August 19-26, 2024

This week starts with the Full Moon, so we will notice a swell of emotion. How do we deal with those emotional shifts? Are we riding the waves or fighting the tide?

August 19

This day is jam packed. Please read last week’s post to catch it all.

August 22

The Sun moves into Virgo- This is a time to highlight a change of “seasons” for most of us. Summer is wrapping up and there is a change in the air. We may be getting ready to go back to school or our kids are preparing. We may want to squeeze in one more quick vacation or downtime before getting back into the rhythm of work. We may notice a need to organize: our schedule, our closets, our daily lives. We may be critiquing what needs to shift or adjust as the summer winds down. Notice the details. Mercury is RX in Leo currently, so we may need to review and revise. Look to your Virgo house for where you need to get grounded and discern the best course of action and communications. 

Venus in Virgo squares Mars in Gemini at 22 degrees- we may notice discord in our relationships. We may want something to go one way, but our partner wants another. How can we shift and adjust? Think of when you dance with someone, if someone is leading then someone else needs to follow. Maybe it’s time for a role change. Maybe one partner is always the practical one and the other is more social. How could a role reversal spark eachother’s curiosity? 

August 23

Mercury RX in Leo trine Chiron in Aries at 23 degrees- Think back to mid-July when this aspect already occurred. Is there a theme you are noticing? A trine is an easy flowing energy, but may be so subtle you may not notice the support you are receiving. This is a chance to review or reconsider any communications you are receiving that help you make some headway in healing. Perhaps a friend reminds you how much you’ve been working through, and you take a moment to take that in, and realize you have taken some risks and it’s been worth it. Maybe it’s an internal mental shift where you see how things have been aligned in your favor. Take a moment to accept the support with gratitude.

Mercury RX in Leo sextile Mars in Gemini at 22 degrees- Communication and action work hand in hand today. You’re ready to make a decision.  Whatever you’ve been reassessing in some mental capacity informs the action you’d like to take. Perhaps it’s a “take two” energy, or you may be feeling you’ve already given it a try, but this time, it feels a little smoother or you are making some headway. Let your curiosity guide your plans. 

Mars in Gemini sextile Chiron RX in Aries at 23 degrees- Perhaps all the mental energy ruminating over a recent decision has taken its toll on you, but by making a choice you’re ready to move on from any stalled energy and push ahead. You may be seeing something from another person’s perspective and that feels cathartic. Gather whatever intel you need to help you make a decision and move on. 

**My intention with these weekly astrology reports is something like looking at a weather app. If you know it will rain, you’ll bring an umbrella. Awareness can help us navigate the Astro “weather” too. I  hope to share this information in an easily digestible way (not too much jargon).  Please read this information knowing that these energies can appear in higher or lower forms.
