Astrology Forecast for Emotional Balance October 2 – 10

Libra Season Meditation for Equanimity

Resist Impatience

At the Libra Solar Eclipse on October 2, pay attention to any issues of dependence that cause you to lose yourself in some way. If you feel indecisive, argumentative, or irritated, give yourself extra space. As best you can, resist impatience and choose to be curious about the hidden feelings that underlie initial impulses. Recognize what progress can be made from the willingness to collaborate with others. As a south node Solar Eclipse, the decision to work through problematic habits now benefits you in the months to come.

Capacity to Connect

Throughout October 3, continue to objectively consider the repercussions of unearthing hidden attachments. Talk to friends or acquaintances about your reflections to gain greater understanding. Despite a potentially rocky start to the day on October 4, relax into a feeling of kindness and support that may come about in a group situation. Stability rests on your capacity to connect with others.

A Sneak Preview

An investigative attitude permeates the mood on October 5 with the Moon in Scorpio. A desire to gain deeper comprehension about some relationship issue flickers at the edges of your consciousness. This could be a sneak preview into a future subject, so pay close attention to any insights that pop up. Your state of mind is clearly at odds with your emotional druthers on October 6. Mentally, you may wish to adopt an even keel but you can’t ignore something that pokes a tender spot. Circumvent an overreaction by reflecting on how your microcosm mirrors the popular culture, lighting the lantern of wisdom.

Generous Spirit

On October 7, levity carries the day. If you find yourself troubling over an issue with authority, let it pass with a smile. This prepares you for the generous spirit of October 8. Venus harmonizing with Mars suggests easy access to gut instincts along with the ability to act on them. Use this superpower wisely, letting it add to a natural tendency toward altruism signified by a co-occurring trine between Mercury and Jupiter. When you express your needs from a place of inner calm, everyone benefits. Bask in the warmth of positive feelings.

Conserve Energy

Jupiter stops in its tracks for its annual retrograde period on October 9. This invites you to slow down and perceive where you feel stretched too thin. If freneticism dominates, inquire what you might be able to let go of. Lean into the Capricorn Moon to seriously contemplate how to conserve your finite energy. At the waxing half moon on October 10, carry on in this vein of thinking. Include where you might need to minimize social activity in favor of a sturdier sense of internal integrity.

Horoscopes at the Libra Solar Eclipse

Using your Rising (or Sun) sign, read below for clues regarding how to handle what might be irking you. Pay special attention to raw feelings that sit at odds with your need for peace and balance with others.

Cancer Last Quarter Moon

September 24, 2:49pm ET / September 25, 2:49am AWST

Astrology Forecast for Emotional Balance September 24 – October 2

Libra Season Equanimity Meditation

A Measure of Care

At the Cancer Last Quarter Moon on September 24, practice turning inward toward tender or frazzled feelings as a matter of course. When you look within first, you can provide yourself with a measure of care before acting out in a regretful way. Reckoning with your aggravations not only makes you more available to offer genuine sympathy to others, but it also connects you to your emotional resilience. Midway between two eclipses, how you handle and relate to your feelings now has lasting implications for the future.

Sidestep Aggravations

A sense of bewilderment or misapprehension may pervade your mindset on September 25. If you can’t get clear about something, simply table it for later perusal. Give yourself plenty of space so that you can continue to tend to your inner state. Sidestep aggravations that aren’t worth your time and keep focusing on developing compassion. On September 26, whatever seemed unclear yesterday may appear in stark relief. Fortunately, Mercury’s move into Libra suggests an increase in your capacity for objectivity. Continue to stay closely attuned to your feelings throughout the day. The mood lifts as the Moon enters Leo and encourages maximum generosity.

Refresh Your Memory

Enjoy the faster pace and warming vibe on September 27, though notice if your positive feelings seem to be at odds with someone else’s mood. Be aware and continue to shine your light. Exuberance is the name of the game on September 28. As you talk about joy and hope, you participate in the co-creation of healing possibilities. The insight you gained about your tenacity resurfaces. On September 29, refresh your memory about the Libra season themes to do with reclaiming your agency. Observe any tendency toward indecisiveness or, on the other hand, uncooperativeness. Look from a practical rather than emotional angle.

