More “make-it-happen” earthy, practical energy is yours to utilize today, courtesy of the Moon in Capricorn. And what big and noble thoughts you may have while you’re moving forward. Why? Well, Mercury — referring to mind and communication — is running wild in Leo, suggesting the potential for proud, playful and/or dramatic expression. Also running wild is expansive Jupiter in information-junkie Gemini, suggesting you’ll need a certain Sun-in-Virgo discernment as you receive the potential information overload this day holds. The only exact lunar aspect is an opposition from loving Venus at 8PM ET, suggesting a bit of pleasant indulgence and nurturing.

Moon voids: Tuesday 6:33AM – 1:38PM ET; Thursday 1:48PM ET – 6:31PM ET.

Major aspects this week, which you can apply all week long: a constructive connection between Mercury and Saturn on Wednesday helps you structure your thoughts that may have been running wild. Also on Wednesday: an easy connection between the Sun and potent Pluto, suggesting a successful reach for power and news from underground. The Full Moon is exact Friday at 9:58AM ET in watery Pisces, so emotions and tensions are building all week for a release/illumination.

Speaking of watery, that type of energy is also in effect this week, with the potential for considerable force. And here I would be thinking of Hurricane Isaac, which is expected to hit land in the US later this week. This has inspired me to look up the charts for the 2nd and 3rd landfalls of Hurricane Katrina on 8/29/2005 — at 6:10AM ET in Buras-Triumph, LA and 9:45AM in St. Tammany Parish, LA. Stay tuned…
