Astrology of Thursday, August 22nd 2019

Thursday begins with a talkative Moon-Mercury square which pushes communications and calculations, but slows to a more plodding, though not unpleasant, pace as the day wears on. The Moon’s sextile with Neptune sprinkles a jot of fairy-dust over the morning hours and the Moon-Pluto trine during the afternoon infuses with a touch of intensity, but neither serves to significantly modify Thursday’s steady gait.

Late night, however, brings a significant shift. The Sun enters Virgo during the wee hours. In the Virgin’s sign, our star’s light falls on the details of material existence, illuminating daily duties, to-do lists, and making clear the state of the physical body. The Sun in Virgo is grounded, analytic, and pushes for both assessment and problem-solving. The Sun will be in Virgo until September 23rd.