Fairness and Collaboration

The possibility for greater empathy regarding a conflict you’re dealing with heightens on September 30. For best results, check in with your own reactivity before assuming that you intuitively know what someone else needs. Then focus on tangible solutions. Mercury joins the Sun today to initiate a new paradigm of fairness and collaboration. On October 1, tie up itinerant details so you can focus on the big picture. Small but diligent efforts add up to a lot. Review and appreciate your work at the end of the day. In preparation for the Libra Solar Eclipse on October 2, revisit the central theme of maintaining reasonable independence while also cooperating with others. Be curious about how this shows up in your relationships. The issue may not be readily obvious, as it hovers in the shadow zone of your subconscious.

Libra Season & Equinox 2024: September 22 – October 22, 2024

Libra Season Equanimity Meditation

Reclaim Your Agency

After the utilitarian focus of Virgo season, the cardinal air sign of Libra glides in to encourage inclusion and cooperation. Concerned with the central issue of social balance, Libra season signifies the time to choose who to collaborate with and how. True collaboration involves finding the sweet spot between making your own contribution and turning over the floor to others. To achieve this balance, maintain equanimity and concentrate on where you want to reclaim your agency.

Trust Your Intuition

There are many ways society impinges upon individuals to forgo personal agency, especially those who come from marginalized groups. During this Libra season, question areas in your life where you may have been seduced – by cultural constructs, family dynamics, promises of rescue, celebrity dazzle, or something else – and given away your personal power. Evaluate what seems out of balance in your relationships and environment by paying attention to where you feel frenetic, anxious, or otherwise stretched too thin. Slow down, tune in, and trust your intuition and instincts to guide you.

The Season Overall

Although Libra season overall places your attention on the mental and social aspects of life, a subliminal current of feelings underpins the breezy atmosphere. On day one, Venus bumps into intense Pluto and then descends into Scorpio’s hidden lair, signifying the need to scrutinize subtle patterns in your relationships. While the layers peel back underneath, concrete matters and productivity occupy the forefront for the first week.

The vibe begins to change on October 2 at the Libra Solar Eclipse, eliciting the central theme of including others while maintaining a measure of independence. The eclipse suggests that something unconscious blocks your full vitality. You may recognize an inner struggle between your solitary aspiration and an obligation to appease someone else. Meanwhile, a grand trine in water signs between Mars, Venus, and Saturn provides a basis of solid emotional support. Listen to your gut feelings and inner voice. Reflect on emotional triggers to determine where you might be giving yourself away. Accept kindness from others and offer the same in return. Jupiter retrogrades on October 9, indicating a slowdown in recent thought processes. This bolsters the inclination to recognize and shed unconscious behaviors.

After the Capricorn First Quarter Moon, prepare to handle stress with aplomb. The boat gets rocked, but you have the resources to manage the buffeting, as long as you respect your deeper feelings. Running away from hidden impulses only makes them stronger, so calm down, muster your courage, and stand your ground. At the Aries Full Moon, pay attention to your raw instincts and manage volatility. This allows you to step into a renewed version of yourself, one who treasures egalitarian balance while confidently asserting yourself. As the Sun moves into Scorpio, feel fully equipped to further accept your vulnerabilities and develop your emotional wealth.

Horoscopes for Libra Season

The Sun’s journey through a sign illuminates a specific area of your life every season. Using your Rising (or Sun) sign, read below to evaluate how you relinquish your personal sovereignty in the effort to include others. Trust your feelings to support your reflection.

Aries: Examine the balance of independence and cooperation in your main partnerships. Listen to feelings that arise at home, your reactions to others’ issues, and your authoritative intuition.

Taurus: Evaluate your health care habits and daily routines for balance. Accept the emotional understanding that comes from your local environment, your partnerships, and your community.

Gemini: Observe the balance of power in your creative pursuits and how you give of yourself. Trust your ability to offer empathy in how you earn, in your workplace, and in public situations.

Cancer: Reckon with the way your connection to family causes you to give up emotional power. Embrace the importance of your emotions in how you express your authentic self and view life.

Leo: Assess how you give up personal sovereignty in daily, local, or sibling communications. Trust messages from your subconscious, old family dynamics, and your natural empathic ability.

Virgo: Witness your challenges with money, resources, and issues of self-worth. Embrace kind, perhaps unexpected, support of others in your community, local environment, and partnerships.

