Today’s Astrology Horoscope (for all signs)

Saturday night. As the Moon enters Aquarius, the cloud lifts, the future seems bright, your friends are ready to have fun. The atmosphere is supportive and positive. And tomorrow, the good feelings just keep growing and energizing.

Friday. Mercury stations Retrograde. Venus conjuncts Mars. Even the best, most practical and constructive new ideas can take additional time and information to actualize. While affections can grow… It is possible for money to accompany passion.

Friday’s Venus-Mars conjunction just got its own post, click here for new info on Venus-Mars today!

Venus-Mars gets more interesting (which is why it got its own post) as they both changes signs in September and enter Scorpio. At that point, they move from Venus-ruled Libra into Mars-ruled Scorpio. What goes around, comes around, and this is a good time to see things from different sides without having to go very far.

Mercury Retrograde stations can be confusing, the change of direction can make your mind spin as the pace can change rapidly. Along with Mercury Rx, the Sun is opposing Neptune. Things may not seem quite as clear as they seemed. Words and messages can be taken differently than intended. Is there a communication breakdown– or– perhaps our imaginations are reminding us to check in with our inner spiritual Self.

Thursday. The day before the storm. I’d say the calm, but it’s the frantic before the storm. Friday, Mercury stations Retrograde, Venus and Mars conjunct, and Saturn and Pluto square. The problem is, we value frantic — even more than calm inner peace. We think we are making progress when we have lots to do. We’re simply too busy to even look at what our inner self is trying to tell us. When our entire focus is on the ego, or what’s outside, we run right into difficulties. But our culture has a solution– blame whoever or whatever force “got in our way.” Just as long as we don’t look into our inner self. And without doing that, we give up our essential right to be ourselves– and allow ourselves to get even more frantic. And that what makes the “corrections” of retrogrades so hard on us. We feel that we should have whatever we want and put as much energy into our agenda as possible, yet, we don’t live on this planet alone and sometimes we all need to slow down and chill out. The day before Mercury Rx is usually not that day!

This week started with a First Quarter Moon in Scorpio [23 Scorpio 47].

The Moon in Scorpio squares the Sun in Leo. This also places the Moon at the focal point of a Fixed T-Square, as the Moon squares both Sun and Neptune (as Sun approaches opposition to Neptune).

Will suspicions be revealed or will revelations be suspicious?!

Here’s the chart:

The First Quarter Moon squares the Sun and opposes Neptune, putting the Moon at the Sun/Neptune midpoint. Here’s the Daily Moon description of this aspect:

“Moon opposite Sun/Neptune. This is a time for dreaming, for healing and for helping those less fortunate than you. Your instincts can carry you up to your highest ideals, filling you with inspiration and showing those around you how magical life can be.”

This Quarter Moon can reveal (privately) just how personally you take things and how much that effects how well you treat yourself and others. Hidden agendas can come to a breaking point as emotions intensify, regardless of how much you think you have it under control. (Secret) demands can have deep roots that may not be easy to notice, or change. Negative beliefs and feelings can be held onto tightly and shared psychically, thinking it’s going undetected. When you realize that holding tightly to resentment and other negative emotions keep you in a tense pattern that holds you back, you can more easily release your most resistant, persistent, deep-rooted negative feelings, without a dramatic outburst. If you can use your ability to focus your emotions to maintain self-control and hold onto your inner dignity– regardless of the (subliminal) hecklers, you can be the power-star that you truly are.
