A trine between the moon and Neptune could make waking up difficult today, so try not to hit the snooze button too many times! The energy will be light and lofty, giving us the opportunity to enjoy a stress-free morning (as long as we don’t sleep in too late). The Moon is void-of-course this morning from 4:23 AM PDT until 9:38 AM PDT. Once the Moon arrives in Sagittarius, we can begin to recognize significant changes that have occurred since the beginning of the week in a way that offers tangible support to respond effectively. Insecurity may give way to indecision if we haven’t already developed an overall vision for a future that we want to manifest. We may struggle to define the correct boundaries between what we want and what others are attempting to achieve. The processes that have begun in the past few weeks, as Jupiter, Chiron, and soon Uranus, have turned retrograde, will not complete quickly.
A pleasant aspect between the moon and Pluto gives us a boost of energy, so be sure to spread some joy around as you move through the day. If you’re especially empathic, people might come to you for healing through conversation. Make sure to set boundaries for yourself, and cut the talk short if you begin to feel tired or drained.
Pluto blows a kiss to the moon and Neptune today as well, making it a great day to release frustrations that are no longer serving you. By leaning into transformation and emotional growth, we can evolve both personally and psychically.
It’s also a great time to daydream about your future. Think big today about your long-term goals. The moon is helping you find structure in your dreams and goals, so jot down a list of things you’d like to do and how you’ll accomplish them.

DAILY ORACLE
32 | Hawk Spirit | Let your spirit be your guide.
Flying high above the landscape, the hawk sees both the big picture and the small details, observes the rain and the pond as well as the cloud, and doesn’t miss anything.
When Hawk Spirit arrives, you are called to pay close attention to messages from Spirit that can appear anywhere in any form. Listen to your intuition and keep your eyes open for synchronicities—the meaningful coincidences.
Hawk Spirit asks you not to dismiss the signs that Spirit is sending to guide you. Lately, have you been hearing the same word or song, or coming across the same symbol here, there, and in the strangest places? Perhaps you hear a song on the radio with just the right lyric pertaining to your query, or you begin to notice uncanny billboards, license plates, or other places where repetitive numbers or words show up for you to notice.
Pay attention to the animals that appear for you, and connect with their symbolism. Spirit wants to communicate and reaches out again and again. When Hawk Spirit appears, it is a sign to listen.
2022 LUNAR CALENDAR
AUGUST 12: FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS (STURGEON MOON): Your relationship with your emotions might be more complicated, because Moon in Aquarius has a strong need for emotional freedom. However, when you are in a group of people, it is easier for you to understand your feelings and free yourself from negative emotions such as fear, anger and jealousy.
AUGUST 19: LAST QUARTER MOON IN TAURUS: Your safety depends on the need for stability, which is not easy to satisfy now. You have to learn to accept change as part of your life. The basic problem is finding your own self-respect in order to ensure that you do not mistakenly seek it in material things. When you accept yourself for who you are, it will become easier for you to find peace and tranquility in the outside world.
AUGUST 27: NEW MOON IN VIRGO: Your feeling of safety is now related to order and clarity, even in emotions. You may have the need to organise everything chaotic and disorganized. Try being more tolerant and accept imperfections of life. It is better to trust life and let it run its own way, not everything must be according to our expectations.
