: Taurus Moon makes one final aspect before shifting. The Moon and Saturn in Capricorn align. Saturn is retrograde for part of every year. One effect is the process of maturing and growing in wisdom, but through struggle or delay. From 3:55 am EDT to 9:46 am, the Moon is void of course. Be patient then. Better timing for communication, a meeting or interview or even travel, comes after 9:46 am. There is no major planetary aspect or void Moon for the rest of the day. Gemini Moon brings a  journey of the mind or on the road. Writing, storytelling, and negotiating are  favored. Today's color is Yellow.

Thursday: Mars and Pluto square overnight into morning. This aspect isn't very pleasant, and often involves control and power issues, sometimes even violence though the violence may be in the mind, internal such as unkindness to ones self. Try to be overly gentle and easy on yourself and others today. Don't spend too much time with the news. Create with your overabundance of emotional energy, if you experience that. It looks like a good day to unplug and take a hike or plant yourself on a beach. It is a good day for simple socializing as the Moon and Mercury align in Gemini and Leo. If internal struggle is too much, reach out for guidance, love, and comfort. Wear Gold.

Friday: Gemini Moon and Leo Sun are speaking the same language. It feels more optimistic and open. Mars has a very different influence, in harmony with the Moon as well. Whether you're doing business or vacationing, taking a day off, or dealing with people you love, today seems easier and more productive. Void Moon 7:19 am to 7:35 pm EDT. Read a great book or spend time with friends, if possible. Cancer Moon is home and family oriented tonight. Have an evening bath or swim under this water sign Moon. Feel cleansed. Tears can cleanse too, so if you need it, after this week or these months, have that cry. Watch a sentimental film or listen to and sing some old favorite songs. Today's color is Light Blue.

Saturday: Uranus retrograde begins, in Taurus. This planet was retrograde for the same period of months last year, August into January. This retrograde will end on January 18th. Covid 19 appeared during Uranus retrograde even though many of us didn't really realize until March. Uranus brings events we often cannot predict or would not have known. It basically UnEarths while in Taurus. If this year seems to contain themes of last year late summer into winter, do not be surprised. Cancer Moon meets Venus for sweetness, romance and easier family relationships today. The Moon aligns with Uranus and I will not try and predict this-just know that they are in harmony so things will roll as they roll, perhaps with not much we can do to change them. This could be a great or an undesirable surprise, and it's likely to be emotional. A cathartic release will come for some. Today's color is Lavender.
