As the Moon enters Sagittarius at 6:01 am EDT, there’s a palpable shift in energy from the intensity of Scorpio to the optimism and expansiveness of Sagittarius. This is a day that calls for adventure, exploration, and a search for higher truths. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, encourages us to broaden our horizons, whether through learning, travel, or simply opening our minds to new perspectives.
The energy today supports activities that push you beyond your comfort zone. It’s a great time to embark on a new journey, dive into studies, or simply engage in conversations that expand your worldview.

ENERGIZED BELIEFS: Wednesday, August 14, 2024:
The Moon remains in Sagittarius today, continuing to inspire us with its expansive and optimistic energy. However, the highlight of the day is the conjunction between Mars and Jupiter at 11:21 am EDT, which occurs at 16 degrees Gemini. This powerful conjunction marks the beginning of a new cycle of energized beliefs and actions. Mars, the planet of drive and assertiveness, aligns with Jupiter, the planet of growth and optimism, in Gemini, a sign known for its intellectual curiosity and communication.
This conjunction is like a cosmic boost, infusing us with motivation and enthusiasm to pursue new ideas and communicate them with confidence. If you know where Gemini falls in your natal chart, this is the area of life where you’ll feel a surge of energy to explore, learn, and perhaps even teach others. It’s an excellent time to start a new project, especially one that involves writing, speaking, or any form of communication.
Later in the day, at 8:15 pm EDT, Mercury, currently retrograde, backs into Leo. While Mercury was in Leo, from July 2nd – July 25th, our minds and communications were expressive and enthusiastic. Since July 25th we have been a bit more serious and detail oriented. Mercury comes back to Leo today to explore a manner of thinking or communication that needs more attention. While in Leo Mercury encourages us to express ourselves boldly and with a touch of drama. It’s a time to let your personality shine through your words and to take pride in your ideas.
Introspective Questions:
- What new ideas will I pursue with passion?
- How will I use my words to inspire and uplift others?
- Where in my life will I plant seeds of hope?
GROUNDED AMBITION – Thursday, August 15, 2024
The day begins with the Moon still in Sagittarius, continuing to lift our spirits with its optimistic and adventurous energy. However, as the day progresses, the Moon enters Capricorn at 1:51 pm EDT, shifting the energy towards something more grounded and practical. Capricorn is an Earth sign ruled by Saturn, known for its focus on structure, discipline, and long-term goals.
As the Moon moves into Capricorn, it’s time to switch gears from exploration to execution. The expansive ideas and visions that Sagittarius inspired now need a solid plan and consistent effort to bring them to fruition. Capricorn’s influence encourages us to assess our progress and refine our strategies with patience and determination. It’s a day to focus on responsibilities, make plans for the future, and take practical steps towards your goals. This energy supports hard work, but also reminds us of the importance of perseverance and resilience.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I balance optimism with practicality today?
- What long-term goals will I focus my attention and dedication on?
- How will I stay disciplined without losing sight of my dreams?
STEADY RESOLVE – Friday, August 16, 2024
The Moon is fully in Capricorn today, bringing an energy of steady resolve and a focus on long-term ambitions. Capricorn’s influence is serious, disciplined, and often reminds us of the importance of hard work and perseverance. Today’s early morning square between Mars and Saturn, exact at 1:29 am EDT, might present challenges that test our patience and determination. Mars, with its fiery, assertive energy, clashes with Saturn, the planet of limitations and discipline, creating a tension between the desire to act quickly and the need to move slowly and methodically.
This square can feel frustrating, especially if you encounter obstacles or delays in your efforts. However, it’s also an opportunity to strengthen your resolve and recommit to your goals. Capricorn teaches us that nothing worthwhile comes easily, and the challenges we face today are meant to build our resilience. Approach any difficulties with a calm, measured attitude, and remember that steady progress is still progress. This is a day to focus on what truly matters and to remain steadfast in your pursuits, even when the road seems tough.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I respond to obstacles constructively?
- What goals are worth the effort, even in the face of challenges?
- How will I cultivate patience and persistence in my daily life?

Capricorn’s influence continues to support our efforts to make steady, tangible progress towards our goals. It’s a good day to reflect on the progress you’ve made, assess where you stand, and consider what adjustments may be needed to stay on course.
In the evening, at 5:44 pm EDT, the Moon enters Aquarius, bringing a shift in energy towards innovation, independence, and a focus on the collective good. Aquarius is an Air sign known for its forward-thinking, unconventional approach to life. As the Moon moves into Aquarius, you may feel a desire to break away from tradition and explore new, innovative ways of doing things. This is a time to embrace your uniqueness and think outside the box. The Aquarius Moon encourages us to consider how our personal goals align with the greater good and to seek out opportunities to contribute to our communities.
The transition from Capricorn to Aquarius also invites us to blend our practical ambitions with a vision for the future. It’s a moment to reflect on how you can bring fresh, innovative ideas into your current projects and to think about how your work impacts others.
