Leo the Lion rules August. It is a creative, festive and generous energy. After last year, we are soaking up every drop of gatherings, concerts, sports, art, family and friends. Peak liveliness of summertime playfulness heralds us as the month opens. The Sun and Messenger Mercury are tightly paired opposing Taskmaster Saturn in Aquarius on Day 1 of August. Creativity and innovation abound. The first week of the month is an excellent time to start work on creative pursuits or launch projects already underway. Or, perhaps you are at a cross roads with any endeavor and don’t know which way to turn, including stubborn relationship issues. Well the good new is: answers and solutions envelop us this first week of August to solve conundrums that arise.
Earth energies temper our giddy-up. Radical Uranus aligns with Valuable Venus all
week to help us prepare, plan and execute our go-get-em ideas. Grounding, real deal flow continues for the
balance of August as Motivating Mars joins Venus in Virgo. While ideal for getting $#!T done and making
things happen, the duo can level guilt like a caustic grandmother to incite
feelings that you never quite measure up.
Rest assured, YOU DO. So pay not
mind to the critics. Virgo rules habits,
practices and systems. Do not allow
overthinking or a critical mindset to dominate your head space. Rather, harness
this humbling energy to begin healthy, new practices: positive affirmations, exercise routines,
clean eating habits. It takes 60 days to
instill a habit so that it becomes automatic.
I analyze is Virgo’s key
phrase. Hit the pause button to
scrutinize what is not working in
your life and how you can clean up
what should be purged, whether your residence or routines.
Knowing what needs to stay or go in your world going
forward, as well as what you want to bring more of to integrate, is key as we
approach the New Moon in Leo on Sunday, August 8th. This is a WILDLY
innovative, romantic and festive New Moon.
Be sure to hand write 3-5 goals that you aim to accomplish over the next
month or season. Plant in the earth or
set safely alight. Leo IS
leadership. Fierce, generous and game
for anything. If you have been
contemplating taking a chance or leap of faith, now is the time with this New
Moon! GO FOR IT.
Messenger Mercury loosely conjoins the Leo Sun and Moon,
strengthening our resolve and emboldening our minds and hearts with bravery we
didn’t know we had. You do have it in you to live your dream. What reality do you want to create? The planetary combination of Leo courage and
Virgo skilled planning pave the way. Especially from August 8th to
the 11th as Valuable Venus aligns to powerful Pluto. Grab hold of this practical force to build
what you want to grow. It is as
ingenious and inspirational a time as we’ve had in a while. So make the most of it.
The next day, Thursday, August 12th, Messenger
Mercury continues enhancing Virgo precision.
Our minds and words are laser sharp.
Mercury and Mars gradually align with change agent Uranus over the next
week, through Friday, August 20th.
Have a particular goal in mind?
Seek to implement a new system?
Want to change your life for the better?
This troika is it! Mercury-Mars-Uranus give us the raw
material to plan, create and execute exactly the reality we want. Afforded to us now is: work horse, data oriented, hands on, not
afraid to get its hands dirty, and ethical to boot energy. It is a streamlined force to create effectual
change.
Gears begin shifting on Monday, August 16th as
Valuable Venus turns into her own sign of Libra. She graces our relationships with a gentility
and eye for beauty; softens our interests and knows how to attract and appeal
to others, whether family, business or romantic relations. Venus invariably helps wherever she cycles
through your life, bringing resources, talents and just the right people to
smooth our path forward. Over the next
week, she gradually aligns to Taskmaster Saturn in Aquarius, culminating on
August 23rd. Together, they
network like crazy, solve technology problems, design innovative décor, devices
and strategies, particularly well with groups and teams. Use this flowing connective energy of
Venus-Saturn in air signs to your advantage.
We will need all the help we can get as we enter one of the
trickiest passages of 2021. On Thursday,
August 19th Radical Uranus turns retrograde motion. Its function, the very purpose of Uranus is to
change. This outer planet is known
as the Great Awakener, but also, the Great Disruptor. Often, human beings only awaken when life is
interrupted. Get stuck in a rut? Things going a little too smoothly? Enter Uranus to break things up. When we are thrown off kilter, most likely we
hit the pause and re-set button. What just happened? We ask.
Then, why? In the course of
exploring why our lives are disrupted, we discover the new. New approaches, aspects and facets that may
have remained unknown and unused had we not been pushed a different
direction. The term happy accident is very Uranian.
SURPRISE!
Whenever the unpredictable planet Uranus shifts gears,
either direct motion, or in this case, retrograde, life can take some pretty
unusual turns. It’s not called Radical
Uranus for nothing. What makes the
August 19th Uranus retrograde shift particularly notable is that it
occurs three days before the Full Moon on Sunday, August 22nd. Any Full Moon brings heightened awareness and
sensitivity. August’s full moon occurs
at the final degree of Aquarius (sign ruled by Uranus) and the opposing Sun in
dramatic Leo. To say the third weekend
of August may be filled with shock and awe is an understatement. Brace yourself. Any rebellious elements fomenting underneath
the surface may explode unexpectedly between the 19th and 23rd.
Take care and take it easy.
If you can, lay low that weekend.
I’m not one, by personality or by astrological counsel, to lean toward
pessimism. But I would be remiss if I
didn’t call for caution when necessary.
August 19-23rd is one such time. So help yourself and others by choosing
gentle words and actions now.
Frenzied energetic waves tossing us about like toy boats
gives way to calmer frequencies by the 24th. Thank
heaven! We may very well have some
clean up to do in the aftermath of the Full Moon-Uranus Retrograde
cyclone. As we return back to school and
work toward August’s end, Messenger Mercury moves into lovely Libra. Our minds and mouths now seek balance,
consideration of others. We take into
account the impact and consequences we may have on the lives of those around
us. Never a bad thing in my estimation
to gauge how our loved ones and those we rely on may experience the ripples we
create. Minding our words and estimating
how these fall on others’ ears, how another receives
our message, is the first step toward wisdom. Step
lively.
