Weekly Astro Forecast for August 21 – August 27:
The Full Moon occurred on August 18 and this energy sets the stage through August 24. Since the energies of the Moon will only decrease, weaken, and wane after this point, the Full Moon is the time to either celebrate or to abandon the path that has failed to serve you. The seed you planted during the New Moon phase has grown and blossomed or remained stunted and miserly.
Sunday, August 21. With the Full Moon in Aries, you might be short with someone, but it won’t last because you’ll be onto something new.
Monday, August 22. The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 4:38PM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Aries. 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!
Meanwhile, the Full Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Taurus at 9:19PM UTC Time. With the Moon in Taurus, you might find yourself thinking about the good old days and this nostalgia might be hard to shake it off, or you might feel more emotional than usual.
The Sun (what you want) Sesquisquares Pluto Rx (power and transformation) at 09:55PM UTC Time. You might feel the power and decide to take control, or you might be determined to overcome an obstacle, or you might get into a heated argument with someone because you’re ready to say what needs to be said.
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.
The Sun (what you want) enters the zodiac sign of Virgo at 04:38PM UTC Time. You come into a new cycle of gathering information and looking at details before you put your plans into action. You might have new ideas and be ready to start building something brick by brick but it’s got to be your way.
Mercury (how the mind works) Conjuncts Jupiter (expansion) at 09:04AM UTC Time. With Mercury associated with how the mind works and Jupiter making you think big, you’re going to feel more optimistic and see the big picture. You might decide to take a trip, vacation, or put an important long term goal into action.
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!
Tuesday, August 23. Mars (the troublemaker) Sesquisquares Uranus Rx (the awakener) at 07:14AM UTC Time. You might feel restless, or you might decide to take a risk and act on something without thinking it through.
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.
Wednesday, August 24. The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 7:37PM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Taurus.
William Lilly, a famous astrologer, said that when the Moon is void-of-course in the zodiac signs of Taurus, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Cancer, the Moon can still perform its duties!
Meanwhile, the Full Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Gemini at 11:39PM UTC Time. With the Moon in Gemini, you might feel emotional and need to communicate. You will become a chatter box because you have a lot to say.
Mars (the troublemaker) Conjuncts Saturn (restrictions) at 11:26AM UTC Time. You might decide to get organized and push ahead to get something down. This is the time when the tortoise wins the race by being slow and steady because Saturn will make you “dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s”.
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!
Thursday, August 25. The third quarter phase of the Moon occurs on August 25 at 3:40AM in the zodiac sign of Gemini and this energy sets the stage through August 31. This Moon phase heralds the moment to advance from and release the ties that bind us to the past. After reflecting on your accomplishments, you must accept that you have done everything that was possible for you. Now is the time to heal and revitalize and to wisely plan your next move.
Venus (needs, wants and desires) Inconjuncts Uranus Rx (the awakener) at 09:07AM UTC Time. You might experience a conflict between freedom verses commitment and question what you really want, or you might feel impulsive and just go for it, or you might take a step back. Then again you might spend too much money and go on a shopping binge and need to pay back the piper (the credit card company).
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) is in Opposition with Chiron Rx (the wounded healer) at 02:12AM UTC Time. You might turn your feelings inwards and end up feeling disappointed or insecure in a relationship and look at the negative points instead of the positive points.
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.
Friday, August 26. Mars (the troublemaker) Squares Neptune Rx (the spiritual awakener) at 06:56AM UTC Time. Today is not a good idea to sign on the dotted line or start something because you might hop on a magical carpet ride and not know what you are getting yourself into. Today is the right day to lay low and put big decisions on the back burner.
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!
Saturday, August 27. The third quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 0:30AM UTC Time (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Gemini. 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 third quarter Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Cancer at 3:06AM UTC Time. With the Moon in Cancer, you might feel like a sponge and absorb a situation, or have a hard time letting something go, or have a hard time forgiving someone, or feel nostalgic and find yourself thinking about the good old days.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Conjuncts Jupiter (expansion) at 10:28PM UTC Time. You’re going to feel more optimistic today. You might feel more social, loving and want to share your feelings with your friends or partner, or you might decide to bury the hatchet and make up with someone. It’s also possible you make a large purchase regarding something you love and must have!
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!
See you next week!
