Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 6:36am EDT. At 3:46am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 3 hours, until 6:36am EDT. If you are awake at this intuitive time, use it to remain open and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you'll remain able to empower yourself and others.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don't start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.
Monday at 6:36am EDT, the Moon enters fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness ...
So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them and how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
If there are no "outer children" around, how about getting in touch with your "inner child" -- it's definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun that you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?
Monday late morning, a harmonious Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact again at 10:55am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday (August 9th) on; it will remain strong until Friday evening (August 18th). This heightens compassion and understanding and helps heal some wounds from the past. We also get a chance to engage in a humorous way about our own flaws and insecurities.
Ask yourself: What if I decided to take a more innocent approach to my healing process? What if I celebrated my flaws, idiosyncrasies, and insecurities?
What if personal limitations were my main drivers for creative approaches and expressing myself with more care and compassion? How open can I be to being "courageously myself", complete with all my sensitivities and insecurities?
We are more willing to be open and courageous, trusting that the other person has our best interest at heart; we also more easily see beauty in human weaknesses rather than fault -- it's a strong time for seeing potential in one another. What potential do you see?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius? If so, you are more blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).
