After a somewhat quiet day yesterday, the Libra Moon comes up against Pluto and Mars. Don’t be surprised if a relationship issue bubbles up to the surface, one that touches on a balance of power. Use Venus to negotiate and find the best solution for all.

The Libra Moon meets up with Venus, bringing sweetness and charm to our day. Libra naturally wants us to connect with others, so it’s a day to look at our relationships as well as reach out to those who matter the most. Style and beauty are important, too.

It’s a powerful new lunar month, one marked with the energy of a solar eclipse. We’re ready to start fresh and strike out in a new direction. But with Mercury and Mars Retrograde, it’s more about planning than moving forward for the next week.

It’s the end of the lunar month, the final hours when the Moon is at its darkest. We reflect on what we’ve experienced since July 12, especially the unexpected twists and turns. Tomorrow is not only a new moon, but an other solar eclipse.

The Moon rounds out its time in Cancer, giving us time to reflect and go within. We’re not only a couple days out from a new moon, but a couple of days from a solar eclipse, one that will give us yet another reset. Yet again, we’re on the threshold of change.

Today’s Cancer Moon points us towards home, family, and emotional connection, but it also touches a nerve. Are we safe? Do we have what we need? A Cancer Moon needs to feel loved. With our world rattling, perhaps we could all use a hug.

Uranus turns retrograde in earthy Taurus, marking the farthest it will travel in the sign of value, money, and material stability until 2019. Something is shifting in how we view theses things. Something may be shaking in our world as a result.

We start the week with a Gemini Moon, a sign that wants us to talk, explore, and learn. Normally Gemini is a sign that takes us forward, but Mercury is retrograde. It’s a good day to reevaluate our choices and see things from a different perspective.

The Moon moves from Aries to Taurus, from fire to earth. We start the weekend on a sensual note. It’s all about food, pleasure. While we’re taking it easy, note that the Moon will activate a tense Mars and Uranus, pushing us in a new direction.

Normally today’s Aries Moon would want us to get up and go, but with Mars still retrograde (and Mercury), moving forward isn’t so straightforward. Retrogrades are always an important time for us to reconsider. Be conscious of your actions and your choices.
