8/23 (Mon). Are you experiencing jangling nerves, tapping foot syndrome or nervous tics? The less desirable manifestations of a Sun-Uranus quincunx can be alleviated by making adjustments to follow your intuitive flashes!
        The Sun enters Virgo today. Good timing, too: with all the intense things that have been going on this month, we'll all need some of Virgo's organizational energy and attention to detail! Helpful service, another Virgo specialty, will be appreciated by many at this time.
        Law of Attraction aficionados may find their visualizations receiving some extra sparkle, thanks to today's Saturn-Neptune biquintile. (Neptune supports visualization and imagination, while Saturn supports physical manifestation.)

8/24 (Tue). The August Full Moon peaks on the 24^th at 1:04 PM (1°25' Pisces). Even more than most Piscean Full Moons, this is a time to feel how well you're able to connect with Spirit and receive the flow of creative inspiration and intuitive guidance.
        This Full Moon is intensified by aspects to all of the Cardinal Climax planets: it conjuncts Neptune, semi-sextiles Jupiter and Uranus, sextiles Pluto and quincunxes Saturn. However, since the most challenging hard angles are not represented, the energetic intensification should only be moderate.
        The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is, "A squirrel hiding from hunters." While this might initially bring up thoughts of fear and imminent doom, isn't it true that we must all face physical death eventually? Perhaps a message we can take from this is to adopt a squirrel's naturally playful disposition, no matter what grim possibilities might seem to be hounding us. 
        Happiness is fundamentally a state of mind, largely independent of one's temporal situation. Truly, the physical world is the most illusory realm of all -- everything in it is impermanent and will eventually perish, even entire galaxies and the Universe itself. Only in the spiritual realms do we experience our fundamental immortality. So, while the secreted squirrel is taking appropriate cautionary measures to preserve its fleeting physical existence a bit longer, it has made sure to have a lot of fun, leaping amongst the trees, while in its little furball body. The Buddhists say that one cannot fully live until one has embraced the reality of one's own inevitable death -- and so, in a roundabout way, this Sabian Symbol -- "A squirrel hiding from hunters" -- can be a wake-up call to a more rich and fulfilling life.

8/26 (Thu). Step out and serve with your full primal power as the Virgoan Sun trines Pluto today.

8/28 (Sat). Relationships and finance get a boost of creative empowerment with Venus quintile Pluto.
