Weekly Forecast ~ Week of August 6th

8/5/2018

The biggest news this week is the solar eclipse in Leo, the last eclipse of the summer.  “Eclipse season” happens twice a year and this year we have seen a powerful trio of eclipses that have been involved with a lot of other strong astrological signatures.  Basically this creates an atmosphere that is ripe for change. Not just ripe. Over ripe. Change is imminent. And with change comes the unknown. Are you ready to face it?

Monday August 6th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Gemini
Venus enters Libra

What it means:
Venus is so much happier in her home sign of Libra than she has been in Virgo we are going to notice a shift toward feeling more comfortable in our own skin with this planetary ingress.  


Tuesday August 7th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Gemini void-of-course at 1:55 AM MDT
Moon enters Cancer at 10:01 PM

Uranus Station Rx
Venus Trine Mars

What it means:
Uranus spends about half the year in retrograde motion so it’s not unusual for him to be retrograde.  At the station, however, when he appears to slow down and then stand still in the sky before starting in his backwards motion he is more powerful.  If Uranus is touching things in your chart during his station at 2 and a half degrees Taurus expect the unexpected. Uranus is the cosmic groundshaker, the inventor, and the original rebel.  He doesn’t do the expected. He instead creates new ways of doing things. He doesn’t like to go along with the flow and instead he will surprise you. His unpredictable nature makes him understandably hard to predict but you can expect the unusual.  If things aren’t working in your life he will help you out by turning everything on its head. Easier to start from scratch if you are outside your comfort zone.

We also have a lovely Venus trine Mars aspect today that is great for relationships.  After all the stress with Mars in recent weeks I feel like this lovely aspect is a gift from above.  If your relationships have been tense, whether that is romantic, friendly, or work relationships, today is a great day to bridge the gap and bring you both back onto the same page.  This is also a sensual day so activities that engage your senses are excellent, anything from making love to working with clay to making apple pie from scratch.

Questions to ask yourself:
Where are you complacent and where do you need to make some big changes?  If you could shake up one thing in your life what would it be? Where in your life are things begging to be reinvented?

How can you add more sensuality to your life today?  How can you engage all 5 senses in an activity? Is there a way for you to come back into harmony in any relationships that might have been stressed lately?


Wednesday August 8th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Cancer
Sun conjunct Mercury

What it means:
Mercury is in retrograde motion in the sign of Leo and when retrograde Mercury meets the sun it is the halfway point of the retrograde cycle.  It’s a good day. Our thoughts are sharp and bright. We feel optimistic and joyful. If there are lingering issues that have been bothering since Mercury went retrograde those issues should begin to turn around and you should start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  Keep your thoughts clear and your attitude positive. Or as Walt Whitman said “Keep your face always toward the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you.”

Questions to ask:
How can I reframe my thoughts to be more positive and bright?  What issues that I thought wouldn’t go away are now starting to resolve themselves?


Thursday August 9th ~
What’s going on today:  
Moon in Cancer void-of-course at 9:18 PM MDT
Venus square Saturn

What it means:
With Venus squaring Saturn today we have a turn around from the Venus-Mars trine of Tuesday.  It’s not that we don’t care. It’s not that we don’t feel love or appreciation, it’s just that with Saturn in the mix here Venus has a difficult time expressing herself to those around her.  So you might feel a little lonely or misunderstood with an aspect like this being activated. I recommend connecting with spirit through acts such as meditation or getting out in nature. If you do feel like your love life is suffering today go ahead and be patient (Saturn) with yourself.  Do something loving (Venus) for yourself. Sometimes our partners don’t always recognize our needs. But if we can feed and nurture our own needs it helps to create healthier relationships in the long run.

Questions to ask:
How can I make a commitment to love myself more today?  Can I connect with my intuition and inner guidance today?  What does the foundation of my love life look like and is that foundation stable?


Friday August 10th ~
What’s going on today:
Moon in Leo

We have a new moon solar eclipse in the sign of Leo tomorrow which means today we have the dark of the moon.  This means that we might be feeling low energy. If that is the case for you honor your body. Leo the Lion is athletic and fast but he also spends time resting as needed.  With the moon in Leo allow your inner lion to do what feels right.


Saturday August 11th ~
What’s going on today:  
New Moon Solar Eclipse at 19 degrees Leo
Moon void-of-course at 3:58 AM MDT
Moon enters Virgo at 9:59 PM MDT
Mercury square Jupiter

What it means:
The solar eclipse today is the third and final eclipse of this summer’s “eclipse season”.  It’s a partial eclipse but even so can be powerful from an astrological perspective, especially if it’s hitting something in your chart.    There are a few interesting formations in the eclipse chart including a wide yod involving Neptune and Pluto with the sun and moon at the apex.  This speaks of spiritual transcendence, if you allow yourself to reach for that. What does that sort of spiritual growth look like for you? Non-attachment combined with a higher perspective that elevates consciousness.  Another formation is the Mercury square Jupiter which has Mercury Rx conjunct the sun and moon, and all three square Jupiter. This aspect speaks of being pulled into the mundane or being pulled into something greater. The struggle is real.  Do we walk our spiritual talk? Are we able to manifest into reality the actions of the person we truly desire to be? Or do we continue to act from a lower vibration while trying to raise ourselves up higher?

The Sabian Symbol for 19 degrees Leo is “A Houseboat Party.”  Hey, what Leo doesn’t like a good party? But in actually this represents bringing all the various aspects of ourselves into a harmonious place of balance where we can float along and go with the flow.  Do you think you can do this? Or are you at war with yourself? Inner conflict isn’t pretty but when we have a new moon, especially a solar eclipse, it gives us the opportunity to unite (conjunct) our head (sun) and our heart (moon) so that we can come together as one and move forward from a united front.  And we can have fun doing it. What does your houseboat party look like? Is it full of misfits doing their own thing or is it an elegant affair with only the best dressed in attendance? I only ask because how you envision this is an important insight into how you see yourself and all the disparate pieces of you.

Questions to ask:
Do we walk our spiritual talk?  Are we able to manifest into reality the actions of the person we truly desire to be?  Or do we continue to act from a lower vibration while trying to raise ourselves up higher?


Sunday August 12th ~
What’s going on today:
Moon in Virgo
Mars Rx enters Capricorn

What it means:
Mars is considered exalted in the sign of Capricorn so as he moves in retrograde motion back into that sign we begin to see what it is we need to be doing.  Mars hasn’t really known where to put him abundant energy lately. And if he is undirected he can become agitate, angry or anxious. If you have been feeling any of those symptoms Mars moving into Capricorn can help you refocus on your goals.  If Mars has something he can actually do then he is happier. He likes to be busy. Give him a job and he can do it. But if he feels like he doesn’t have a purpose or if nothing he does has any meaning then he gets frustrated. Refocus on your larger goals and get to work.


The sign of Leo has the sun, moon, Mercury, north node plus the asteroid Pallas in it during the partial solar eclipse this week.  Leo … the pressure is on! It’s time to unveil the brand new you, even if you are still a work in progress. Step up. It’s all going to be okay.
