Astrology for week of 8/19-8/25

Monday August 19th MOON DAY

Full Moon in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus

Venus in Virgo first quarter square Jupiter in Gemini

Jupiter in Gemini first quarter square Saturn in Pisces

Moon enters Pisces at 6:51pm

With the Full Moon in Aquarius square Uranus theres an extra emphasis on the need for freedom and liberation in that we are called to be more authentic and true to ourselves. So we could be feeling called to follow a new direction or maybe its chaos and disruption is forcing us to pivot and change. But again it’s for our liberation, to be free from the conditioned and inauthentic ways of being.

Venus is separating from her opposition with Saturn while entering into a first quarter square with Jupiter at the same time as Jupiter is forming a first quarter square with Saturn. This is also a call to new action, things have shifted and we must shift with them.

Mercury still rx, we may still not have all the pieces and answers. Endings during this time are kismet but that doesn’t help the weight of grief. Honor your cycles and diving timing. Trust that the universe is conspiring in your favor. Trust the blocks and redirection, reflect on the deeper meaning of their presence. Keep seeking your inner truth, keep being curious about your path. Let the tower fall and be patient as you wait for the dust to settle.

Tuesday August 20th MARS DAY

Mars in Gemini 20*

Moon in Pisces conjunct Saturn and square Jupiter in Gemini

Mars is separating from the conjunction with Jupiter in Gemini so we’re full of this mental and philosophical exploration, especially after the disruptions over the past few weeks. In the beginning of any hero’s journey, as with the fool card, it’s taking the brave steps into the unknown without fully grasping the outcome. It’s the faith to keep moving forward without knowing the exact details of the path. It’s following your intuition, signs and synchronicities as they unfold.

It’s ok to not know what the heck you’re doing, we’re all in a new place faced with new options and new choices. As it is a Mars day be mindful of the way you are participating with life. Mars is also separating from that first quarter square with Saturn so we need to employ discrimination and boundaries, there’s reverberations for every “yes” or “no” that we use. The moon being in Pisces today can bring the emotional and energetic overwhelm, remember to breathe and ground. Stay focused on those long term goals as you interact with life today.

Getiel, Angel for 21* Gemini

Getiel, help us stay grounded and realistic as we make decisions and participate with life and our unfolding journeys today.

Wednesday August 21st MERCURY DAY

Mercury rx in Leo at 24*

Moon in Pisces square Mars in Gemini, sextile Uranus in Taurus and conjunct Neptune

Moon enters Aries at 7:01pm EST, sextile Pluto in Aquarius

Mercury is continuing to back track through Leo until the 28th of this month. They’re at 24* Leo today, returning to the same degree they were on July 19th so we could be reflecting on the happenings of what was occurring on that date. In Leo, we’re rethinking and reflecting on our purpose and creative pursuits, our passions and vitality and our lust for life.

Moon in Pisces for most of the day we could be feeling spacey and imaginative, a fertile space for our Mercury rx ruminations. Maybe we’re in a space where we can find the deeper meanings and connections or maybe feeling the holiness and reverence within our earthy experiences. Maybe we enter the liminal space that our left brain mapping system cant explain. Whatever and wherever, may a deeper love for ourselves and this experience be found.

Achael, Angel for 24* Leo

Achael, may we be open to new ideas and mental connections about our stories and our creative purposes today.

Thursday August 22nd JUPITER DAY

Jupiter in Gemini at 17*

Moon in Aries conjunct North Node

Sun enters Virgo at 10:55am EST

Venus in Virgo first quarter square to Mars in Gemini

Finally we enter Virgo season where our creative purpose and our vitality is challenged and strengthened by self-analysis, self-improvement and self-adjustment. Then we have the Nodal rulers squaring off in mutable earth and air both mercurial ruled, exploring new choices and directions within our relationships to ourselves and others. Seeking to improve and work on/work through how we are mentally relating and mapping our relational realties. And as it is a Jupiter day and he is just separating from that first quarter square with Saturn we’re shifting into a deeper and more authentic inner truth and our thoughts and actions need to shift to reflect the change.

Javiel, Angel for 18* Gemini

Javiel, help us improve and evolve our personal and relational truths today.

Friday August 24th VENUS DAY

Venus in Virgo at 23* semi sextile new phase to Mercury rx in Leo and gibbous phase inconjunct Chiron in Aries

Mercury rx Leo first quarter trine to Chiron in Aries

Moon in Aries sextile Mars in Gemini and trine Mercury rx in Leo

Moon enters Taurus at 8:00pm EST then squares Pluto in Aquarius and trine Sun in Virgo

The Mercury rx trine Chiron today has us ruminating and rethinking our masculine woundings around taking charge, making decisions, primal impulses, being able to speak up for ourselves. We are looking for more balanced ways to express the energy but we also see the abuse of power wherever we look.

Venus day, she is communing with them both in difficult aspects asking us to analyze and adjust and be more careful and thoughtful in the expression. That’s also very fitting for Venus in Virgo in general where it’s all about self-improvement anyway. But the moon is in Aries so we could be dealing with arguments and frustrations from emotional reactivity and responding impulsively. But the Aries moon could also just help us spit out when we been holding onto or simply give us the courage to participate.

Dahiel, Angel for 24* Virgo

Dahiel, help us improve and find balance within our relationship to our masculine energies today.

Saturday August 24th SATURNS DAY

Saturn in Pisces at 17*

Mars in Gemini last quarter sextile to Mercury rx in Leo

Mars in Gemini crescent phase sextile with Chiron in Aries

Moon in Taurus

Firstly, as it is Saturns day, the focus is on Saturn things like responsibility, maturity, doing the work, putting in the effort and being realistic. Mars is quite active today aspecting Chiron and Mercury. Sextile’s are easy aspects than can go unrecognized because they need conscious effort on our part, how fitting for a Saturn day. The Mars last quarter sextile to Mercury is about speaking up for ourselves, putting thoughts into action and it could easily be assertive word and maybe some arguments. The Mars crescent phase sextile to Chiron is a similar vibe, choosing to think and speak for ourselves. All while the Moon is in Taurus and that’s a beautiful grounding vibe allowing us to slow down and be present with that’s happening.

Chazael, Angel for 17* Pisces

Chazael, help us have the courage to put the effort into asking questions and speaking up for ourselves today.

Sunday August 25th SUNS DAY

Sun in Virgo at 2*

Moon in Taurus square Mercury rx in Leo, trine Venus in Virgo, conjunct Uranus in Taurus and sextile Neptune in Pisces

Moon enters Gemini at 11:03pm, trine Pluto in Aquarius

Suns day with only Moon aspects, both in earth signs. Sun in virgo can have our to-do lists off the chain, agonizing over perfectionism or just denial of the work. We can find a happy balance just trodding alone, focusing on practice over perfection. Today could be great for paying attention to the practical daily life details, working on the yard, prepping for back to school. Remember your body today, let it rest when it needs to and make sure your well fed and hydrated.

Nasael, Angel for 3* Virgo

Nasael, help us slow down and pay attention to the practical daily details today.
