Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things. This Moon phase is suited for synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required.
Items You Will Need:
One onion
Black Candle
Cleanse an onion in fresh water, consecrate by you for your purpose. During a waxing moon, preferably on a Monday (unless you need to do it sooner) otherwise, Monday for the moon’s emotions.
Take the onion and light your candle. You can carve any protective symbols you wish on the onion to personalize it, or leave it as it is. Remember the onion represents you.
As you sit in the light of the candle, peel the onion, layer by layer, knowing that with each layer you peel, you remove on more layer of pain you hold within yourself, one more layer of hate, anger, rancor or greed.
After you have completed your task, and your onion is completely peeled away, place the remains in a white bowl on your windowsill, in the kitchen, recognizing that the moon’s power will remove the negativity around you, (even if the light of the moon is not visible, it’s the energy and thought that is important).
Once you have finished the spell, take a shower, or bath to cleanse and purify and complete your work. Know you are cleansed.

Managing our options can be challenging today because it’s tempting to take our emotions to extremes. The ambitious Capricorn Moon prompts us to stifle our feelings as we offset sensual desires with an unquenchable thirst for success. However, pleasure-seeking Venus is empowered as she moves through her home sign of collaborative Libra until September 11. Nevertheless, it’s difficult now to strike a healthy balance between work and play
Finding your comfort zone is tricky today because the more you adapt to meet the needs of others, the more you want to break free from the demands being placed upon you now. However, withdrawing emotionally tends to make you resentful. Your smartest strategy is to prevent your energy from stagnating. If you consciously breathe deeply throughout the day, you won’t be as likely to suppress your feelings. Expressing your desires without being tied to the outcome relieves the pressure for everyone around you.
You might have a difficult time acknowledging the wishes of your friends and family today. Although the Moon is still in earthy Capricorn, your stubborn streak may surface in little ways that prevent you from just walking away from a volatile situation. Explore strategies that include someone who was previously the subject of your criticism or ire. Instead of being a perfectionist now, make the most of your heightened senses by responding in a more practical and enlightened manner.
You may be feeling a bit out of sorts today, especially if someone is counting on you for something you don’t want to do. You might have other plans, but chances are that not much is going to change yet. Your values are brought into sharp focus as you compare your desires to your current opportunities. But satisfaction is elusive; although having patience can be tough, you need it now more than ever. Waiting may be the hardest part, but it also brings the greatest rewards.
You are at the beginning of a three-week phase where your needs may be in stark contrast with what is offered to you in the real world. The key is to seek balance between experiencing new pleasures and getting your most basic needs met so you can feel secure. This is not a time to go overboard with indulgences. Nevertheless, you will be surprised how happy you can be if you just take care of the bare minimums and leave the rest up to the universe.
You are eager to discuss your attractions and desires in an objective manner now. Thankfully, you have an even-handed approach to relationships and the more you talk about them, the better your chances are to find the love you’re seeking. However, chores or previous commitments could get in the way of your pursuit of happiness if you put too much emphasis on them. Meet your obligations, but leave time to explore your personal needs, too.
Reevaluating your priorities inspires you to set new relationship goals. Thankfully, it’s easier to express your needs in a more spontaneous manner now that the earthy Capricorn Moon is visiting your 5th House of Love and Play. But you might also feel a bit wistful if you think you missed your chance to have fun today. Don’t worry if sharing your desires with a good friend is currently easier than actually fulfilling them. You’ll have another opportunity to act like a kid in just a few days.
You may be preoccupied with relationship issues as the love planet Venus travels through your sign for the next three weeks. Luckily, you’re more likely to experience sensual pleasure now since your charm factor is soaring. However, you also can get lazy as you soak in the good times that await you. Instead of concentrating all your energy on fleeting moments of physical enjoyment, explore ways to let your creativity take root and flower. Remain open to being surprised because romance is in the air and magic is afoot.
Someone may ask you to play the role of a compassionate caretaker now, and the more love you have for this person, the easier the job will be. You can feel a high level of altruism in relationships these days, but your tendency toward self-denial could become a problem if you are being pressured or coerced. If you’re not feeling it then inaction is better than faking good intentions; do what’s in your heart and you can’t go wrong.
Your mind is working overtime envisioning reliable ways to make money, but your follow-through might not support your big ideas now. Your social needs lure you away from your more practical responsibilities; you may prefer to have a memorable time with friends than to put extra hours in on a project. Fortunately, love can be combined with friendship in a way that makes adventures more possible today, especially when you are participating in group activities. Get out and have some fun while the getting is good.
