Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Virgo, August 18, 2023

Moon transiting Virgo, Friday, August 18th, may either test your patience and endurance, or lead you to question your rationale for waiting and persisting, as the moon joins Mercury conjunct Mars in Virgo, and together this planetary trio of feeling, thought, and action, form a quincunx aspect to Chiron conjunct the North Node in Aries, while opposing Neptune retrograde in Pisces, bisects the Grand Trine and Kite aspect pattern involving the moon, Mercury, and Mars in Virgo, Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus, Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, and Neptune in Pisces. The symbolism in the painting, “Allegory of Patience”, by Vasari, perfectly depicts the energy of today’s transits, offering food for thought, but I am limited in space here to share what you will read at wikipedia, so take the time to do so, if you can. Time IS of the essence – not just the present moment and how you choose to use it, but future time, as well. The sun conjunct Venus retrograde in Leo, opposing Saturn retrograde in Pisces, squaring Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus, and trine to Chiron conjunct the North Node in Aries, underline the serious and far-reaching effect of your emotions, thoughts, and actions, and serve to remind you that YOU are the person who gets to choose how you feel, think, and act. The Grand Trine and Kite can assist you through inspiration, empowerment, growth, and change.
