Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Cancer, August 23, 2022

Moon transiting Cancer, Tuesday, August 23rd, highlights letting go of fear, or a need to be in control, so that change and transformation can work some magic in your life as the moon forms a trine aspect to Neptune in Pisces, a sextile to Uranus conjunct the North Node in Taurus, an opposition to Pluto in Capricorn, and a quincunx aspect to Saturn in Aquarius. Yesterday, the sun spent its last day in the fixed fire sign of creative, playful, and dramatic Leo, and today it is beginning its month long journey in the mutable earth sign of pragmatic, service oriented, problem solving Virgo. Often when a planet changes signs, you will notice that your perspective changes in whatever area of life the planet is visiting in your own natal chart. Today, the sun is a catalyst for testing something untried or unproven as it opposes Saturn in Aquarius and forms a square aspect with Mars in Gemini. Skepticism that comes from an “I’ll show you this isn’t real/won’t work for me/impossible” attitude could motivate you to try an alternative method or choose a different path just to refute it, due to Mercury in Virgo opposing Neptune in Pisces – bisecting the Kite pattern of Mercury, Pluto, Uranus and the North Node, and Neptune. But Pluto in Capricorn sextile to Neptune to Pisces, and Venus in Leo trine to Jupiter in Aries can bring surprising success if you approach challenges with a sense of adventure and trust that there is a creative force bigger than you, expressing through you, which can make anything possible. In the process of trying to disprove something today, you may discover that it actually works. Rather than affirming problems through declaration, rephrase the statement as a question seeking an answer – then let go.
