The BIG NEWS today is Mercury squares Jupiter for the second time this month. The first time was on Saturday, August 11th when the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo occurred. Now we experience this aspect for the second time just two days after the Full Moon in Pisces. It's not the New Moon or the Full Moon that is causing this 'Stretching of the Truth' or 'Truth Exaggeration'. This energy is occurring twice because Mercury was Retrograde in Leo on August 11th, it turned Direct on August 19th, which caused Mercury to do an about-face and retrace its steps thereby creating Mercury squares Jupiter for the second time.

Since this is the last major aspect in August 2018 and it is occurring for the second time, then take the time to see where you are exaggerating or stretching the Truth. If you notice from the Astro-Meme it says, "Based on a True story" but when the story is told and turned into a movie, there is creative license occurring to make the movie more exciting to appeal to the audience who is watching. Notice the storylines that stop you in your tracks that you 'decide' to tune into. Notice the storylines that you 'choose' to dial into. At any given time you can remove yourself from a scene in your own crazy drama storyline, but will you?

The day begins with the Moon still in Pisces until 12:35 PM EDT, which is why the first lunar aspect today impacts the Pisces Moon and not the Aries Moon. (See list of aspects below) The Moon sextile Mars will give you the energy you need to re-emerge from your monk mode state of mind and put you back out there making it all happen. Later on in the day, at 5:37 PM EDT the Moon will then square Saturn, which means the 'classic inferiority complex' kicks in. This aspect typically shows no Love from mommy and no Love from daddy. This aspect occurs twice a month so you may as well tune-in to the energy and get to know it well so you can slough it off everytime you feel its ugly face arise. Some will no doubt buy into the drama and retell their tired old story about how no one Loves them. This does not have to be you. That's a silly illusion anyway and you know it. Do not close out your day with the illusion of this emotional imprisonment because that's exactly what the Moon square Saturn represents. Do not do that to yourself. Then come the exaggerated stories of how you aren't Loved because someone didn't call. Do you get my drift here folks? It's better to watch this movie play out rather than be a cast member in it.

Mercury in Leo square Jupiter in Scorpio at exactly 1:31 AM EDT. This energy began in applying degrees on August 1st, it is exact today, and it will last in separating degrees until September 3, 2018.

The Moon in Pisces sextile Mars in Capricorn at exactly 9:54 AM EDT. You will feel this energy within 12-14 hours 'before and after' it occurs.

The Moon moves into Aries at 12:35 PM EDT until Thursday, August 30, 2018 at 9:30 PM EDT.

The Moon in Aries square Saturn in Capricorn at exactly 5:37 PM EDT. You will feel this energy within 12-14 hours 'before and after' it occurs.
