Star Codes
Taurus moon that encourages us to enjoy the sybaritic qualities of summer’s end. Savor the aromas of freshly roasted green chile and explore arts and crafts festivals before autumn kicks in.
Sunday through Monday, the moon shifts into communicative Gemini. Mercury in sociable Leo sextiles Venus in Libra and helps us to create connections. This weekend is also a pivot point. We’re all expected back at our desks on Tuesday and will be supported to do so as mental Mercury enters intelligent Virgo, and Saturn, the arbiter of business, turns direct after a long retrograde. Helping us make this change of seasons, the sun, Uranus, and Saturn have just formed a grand trine in earth signs. Mercury takes over that grand trine next weekend and encourages us to make practical, substantial changes. These trines nudge us to do a better job with managing personal responsibilities.
Also on Tuesday, the moon enters proactive but self-protective Cancer and can bring out a more diffident edge. Kids just heading back to school need extra encouragement. It helps to have things that grasp our intellectual curiosities.
But our social lives warm up on Thursday as the moon enters more outgoing, extroverted Leo. Mercury enters Virgo and wakes up our minds. As Saturn turns direct on Thursday, expect some hiccups in the chains of command. We want to know who’s on first and what’s next.
Take a pragmatic step forward as the sun, moon, and Saturn form a grand trine in earth signs. Mark territory with intentions. Watch impatience with those who want to process emotions while we’re working. Tonight, slow down and get comfortable.
Practical, cozy, and steady make up the rhythm of the day as the Taurus moon trines Pluto. We may have trouble getting our feelings and our thoughts heading in the same directions. Hearts are opened but somewhat reserved; people share revelations tangentially. After some early afternoon communication glitches, the evening encourages enthusiasm and camaraderie.
Curiosities are strong, but our attention spans may be short. Putter between different short projects or events, buzz through crafts festivals, and write short stories. A flirtatious buzz in the air encourages us to broaden our social horizons.
Spin stories or make new memories as expressive Mercury in Leo sextiles warm and creative Venus in Libra. Our vision may be gilded today, and may not allow us to see the future clearly. Changes are afoot; collect resources and build the network to prepare, but don’t jump the gun.
Family issues may be on our minds. We can feel emotionally guarded as the Cancer moon opposes responsible Saturn. We may prefer to stay home, but it’s time to be a grown-up. Don’t urge people to make friends before they’re ready.
Be kind on this potentially cranky and guarded day as irritable Mars challenges Mercury and Mercury enters thoughtful Virgo. Watch any litany of self-criticism; note specific behaviors to fix. It helps to find details that work and build from there.
Make social and professional overtures as the moon enters Leo and Saturn turns direct. We have more room to move forward. Our minds are hungry and want to engage, and overtures become easier. It’s a good day to announce changes, send out newsletters, and update websites.
