Numerology: 5
Last Quarter in Taurus 6:15 PM PST
If you’ve felt like a voodoo doll, pinned down by karma, those pins are about to be removed. We’re in the last quarter heading into the eclipse. This is pretty symbolic, actually. The last quarter during a lunar cycle is when we look back and see how far we’ve come. But for this particular eclipse, we’re looking back over an entire cycle. The reminder here is that the devil is in the details. It’s a reminder to plan better for the next cycle. Whatever your intention is, let it be a good one for the next lunar cycle that brings the next big turn of the wheel. Moon sextile Neptune at 2:55 AM PST is a dreamy, empathetic transit that will find you spending time looking forward to spending time with people you care about.

Tuesday 8/15/17 2 of Swords
Numerology: 6

Moon opposition Pluto at 4:13 AM PST is a transit of intense love experience. You may feel an incredible attraction to someone who is no damn good for you.

The number of the day is 6, the number that rules the lover card. With the Sun and Moon coming together to unite in the sky over the US for the first time in 700+ years, souls are set to meet that have been waiting centuries. But only those ready to see their own reflection will recognize it.
Mantra: We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