Libra: Mull over struggles with indecision, argumentativeness, or appeasing others. Lean into the emotional support that comes from your profession, your self-worth, and your daily habits.

Scorpio: Ruminate on your deeply internal balance of power and spiritual viewpoint. Rely on your philosophy of feelings, your intense desire for change, and your natural gift for empathy.

Sagittarius: Address your struggles with power imbalances in social settings. Lean into your instincts in dealing with others’ unconscious difficulties and your innate bedrock of compassion.

Capricorn: Consider how you handle your personal power in your public life. Accept emotional support from close partnerships, transformative community ties, and daily empathic interactions.

Aquarius: Reflect on how much independence you give up by seeking wisdom from others. Draw emotional support from your daily practices, your vocation, and your personal resources.

Pisces: Ascertain how you lose agency in the way you handle other people’s unconscious issues. Welcome the feelings that flow from your playfulness, focused worldview, and natural empathy.

Astrology Forecast for Emotional Balance September 17 – 24

Virgo Season Grounding Meditation

Practice Compassion

At the Pisces Lunar Eclipse during Virgo season, attend to the deeper feelings that lie beyond pragmatic concerns. Practice compassion by letting it rise to the forefront in your daily interactions. Rather than being a fanciful ideal, compassion stems from empathy, which recent neuroscience suggests is a part of the human survival matrix. As social creatures, caring for the welfare of others translates into group survival. During this lunar eclipse, first turn inward to assess your resilience. Release fear that constricts your positive feelings. Then voice your understanding, forgiveness, or acceptance. Your current actions set the tone for the next six months.

Kernels of Knowledge

Take note of your dreams from the night before on September 18. Jot down any kernels of knowledge gained from intuitive or mystical sources. As the Moon moves into Aries, wisdom gathered from the collective ethos folds into your keen and personal desire to act. Take heed of bold new avenues that appear. If you feel emotional or volatile, keep to yourself and treat yourself to a hot bath, exercise, or some other pursuit that involves heat or sweat. On September 19, a massive influx in energy may trigger excitement or anxiety. Either way, employ grounding practices and connect with nature to calm your nervous system. Embrace a powerful insight about your personal resources. Feel emboldened by speaking to those who inspire you.

A Feeling of Peace

If an intense mood pervades on September 20, step toward what you feel afraid of. Monsters tend to shrink when you call them out. Settle into your body as the Moon enters Taurus. Recall your intention to centralize compassion as part of your daily habits when the Sun opposes Neptune. Tender feelings that popped up recently can now be integrated into your emotional nature with more ease. On September 21, your need for tidiness and structure may be at odds with a bigger urge for socializing or sharing with others. Satisfy both by setting aside time to put something in order before departing for the soiree. Enjoy a feeling of peace that threads through the day.

The Company of Others

Choose activities that expand your foundation in some way on September 22. Immerse in natural rhythms and witness the change in seasons. A quiet morning gives way to excitability or restlessness, as both luminaries enter air signs. When the Sun enters Libra at 8:43am ET, the focus turns to including and enjoying the company of others. Despite the desire for niceties on the surface, tension around relationship or money matters may build throughout the day. You may have to deal with the core issue of some conflict. Use the infamous Libran levelheadedness to investigate the problem head on. Meditate before bed to divest yourself of any stress.

Approach with Kindness

On September 23, heave a sigh of relief after a potentially challenging weekend and focus on something less emotional and data-oriented. Go through the day like a stone skipping over the water, though be aware that your words hold more clout than usual. You may feel uncomfortably pulled in different directions on September 24. If so, approach self and others with kindness, as everyone has a lot going on. As the Moon moves into Cancer, your ability to sympathize increases. Watch for a major insight that land in your lap. At the Cancer Last Quarter Moon, release misgivings and open the conversation to all who wish to participate.

Horoscopes for the Pisces Lunar Eclipse

Using your Rising (or Sun) sign, read below for what the Pisces Lunar Eclipse signifies in your natal chart. Contemplate what compassion means to you and what difficult experiences have led you to develop it. As you ask yourself these big questions, above all, treat yourself kindly.

Aries: Question how your daily habits and work routines support your cumulative mental health and spiritual perspective. Contemplate how to cultivate deeper empathy for your struggles.

