Mercury knocking heads with Saturn today made for a difficult day to get some technical work done.  It was great for editing and revising.

Moon in Aries pushes us to be independent, but also impatient to stick things out. We may start things, but unable to finish because our heart's not into it any longer.

Try to be patient and reflect upon the events of today through meditating and being mindful of the reasons why things went the way they did.

*Meditate today on things that you can control and don't lose hope.*

Today Mercury in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces causing some mental confusion and slow brain power.

We may be unable to make decisions and communicate clearly since we'll have opposing ideas at once, generally not practical.

As the Moon moves into Aries around dinner time, we'll find some enthusiasm and energy for our goals.

*Meditate today on your health and mindful eating in order to help your body build immunities.*

Today's a beautiful day to start off the workweek as the Sun enters Virgo until Sept. 21st and back to school for most.

Virgo's a practical hardworking earth sign that enjoys being of service to others and society. Often misjudged as being wallflowers, they can surprise you when they're relaxed in their secure home environment.

Ruled by Mercury, Virgos are often adept at long term goal planning and executing the steps needed to succeed.

As the Moon in Pisces helps us empathetically with our actions and words, we can maximize our communications potential and bottom line.

*Meditation today focuses on gratitude for the little things in life that over time become the BIG things -we truly live for.* 

Happy day as Mercury in Virgo meets up with Uranus in Taurus to come up with some new visionary ideas for our planet.

Take some time to enjoy this detached energy as the Moon in Aquarius will be here for 3 days, ending in a full moon on Sunday August 22nd.

The planets are encouraging us to leave emotions behind and work together practically to heal the wounds we've all inflicted on each other and the earth.

*Meditate on your spirituality today to strengthen your brain for when sadness hits and depression may set in.* 

Today's cosmic message is to slow down and review your work for the past few months to make sure you're own the right path.

As Uranus goes to nap for 5 months in Taurus, we can use this time to change our homes, relationships, and all things earthly.

Moon in Capricorn will meet up with Pluto in Capricorn and help us to detach from our emotions in order to move forward emotionally.

*Meditate on changing some thing that no longer serves you over the next 5 months in order to grow into a better more confident you.*

Things could feel heavy today as the practical Capricorn Moon moves in for the next couple of days to ground us.

Try to stay flexible and kind hearted when communicating with others or else feelings could be hurt.

Emotions are not really today's foray as the earth signs want accomplishments and rules to be the main focus as security is much needed.

*Meditate on mindfulness of speech and what and how you convey your thoughts -words can be translated in many ways.*

It's a bit of a cranky morning today as the Sun in Leo and Mercury in Virgo get checked by Pluto in Capricorn.

So - mental pessimism and lack of faith can easily slide into the prime mood for today.

As the Moon leaves Sagittarius tonight at bedtime for most of us, it will meet with Jupiter in Aquarius - detaching our emotions from the drama of today can be easier to accomplish.

*Meditate today on the small things that you take for granted, such as hot/cold running water for ALL your private needs.*

Monday is full of news and chaos as the world tries to understand all the disasters occurring at once.

As Venus enters Libra today, it's other home in an air sign, we will collectively wish for peace and friendship- at least until September 10th when it enters the dark deep angst of Scorpio's underworld.

By Thursday when Uranus takes its 5 month long nap until January 2022 in Taurus, we will all be fighting amongst ourselves on the correct humanitarian goals going forward into the new century.

We are already witnessing the trends for the future whereby some countries remain free and democratic, while others obey the government to set the structure of their hive lives.

As natural disasters reign havoc over all of our lives, we must learn to cooperate through our differences in order to save our common home- Earth.

*Meditate on the goodness and grace of humankind in order to help spread optimism.*
