Monday, August 15th:
Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey through this sign until Tuesday late evening. With this placement, life is an adventure; we're more open to new ideas and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately.
Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body's excess energy.
Monday morning, we are ready to make a courageous move. Follow your instincts as best as you can: you know better than anyone what’s best for you. (Moon conjuncts Jupiter in Aries, exact at 6:59am EDT)
Monday evening has lots of potential for healing around family, the "mother archetype", home, and our past in general. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with and around our ability to be assertive; this allows us to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance, and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations. (Moon conjuncts Chiron in Aries, exact at 9:01pm EDT)
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 12:41am EDT: if you are awake at this time, you may feel the need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, we want to connect on a practical level and share our most precise observations with others — and on the other hand, we feel the need to be independent, move fast, and be actively engaged with life. (Moon in Aries quincunxes Mercury in Virgo, exact at 12:41am EDT)