Taurus: Observe how your creative gifts support your participation in community. Release perfectionism that impedes your capacity for compassion or understanding of self and others.

Gemini: Notice that as you prioritize emotional balance, your capacity for compassion in your public or professional life increases. Let go of what doesn’t contribute to you feeling grounded.

Cancer: Communicate compassion as a central tenet of your life philosophy. Discard unkind or critical attitudes in favor of listening to your higher self.

Leo: Trust your inner resources that allow you to navigate other people’s difficult or unconscious issues. Release fears that hold you back from offering compassion to yourself and others.

Virgo: Pay attention to your capacity for compassion in your partnerships. Consider how to let go of self-criticism or judgment regarding how you show up.

Libra: Give over to your larger spiritual perspective. Offer yourself compassion as an intrinsic part of your daily routines that support your mental and physical health.

Scorpio: The way you give of yourself dovetails with your capacity for compassion. Let go of self-criticism and recognize how this resource of yours benefits your social circles.

Sagittarius: Release your focus on work minutiae and allow yourself to float on the foundation of your spiritual perspective. Your natural compassion for others incubates at home.

Capricorn: Apply your compassion to your daily mundane interactions, no matter how small. Let go of judgment and overconcern about the details in favor of a broader perspective.

Aquarius: Incorporate deeper self-compassion for what resources you have to offer others. Notice the relationship between holding healthy boundaries and your capacity for self-love.

Sagittarius First Quarter Moon

September 11, 2024, 2:05am EDT / 2:05pm AWST

Astrology Forecast for Emotional Balance September 11 – 17

Virgo Season Grounding Meditation

Integrate Playfulness

At the Sagittarius First Quarter Moon, integrate playfulness into your routines. Turn chores into a game, find buddies to join you on an outdoor adventure, and/or tap your sense of humor to lighten the load. Also, listen internally to what ignites your desire to help others. As the energy calms this week, move into a quieter rhythm. Welcome the joy generated in your dearest relationships. Rather than swimming toward a goal, float with social and universal tides. Practice acceptance in preparation for the upcoming Pisces Lunar Eclipse.

Hands-On Effort

On September 12, discuss your thoughts and then accept the taciturn vibe of the day. Hands-on effort communicates your intention better than talking. The natural buoyancy of yesterday settles into a practical and efficient cadence, especially if you respect your emotional limits. Should the occasion arise on September 13, receive any input from a close associate. Turning your attention to hard work proves to be quite effective. For impressive results, allow yourself to become consumed with the task at hand.

A Flow of Ideas

By September 14, make sure to act on the intention you set at the Virgo New Moon, no matter how small the step. A habit adjustment you sought to make feels within reach today. You may even catch a glimpse of what the change could bring. September 15 offers a spacious and beneficial flow of ideas, as the Moon trines Venus and Jupiter. Enjoy a new level of conceptual insight. You may feel completely open to external advice or instruction, or on the other hand, have no need for it. In any case, keeping your mind clear and receptive sets the stage for a healing opportunity. A surprising burst of emotion that ruffles the still surface of your intellect offers clues to a direction change.

Nurture Kindness

Reflecting on yesterday’s stirred up emotions seems mandatory as the Moon enters Pisces on September 16. You may feel more able to understand the unexpected appearance of such strong feelings. Your sensitivity also affords more tenderness in your approach with others. Accepting your own shortcomings holds the possibility for an unforeseen reconciliation. On September 17, contemplate how to nurture more kindness and care within and without. Call your spirituality into full view and ask yourself how to incorporate compassion into your daily practices at the Pisces Lunar Eclipse.

September 2, 9:55pm ET / September 3, 9:55am AWST

Astrology Forecast for Emotional Balance September 2 – 11

Virgo Season Meditation for Grounding

Adjusting Your Daily Habits

At the Virgo New Moon, get serious about adjusting your daily habits to better support what you can realistically manage. As you contemplate which habits to shift, consider how your spiritual intentions fit into your longer term goals. Recent neuroscience research suggests that choosing altruistic goals increases your ability to function from the parasympathetic nervous system, the state from which optimum health emerges. To weather upcoming bumps in the road, keep this central tenet in mind as the Moon waxes towards the dynamic first quarter phase this week.

