The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (August 24)

Mercury enters Libra Thursday and we become more concerned with creating harmony and building consensus in our thoughts and communications.  This is an art and design oriented transit for Mercury, aesthetic oriented creative energies abound. This can be a good time for negotiations, particularly in areas where talks failed previously.  Avoid shying away from confrontation in the cause of keeping the peace during this transit though.  Also caution against employing charm in a dishonest fashion through people pleasing or more overt manipulations.  Uranus stationed retrograde in Taurus Wednesday.  This five-month long retrograde will bring us face to face with fears, ultimately spurring us toward changes in how we create and experience structure, and in our relationship with convention and with authority.