It may seem easier to make more money these days, but don’t get sidetracked by any kind of get-rich-quick schemes. Love isn’t full of surprises now; instead, you get what you deserve. This is a great time to reach for your goals because people in power are more inclined to support your ambitions now that attractive Venus is visiting your 10th House of Public Status. Happily, you can count on what you receive as being the real thing in matters of the heart or concerns about the bottom line.
Companionship arrives in unusual forms today and broadens your horizons in ways that you never imagined. These next three weeks may offer you intriguing opportunities to take a trip with someone special, but even if this doesn’t happen, keep in mind that you can still travel within the realms of your imagination. Lighten your approach to love; it’s too important of a journey to take seriously.
You might attempt to maintain your balance in the realm of relationships now, but your sexual appetite could pull you into deeper emotional waters. Nearly any intimate encounter takes on unexpected intensity since you’re more likely to express your passions without restraint today. Your current challenge is to create an emotionally safe space where feelings can flow naturally.
[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.] Every month, the two days before a Full Moon constitute a preparation time-period. That is the process beginning now for the enlightening vibrations about to manifest throughout humanity and the Earth on Tuesday August 20. Keep in mind that yesterday’s Sun-Ceres conjunction still carries a lot of potency concerning your productive output across the board, eating habits, and interaction with maternal figures. Tensions may be rising in the psychic environment due to the monthly Moon-Mars polarity — right now happening between Capricorn and Cancer (11:27AM). An extra hassle here could be that this opposition across the zodiac also starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lingers until 9:08PM when the Moon enters airy Aquarius. During the 9+ hours when the Moon is void-of-course, it is much better to mellow out completely than to use arm-twisting maneuvers to make someone do your bidding or follow your lead. In other words, relax, have fun, and let sleeping dogs lie. It is intriguing that Mercury unites with Vesta in Leo (12:27PM) — a conjunction that has a capacity to increase the value of your assets and investments. However, you are advised to utilize this favorable sky pattern after the Moon enters Aquarius (9:08PM). Once the Moon is in the eleventh sign of the zodiac, group projects, team sports, and community activism are reinforced

Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things. This Moon phase is suited for synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required.
The organizing capacity of our minds enables us to do the hard work necessary to create strong foundations. The conservative Capricorn Moon reflects our more serious nature, especially as energetic Mars forms a fateful connection with taskmaster Saturn. The fluidity of the ever-changing Moon can be stifled by cautious Capricorn’s need to maintain the status quo. However, unsettling lunar transits continue to throw curve balls throughout the day.
If you feel blocked in your creative expression now, it’s time to check in with your feelings. Fortunately, there is much potential for movement as long as you’re willing to step into the unknown. Instead of attempting to protect your heart from the vagaries of change, embrace the uncertainties of the future. Even if you don’t yet have a plan, give voice to your intentions. And don’t write off the potential for positive results before you even give it a fair chance.
Your strength of purpose empowers you to overcome minor setbacks today, but establishing goals is only a start. You must light a fire under yourself to create momentum; if you don’t take action now, you’ll regret it down the road. Be careful not to get involved in an emotional power struggle as you try to advance your own position. Be resolute but kind in your drive for success.
Your feelings play a more important role in your life now, but they may be difficult to express. You tend to emphasize mind over heart, yet today your emotions are stirred up from the subconscious, like the stuff that gets scraped up from the bottom of a pot of soup. Don’t resist the movement. You can learn valuable lessons from your suppressed fears and desires, even if they make you uncomfortable at first.
Your feelings are weighing heavy on your mind today. However, you may have created emotional distance between you and your loved ones in order to prevent disappointment or even possible heartbreak. Luckily, there is a solid opportunity for you to do something brilliant now if you’re willing to move through your own self-created restrictions. Serious reevaluation is fine but be ready to take that chance to make a splash and show someone that you care.
Reality throws a few obstacles in your path today in the form of additional chores or someone trying to hijack your weekend routine. Look within to learn how these external blockages may actually be symbolic of your own feelings. Awareness is the key; if you take the time to understand your role in what’s happening, you can break on through to the other side.
It appears as if the spotlight is on someone else and that you can get away with a bit of anonymity today. Paradoxically, your current invisibility doesn’t prevent people from making more demands of your time. Even if responsibilities are heaped upon you, you somehow rise to the challenge and beyond. But if you have control issues and try to do it all by yourself, the best-made plans may collapse. Involve others equally and you will appear to be brilliant.
Others appreciate you as the consummate host, but it’s tricky because they might not be able to see you for who you really are. Instead, you are perceived as a public figure without much regards to your personal needs. Emotions are difficult to control, but you may think that it’s important not to show all your feelings, especially the negative ones. Don’t try to bury them or your life will just get crazier. Living cautiously is one thing, but everything is easier if you don’t hide your head in the sand.
