Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Libra, August 9, 2024

Moon transiting Libra, Friday, August 9th, highlights the image and character you wish to project both physically and emotionally to compensate for what you might perceive of as lack or flaws, or to mask the aspects of yourself which make you uncomfortable or cause you pain, as the moon in a Venus ruled sign associated with precision in beauty, and harmony in relationships, forms a Minor Grand Trine aspect pattern with Mars conjunct Jupiter in Gemini, and the sun in Leo, as well as an opposition to Chiron retrograde in Aries. You may feel it is necessary to present as perfectly as possible if you are being carefully scrutinized in your career or love life, or are in competition with others for a position or attention, due to Chiron forming trine aspects with the sun in Leo, and Venus conjunct Mercury retrograde in Virgo, which in turn are squaring Uranus in Taurus, and Mars/Jupiter in Gemini. You – and everyone else – may be putting on a confident display of specialness, and elegantly calm control, as Neptune in Pisces engages in a Minor Grand Trine with Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius, but while Saturn retrograde in Pisces squares Mars and Jupiter, and Pluto squares Chiron, practically no one, is as confident, poised, and perfect as they seem, yet nearly everyone is willing to take part in an unspoken agreement to play nicey-nice, complement the competition, and support projected illusions, while pointedly avoiding deep or disturbing issues. The energy of Mercury and Venus quincunx to Pluto presents as an analytical “should you, or shouldn’t you” dilemma over broaching intense topics or asserting needed boundaries. Will you offend and lose face, or will you be praised for expressing truth and authenticity? There is no right or wrong answer, and any decision made may be less than ideal, so choose what your conscience can live with.
