Weekly Astro Forecast for August 7 – August 13:
The New Moon occurred in the zodiac sign of Leo on August 2 at 8:44PM UTC Time. The New Moon phase sets the stage through August 9 and this will be the time to commit to personal goals and to get things done. You’ll probably feel more driven and motivated, or you might get hit with a touch of spring fever and decide to clean out all the cobwebs and make new changes.
Sunday, August 7. Mercury (how the mind works) is in opposition with Neptune Rx (the spiritual awakener) at 04:24PM UTC Time. You might be quick on the draw when it comes to saying what needs to be said, so just be careful how you use your trigger today! It’s possible you won’t like being told what to do, or maybe you’ll tell someone else what they should to do. Try not to cause drama or you might have to deal with the consequences.
The planets don’t like each other and you’ll feel torn or divided by circumstances and experience an inner struggle that needs to be resolved in order to move forwards.
The Sun (what you want) Inconjuncts Pluto Rx (power and transformation) at 02:11PM UTC Time. You will need to make an adjustment to make the changes you need to make. If you do not make adjustments, you might end up spinning your wheels.
The planets don’t understand each other and cannot merge. They are in conflict and you might need to make an adjustment because you may force something to happen!
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Squares Mars (the troublemaker) at 00:19AM UTC Time. You might run into a struggle with your partner today, or have a hard time getting what you want. You might feel impulsive and go on a shopping binge and need to pay back the piper (the credit card company) at a later date.
The planets are experiencing tension and you’ll feel challenged to release what you’ve been holding on to so you’re not restricted, but you might walk into a nasty storm if you’re not careful!
Monday, August 8. The New Moon begins void-of-course at 5:41PM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Libra. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
Sometimes the void-of-course phase makes you feel like you got out on the wrong side of your bed — you feel irritable or in a bad mood because you stepped into a crisis-in-action before you’ve had your first cup of coffee or you just start off with the wrong foot forward!
Tuesday, August 9. The New Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Scorpio at 4:51AM UTC Time. With the Moon in Scorpio, you might find yourself going though emotional highs and lows and have a hard time dealing with the roller coaster of emotions.
Mercury (how the mind works) Conjuncts North Node Rx (the future) at 4:40PM UTC Time. You might feel inspired to work with others today to get something done that is important.
The stars like you today. The planets are united and agree with each other because they are very close, but might send you into a blind spot because you’re too close to a situation!
Wednesday, August 10. The first quarter Moon occurs in the zodiac sign of Scorpio on August 10, and this energy sets the stage through August 17. This Moon phase brings you into the time of “Check-Point-Charlie,” the time of needing to check to see where you’re at and determine if you need to change something or work harder to realize a dream or accomplish something important to you.
Mercury (how the mind works) Trines Pluto Rx (power and transformation) at 1:24PM UTC Time. You might feel on the ball today and focused on what you need to get done, or you might get hit with a bit of insight.
The stars like you today and you won’t feel challenged – just don’t take something for granted!
Thursday, August 11. The first quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 5:21AM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Scorpio. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
Meanwhile, the first quarter Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius at 5:23PM UTC Time. With the Moon in Sagittarius, you might feel restless and seek a new adventure. You might think big and decide to overcome something and put the situation way behind you.
Friday, August 12. Jupiter (expansion) is in opposition with Chiron Rx (the wounded healer) at 11:59PM UTC Time. You might need to face a challenge and realign your belief system because the choices you made in the past might not align with the choice you want to make in the future.
You might need to look within to figure out what is important to you. Something may end but something new may begin. Just be careful and do not walk blindly into something that is not right for you. If you are not sure, don’t leap!
The planets don’t like each other and you’ll feel torn or divided by circumstances and experience an inner struggle that needs to be resolved in order to move forwards.
Saturday, August 13. The first quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 5:36PM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Squares Saturn Rx (restrictions) at 09:49AM UTC Time. You might have a hard time getting what you want, or you might feel over sensitive, or you might want to distance yourself from others. This is also not a good day to make large purchases, or start something new.
The planets are experiencing tension and you’ll feel challenged to release what you’ve been holding on to so you’re not restricted, but you might walk into a nasty storm if you’re not careful!
Saturn (restrictions) turns direct at 09:49AM UTC Time. Saturn will not leave the last shadow period until November, 19, 2016, so we are not out of the woods yet!
On August 13, Saturn enters the last shadow period which lasts until the planet returns to the original degree it was when it started retrograde motion. The last shadow period is a time when the energies are still mixed up, but once the planet passes the last shadow period, you will be able to move forward again, without redoing things and experiencing delays! The last shadow period ends when the planet passes the degree it started retrograde motion.
Saturn retrograde brings you into a time when you are going to reevaluate what you want to do. You might feel uncertain and very uncomfortable with proceeding forward. You may Delay your decision, or just say No or even End something entirely because you will not let others push you in a direction that you are not ready to initiate.
Jupiter (expansion) Inconjuncts Uranus Rx (the awakener) at 09:01AM UTC Time. You might feel restless, or find it hard to agree on your direction today. Just don’t force something to happen if you are not sure.
The planets don’t understand each other and cannot merge. They are in conflict and you might need to make an adjustment because you may force something to happen!
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Sesquisquares Uranus Rx (the awakener) at 07:32AM UTC Time. Today might be an unpredictable day. You might decide you want your freedom and break away from a relationship, or you might experience a financial upset, or you might decide to start something new and take it for a spin.
The planets don’t understand each other, but you’ll probably feel determined to move forwards without a clear understanding of what you are getting yourself into.
See you next week!