The Gift of Extra Time

You may wake in a bit of a muddle on September 3. Neptune square Mars suggests that despite a strong urge for action, not much comes from forcing things through. Hasty propositions promise to fizzle out. It may be best to set aside individual ventures and instead join others in spiritual practices such as yoga or meditation. This also prepares you to navigate an old behavioral pattern that could pop up later in the day. Jot down unexpected insights on September 4. Let your inner musings continue until the opportunity naturally arises to connect with someone who crosses your path. Mars departs from jittery Gemini to enter the moody waters of Cancer. Put yourself on notice to pay closer attention to sensitive emotions floating just beneath the surface. Give yourself the gift of extra time as much as possible for at least the next two months.

Quiet Contemplation

With the Moon in Libra, it feels effortless to stay on an even keel on September 5. Enjoy pleasant exchanges and exercise your power of choice in simple matters. An easy benevolence continues to permeate the social atmosphere through September 6. Humor and affable banter supports a strong desire to include others and maintain a welcoming environment. On September 7, the mental equilibrium of the past couple days seems to evaporate, as a persistent insecurity reemerges. Moving gently toward the issue mitigates the intensity, so carve out time for quiet contemplation if you need it.

Installing Altruism

On September 8, the Sun opposing Saturn raises the issue of accountability. This likely refers back to the idea of installing altruism as a central component in your current work, plan, or project. Meditate on feelings that arise in this connection, though don’t brood on perceived failings. Keep your hands busy with tangible tasks to alleviate tension. Your attention turns more fully to your to-do list as Mercury enters Virgo on September 9. Notice what feelings drive your motivation and enjoy a welcome lightening of mood when it comes. Edgy wit spices up mundane matters. September 10 looks to be a day of cheerful engagement, including a brief interaction that corroborates a feeling of things flowing in the right direction. Revisit the spirit of your intention to contribute to the wellbeing of others. At the Sagittarius First Quarter Moon on September 11, inject a sense of optimism and adventure into daily routines.

Gemini Last Quarter Moon

August 26, 2024, 5:25am ET / 5:25pm AWST

Astrology Forecast for Emotional Balance August 26 – September 2

Virgo Season Grounding Meditation

Empowering Conversations

A Last Quarter Moon signifies a time to let go of something in the name of growth. At the Gemini Last Quarter Moon in Virgo season, let go of frivolous talk and instead sift through mental narratives that impede your forward progress. Then engage in constructive and empowering conversations that inspire others to get involved. As the Moon wanes toward a new cycle, relax and watch what materializes from your intentions.

Keen Insight

A practical and keen insight emerges from an interaction that concerns an agreement in values on August 27. Like a beehive, the day buzzes with intellectual ideas and social banter. While the mood tends to remain light and quick, the power to act on your notions lies easily at your fingertips. Thoughts transfer readily into action. On August 28, what made sense conceptually yesterday doesn’t jibe with today’s emotional needs. This becomes abundantly clear to you as the Moon enters Cancer. As your intuitive antennae unfurl, your comprehension of the connection between a universal spiritual truth and a specific relationship issue increases. Mercury stations direct, inviting you to reflect on what you’ve learned about the link between gratitude and abundance lately.

Cooperation and Interdependence

On August 29, Venus entering Libra symbolizes a desire for equilibrium. Cooperation and interdependence take precedence in your connections with others. Accessible empathy supports your pursuit of inclusion. Venus trine Pluto underscores the enormous amount of power available through collaboration. Culturally, this may deal with the righting of social injustices. Allow and sit with the tides of your feelings on August 30. When the Moon enters Leo, question if you can detect an upswing in emotional energy. Reflect on your ability to be present with others and see how giving your full attention encourages positive feelings.

Unfinished Business

On August 31, exude a sense of generosity as you move through your day. Express creativity and joy in anything you take on. On September 1, step more fully into your sense of self as your mind and heart align. Uranus stations retrograde at 27º Taurus. If you have important points in late fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), you are likely in the throes of an extended personal change that may generate excitement or anxiety. Also, Pluto dips back into Capricorn to handle unfinished business. Pay close attention to shifts in your mood state for insights. On September 2, the Moon in Virgo returns your awareness to practical detail-oriented matters. Find your ground and set an intention to stabilize your routines. Make a plan for how you wish to manage changing parameters.

