The Acceptance of Our Human Complexities
This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact late on Monday morning; Mercury’s Station phase finally ends on Tuesday (though it is still in retrograde); Mercury re-enters Leo on Wednesday evening and aligns with the Sun in Leo late Sunday evening. Lastly, Saturday evening starts the build up towards the Full Moon in Aquarius.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early morning, Thursday early afternoon, and Saturday late afternoon, all of them roughly an hour long.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Aug. 12th:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early morning. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest.
Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us.
This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Monday late morning, the first Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact at 11:19am EDT. The Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing, intensely-feeling, private Scorpio makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in fun-loving, extroverted, attention-seeking, proud Leo. We feel compelled to take action.
Last week on Aug. 4th, the New Moon in Leo was exact: “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world.
This is, therefore, a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.
As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of Scorpio, Leo, Taurus, or Aquarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Monday late afternoon/early evening, we are invited to make some inner adjustments: we feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice — a choice that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges. On the one hand, we have the urge to go deeper and connect with others; on the other hand, we are more aware of triggers and limitations connected to old childhood wounds.
As best as you can, be compassionate and understanding with yourself when feelings of anger come up (and even if shame follows expressions of that anger). Ask yourself: How might 5% more compassion support my relationship with myself and others today?(Moon in Scorpio quincunxes Chiron in Aries, exact at 5:12pm EDT)
