24 August 2019: Venus conjunct Mars in Virgo, Moon opposing Jupiter and squaring Neptune

Today Venus and Mars conjoin one another in the early degrees of Virgo. The planet of love, union, beauty, and attraction merges with the planet of action, separation, courage, and desire. This could be a day to fight for what you love, to act on your desires, or to reconnect places that have felt separated. In Virgo, there could be a refining quality to this conjunction: what are the steps you need to take in order to be living more in alignment with your values? Just as this Venus/Mars conjunction perfects, the Moon in Gemini opposes Jupiter in Sagittarius. We may feel the opposition between big, expansive visions and the detailed precision required to articulate them, a feeling that could become even more diffuse as the Moon applies a square to Neptune in Pisces. Gemini, Sagittarius, and Pisces are all mutable signs, and with the Sun, Venus, and Mars in Virgo—the fourth mutable sign—the need for adaptability and accepting change will be high.
