Astro Daily: August 12, 2020

The Moon moves into Gemini and we’re on the move. It’s a day to explore, chat, message, and discover new things. With the Mercury in Leo, we have lots to say, too. We may also need to reach out to a friend, network, or connect with community.

Gemini is helping us to see the bigger picture as well. As much as Leo Season is about affirming who we are and expressing our individuality, we can’t forget that we’re a part of something larger — our social circle, society, humanity, and even the collective.

That said — and this is something we’ve been talking about the past few days — there are strong astrology energies at play this week as Mars in Aries makes a square to Pluto in Capricorn. Strong emotions may be coming up. Deep issues that push and pull at our personal tectonic plates may be coming up, too. We’re navigating themes of power and control or having to face the shadowy, less than helpful parts of ourselves and others.

Again, if something is coming up for you, how will you find the courage to put it into something positive? How does anger transform into physical exercise? How does self sabotage transform into the necessary fuel to create something very different for yourself? You can watch my weekly astrology video update for August 10-16, 2020 for pointers and reminders of what this all means.

The positive side of Mars square Pluto is strength, power, and bravery to forge a new path.
