The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (August 31)

Wednesday at 1:11 PM EDT the lunar energies and our emotions become more intense as the Moon moves into the Fixed Water sign Scorpio.   You may find you feel the need for alone time Wednesday night.  Thursday September 1 Mars in Gemini sextiles Jupiter in Aries.  This aspect would be stronger and have a more positive influence in proactive ways if Jupiter were not retrograde now.  As it is, it can bring enthusiasm and good energies for new projects of all sorts; however, caution now against  getting caught up in the moment and taking on things that you really have no time or bandwidth for at present.  Many will find their thoughts drifting back into the past due to this sextile, avoid over-romanticizing things while you visit though.  The Moon is conjunct the South Node in Scorpio on Thursday and it squares Saturn, this is a dramatic planetary energy combination that can bring conflict to a head in a serious way.  Do be careful what you say or do now, bitter feuds are spawned under energies such as these.   Another manifestation of these energies can be the arrival of consequences from past poor choices or actions.
