Today's Astrology Forecast | Thursday, August 12th, 2021 - pick your battles, when over-helping isn't helpful, maybe good enough is good enough or then again maybe it isn't, what's most important


 

 

The Moon is in Libra now - we are nurtured/nourished through our relationships, partners, balance, peace, fairness. Her only aspect; a smooth trine to a retrograde Saturn in Aquarius. Good for re-balancing group goals, our friendships, our causes, online interests, our connection to the collective. 


This is also the day Mars (in Virgo) squares Juno (in Sagittarius) and Venus (also in Virgo) opposes a retrograde Pallas (in Pisces). The Mars/Juno might speak of our precise/practical actions or fixes not sitting so well with a partner or within a contract or with a woman. Or maybe one person is being practical and the other one is all 'pie-in-the-sky' hopes and dreams. At the same time, Venus, also in Virgo, wants everything to be correct and orderly and Pallas in Pisces is more forgiving/creative/nonspecific/maybe impractical. What we want (details) may not line up with our plans or someone else's (which might be more "free-flowing", creative or lalaland).


With Virgo squares and oppositions any Virgo nitpicking (maybe even over-helping) can put us at odds with other people. 

 

The Moon's trine to Saturn is the way through - detach a bit, be polite/fair, don't overthink the situation, gather any needed intelligence, seek balance and emotional maturity. This is an air trine - so talk/think/communicate/be social. Keep in mind Saturn is retrograde, so whatever this is, old responsibilities/commitments will likely play a part. Keep in mind, too, the Venus/Pluto from yesterday is still in play and the Moon is answering to Venus now. Some old relationships/commitments may be ending. We might have to release our need to control everything/get it all just right. Focus on what is most important and on what is falling into place.
