Today is Women's Equality Day. How fitting that the Moon is in Cancer, the sign that represents all things feminine! Humanity has a long way to go before women are truly equal citizens of the planet, but we're moving steadily forward. To help that happen, make it a point to be nurturing and helpful today. Anticipate someone else's need and fulfill it. Cook a nourishing meal or enjoy playing with a child.

The Moon is a busybody today, casting aspects right and left, most of them hard ones. This could make us feel childish, insisting on having things our own way and going off in a snit when we don't get it. Try to be more mature than that! This evening, the Moon moves into her own sign of Cancer, and the trend continues. We'll feel much more sensitive than usual. Everyone should take care not to hurt other people's feelings.

The Sun enters Virgo today, the final astrological sign of summer. Despite the long, hot days, at least here in the northern hemisphere, our attention is turning to the beginning of the school year, even if you don't have school-aged children or haven't been a student yourself for years. There's just something about productive, practical Virgo that propels us into motion. Don't forget to catch that wave of exciting, creative energy that's surging through us today. It's quite a carpet ride!

Over the next three days, an exciting and unusual event is unfolding in the sky. First, two swift planets, Mercury and Venus -- combined, these signify artistic communication -- unite in Virgo, the sign of the craftsman. This would be nice enough by itself, due to the ease and idealism it brings. But there's another huge factor in the mix -- Uranus! It's impossible to predict what will happen when the Awakener is stimulated by faster planets, but do watch for completely surprising, even shocking events.

The Sun trines Pluto tonight, creating a real power surge during the day as the aspect builds. Dig deep and go far. You're tapping into the final degrees of Fire Signs -- by far the most creative element. You'll discover wells of imaginative resources you didn't even know you had. These could be inner resources, but they could just as easily be something tangible you find in your closet, basement or attic. This is all about personal power and making the best of it. You go!
