There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.

Current Phase of the Moon for August 12

Last Quarter Moon

(waning/32% illumination)

The time of reaping is at hand. There is a feeling of completion infused into the atmosphere during the Last Quarter Moon. The opportunity opens to recognize how far you’ve come in various parts of your life. This is not a good time for new beginnings, but rather a reflective period suited to evaluating how you have been using your time and what has been accomplished. Issues of authority may arise. This Moon phase supports taking responsibility for actively tying up the loose ends of projects that are already underway.

Current Moon Phase for August 7 – Waning Gibbous Moon

Waning Gibbous Moon

(waning /62% illumination)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Aug. 4

If your emotional nature appears to be unsettled this morning, join the club. Millions of your fellow terra-firma dwellers are still recovering from yesterday’s Mars-Saturn and Mercury-Neptune clashes. Keep in mind that solar and planetary alignments on one day don’t just disappear 24 hours later. They may lessen in intensity, but they still have an ability to pull the rug out from under you if you are not careful.  Adding to a potential psychic storminess right now is Venus making a contra-parallel link to distant Pluto (8:59AM PDT). Being jealous, moody or temperamental won’t win rave reviews.  On the other hand, antique hunters and collectible aficionados can have a field day in locating nautical-oriented fine-art, books and treasures from the ocean depths under watery Pisces Moon. Immerse yourself in film or literary classics later on. Try out a new recipe for chowder or a favorite seafood dish.  Love vibrations are more upsetting than nurturing this evening as Juno makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Pluto (9:21PM PDT). Improvise with a musical instrument or dance the night away to relieve yourself of internal pressures.
