The Moon in Sagittarius on Wednesday is trine aspect to Mercury in Virgo for an easy flow of words, and then the Moon transits to a square aspect to Neptune in Pisces and quincunx aspect to Venus in Cancer as fact checking begins. Venus is trine aspect to Neptune on Wed and Thursday, allowing for conspiracy, false messaging romantic views of life as Venus in opposition aspect to the midpoint of Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn with polarization set in. Escapist tendencies are increased. Then, with Moon in trine aspect to Mars in Aries, Mars is in a close square aspect to Saturn as the conflicts are detailed. On Friday and Saturday, the Moon transits Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn while Venus remains in the opposition aspect in Cancer. Viewers of the convention from home (Venus in Cancer) have a compulsion to view the events (Pluto in Cap) as a form of entertainment (Jupiter opposition to Venus). On Saturday, Mercury in Virgo is in a trine aspect to Jupiter in Cap and an opposition aspect to Neptune when critical analysis can be overwhelmed. The Moon in Aquarius on Sunday is in a square aspect to Uranus, as an effort to combat the radical elements in the financial field and disinformation with Mercury opposition aspect to Neptune, may now succeed. The Moon forms a Yod configuration with Merc and Venus, as we move beyond a display of imagery on Monday. The Moon in Pisces on September first, as apprehension and wisdom combine for many returning school at the beginning of the academic year, and the Full Moon overnight.

Mars square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Saturn retro is doubly separating, although today this aspect is still very strong with only a quarter of a degree separating. Venus in Cancer is doubly separating from the opposition aspect (180 deg, polarized) to Jupiter retro in Capricorn; an aspect still in effect today.

The Moon is in a conjunction aspect to Saturn retro in Cap late in the day, confirming a tradition, a narrow view of authority.
Sunday
August 30th — A cultural conflict that ignited over police brutality
gains strength with the repeated incidents, and without a resolution, as Mars
separates from the square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Saturn.
The Moon ingress to Aquarius
is a singleton with no other planets in air signs. The Moon makes a sextile aspect
(60 deg, helpful) to Chiron in Aries as caution is applied, and a
square aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus follows. The
Moon is the dispositor of Uranus, so the conflict gains in
sympathy. Idealist thinking results. Mercury in Virgo reaches the
partile opposition aspect (180 deg, focused) to Neptune
in Pisces, as the views of the oppressed finally gain an audience. The Moon
in a quincunx aspect (150 deg, complex) to the Sun in Virgo
advancing ideals for a resolution, and a briefly existing Yod formation
to the Sun with Chiron also in a quincunx aspect to
the Sun.
Monday August 31st — The Moon in Aquarius makes
quincunx aspects (150 deg, complex) to Mercury in Virgo
and Venus in Cancer, for a Yod formation, an
indication that creative solutions could be found. Mercury in Virgo
approaches the trine aspect with Pluto in Capricorn
-— appealing with practical solutions can succeed in modifying the government
policy.
Tuesday September 1st – The Moon ingress to Pisces in the early morning hours is void-of-course until the Full Moon late in the day. During the void-of-course hours, signing documents is ill-advised. The Full Moon just 23 minutes after midnight EDT could be a breakthrough achievement with the Moon in a partile sextile aspect (60 deg, helpful) to Uranus in Taurus, avoiding a shutdown with Venus also in opposition aspect (180 deg, polarized) to Saturn in Capricorn, when agreements may be reached.
