Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Cancer, August 22, 2022

Moon transiting Cancer, Monday, August 22nd, triggers feelings of deprivation or physical and emotional fatigue that could be an effect of the weight of your responsibilities, and the care you feel obliged to give to others, as the moon forms a square aspect with Jupiter retrograde in Aries. Even if your job pays well or your role as a caretaker is rewarding, there can be an inner sense of “What about me?”, and the Grand Trine and Kite aspect patterns involving Mercury in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus, Mars in Gemini, and Neptune in Pisces, could be stimulating “what if” fantasies of the freedom or fresh feeling of an alternate life. Perhaps you are already on a path which will eventually bring you into that new life you may crave today, but a T-square involving Uranus in Taurus, Venus in Leo, and Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, as well as the sun at the final degree of Leo opposing Saturn and squaring Mars, all indicate you are still on a stressful hero’s quest with tasks and challenges in front of you before you can claim the prize or the proof of mastery necessary to elevate you to the next level. While Mercury is opposing Neptune, you may be disappointed when you expect others to see and intuit your needs – and they don’t – so, use your words to ask for help or to tell people why you need a time out. If you recognize you are overwhelmed, tired, or hungry, prioritize self-care, so that you have the emotional and physical energy and the positive attitude necessary to be of service to others. If you are dealing with moody coworkers or clients, be aware that they may have stress in their personal life. Unhappy children may need some quiet time alone with you. Most people are overwhelmed now by too many demands on their time, and they simply want some recognition, encouragement, thanks, or a helping hand, but just as the airline host tells you to put your oxygen mask on before assisting others, you must care for yourself first.
