The Moon is in Pisces until Friday, August 11, 2017 at 1:22 AM EDT.

**NOTE -- I write only one (1) Daily Horoscope for all 12 Sun Signs. The Monthly, Yearly and Generational Horoscopes are tailored to each of the 12 Sun Signs.

The BIG NEWS today is we are still under the influence of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius even though the Moon has moved on and into the next Sun Sign, which is Pisces. I always call Pisces 'monk mode' as indicated on the new graphic. This is because Pisces naturally rules the 12th house of quiet, peace, stillness, meditation, reflection, the higher spiritual plane, the invisible, what is unseen, spiritualism, your soul's spiritual progress and solitude. Quite honestly, I have no idea how so many people who study astrology even remotely get through their day with so much fear attached to their feet when the 12th house is mentioned. GEEZ! By the way, Pisces rules the feet, eh hem . . I mean Pisces rules the fins.

Certainly Pisces rules what goes on behind closed doors that we don't want others to see or know about us, so then clean up your act. How about that? What a novel idea!!! While Pisces rules hospitals, jails, institutions, dark places and spaces where people are confined or alone, these are often the very places where an individual will find their spirituality or have a 'Come To Jesus'. So what's wrong with that?

Yes, Pisces and the 12th house rules addictions including chemical, drug, alcohol, eating, sex and any other kind of addiction you can think to mention. You see, along with addiction is the word 'obsession' and Pisces is the sign that rules 'mental health' while its counterpart (opposite sign) of Virgo rules physical health. So once the obsessive mind takes over Pisces energy could easily fall in the well of depression, addiction and obsession. Think of how Virgo is the sign of perfectionism, which is another form of obsession. Pisces can easily go into obsession on the spiritual, fantasy, psychedelic and invisible plane using artifical means to get there, while at the same time can go into obsession on the spiritual and yogi plane. As a South Node Pisces I think it is fairly evident through this website where I fall on the obsessive scale Pisces scale, not to mention I got to 'hot yoga' twice a day. Yep, yoga and the yogi are ruled by Pisces and Neptune. And as a North Node Virgo, yoga and this website are where I 'get to' practice my favorite obsessions. I'm also obsessed with spirituality and so yes, I also go to Mass every single day. I'm pretty spiritually intense.

So folks, I caution you not to be so dang afraid of Pisces energy. Honestly, you ought to be more afraid of not embracing Pisces energy more than anything else. Those of us with a South Node Pisces have had to make our peace with Pisces. And because South Node Pisces can easily create an addict, I choose my addictions consciously and wide-eyed. A South Node Pisces should never drink alcohol or engage in drug use, even marijuana because it takes us away from the addiction that will work for us, which is spirituality or moving meditations (yoga, tai chi, pilates, laundry, cleaning, clipping Bonsai trees, gardening).

Today's Pisces Moon has three (3) aspects to it as indicated in the list of aspects below. First there is a wonderful trine to Venus that is pleasant, charming, optimistic and kind. I Love this trine because it just makes me a better person and I'm always striving toward enLightenment and self-actualization. LOVE IT!

The second aspect is in opposition to Mercury in Virgo. Since the Moon is in Pisces, then it stands to reason that this would be an opposition because Virgo is Pisces opposite sign. So here we have a tug-of-war or the perfect balance. You get to decide. Generally, oppositions are challenges because the are designed to do just that . . challenge us! But we humans can be a stiff-neck-lot so we generally come across as more defensive during an opposition rather than lighting up and saying, "Oh fun, a challenge!" Since Mercury rules the mind and the Moon rules the emotions, then the mind and the emotions are at odds. One person is being rational and logical, while the other is being emotional and out-of-touch. Which one will you be?

The third aspect is a conjunction between the Moon and Neptune. A conjunction intensifies the energy of the two planets involved. Since the Moon is in Pisces and Neptune is in Pisces (its natural ruling planet) this can pretty much set us up to be taken for granted or taken advantage of as if we are 'sucker fish'. This aspect will play off your gullibility and sympathasies and get you for a handout. As a 'sucker fish' who is taken for a sob story, this may drag you right into someone else's emotional baggage. You do have the option of swimming in the other direction, but will you? I caution you, swim away from the emotional drama. Pisces is the 'Academy Award' winner of the zodiac when it comes to drama and big fish stories.

So folks, stop being so afraid of this 12th house. This 12th house brings us closer to God, at least it should.
