Today's Astrology Forecast | Wednesday, August 26, 2020 - doing what is right in front of us, revising our plans, when nothing is certain then anything is possible

The Moon in Sagittarius squared Mercury at 5:46AM EDT (something like truth spoken in jest or finding out things we don't want to know, saying too much, overthinking something) and then squares a retrograde Neptune at 7:42PM EDT (expansion, too much, lack of boundaries). Both aspects speak of tension today between the facts/details and our rose-colored glasses.

In the meantime Mercury is trining a retrograde Pallas in Capricorn (12 degrees). This is excellent energy to be "re"vising and "re"working our plans/strategies. Small changes to our "go-to" solutions can make a big difference. This won't be something that has to be pushed. Smooth integration.

Mars is trining (and this is going to be repeated two more times due to Mars upcoming retrograde) the South Node in Sag. More Sag! The South Node is where we are right now (and the past), so this is brave action we can take right now to either smoothly release something that is past its expiration date (maybe a belief about what we can have or what we have to do to get what we want) or push something that is already happening/has been happening further along. What do we need to do that takes action/courage?

There is a strong energetic right now - as we head into a whole new world - that will make things we don't want anymore feel like they are eating us alive. Life/God/the Universe is saying something like, "I don't want you to do anymore of this thing you don't want to do." And we are like, "but this is what I have to do, this is what I do". And then we keep doing it. And then the pressure gets kicked up another level to make us not do the thing we don't want to do.

There is also a strong energetic right now - as we head into a whole new world - a need to uproot any lack of appreciation of where we are now/this kind of greed for more, that used to push us forward/fuel our ambitions, but isn't going to work in the new world. Jupiter in Capricorn is putting the stakes through the heart of this - which is why this kind of stuff feels so meaningless/bottomless anymore. We can't have it all. And as a trade-off we are released from receiving any satisfaction from our attempts to.

There is a divine reason for the necessary fuzziness/inability to see what lies ahead.

There is a reason the South Node must be in Sag (knowledge, beliefs) for this transition. The last thing any of us need right now is certainty. Imagine yourself a quarterback in the most important game of the season. The crowds are on their feet. Your teammates eyes are on you. Your hands are on the ball. Imagine the tension/the power of that moment. Now imagine one more thing. Imagine you already know the outcome of the game. Wouldn't that change everything? So, you don't get to know that.

For today, because one day at a time is what we get here - think about re-vising old plans/strategies through facts/details and smallish tweaks (maybe to your schedule, routine, etc), taking action/initiative with something on your plate right now. Just instead of focusing on having more/or something overly ambitious, keep the focus on what you know you need to be doing right now/what feels right.

The Moon is in Sag connecting us to benevolent Jupiter, offering us hope and faith (and, yes, making us a wee bit or maybe alot restless) - let's allow ourselves some of that, too, now. Hope, faith and restlessness - everyone gets a seat at the table. Keep this in mind.