Virgo Season

August 22, 2024, 10:55am ET / 10:55pm AWST

Virgo Season Grounding Meditation

Nourish Your Body

After the exuberant engagement of Leo season, Virgo returns the focus to practicality, productivity, and helpfulness. Coinciding with cooling temperatures and the harvest, Virgo seasons indicates a time to make preparations and establish supportive routines. In the Southern Hemisphere, it does the same, though marks the transition from winter to spring. In any case, Virgo reflects the need to nourish your body in the interest of sustaining your energy level for the hard work ahead.

Your Eating Habits

One way or another, all three Earth signs – Virgo, Taurus, and Capricorn – pertain to the substance and processes of the physical body. Since Virgo refers to the digestive tract and its connection to the nervous system, this is an opportune time to scrutinize your eating habits. This includes not just what and when you eat, but your state of mind during meals. Tracking how grounded you feel after eating across the course of your day provides a useful understanding. You may even want to keep a food journal for the next few weeks to compare your perception to your reality. Rather than criticizing or correcting yourself, approach this analysis with the desire to be of service without compromising your health.

Virgo Season Overall

The Sun entering Virgo facilitates a shift to a realistic mindset about the immediate tasks ahead. The main stressor during Virgo season involves a conflict between the desire to expand in one realm while accepting limits in another. Separate worthwhile areas of learning and growth from dead ends and dogma by sitting still enough to listen to your own voice and evaluating your physical energy. Consider your ability to take in what people seem to be asking for in your important relationships. Set aside mental falsehoods of control and instead apply your keen insight to understand your own inner state.

At the Virgo New Moon, set an intention to stabilize the routines that impact your metabolism, especially eating, exercising, and sleeping. Mercury squares Uranus for the third time, demanding that you pay attention to what motivates or inspires you, whether through anxiety or excitement. Find a way to incorporate games, fun, and adventure into your daily exercise and nutrition. The struggle between emotional limits and the desire to increase your network seesaws in the background. Welcome a gift of calm resourcefulness that expands your reach more effectively than running around trying to prove yourself.

At the Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 17, soften your scrutiny to refocus on your less tangible spiritual life. That’s not to say forget about bodily concerns, but rather let go of personal minutiae in favor of seeing the bigger picture. Many are suffering, unable to meet their basic eating, sleeping, or security needs. Keep doing the work of anchoring your own mental health which affects the collective experience whether you can see that or not. As Virgo season comes to close, adopt a curious, non-judgmental attitude to walk the path to empowerment. The Sun enters inclusive Libra on September 22.

Horoscopes for Virgo Season

During Virgo season, focus on nourishing your body and settling your nervous system with an eye toward finding a sustainable and realistic energy level. Use your Rising (or Sun) sign, to read what part of your life needs this gentle scrutiny the most.

Aries: Pay attention to the daily habits that make up your lifestyle. Respect the cumulative effects of your stress-relieving activities and lean into the ones that support your energy level.

Taurus: Steer away from perfectionism and organize your time to make room for unbridled creative expression. Take risks and play to release undue stress on your nervous system.

Gemini: Choose habits that support your emotional foundation. Ask yourself what activities ground and support you in maintaining an even keel despite changing moods.

Cancer: Commit to clear communication in all forms. Consider the messages you need to convey that support your effectiveness as well as your ability to remain calm and nonjudgmental.

Leo: Check in with the way you value yourself, including noticing negative self-criticism that dysregulates your nervous system. Recognize your work ethic that supports yourself and others.

Virgo: Make nourishing your body and calming your nervous system your top priority. Develop a daily practice of checking in with yourself before engaging with your partners in life.

Astrology Forecast for Emotional Balance August 19 – 26

Leo Season Radiance Meditation

The Principle of Non-Attachment

At the Aquarius Full Moon, use the principle of non-attachment to stay centered while riding the rollercoaster of public and personal change. Witnessing rather than reacting to your thoughts enables you to stand in the strength of Leo season’s generous heart-centered perspective. In addition, tension between Saturn and Jupiter emphasizes the contrasting necessities of expansion and contraction. Watch for a tendency to expand beyond your limits for a person, cause, or belief. Embrace optimism but conserve your energy. During the week ahead, apply your individual passion to collective concerns. Reflect on the meaning of compassion and choose practical actions that support beneficence in others.

