AUGUST: An action packed August begins with a Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius on the 7th, that is a Lunar Eclipse! This is a powerful energy that will surface with action oriented, progressive plans that result in major changes for every sign!
On the 12th, our little trickster Mercury will station retrograde for the next three weeks in Virgo; sign of details and service. You may have already felt the shadow’s influence as this time to wind down and REdo, REview, and REconnect approaches! Remember not to make major decisions or purchases now; but to let go and clear away for the new to come to you; whether it be in your home, work or relationship or health areas! In fact this is a wonderful time to REview a wellness plan and get back on track after the summer fun! Fiery Mars is enjoying it’s transit in Leo; giving generously, expressing warmth and boosting confidence in this sign of great splendor!
The New Moon in Leo on the 21st is a Total Solar Eclipse which can be seen in it’s totality across the USA! From Oregon on down diagonally across the country to South Carolina, the moon will cast a shadow blocking the sunlight when it moves
between the Earth and Sun! This powerful celestial phenomena will have profound personal and global effects; especially here in America where it can be seen! The Sun enters Virgo on the 22nd to direct our attention to details; but when Venus visits Leo on the 25th, we will have a hard time resisting the dramatic and luxurious desires it brings!
SEPTEMBER: The last three weeks of summer begin as action planet Mars visits industrious Virgo on the 5th. This is a great time to focus energy on practical duties and needs. On the same day, just hours later, Mercury will begin to move forward; ending its retrograde phase. When it joins Mars on the 9th a time of attention to details and planning will be put into action for the rest of this month! A Full Corn Moon in Pisces lights up the sky on September 6th bringing out an amazing amount of creative and intuitive influences! Topics that surface will see opportunity for change as our imagination and ideas can transform and challenge us to find solutions.
Love planet Venus is ardent and romantic while travelling through Leo; but on the 19th she brings her beauty and popularity to discriminating Virgo. High standards are the focus now as the planet of love gets practical; and by joining Mercury and Mars, the influences are all directed to a no nonsense approach to whatever we do.
A New Moon also in Virgo on the 20th gets us ready and organized for this lunar cycle to take us into the fall! On the 22nd when the Sun enters Libra and brings the first day of Autumn, the season of change and harvest will be beginning as we transition from summer and prepare for winter! Mercury enters Libra on the 29th helping us weigh the pros and cons of all decisions going forward.
