The BIG NEWS today is the Full Moon in Aquarius (yesterday). That's still the BIG NEWS even though the Moon will move into Pisces (monk mode and moving meditations) at 2:44 PM EDT.

In my Fakebook post yesterday I said, "You are probably seeing some pics being posted of the planets lined up around this time. While that's pretty in Astronomy, this is not so pretty in Astrology. This is a VERY CHALLENGING FULL MOON." I was referring to a planetary line-up with a pic of Saturn being closest to the Earth in 2022 around this time and the Moon and Mars "very close to each other" as the image below says.

So while that is pretty in Astrology, it's not so pretty bouncing off the other planets in Astrology. Also, the pics do 'not' say what time zone this is in. I would imagine whoever created these pics are using GMT (Greenwich Mean Time in the UK), which is five (5) hours ahead of EDT.

I do however find it interesting that Saturn being so close to the Earth is sending us a DM (direct message). Saturn is the planet of maturity, responsibility, limitation, restriction and stability . . . if you cannot self-impose these character traits on yourself, then it looks like the Universe will do it for you. This does not mean give up your freedom, as Aquarius is THE MOST freedom-Loving sign, being restricted by the belt rings of Saturn, as Saturn pulls his belt tighter and tighter. But ya' know, sometimes we humans have to learn the hard way and that is what the masses are learning.

At the same time, the masses are feeling the restrictions and limitations of those in a position of authority. Saturn so close to the Earth is showing us restriction and limitation on many levels. More on that during the Sun opposition Saturn write-up in Sunday - August 14, 2022 Daily Horoscope.

Remember, the Moon was Full 'in Aquarius' last night at 9:36 PM EDT and just 4-1/2 hours later this morning at 1:56 AM EDT the Moon conjunct Saturn. Note in the list above that these lunar aspects have a 12 to 14 hour 'orb of influence' over them, which is before and after their exactness.

So the Moon conjunct Saturn energy began yesterday around 11:56 AM EDT and will last until 3:56 PM EDT today in the 12 to 14 hour 'orb of influence' before and after exactness. Add into the mix that the Moon was FULL, which was full of emotion since the Moon rules our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities.

The feeling of the Moon conjunct Saturn blew up like a fully blown balloon. Understanding how this aspect impacts you can easily make this energy pass over you without your self-esteem taking such a hit. It's temporary!!!

Here is what I wrote in the Daily Horoscope yesterday. I am reiterating because yesterday's write-up was massive and it's easier to pull out these tidbits than have you search to refresh your memory.

WHAT DOES ALL THAT MEAN?

The Moon conjunct Saturn is ratty!

The Moon conjunct Saturn will really cause your self-esteem to take a hard hit. This can cause you to retract, pull back, not give as much, and go within. Remember Saturn limits and restricts, so when it is conjunct the Moon, it will limit and restrict our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities. This will make you withdrawal and go within causing those of you with this aspect in your 2022 Solar Return to become painfully shy and reserved. Warmth and affection you will not be getting or giving. It just means you have OTHER THINGS to focus on besides yourself.

This is not the year for personal feelings and emotions to be important. In other words, your sensitivity will have to take a back seat. There is no time for crying and wimpering right now. You have bigger fish to fry, so you will have to smack yourself and remind yourself that people do Love you and you will need to roll up your sleeves and get what needs to be done without feeling sorry for yourself.

It is more likely that material possessions and things that help you 'survive' will be important right now. I'm talking about necessities. It is best to work on goals and be responsible for yourself instead and your personal wants. Needs are more important than wants right now, and certainly more important than desires. Basically the Moon conjunct Saturn smacks you and says, "GROW THE 'F' UP!"

Still, the Moon conjunct Saturn can be somber, depressed, melancholy, cynical and negative. You must channel this energy into being productive.

So that is the energy that begins our day today in its exactness at 1:56 AM EDT.

Next, the Moon squares Mars at 7:07 AM EDT. Squares Beware! So in the line-up of planetary action you see posted around social media, the Moon square Mars is rough aspect as well.

Folks, Mars is aggressive, assertive, fired-up, mouthy, fast and in your face. Coupled with the Moon, which rules our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities, this aspect is 'emotionally volatile'. It is NOT an attractive aspect if used inappropriately. These are brewing emotions, which are mercurial and unstable. The emotions are changing quickly and just downright fickle. This aspect is quick-tempered and intolerant. Those who typically mouth tolerance are usually intolerant people.

The Moon squaring Mars takes EVERYTHING personally and then the temper is lost and relationships become difficult, demanding and super-sensitive. Can anything be said without becoming so self-absorbed that the statement is turned around and taken personally? Is there no real 'confidence' or 'security' in ones self anymore? Has the approval of others through phones and social media reduced confidence that much? The answer is "Yep!"

Golly . . . if someone calls me a name, I wonder what's wrong with them, not what's wrong with me.

The Moon square Mars will teach you self-control and you will find that you have plenty of energy (Mars) that should be channeled productively and creatively. Sometimes in yoga during a challenging pose I will tell the yogi's to take all of that energy and push it into the big toe. All of the sudden all of that "Uggh, I can't hold myself in this pose any longer" becomes nothing because the energy was put somewhere else. FUN! The same thing goes in Life off the mat, put the energy somewhere else.

The Moon square Mars will instigate disagreements with parents, also making it had to get along with women, feminine, yin and estrogen energies. As if we don't see enough crazy ass insecure women these days setting horrible examples for young girls and then calling it everything its not, like 'power and goddess'. PLEASE!

At 2:44 PM EDT the Moon will move into Pisces, which is monk-mode and moving meditations, which will dial down some of this piss and vinegar, and angst. Still the Moon square Mars has that 12 to 14 hour 'orb of influence' taking the energy all the way into the evening until 9:07 PM EDT tonight.

But see, if you are fully conscious of these energies, they fall away by their own weight and they will not touch you. You can see these aspects for what they are and then just move along without becoming so easily baited.

The last aspect is the Moon quincunx Venus exact at 4:55 PM EDT, which makes it uneasy, weird and uncomfortable energy between women, feminine, yin and estrogen energies. It doesn't help that Mars is still present and probably causing females to compete with each other. And what do females usually compete or fight over. Yep . . a man! There's that Mars energy looming about that is still present in the 'orb of influence'.

I have a strict policy 'not' to compete with any woman over a man. EVER! If I 'ever' feel like I have to do that, then he's not my man. I don't even need a full paragraph to explain that because it's common sense.

The Moon quincunx Venus can also make you feel like you have to cater to everyone else, but you don't. That's on you, unless of course you are getting paid to cater to someone, then that's still on you. Otherwise, most adults should be left to take care of themselves. I'm not talking about social needs and and mental health. I am specifically talking about 'catering' your Life to someone else's. When I use the word 'cater' - I mean to indulge, kowtow and pamper. Providing for, and catering to, are different. Know the difference.
