SATURDAY, 8/29/2020: There is some danger today of facing rigidly imposed external decrees which impose particularly arbitrary and unreasonable restriction. At the same time, there is such a strong intensity to break free of restriction, the end result may create an extremely dangerous standoff. The Moon goes void-of-course early this afternoon, at 12:30 PM PDT. Authority quickly loses focus and resolve, while individual direction seems to take over. Mercury’s trine to Jupiter today allows us to look at this tense atmosphere with a philosophical perspective.
The moon in Capricorn connects with both Pluto and Saturn this morning, creating an intense and goal-oriented vibe. This aspect can cause obsessiveness around goals, status, and work that can verge on the unhealthy due to an opposition with Venus. There is a danger that your drive and dedication concerning certain accomplishments could blind you when it comes to matters of the heart and throw you off balance. Insecurity around failure could be magnified, and bringing yourself to a calmer, more gentle state may feel like work.
Others in our close relationships may not be able to understand or relate to this mental state, and there’s a risk that problems might ensue because of this. You’ll also want to keep an eye out for controlling behaviors in both you and others. There is also some potential for maternal issues, so try to avoid any confrontations with your mother.
As we move into the afternoon, a quincunx between the north node and the moon could inspire you to talk out or work through any issues. Unfortunately, this aspect has a choppy flow, and the disconnect you’re feeling with others may not heal as easily as you’d like.
By nightfall, the moon moves into Aquarius, pushing you to a brink that could end in a blowout or an “agree to disagree” handshake. Whichever direction you choose to go, you’ll be feeling a lot lighter by bedtime. It’s an emotionally difficult day today, so remember to breathe!

SUNDAY, 8/30/2020: There is a great deal of growth possible today, as we look for ways to expand our boundaries and break free of traditional ideas and approaches. The general sentiment is somewhat tentative as we quietly look for comfortable ways to cautiously explore our options. This is a fluid, curious, mercurial atmosphere which keeps our thoughts moving rapidly. One piece of information leads to another in an exciting process. Flexibility is required in order to make the most of what is offered here.
The Aquarius moon forms a sextile with Chiron today, putting you in a hyper and wacky mood. A quincunx between the sun and moon may make it difficult to get a handle on your identity, so just let your freak flag fly and try not to think too much about it. Everyone needs to blow off a little steam after yesterday’s intense energy, so if you need to get a little weird, get a little weird.
A square between the moon and Uranus this afternoon threatens to dismantle your sense of stability, so try not to go too far off the rails. It’s a good day to be a bit wild, but don’t cross any boundaries or shove your ideas down the throats of others. An opposition between Mercury and Neptune means your brain may not be firing on all cylinders, so don’t put yourself in any situation that could become dangerous or cause harm to your health.
As we head into evening, the moon travels through the sky without any major aspects, giving you the freedom to release your inhibitions and indulge your creative side. Get your hands wet with paint, get crazy with your makeup, write a silly song, or dance like a lunatic. It’s okay to be your weirdest self tonight, so have a blast while you do it!
