Astrology Today: August 28, 2012 – Swing For The Fences
Eye on the Sky
Tuesday morning the Moon in late degrees of Capricorn widely opposes Venus in Cancer and forms a t-square with Saturn in Libra. This means Moon square Saturn and Venus square Saturn, challenge in the form of limitation in what you want and what you need. It can also make bog things down in dealings with females and makes for a reserved mood.
One positive here is that of the three planets affected, all are in the sign of one of the others. The Moon is in Saturn’s sign, Venus in the Moon’s sign and Saturn in Venus’ sign. This makes it a bit easier to take the t-square on as a whole. Approach getting what you want or need with maturity, take time and use integrity. Slowing it down in this way and allowing for a less than perfect reaction or circumstance helps these energies to work together. Balance what you would like to have happen with what you really need to get done and be willing to take it slow and compromise. This makes it all the more likely you’ll come out ahead and feeling good.
By midday the Moon moves into Aquarius and a square to Mars. Mars sextiles the Virgo Sun and trines Neptune. The Sun trines Pluto. This is a great time to distance yourself from any emotional reaction that interferes with getting done what must be done. It also aids in digging in and having the energy to follow through. If you’re feeling put upon, use your imagination or some upbeat music to take the edge off and keep swinging for the fences.
By the end of the day things look so much better for mood! The Moon sextiles its sign ruler, Uranus, and together they form a yod (two planets sextiling each other, quincunxing a third) pointing at the Sun. This can be innovating your mood, or a truly humanitarian mood, in such a way that it bolsters your ego. Neptune opposes the Sun so there’s the ability to really make some magic and improve the way you view yourself.

Venus Conjuncts my asc tomorrow, and Saturn opposes my Venus… I had a hard time today. Tomorrow I have a big day, so this post helps me a lot. Thanks Satori! An let’s
Go Yankees!
That is kind of you. I come from a serious Yankee family (dad and brother mostly) and just got into baseball this year myself. Tonight was my first major league game! So fun
I actually used to own a Yankees cap but someone swiped it (when I was in my twenties). my son wears one now and my sister is a New Yorker!
It took me till my twenties to appreciate baseball. I was a basketball/football chick. golf and baseball take a different level to appreciate.
Yeah – I’m 25 and I feel like I have arrived! (I mean, I finally like baseball!) Yanks lost but I’m gonna look at the astrology of this when I get home. I remember the specific day and topic that triggered my new interest. I’m from borderline Red Sox territory in Connecticut (still technically Yankee zone though) and I go to school in NYC, so this opens up a whole new world for me!
Well done, I really appreciate your writing, which is infused with a ton of detail and interpretations of [each] aspect! Thanks!

Slow it down…allow for a less than perfect reaction or circumstance helps these energies to work together. Balance what you would like to have happen with what you really need to get and be willing to take it slow and compromise.
Thanks Satori, I can use this as Fall makes its way into the woods and things need to be done, but might get there in a round about way.
