Current Moon Phase

First Quarter Moon | August 3

The Sun is in the roots, feelings and emotional tides of nurturing (sidereal) Cancer and the Moon is in the partnerships, communication and karmic rebalance of diplomatic (sidereal) Libra at our August Quarter Moon.

During this month's waxing quarter moon phase, there is a dawning awareness of how recent experiences, in particular the emotional intensity of these experiences, have changed us and we have the objectivity now to sort through the pearls of wisdom gained from this awareness and also to heal and release what we no longer wish to carry forward with us during the First Quarter Moon Phase.

Imagination is strong now and we can use it to our advantage to work through things and work out the details and analyze the finer points that need to be addressed. Innovative thoughts and ideas that are of practical use are a highlight of this month's waxing Moon hemi-cycle.

Mercury joins Jupiter by conjunction in Cancer this weekend and Late Saturday and early Sunday as we approach the Moon square Sun of the First Quarter Moon we'll be feeling the tension and motivation for change as the Moon in Libra joins Ceres, Vesta and Mars and activates the square between Mars and Mercury-Jupiter in Cancer.

We move into the second quarter of our Lunar month and journey with the waxing quarter Moon on Sunday evening at 5:50 pm (San Diego) 8:50 pm (New York) 1:50 am (London), August 4, and 6:50 am (Sydney). There is a grounding, stable energy with the Moon joining Saturn late Sunday evening (pdt - San Diego) .

It's a pretty mellow day on Monday. A good day to reach out and connect with others with the Moon in the partnerships and communication of (sidereal) Libra and harmoniously connecting with Venus (ruler of Libra) in chatty, changeable, youthful (sidereal) Gemini.

Emotional energy shifts from the partnerships and communication of Libra (air) and into the deep transforming emotional tides of (sidereal) Scorpio at 6:15 pm (pdt - San Diego) on Monday evening. Helping us to get beneath the emotional surface of things and see (and feel) what is really going on for the next few days .

The moon's monthly journey through Scorpio is always a bit intense, but things lighten up considerably this month with the Moon making harmonious connections with Jupiter, Mercury and the Sun in (sidereal) Cancer and Uranus in Pisces as she moves through Scorpio on August 5 & 6th

Time to turn an emotional corner and set our plans in motion as we move into the First Quarter Moon Phase.

Hope your week gets off to a terrific start.