Collective Concerns

On August 20, the Moon in Pisces encourages a profound contemplation of what it truly means to help others without overextending, an echo of yesterday’s themes. Continue your meditative musings into the next day from personal and collective angles. Consider how humans fit into the web of life and events on the planet as a whole. Embrace a feeling of being part of something so much larger than just you. As the Moon shifts into Aries, collective concerns quickly fall away, enabling you to focus on your independent desires. However, an opportunity still lingers to examine the impact of your actions on your social groups.

Your Authentic Viewpoint

Your self-focused mood continues on August 22, though the Sun’s movement into humble Virgo directs your attention to contributing to others’ wellbeing. You may feel compelled to speak out on the behalf of someone who you see as a victim. Despite having good intentions, be careful about acting without consulting with those you have in mind. Listen before voicing your outrage. On August 23, enthusiastic emotions drive persuasive actions. Converse with others while holding the intention to mend broken fences. Your thoughts and feelings connect easily today, creating an avenue to share your authentic viewpoint. The Moon entering stable Taurus calms and grounds your motives into realistic channels. Stay alert to unexpected insight.

Decisive Action

On August 24, offer a listening ear without hesitation. What you hear likely can be turned into a course of decisive action. Enjoy a grounding walk in the woods. Your serenity may encounter some buffeting on August 25, as your mood and mind separate over the desire for tranquility versus the need to know.

Scorpio First Quarter Moon

August 12, 2024, 11:18am ET / 11:18pm AWST

Forecast for Emotional Balance August 12 – 19

Leo Season Radiance Meditation

Tune Into Elusive Feelings

Always a crossroads, a waxing half-moon cues a time to make consequential decisions. At the Scorpio First Quarter Moon, tune into elusive feelings that hang in the shadows of your awareness. Use a gift of keen emotional sensitivity to excavate and divulge the vulnerable feelings that you typically work hard to hide. Then, in the bighearted spirit of Leo season, express the fruits of your inner journey without being shy. As the week unfolds, enjoy the animated expansiveness of collaboration, though prepare to encounter natural limits. Limits may come in the form of ego checks, reminders to avoid dramas of your own making, or something you simply need to deal with.

Magnification of Actions

The Scorpio Moon continues to dredge up emotional detritus until it lands in Sagittarius on August 13. As the mood lifts, so do the chances of empowering others with your vision. Let healthy practicality contain preposterous proposals. At 11:21am ET on August 14, Mars connects with Jupiter to symbolize the maximum magnification of actions. Use this contact to take a step that expands the reach of your constructive plan. For instance, you might schedule a conversation with a business coach or discuss your aging parents’ needs with a sibling. The Moon’s movement today echoes this expansive signature and also foreshadows bumping up against realistic limits. Mercury crosses backwards into Leo, inviting you to reflect on your intentions.

Hard Limits

Energy runs high at first on August 15. Sidestep a rabbit hole by refusing to get pulled into insincerity or trickery. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. At the same time, heart-centered optimism creates space for healing. The Moon shifting into Capricorn turns your attention to serious or professional matters. On August 16, accept cold hard limits with as much grace as you can muster. Mars square Saturn indicates areas that lack accountability or plausibility, routing out rogues and dreamers alike. Staying in integrity with your personal truth supports a feeling of flow in your relationships. Let limits provide backbone and stability, rather than containment and constriction.

Loyal To Your Inner Essence

Start the day on August 17 with a moment’s affirmation about your best use of energy. If you feel moody, ask yourself if you’re resisting something inevitable and adopt a more pliable stance while being kind and forgiving. The Moon entering Aquarius liberates you from solemnity so you can enjoy socializing in good company. On August 18, resist the tendency to be rash or impulsive as Mercury squares Uranus. Stay loyal to your inner essence rather than to fleeting thoughts or dogmatic beliefs. At least attempt to understand other points of view, even if they are radically different from your own. It could be helpful to think back to a related realization that occurred at the Capricorn Full Moon on July 21. Clarity arrives in many forms on August 19. Take care of personal relationship needs first. Maintain an air of objective curiosity about your own reactions. As the Moon waxes to full, use your observational powers to examine your capacity for generosity. Aspire to self-confidence over bluster, gratitude over displeasure, and audacity over avoidance.