Your emotions are complicated by friends and family today, and there may not be an easy way to navigate through the complexities. One inner voice tells you to hold your breath and remain motionless until the current stress passes. The other voice tells you to run away as fast as possible. However, neither of these strategies makes real sense. You are better off listening to the music and dancing to it the best you can, instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting for destiny to strike.
Learning new ways to increase your financial stability is usually a smart move, but it can now be a source of difficulty as the intensity of your desire to know more increases. You’re less likely to take someone else’s feelings into consideration if you stumble onto a brilliant idea. You must expand your knowledge base in order to fulfill your commitments. Pick a course of action and follow it instead of jumping around from one plan to another. For now, bite off less than you can chew.
The challenges in front of you should be taken very seriously now. It may be best to give yourself the luxury of more time, so lighten your load by finishing up old business and putting away completed projects. You might feel as if you’re taking your whole life through an eye of a needle today. There is too much to fit through such a small space so you need to let something go before you can create the future of your dreams.
Place all systems on high alert today so you can minimize any tension that has cropped up in your life. Part of the problem is that you may have already taken on too much responsibility. You have plenty of work to do now, yet you might not feel like working very hard. Even if you finish everything you promised, others might judge you harshly anyhow. The best bet is to satisfy yourself first before anyone else at this time.
You’re able to manage an extremely unusual mixture of energies today. On one hand, a high-strung emotional buzz sets you right at the edge. On the other hand, you feel grounded in reality and you know exactly what is going on. If you can control your emotions, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with no matter what cause you choose to defend. Knowing when to share your passion makes the difference between frustration and success.
[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.] On the one day each month when the Moon unites with Pluto in Capricorn (11:36AM), it is wise to tune into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration in order to avoid fiery debates or arguments with dear ones and associates. If angry sentiments start to simmer in your relationship realm, do all you can to create a harmonious environment for verbal give-and-take. On the other hand, it is also okay to become more of a hermit for several hours — around the exact time of the lunar merger with underworld-ruling Pluto — allowing you to study psychology or esoteric subjects without interference. Looking within for guidance is definitely something that makes sense with the Moon and Pluto in a dynamic rendezvous. In the meantime, the Sun makes a fairly rare conjunction with the largest asteroid — Ceres — at 26 degrees of Leo (5:49PM). Consider bold ways to increase productivity in your main fields of expertise. Go over your dietary and nutritional needs with a fine-tooth comb. Treat maternal figures with respect — if they deserve it and have been truly nurturing in your life. All mother-daughter relationships are in the spotlight.
Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things.

Saturday (Saturn): Longevity, exorcism, endings, homes and houses.
Waxing Moon
The Waxing Moon is the ideal time for magick to draw things toward you.
Moon Phase: Second Quarter
Moon Sign: Capricorn
Capricorn: Develops strong structure. Focus on traditions, responsibilities, and obligations. A good time to set boundaries and rules.
Incense: Ivy
Color: Brown
Our hopes are high today, but reality won’t let us get away with excessive fantasy. The upbeat Sagittarius Moon harmonizes with the proud Leo Sun, raising our expectations while romantic Venus shifts into relationship-oriented Libra, emphasizing our desires. But powerful solar aspects to strict Saturn and relentless Pluto can prompt power struggles. The erratic energy begins to settle down once the Moon enters steady Capricorn at 11:25 pm EDT.
You feel as if you can make progress on projects that are stalled now, but there’s still a complicated cocktail of cosmic disturbance to manage. You might not be able to actually put your plans into action yet, but you’re in a forward-thinking mode, nonetheless. Watch the signs carefully today; paying attention to your relationship dynamics ultimately helps you get to where you want to go.
It may seem out of character if you overreact, but everything feels extremely important today. You want to be sure that you aren’t missing anything that could negatively impact your progress. But it’s possible to overcompensate in your attempt to achieve perfection. If you find your emotions growing intense, taking a few steps back enables you to maintain a healthy perspective on your life.
Relationships are emphasized now, but the energy between you and others probably won’t be all that warm and fuzzy today. The connections can, however, be exciting and even adventurous, but the emotional aspects of your interactions might be temporarily relegated to the back burner. What’s more important now are the activities that you undertake together. Being a good companion allows you to have your fair share of fun at work or at play.
You might bring a rather unrealistic idea into your workplace today and your solutions could be more grandiose than the problems they seek to remedy. The good news is that, although you may be stressing over finding the right amount of passion to bring to the job, you still have a solid chance to strike the balance you need. Don’t give up; small steps in the right direction are better than none at all.
