In the morning, the Libra moon sextiles Mercury in Leo, kicking off the day on an upbeat note. Connecting with others is easy now. Conversations are lighthearted and imaginative. Although this is more a moment for gossip than intense discussions, we may organically be able to repair damaged trust in relationships by leading with sentimentality. Our main incentive is to engage an audience and have meetings of the mind, not just to hear ourselves talk.
At 3:49 p.m.: The moon is square the sun and the moon void of course begins
Mid-afternoon, the first quarter moon in Libra asks us to reflect upon intentions set during the July 5 Cancer new moon. At that time, we were encouraged to consider our safety and security. Cancer is compassionate and protective. By tuning into its energy, we discover ways to make self-care a more fundamental part of our daily reality. However, today, we find ourselves struggling with this concept. If we are to be safe, we can’t afford to ruffle any feathers. We must strive to preserve relational harmony at all costs – or so we assume. While it’s fine to consider others, we should not do so at our own expense. Crises that arise now make us aware of how we are downplaying our needs to appease our loved ones. Following this, the moon enters a void of course that will last until tomorrow morning! Use this occasion for self-reflection, relaxation, or completing work already in progress.
