Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Libra, August 19, 2023

Moon transiting Libra, Saturday, August 19th, brings an awareness of how and why you – or perhaps the person you are interacting with – act in certain ways in a relationship, revealing ulterior motives or insincerity, as the moon loosely conjunct Mars and Mercury in Virgo opposes Neptune retrograde in Pisces, forms a quincunx aspect with Saturn retrograde in Pisces, and taps into a Grand Trine and Kite aspect pattern with Mars/Mercury in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, and Neptune in Pisces. The sun and Venus retrograde in Leo, in a Yod pattern with both Neptune and Pluto, while opposing Saturn, and squaring Jupiter and Uranus, amplify wanting something or someone for all the wrong reasons, at any cost, with a zealous passion or greedy desire, which may lead to further persuasive or deceptive overtures – or could backfire and be seen as act. There are so many nuances at work, and potential scenarios that could play out, in relationship today. The Libra moon usually strives for cooperation and harmony, but Chiron and the North Node in Aries trine to Venus, and quincunx to Mercury, highlights “self”, more than the “other”. Be 100% true to yourself, and 100% honest in your interactions with others, even if it might cost you the relationship or something you hope to gain from it, because anything less will feel like not enough, or create tension and repulsion. If a compromise or win/win is not possible, be mindful of social etiquette in communication, and keep your words and tone civil and polite.
