On August 13th the Sun at 21º Leo Trines Saturn in Sagittarius. Saturn always brings things into form and the Sun’s Trine makes it easy work for you.
On August 14th we have the 22º25’ Taurus Last Quarter Moon Square the Sun and Mars in Leo. Helping you release excess baggage that can hold you back from realizing the potential available with the Leo Lunar Eclipse in one week’s time.
The Taurus Last Quarter Moon also makes auspicious, fortunate connections with Neptune in Pisces, Venus in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn. Good feelings are available when you follow your heart and do what you know is the right thing.
On August 15th Venus at 17º Cancer Opposes Pluto in Capricorn. The Opposition can represent your need to face a hidden fear and become more empowered. This can feel like you’re being bullied or a power struggle within yourself or with someone else.
On August 16th Venus’s Opposition to Pluto is also forming a T-Square now. As Venus moves to 18º Cancer she perfectly Squares Jupiter in Libra. The T-Square is active starting at the Mercury Station Retrograde on August 12th and peaks today, the 16th.

VOID OF COURSE MOON PERIODS
The moon represents your emotional needs. Your emotions fluctuate with the moon as it moves through its 28-day cycle around the zodiac from new moon to full and back to new. Notice how the moon’s placement in the zodiac affects your mood and emotions. Essential oils can help stabilize your mind and emotions. Generally earthy scents have the most harmonizing and stabilizing effects on the emotions.
These are great periods for taking it easy and going with the flow of events and completing projects. During Void of Course Moons your emotional body is going through a period of processing and integrating your recent experiences. You naturally clear out your emotions during these periods. Doing things that helps with this natural process are especially helpful now, i.e. relaxation, yoga, movement, hot baths with sea salts and essential oils, focused breathing.
Void of Course Moon Phases are not good for starting new projects, or launching new ventures, or having meetings (if you want to achieve anything), or signing contracts and making agreements as it’s less likely anything will come of any agreement, or it will be sluggish and slow to start.
For your New and Full Moon Rituals make sure the Moon is not Void of Course and in aspect to another celestial body when doing your ritual for best results.
- On August 13th we have a 3+ hour Void of Course Moon from 1:01am to 3:40am PT when the Aries Moon moves into the sign of Taurus.
- On August 14th we have a 13 hour Void of Course Moon from 6:15pm to 7:06am PT on August 15th when the Taurus Moon enters the sign of Gemini.
- On August 17th we have a 3 hour Void of Course Moon from 6:38am to 9:13am PT on when the Gemini Moon enters the sign of Cancer.
