Moon Scope

August 7, 2023 Edition

Welcome to the very first Moon Scope of August, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet.

Moon position: 3rd degree, Taurus, 8th House

Moon Phase: Tonight’s Moon will be a waning gibbous with 60% illumination.

There is no connection between the Moon and the Sun as of 8:49 this morning, but the Sun’s position in Leo in the 11th House highlights the future. With Virgo marking the location of the ascendant, Mercury becomes the chart ruler.

Theme: Communications Regarding the Future

With the Moon’s conjunction to the North Node, there’s a concentrated focus on the here and now and the chosen purpose for this lifetime. Both are in the 8th House, and the 8th House governs all issues related to other people’s money, legacies, and transformations through death and rebirth.

🌖As the Moon sits calmly in the sensual and earthly sign of the Bull, she gets a penetrating look at her current purpose (North Node) as it’s related to the self (Aries). With the 8th House ruling other people’s money, and Taurus being the sign that rules money and possessions, we must guard against the trap of comparing ourselves to others.

It’s not a bad thing to see what others have accumulated if that’s what you chose to do, so long as it doesn’t affect the opinion you have of yourself. We all have something special to offer, and the whole purpose of being the best person you can be or becoming the best version of yourself is so that you can maximize the potential within. When you look at it this way, there’s no competition and there’s no comparison-you’re in a league of your own.

But, as the North Node indicates in Aries, this is specifically about you. It’s time to take a look in the mirror and reassess your current situation. Are you doing what you came here to do? Do you have the things you need or want? Are you happy with what you have?

If no is the answer to those questions, there’s good news ahead. The current alignment of the Moon and the North Node in sign and house indicates a fresh start and the beginning of a brand-new cycle related to money and possessions.

The good thing about Taurus is that it bestows dependability and trustworthy-ness, but as a fixed sign, we can also be stubborn and resistant to change-and Taurus is probably the most stubborn of all the fixed signs.

However, with the North Node in Aries, the cardinal quality there should not only open us up to change, but grant us the power to forge ahead and go after what we want.

With Venus, the goddess of love and beauty and the ruler of Taurus in Leo in the 12th House, we gain the insight of knowing our current situation karmically charged.

Right now, all things point to favorable connections concerning love and communications, and a blessing is dropped on us if we decide to restructure our lives in an orderly way.

This is actually quite wonderful because not only are we getting a fresh start with luck in love and communication as indicated by the astrology, but the Moon is also waning down and getting ready to become new again.

Prepare yourself for the New Moon coming up on the 16th of August. There’s a wonderful opportunity ahead.

Lucky numbers are 6,4,1, and 9.
