Aug 5 through Aug 11
You can enhance your understanding by applying the Houses these signs and Planets are falling into in your Natal Chart. I am happy to help you with figuring that out, at no cost to you— just shoot me an email!!
Consistent from Last Week— Mars Conjunct Jupiter; Mars Square Mercury: Mars imposes haste on these planets. Principles of the mind, both big and small, ingrained daily habits and guiding principles. Be wary of getting ahead of yourself. Like trying to run downhill how your feet can’t catch up to your body so you tumble. Curiosity and excess acuity could leave us to speak to quickly. A craving ruins your diet. A distasteful, but accurate critique that could be consequential. A desire to seek new experience continues to swell. How will you satisfy the craving for a change of scenery or pace? You seek some sort of stimulation or variety. Mercury supported in Virgo creates a good basis for applying this energy, but again— don’t lose your footing.
Additionally, Saturn in Pisces imposes some delay or obstacle in the Pisces House which creates a subsequent effect on these other Mutable planets in Gemini and Virgo. I keep referring to Saturn in Pisces in some such phrase like— A commitment to a dream; a dedication to some sense of purity. The Pisces house is reducing like bone broth. Concentrating; requiring concentration.
Virgo Enters the Mutable “Ring”: Venus in this tense setting with Saturn in Pisces, with Mars and Jupiter in Gemini; we will start to feel this later in the week, and even more next week. Venus in Virgo is difficult as Venus is appreciative and evocative, but does not create action. Virgoan space is criticizing and service oriented. So the Function of Venus conflicts with the operation of Virgo. So until August 29th when Venus enters Libra, the function of evoking desire, arousal, wanting, and appreciation will contend with an air of judgment; noticing flaws. We can lead into perfecting, clean-up, editing, and refining with a sense of appreciation. We will need a sense of dedication, so find something to make improvements on for the sake of. A partner, an ideal, for your God, for your future. Dawn that frame of dedication.
Mutable T-Square: Now the big problem is these conflicting energies co-existing. The Martian sense for action will be inflated, but poorly directed in Gemini where perspective is narrow and logic reigns supreme. The difficultly to evoke desire with Venus will also be hard to focus with Mars in Gemini. Though we will have more energy. Then Saturn in Pisces will persist some obstacles. The Mutable signs are adaptive, and being adaptive will be a big theme. Expect to put your energy into multiple places and let yourself be carried by fate between projects, rest, play, sleep, and whatever task seems pragmatic. There are no planets in Sagittarius, so we must remember that sign’s value set to create more balance with the rest of these mutable signs. Faith, cultural context, optimism, ethics. Your connection to these expressive principles of subjectivity.
Virgo Conjunct Mercury: This aspect will perfect the night of August 7th, but will already have been present. Normally these planets in aspect speak to sweet speech, indulgence & pleasure in daily habits & routines, an alignment of arousal and application of that energy. With Mercury retrograde and Venus in detriment there will be some awkwardness met with humility. Don’t be to hard on yourself for mistakes as long as grace is given. Though initial criticism may appear, the sense of justice and greater good should be present. Mercury retrogrades are about reorientation of a habits, our daily lives, and experiencing disruptions to our usual flow. Go with it, and expect to apply some creative strategy in response to a disruption. A manner that brings in that dedication, faith, and devotion to something greater. To be adaptive.
Uranus Square Sun: This aspect will not perfect until August 19th, but will continue to build. We will experience more and more unexpected and disruptive behaviors from our leaders. Possibly on self-indulgent means. We had the Uranus Sun conjunction (New Moon Phase - Intention setting) on May 13, 2024 and now we are in the Uranus Sun Square (First Quarter Moon Phase - problem solving). So we face issues regarding the restructuring, awakening, and liberation of our soul and our masculine figures. Those in charge, our sense of vitality and what brings us confidence. You must hear your unconscious when it tells you what problems keep your soul in your body from being authentic. Prominent for Fixed signs. [Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius]
*The date ranges reflect the Moon being a majority in the given sign during a 5am-11pm EST range. Moon Signs naturally set each other up for a successful procession through life's subtle developments. The Moon functions as a catalyst and distributor of the energies from the other Celestial bodies.
The Moon in Leo - Aug 5: Coming off of the Leo New Moon this week starts off with the rest of that need to be connected to the inner child in a manner that retains dignity. Playing as nurturance.
The Moon in Virgo - Aug 5-7: This Moon will immediately make that Venus Mercury, Venus in Virgo atmosphere more present. Nurturance through fixing editing, cleaning, or improving. Also, facilitating the development of skills. You may accept a limitation from something or someone that changes your routine. The Gemini house indicates some source of pressure or frustration.
The Moon in Libra - Aug 8-10: It will be difficult to bring anything to fruition on Thursday August 8th; the 9th and 10th will be normal. Nurturance through appreciation and interpersonal connection. Complementation of the other. Mutual pleasures.
The Moon in Scorpio - Aug 10-11: The First Quarter Moon phase bringing up the first obstacles or issues to be dealt with regarding the intention set during the Leo New Moon on August 4th. Nurturance through the releasing of stuck energy or merging to create mutual trust and support.
This is a week to really lean into faith. That all the events of your life are setting you up for something unseen. Your unconscious and higher self manifest and present future events in subtle ways. You do not need to know everything that’s going to happen, but you can trust that your intentions and actions will come back around. There is a lot of stressful energy going on that requires much movement. So plant seeds of goodness as the energy will come around faster.
Now, recognize the difference between being dedication and being used. Dedication, love for all sentient beings, cannot be done without equal self-love. So expect the best for yourself, for others, and make decisions from that place. See the goodness flow in and out from your life.
Watch your footing. There is much energy, much requirement for that energy, disruption. Be adaptive.