You’re feeling as if you’re on the top of the world today and it seems as if accomplishing anything should be as easy as just visualizing it and making a wish. Unfortunately, all your problems are not magically solved by simply thinking about them. Nevertheless, you can make progress on many fronts as long as you take a creative approach and apply your energy in a balanced manner.
It’s nearly impossible for you to gauge how much is enough today. You are pretty sure that your best strategy is to narrow your focus of vision, yet a loud inner voice tells you to widen your scope to get the largest possible view. It’s as if you are experiencing reality simultaneously through two different camera lenses. Instead of attempting to favor one perspective over the other, keep your options open for a while longer.
You may stress about what to say and what to keep secret now. Although your fantasies are more vivid than usual, it’s been easier to keep them to yourself. However, your key planet Venus makes her yearly return to your sign today, encouraging you to relax and share more of your inner world with those you trust. There are still some things that should be left unsaid, but don’t waste too much energy worrying about it. If it feels right, smile and say what’s in your heart.
Unfortunately, others might not understand the depth of your feelings now, so it’s better to keep them private. You may be cleansing the wounds of an emotional battle scar, whether it is quite recent or from your childhood. Thankfully, establishing boundaries and creating safe space gives you the room you need to honor your process. Heal quietly on your own or in the company of a trusted friend.
Your words pack more of an emotional punch now that the evocative Moon is back in your sign. But you might also notice that your feelings are in a state of flux. It’s as if your heart is attached to a kite, getting tossed around by the changing breezes. Controlling the sky is out of the question; you cannot harness the wind. Thankfully, going with the flow allows you to gain power and take charge when the turbulence settles down.
Although you’re unlikely to show all your cards today, you’re more motivated than anyone realizes. It’s not that you are specifically attempting to be secretive; it’s just that you know more than others think you do. Your knowledge is your secret weapon and you’ll be better off if you hold onto this advantage for a little while longer. The future will arrive sooner than you think.
The call of far-away places and great adventures beckons, but you may need more time to make your great escape happen. On one hand, this is a magical and dreamy phase when you can put your creative nature to good use. On the other hand, you need to monitor your daydreams or they could lure you down the wrong track. Ultimately, acknowledging your long-term desires is healthy as long as you remember to also be appreciative of your current set of circumstances.
You’re expected to do something at work that draws your energy away from what you prefer to be doing for yourself. Although it might be frustrating if you cannot find the time to attend to your personal needs, don’t panic. It’s all a matter of perspective. A change of attitude is all that’s required to make your present moment more enjoyable. Instead of putting your energy into unrealized dreams, find the magic in the here and now.
Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology
Although love planet Venus sails into relationship-oriented Libra on Friday and opens up greater harmony potential in partnership matters, this weekend the Moon will be in sober Capricorn, reminding us that romance isn’t exclusively what true love is made up of. Nope, with Capricorn, love is about sticking with each other through thick and thin. During the good times, it’s easy to be in love, but when the going gets rough … only true love will last.
On Saturday, the Moon will connect well to Saturn — the planet that naturally rules Capricorn. This link suggests a strong focus on the business side of partnership and marriage. Your practical side will be aroused and you may find yourself asking whether or not your mate is holding up his or her end of the bargain in your relationships as you’ve defined it. If the answer is no, then the good news is that this aspect will help you strategize effectively to ensure you and your mate are both getting what you want and what you need. In fact, by the time the Moon links up to Pluto on the same day, you’ll make sure of it!
On Sunday there might be a certain amount of tension — particularly if you find you or your mate is distracted by work. An argument is possible if you’ve been taking home too many of the problems at the office thanks to the volatile opposition between the Moon and Mars. Remember to separate work and home life on your days off as much as possible. No days off? Hmmm … maybe it’s time for a change.
[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.] You may want to get going with key errands and plans early today as Mercury forms a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree link to Pallas (5:51AM) while Venus enters one of its two home signs — Libra (8:38AM). The Mercury-Pallas rapport is a boost for problem-solving, strategy sessions and research. Venus in Libra — until September 10 — is great for artists, musicians, dancers, fashion designers and anyone desiring to put their creative stamp within their societal niche. A flowing trine in fire signs between the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Leo (10:33AM) is a vitality-producer in the couple of hours before it happens. However, once it becomes exact, this Moon-Sun connection becomes a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 8:26PM. During the void lunar dispensation, you can raise your productivity I.Q. via a Moon-Ceres trine (11:41AM) while serious research can bear fruit due to the Sun making an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Saturn (12:04PM). An additional psychic monkey-wrench comes in the form of an abrasive, 135-degree contact from the Sun to Pluto (5:19PM). Treat dear ones and friends with respect. Use words to heal — not harm and critique. Once the Moon leaves void status in Sagittarius by entering Capricorn at 8:26PM, think more about novel ways to reach important career milestones. Remember that hard work and perseverance are the dynamic duo that will eventually bring about huge professional rewards down the road.
Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.

Have fun and remember to share this with your friends to see their name!
The irrepressible fire of our spirit and the power of our intentions propel the arrows of our thoughts into the distant future. Today’s inspirational Sagittarius Moon transforms everyone into an honorary Archer with his or her bow drawn tight and arrow aimed at the far horizon. Meanwhile, the Moon trines unconventional Uranus and interactive Mercury, arousing our curiosity and encouraging communication that opens doors to unexplored territory.
Although you may entertain big dreams of amazing adventures, the routine drudgery of work calls today and you must answer. However, planning your getaway is not a very smart strategy. Forget about all your lofty ideas and focus on exactly what is expected of you now, leaving the great escape for some other day. You will have something tangible to celebrate once your work is done.
An ambitious plan won’t necessarily lead to success because you may not have the patience required to pull it off today. Of course, you want to be seen as reliable, yet you’re still willing to attempt something new, even if it means putting your reputation at risk. Taking a calculated chance is probably a good idea now as long as you don’t gamble with more than you’re willing to lose.
People may tell you tall tales and you might actually believe them, so make sure to verify everything you hear today. Take the time to discover how reality differs from what others are saying now. Listen in between the spoken words so you don’t miss what’s being left out. It’s best to know the shortcomings of a plan before you endorse it. Remember, even when something sounds really good, there is still more to the story than meets the ear.
Doing your job the same way you do it every other day is not a viable option today. You’re eager to try something radically different, but it’s hard to know the best method unless you test a few of them out. Ask your co-workers for their input since someone else can evaluate your work from a different perspective. Even a small procedural change could be enough to increase your efficiency and bring you more satisfaction.
Emotional obstacles may appear in your immediate surroundings today, even when you’re doing everything just right. However, don’t admit defeat too soon, for your current problems can be easily overcome if you face them with confidence. There’s no need to bury unresolved issues from your past; embrace your shortcomings by accepting who you and where you came from. You cannot change the current situation by reinventing your history. Instead, create your future by cultivating your dreams.
Your life seems to be moving too fast these days, yet you really do have the power to slow it down. However, modifying your calendar is tougher than you think. Canceling activities that are already on your schedule enables you to decrease the noise in your life by reducing the internal stress. A firm commitment to meditate or practice yoga for a few minutes every day might be all that’s needed to see for yourself what is possible.
You may mislead yourself today by acting on your hopes instead of paying attention to the current situation. You can further mix up fantasy with reality by trying to convince others to believe in everything that seems real to you. A relationship that is based on blind optimism or unproven assumptions might lead you astray. However, initiating conversations with your friends helps you ascertain the truth. Set your dreams aside now and stick strictly to the facts.
You know what’s expected of you today, but you may have other things that you would rather do. Meeting your obligations can be draining because you don’t want to waste your time on anything that’s not important to you. Conserve your energy to connect with a special someone or just to enjoy some downtime by yourself. Paradoxically, maintaining sensible boundaries now widens your horizons in the long run.
Sharing your feelings today may be rather exhausting, but it also can create moments of intimacy as you expand your social sphere of influence. You might prefer being less emotional, talking philosophically about ideas and events instead of discussing your changing moods. Remember, it’s healthier to express what’s in your heart now, even if you aren’t exactly sure yet why you’re doing it. A spontaneous connection could end up being the highlight of your day.
Keeping your emotions to yourself can seem like a sensible thing to do, especially if they are standing in your way of being effective. However, you are happier and even more productive at work today if you don’t suppress your feelings. Although it isn’t wise to overwhelm your associates with your inner process, don’t be afraid to share the truth. There won’t be any regrets later if your disclosures are on a need-to-know basis. Others will appreciate the opportunity to open up about their feelings, too.
Inviting a few friends over for a social gathering sounds like a great idea today. However, it might not be prudent to call everyone you know, for they all could show up all at once, transforming your idea for a casual little get-together into a major event. If you choose to go forward with your party, remember to give yourself enough time before for planning and after for recovery.
You’re eager to take care of nearly everyone at work now that the Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Responsibility. You have a high level of dedication and are willing to be an integral part of a team. Unfortunately, there’s also so much going on in your private life today that relationships may be quite demanding. Luckily, you don’t need to choose between the personal and business dimensions of your life. You can sustain both worlds if you simply devote your mind and heart to it.
