August 17th: Astrological Influences: Emotional Sensitivity and Intuition

The Moon is in Scorpio, a sign that Mars rules, and Mars is in Cancer, a sign that the Moon rules. In other words, they are transposed. Mars in Cancer is overprotective and sensitive, while the Moon in Scorpio is also overly sensitive. Both Cancer and Scorpio are water signs and Yin, but Cancer wants to nurture others and be in a safe environment. Scorpio seeks strong emotional support and is intense. Both are Yin, so they are intuitive.

Pluto is square the Moon in Scorpio, which can amplify problems or make them small. Pluto transforms what it touches, but first there is decay, and then the rebuilding. It brings to light problems that have been in the dark.

Venus is in Libra, making aspects to Saturn in Aries and to Mercury and Jupiter. It’s time to make a realistic to-do list and let go of the unrealistic expectations. Venus in Libra is ready to enjoy life once you get business done.

Neptune square to Mars is confused about the day: what is real and what is false. Let your intuition make choices today.
