Astro Daily: August 9, 2023

The Moon moves into Gemini and we feel the grounded support of Mercury in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. As we round out the lunar month, we may find ourselves planning for the future. Be open to new potentials. Also, spend time with friends and community.

Normally Gemini is a bit chatty and sociable, and we may have a busy day ahead, but Mercury’s presence in Virgo highlights another side, a need to slow down, think things through, and to make the best informed choice.

If you recall, Mercury is starting to slow down in preparation to turn retrograde on August 23. We have to take more time to think and process, finding discernment. And Mercury made an opposition to Saturn last week, which is to say, we need to make sure we’re doing the smart mature thing at the moment, living up to Saturn’s high expectations.

A reminder, you can still watch my two-hour presentation on the Lunar Nodes and why they are two of the most important points in the sky and what it means now they are in Aries-Libra until early 2025. Read more about The Lunar Nodes in Aries-Libra and get the replay in the link below.

If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for August 10, 2023.
