Astro Daily: August 11, 2020

Another Moon in Taurus day, another day to focus on our material lives. How do we gather what we need to feel safe and secure? With Venus in Cancer, we’re gathering things for the home, making a nostalgic mean, or getting cozy.

This seems a bit in contrast to the things happening simultaneously this week. As I mentioned in yesterday’s update as well as on my weekly astrology video, Mars in Aries makes a tense square to Pluto into Thursday, highlighting themes around power and control, action and force. In particular, it’s a need to temper and transform how we use our power or how we take action, not just in our individual lives, but in the world as well.

In fact, Mars and Pluto speak to raw power, especially the power of the earth, which is why this energy can feel like a volcano or like the tremors of the earth as it moves. On the personal level, something may be moving deep within, especially old emotions and feelings.

As I mentioned yesterday, this energy needs an outlet. Make time for healthy exercise over the coming days. But don’t rush. We need to keep our grounding.
