Weekly Tarot Boot Camp Astro Forecast for August 5 – August 11, 2018:
Sunday, August 5, 2018. Your Weekly Astro Forecast starts with 
Mercury Rx (how the mind works) Inconjuncting Pluto Rx (transformation and power) at 05:14 AM UTC. This transit brings you into a do-over to make an adjustment. It’s possible that you latched on to something that you can’t let go of and are mentally stuck and unable to change gears because you are clinging to what happened, or you’re on a fact-finding mission zeroing in on something.
The Third Quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 11:45 PM UTC (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Taurus. This is not a good day to make Big Decisions because the Moon is wandering until she finds her new home in the sign of Gemini.
Monday, August 6, 2018. The Third Quarter Moon makes an ingress and finds her new home in the zodiac sign of Gemini at 1:31 AM UTC. You might find yourself mentally stimulated and start re-evaluating your direction, or you might decide to cut away from old beliefs or philosophies that are not working.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Semisquares Jupiter (expansion) at 09:12 AM UTC. This transit brings you into expansion. You might strive for your freedom and decide to let go of what restricts you, or you might be on a mission in search for true love, or you might be on a search to find a better job.
Mercury Rx (how the mind works) Sesquisquares Saturn Rx (hard work and restrictions) at 06:52 PM UTC. This transit brings you into a do-over to overcome a problem and you might need time out to think things through, or its possible that this problem evolves on it’s own in a few days.
The Sun (what you want) Squares Jupiter (expansion) at 11:27 PM UTC. This transit brings you into the time when you might be set in your ways and won’t want to go back to the School of Hard Knocks, or climb another mountain of setbacks, or crawl through the trenches again because you’re done with learning lessons.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) enters the zodiac sign of Libra and you’ll start a new cycle of change to be devoted to the people you love, or to start new relationships (personal or professional). This transit could also bring out a stubbornness because Venus makes you want to balance the scales your way, or you might make compromises to accommodate others. Either could happen.
Tuesday, August 7, 2018. The Third Quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 7:45 AM UTC (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Gemini. This is not a good day to make Big Decisions because the Moon is wandering until she finds her new home in the sign of Cancer.
Uranus (the awakener) turns retrograde at 04:49 PM UTC. This retrograde begins on August 7, 2018 at 02° Taurus and ends on January 6, 2019 at 28° Aries. Retrograde motion usually sends you on an inward mission to figure something out, but Uranus is different because this planet is unpredictable and marches to the beat of its own drum. Uranus is the revolutionary planet and during this retrograde you might decide to break away from what is not working, or you might decide to untie the knots to heal yourself, or you might experience a new person emerging and put your mark on the world.
During this retrograde Venus will Square Saturn and this transit might affect your love life and money flow. Mars will also Square Uranus and you might act on something without thinking about the consequences.
It’s going to be really hard to contain this erratic energy because you’ll be on a mission to express this New Self that is emerging, but you’ll need to be careful how you get the Old Self out of your system. Try not to hurt others in the process and don’t act until you have thought the situation through.
Wednesday, August 8, 2018. 
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Trines Mars Rx (passion and desire) at 00:32 AM UTC.

The Third Quarter Moon makes an ingress and finds her new home in the zodiac sign of Cancer at 4:00 AM UTC. You’ll be looking for peace and this will be the time when you will want to reorient yourself, or you’ll be looking for closure or completion.
The Sun (what you want) Inconjuncts Neptune Rx (the spiritual awakener) at 11:09 AM UTC. This transit brings you into making an adjustment because you might have a hard time seeing the big picture, or have a hard time focusing on your goals or what needs to be done, or your confidence level might be low. This is not a good day to make important decisions, rather, it’s the right day to lay low and let this energy pass!
Mercury Rx (how the mind works and how you express yourself) Sesquisquares Chiron Rx (the wounded healer) at 11:58 AM UTC. This transit brings you into a do-over to watch what you say because words really do hurt others. You’ll need to curb your communications style and avoid being careless.

You might have a hard time focusing on what went wrong with a relationship and won’t be able to accept each other’s differences, or you might feel closed off and not willing to listen to what someone has to say.
Mars Rx (passion and drive) Semisquares Neptune Rx at 10:44 PM UTC. This transit brings you into a do-over to get organized, but with Neptune floating around in your transit you might have a hard time getting something done, or you might lack the drive you need to get something done, or you might be experiencing a passive and aggressive attitude and have a hard time understanding why you feel this way.

This is not a good day to sign on the dotted line, or to start something new, so try to postpone any new activities.

Saturday, August 11, 2018. Mercury Rx (how the mind works) Squares Jupiter (expansion) at 06:31 AM UTC.

There will be a Partial Solar Eclipse (New Moon) that occurs at 9:57 AM in the zodiac sign of Leo. The Solar Eclipse will move through the zodiac sign of Leo (the Sun and Moon are both in the sign of Leo and Conjunct).

See you next week!
