Astrology of Wednesday, August 26

Sometimes the distance between finding inspiration and being confused is short, and today both are on offer. The Moon is in Sagittarius, a philosophic, explorative sign, squaring Neptune in Pisces and Mercury in Virgo. Mercury in Virgo is in opposition to Neptune. Mercury is also in very harmonious aspect with Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus.

So we have high possibilities and low ones, too. We may perceive much more than usual and be inspired (even psychically aware) - or just confused! Your perceptions are in a state of flux, so be honest to yourself and others. It is not time for a final decision. Perceptions and our philosophy - are we looking at facts that support our current philosophy or are we really open about perceiving things differently in the light of new circumstances.

Someone may vent their emotions to you; not everything you hear today will be music to your ears, but you or someone close to you needs to say what they have to say.

Because of the dilemma of the day - perceiving reality vs illusion/delusion, conspiracy theories can be prevalent. You may be seeking to fit facts to justify your philosophy instead of allowing your sense of what is true to be amended based on facts.
