Thursday, August 21st: The Moon resides in emotional Cancer for the entire day. However, she does turn void-of-course at 2:34 PM, and remains so until Friday afternoon at 3:49 PM, when she enters proud Leo. This is another long void-of-course Moon time frame – over 25 hours this time.

This is definitely a time when you need to take care of your important activities before the Moon goes void-of-course at 2:34 PM. Since the Moon will remain void-of-course until Friday afternoon: and there are no exact aspects for the entire day on Friday, we are sailing without a rudder. This may make these two days, Thursday and Friday, better days for cleaning out files, doing inventory, sitting at the beach, or enjoying an extra long weekend at the lake house. We get back on track on Saturday.

The Moon opposes Pluto, 2:07 AM: If you are asleep, this is a great aspect to allow you to clear emotional garbage out of your life. If you are awake, you’re just taking more time going through the garbage that you are getting rid of.

The Moon trines Mars, 9:48 AM: We are certainly feeling active and energized this morning. So, use this energy to make it a rewarding time to meet new people, make sales calls, or just to take care of some of the items you have backlogged. We are feeling more upbeat!

The Moon squares Uranus,11:55 AM: Use the energy of this transit to “think outside of the box” this late morning. We will not want to stick to strict scheduling or interact with people who have small minds. Give yourself plenty of latitude and maybe even have an early lunch.

Mercury trines Pluto, 2:19 PM: The combination of these two planets enhances our investigative skills, our research ability, and pushes us to know more than just the surface story. These energies are ideal to research financial institutions for long-term investments; to develop a greater sense fluidity amongst coworkers; and, may be the best time − ever − to see your therapist. This aspect is in effect all day, and will help to keep us more serious about our thoughts and intentions.

The Moon trines Saturn, 2:34 PM: This is the last aspect that the Moon will make until Saturday morning at 8:47 AM. Make the most of this day. These are good aspects for working on “have to do” projects; or reconfirming our future plans; or, just doing things that strengthen our connections that create emotional security in our lives.

With this Moon−Saturn last aspect of the day, the Moon is now void-of course until Friday afternoon at 3:49 PM, when she enters Leo.

All times are CDT.

Wednesday, August 20th: The Moon begins the day void-of-course in lively Gemini. However, she enters the sensitive sign of Cancer at 3:45 AM, in the wee hours of the morning.

Since the Moon is no longer void-of-course, but she does not make any aspects until later in the afternoon, we may not be as focused as we would like to be until the Moon makes contact with the other planets.

The Moon trines Neptune, 4:30 PM: During this late afternoon time, although we are now more connected, we are definitely interested in taking a much more laid-back approach to life. And, if you’re trying to work, your work has to be giving you a sense of personal satisfaction and fulfillment, or you will be distracted. This is an enjoyable time to have a glass of iced tea while sitting at the edge of the creek.

The Moon sextiles Mercury, 11:59 PM: If you are up working late, this is an ideal night for writing, planning, organizing, or just sharing your day with someone close.

All times are CDT.

Tuesday, August 19th: The Moon travels through Gemini, the sign of versatility. Although she is in Gemini for the whole day, she does become void-of-course late in the evening at 9:54 PM, and remains so for the rest of the day. Get most of your more important activities done before then.

The Moon sextiles Uranus, 12:42 AM: With this aspect occurring early in the morning, this could keep us awake and keep us a bit more mentally active than we are used to. It’s an excellent time to be on the Internet.

Monday, August 18th: The Moon transits Gemini, the sign represented by the Roman numeral “II” – The symbol for duality. She remains there for the whole day.

Venus conjuncts Jupiter, 12:21 AM: This aspect has been affecting us for the last couple of days and all day today. This planetary combination has the effect of making all of us hungrier for a better life, more money, or even an extra scoop of ice cream. On the positive side, this can give us a much grander view of our own reality and what we can really accomplish. We can seem much kinder and much more generous during this planetary combination, as long as it satisfies our own needs. This can also make us over commit easily, so don’t over-load your dance card.

The Moon squares Mercury, 3:06 AM: If you are awake, this a great time to be doing “rat killing”, running computer scans or cleaning out your desk drawers. Otherwise, the energy of this transit may make it hard to sleep.

The Moon squares Neptune, 6:00 AM: With this aspect, you will want to stay in bed and have a mental health day. We move slowly this morning. This is a beneficial time for yoga or tai chi, or just enjoying a cup of coffee on your patio.

The Moon sextiles Venus, 8:12 AM: These are wonderful energies for meeting with friends or clients. All of us feel much more open; and, much more chatty and comfortable with the people around us.

Mercury opposes Neptune,10:42 PM: Since this aspect has been in effect all day, it is having a strong impact on how we perceive events. This aspect is likely to make all of us a lot more psychically sensitive today. Overall, this energy will make us want to spend more time in solitude, or surrounded by people who are much more like-minded. These energies can inspire some people to paint, to write, or to meditate. Whatever you do, it would be a good idea this evening to make sure that you have some quiet time. This energy could usher in a productive evening for channeling, holding a séance, or doing a past life regression.

All times are CDT.

The Moon opposes Mars, 8:28 AM: Our pace quickens as the morning progresses. We are ready to attack our schedule this morning. We are not especially patient, so watch out for those self-centered narcissistic types that are purposely getting in your way! A workout at the gym, as long as you don’t overdo it, would be a useful way to express this energy.

The Moon opposes Saturn, 5:56 PM: By the late afternoon, and early evening, we have our personal drive and energy under much better control. We are more conservative with our resources and energies this afternoon and evening. We may not feel as social unless there is a “purposeful” reason to go out. And, even then, it may still feel like work. This is a perfect evening for cleaning out your closet, or using it to get organized.

All times are CDT.

Friday, August 15th: The Moon journeys through fiery Aries as our day begins. However, she will become void-of-course in Aries at 10:50 AM, and remain so for a very brief time, until she moves into determined Taurus at 10:58 AM. This is a very short void-of-course Moon.
