SIDEREAL
WESTERN ASTROLOGY
This week lovely
Venus is well into Cancer and some lovely aspects happening for healing and
creation of stability in your romantic life. The 28th is especially
warm and fuzzy. After that she disconnects and it is back to work. Enjoy what
you can right now. I know we all need a refresher on what it is like to be
loved.
Mercury in
retrograde is about to start closely connecting with the Sun/North Node/Mars in
early degree Leo and later degree Cancer. Yep, that ties together some really
major powers into a struggle. While there are positive trines with Saturn (the
great instructor) and Uranus (that dose of mayhem), neither of those is particularly
easy to deal with. What will do you the most good is to stay with the details,
follow through and give it your best. If you are in the public eye, be sure to
stay on topic and get your facts straight!
We will be
starting a series of Grand Trine aspects with essentially the North Node (or
point of destiny), Saturn in Scorpio and Uranus in Aries. These will continue
until November 11th only to have yet another set of Grand trines
continue. This set relates to power structures and where our efforts will lead
us into secure places for the future with lots of unusual situations. By then
we should be so used to the pace of change and challenge that it will just be
normal. Keep your grounding practices and healthy lifestyles in place. You will
rely heavily on those to keep from overload. By November 11th , Saturn
will start to be in Sagittarius and conjuncting the Stars Aculeus and Acumen.
These in order are “attacks but still success” and “attacks that weaken”. Other
leaders in recent history had to deal with this aspect and had a very hard
time. It will test the mettle of the greatest of souls. Where ever you might
have early degree Sagittarius, prepare for some challenges.
Friday, August 25th, starts the day with the Moon and
Jupiter conjuncting. Generally a joyous time even in Virgo. There are some
other wonderful aspects allowing those of earth signs to get their acts
together and get something big accomplished. Just don’t expect it to be without
a few unexpected surprises. Yes, Uranus will be sprinkling in some craziness. Grounding
is key here and you will be able to forge ahead and find some healing time with
your sweetie too! Moon in Virgo.
Saturday, August 26th, could be a test to find the energy
to get started and then persevere knowing that the timing might be off anyway.
Today is going to be better suited to planning, preparing and spending some
time healing from a hectic week. Could be some unexpected news that is dragged
from deep recesses into the light right now. Stay tuned and keep your cool. Moon
in Libra.
Sunday, August 27th, Mars goes into Leo today. While
Mercury will be doing its backward moon walk passing a conjunction with the
Sun, the news will still be flowing. But now it will be more commentary than
something new. In about 4 days, Mercury will be conjuncting with Mars which
will bring a sense of right actions happening. Whatever it is, it will be
powerful. What I find fascinating about astrology is it provides timing for
tests of character and opportunities to change for the better. Both will be on
Regulus (6* Leo) about the same time. Like two trains about to meet head on.
Remember that necessity is the mother of invention and change. Moon in Libra.
Monday, August 28th, like a debilitating sting of a
scorpion, the Moon will be challenging the status quo of those who have been
abusing power. The show should go on for a few days. This is a day we should
pay close attention as to the sub current and accusations that spin around us.
If you happen to be subject to that poisoned stab, keep facts and reason close
at hand. Strangely, I don’t think it will rock to status quo so much as to
cause anarchy. Moon in Scorpio.
Tuesday, August 29th, a powerful set of oppositions hit
the midheaven in the morning. These strike issues relating to money, power and
force in the world. Just to settle into a cradle of protective trines that keep
us from sinking into despair. Somehow our sense of structure is weathering what
ails us. While we may want to escape into wanton behavior, it is best if we
take time by evening to center and ground ourselves. I plan on just watching
the news and turning it off for the night. Moon in Scorpio.
Wednesday, August 30th, there is a jolt to the Grand Trine
precariously in Leo, Aries and Scorpio and Cancer. Mars/North Node/Mercury
gather energy from Uranus the agent of change and Saturn/Moon in Scorpio. None
of these works well together. But yet, here they are blending their energies.
On a everyday level, this is a day that if you can stay focused on your needs,
the fractions pulling us to change and adapt will hopefully make sense by the
end of the day. All I can say is it will be stressful, exciting, unexpected and
make a lasting impression. Moon in Scorpio.
Thursday, August 31st, that complicated Grand Trine
continues today and tomorrow as Mercury creeps closer to Mars. Mars is going to
be making some sort of big move in these days. It relates to leadership, power
and what has to be done. Cross your fingers that it is something you can live
with. There is so much flowing in the positive that the challenges of your day
will bend to your will by sheer perseverance. No time to feel worn out or lazy.
Let the “fight or flight” response kick in. Moon in Sagittarius.
Blessings and peace,
