8/29-We may say too much today as chatty Mercury forms an anxious alignment with bountiful Jupiter. However, we might not be as clear as we think now that the Sun opposes confusing Neptune, blurring our senses and muddling boundaries. Instead of seeing things rationally, we are looking at reality through rose-colored glasses that allow our subjectivity to alter our perceptions. Meanwhile, the fair-minded Libra Moon reflects our need to be objective. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/26-The fires of creativity and romance may be subdued today, even if they have been burning brightly as pleasure-seeking Venus continues prancing through radiant Leo. Our warmth temporarily cools as amorous Venus dynamically squares restrictive Saturn, changing the tone of our desires and forcing us to acknowledge the serious side of love and money. Meanwhile, the sensitive Moon continues her journey through critical Virgo, focusing our attention on the small details of life. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/25- Today’s perfectionist Virgo New Moon sends mixed messages from the cosmos today. The wildly expressive Venus-Uranus trine awakens unconventional desires and tempts us to act on our unpredictable feelings. However, we hit a wall when hot Mars runs into cold Saturn in powerful Scorpio, stopping irresponsible behavior in its tracks. Fortunately, clear communication saves the day as messenger Mercury joins in to support Mars and Saturn. #astrologerjoe

New Moon Outlook- Busy nervous energy abound -8/25/2014

Untitled

8/23- We begin a new astrological month as the Sun enters discriminating Virgo, doing the right thing becomes more of a priority now. We’re pickier about which thoughts we express now as we filter out excess noise. Although the air begins to cool, along with our passions, we’re not quite ready to let go of the playful midsummer energy with the Moon lingering in expressive Leo. Additionally, we’re still on edge from this morning’s anxious Mars-Uranus connection. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/20-We are particularly sensitive to emotional shifts now that the reflective Moon has entered moody Cancer. However, in romance and creativity, actions speak louder than words with three planets still in affectionate Leo, including amorous Venus. Nevertheless, communicator Mercury requires us to stick with the facts as it speeds through practical Virgo. Acknowledging our feelings is healthy, but keeping them in perspective is even better. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/18-We may not be satisfied today as the curious Gemini Moon puts us in touch with our need for a variety of experiences. Additionally, sensual Venus’ rendezvous with excessive Jupiter in heartfelt Leo stirs up good will and optimism in love. However, the pitfall is our tendency to overindulge, so it’s important to respect sensible limits concerning food, drink and money. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/17-Finding the proper balance between sharing our feelings and revealing too much requires extra effort today. We may not say anything about our emotions while the Moon is in steadfast Taurus, but we grow overly chatty once the Moon enters witty Gemini at 6:41 pm EDT. Meanwhile, romantic Venus creates an awkward aspect with compassionate Neptune, making it difficult to separate our personal attractions from those driven by more spiritual concerns. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/16- Everything may appear calm on the surface today, but hidden complexities are revealed throughout the day. The simplistic Taurus Moon isn’t as easygoing as we expect since she draws intensity from her trine to Pluto. Relationship dynamics are tricky now that the Moon opposes passionate Mars and calculating Saturn later this evening. However, an honest conversation shows our vulnerability and opens the door to possible romance. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/11- Our sharp perceptions grow mushier today as the Moon shifts into surreal Pisces. It seems as if the distinct edges of reality begin to blur, encouraging us to fill in the fog with our overactive imaginations. Later this evening the Moon joins nebulous Neptune, making it tougher to find the truth. Everything has a subjective hue now that we’re filtering reality through familiar fantasies and fears. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/10- Today’s Full Moon in Aquarius is the second Super Moon (closest to Earth) of three this year. Normally the opposition of the Moon in friendly Aquarius to the Sun in playful Leo is often a time to celebrate. However, stern Saturn in skeptical Scorpio will stressful square this lunation; forcing us to over-react to any restrictions or withdrawing from involvement with others or authoritarian individuals. A more effective application of these planetary patterns is to concentrate on gathering the resources and establishing the efficiency needed to turn big concepts into reality. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/9- We cannot escape from the hard work in front of us today as the willful Sun is squared by responsible Saturn. Furthermore, the Moon enters into futuristic Aquarius, acting as a counterbalance to the cautious Saturn energy. We can see many possibilities, even if we can’t reach our goals yet. Learning patience is certainly one of the lessons of the day. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/8-We feel a heightened sense of urgency today as the dramatic Leo Sun harmoniously trines electric Uranus. Mischievous Mercury is also in the mix, suddenly bringing hidden tensions out into the open and upsetting the status quo. We don’t know what’s around the next corner and think that we can say nearly anything. However, a cosmic countercurrent brings regret if we speak without considering the consequences when Mercury squares karmic Saturn. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/7- Reality may be elusive today, but we might experience magical moments as the energies of warrior-planet Mars are dispersed in Neptune’s surreal ocean. Mars is speeding through passionate Scorpio now, reminding us that some emotions are more intense than others and that the more powerful ones can be difficult to process. The Moon’s shift into calculating Capricorn at 9:38 am EDT could make us work even harder as we strive to accomplish our goals. #astrologerjoe

Planet sounds from NASA Space...Cool

8/6- We are still riding an uplifting wave of energy rolling in from the optimistic Sagittarius Moon. However, we will need to stop and evaluate our odds for success before we take risks; an awkward Mercury-Pluto alignment warps our perspectives. Fortunately, the Moon forms a harmonious Grand Fire Trine with the expressive Leo Sun and ingenious Uranus in independent Aries. A positive outcome is indicated as long as we maintain a sense of balance. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/5-We’re ready to take risks now, especially if we see an opportunity that might lead to a memorable experience. We feel the upsurge of positive energy as the Moon has shifted into inspirational Sagittarius. However, blindly pursuing our desires isn’t the best strategy today because pleasure-seeking Venus forms an awkward aspect with foggy Neptune. Nevertheless, the Moon’s sweet trine to joyful Jupiter rewards generous behavior. #astrologerjoe

Untitled

8/4-Our emotions are quite intense today as the passionate Scorpio Moon puts us in direct contact with our needs. The thrill can be palpable if our souls dance with someone else’s, but we’re terrified by the thought of being vulnerable. A supernatural Mercury-Pluto connection enables us to use language to conjure up a bit of magic. Thankfully, we receive help from a sweet Moon-Venus trine that promotes an easy flow of feelings between us and those we love. #astrologerjoe

8/2-Maintaining a balanced perspective can be problematic today, even as the Moon continues to transit objective Libra. We may inadvertently turn molehills into mountains as mischievous Mercury joins magnifying Jupiter and squares macho Mars. Although our ideas might be overamplified, the Moon’s shift into passionate Scorpio at 10:56 pm EDT complicates life by bringing emotions into the picture. Positive change is possible if we don’t suppress our deeper feelings. #astrologerjoe

8/1-We have a new set of planetary energies to assimilate today with talkative Mercury’s two-week visit to proud Leo. Our confidence soars as warrior Mars squares bombastic Jupiter, and we may be so sure of our opinions that we grow stubborn in our self-defense. Although the gracious Libra Moon encourages us to seek balance, we are torn between rebellious actions and responsible self-restraint as Venus aligns with radical Uranus and stabilizing Saturn. #astrologerjoe
