Weekly Forecast: 8/23/21 through 8/29/21

 

Monday, August 23rd ~ Today we have the moon in Pisces all day, casting a net of sensitivity across deep waters. Our emotions may feel all-consuming, but with Venus and Saturn meeting in trine this morning at 8:47am EST, we may find it helpful to take a step back from overwhelming feeling and balance it out with rational thought. Getting a second opinion and finding ways to be objective are helpful before making a decision. The moon opposes both Mars (12:42pm EST) and Mercury (10:02pm EST) in Virgo before the day is through. Communication is more beneficial when we give ourselves time and space to process heavier emotions before involving others who might possibly be affected. Talking with trusted friends is one thing, but making an impulsive choice we might later regret is another. Working with the Pisces moon can be extremely vulnerable feeling, but allows us to explore the furthest reaches of our intuition and its subtleties. 

Tuesday, August 24th ~ Today we start with the moon in Pisces, entering a conjunction with Neptune at 12:49am EST. Dreams can be quite lucid and interesting under this aspect. We may find ourselves disappearing into another realm of focus. Frequency can be shifted to experience entirely new levels of perception under this morning's aspects. The moon is void of course from 5:13am until 2:56pm EST when it ingresses Aries. The almost 10 hour void is like a window to that other world. You could experience something profound in meditation, dreams, or in conversation, or maybe you just disappear into an active daydream for quite some time. The moon's emergence into Aries brings us riding back into the physical plane as if on a chariot of fire. Suddenly we may desire action and experience an urge to shift our circumstances right away. Mercury and Neptune are in opposition tonight at 9:13pm EST. Something is lost in translation between our internal experience and the words required to convey it. We may find that being in the present moment in a situation is enough. Describing it later could take away some deeper meaning. Be with it and allow it to be what it is. You may need to fully digest the encounter before being able to let another in on it.

Wednesday, August 25th ~ We have the moon in Aries all day today, acting as a fire starter. A blaze of creativity sweeps through as the moon sextiles the North Node at 3:03am EST and sextiles Saturn at 6:57am EST. We feel inspired to take a direct action and move toward a longstanding goal. Saturn brings a sense of tangibility to our desires, ensuring that we will see and directly experience the results of our work. The moon opposes Venus at 11:56am EST; this transit coupled with the fact that the moon is in Aries suggests most will prefer exploring and completely projects on their own. Navigating group work can feel as though it is slowing the whole process down, at least for today. If you are teaming up with someone else, consider delegating specific jobs and then break apart to complete them at your own pace. The moon later enters into a conjunction with Chiron at 1:59pm EST, which suggests emotional healing comes through standing up for your own beliefs and for moving in the direction of independence.

Thursday, August 26th ~ The moon is in Aries all day, creating a deep need to start something fresh. We get more satisfaction today from initiating the new rather than throwing ourselves into an ongoing, older project. Venus and Chiron are in opposition, perfecting at 9:23am EST. Relationships offer a springboard for healing. We may notice a kind of mirror effect, where the friends and family we encounter today are showing us exactly what is going on for us internally. If someone seems to limit your choices, consider where you are limiting your own choices. This is likely to be more noticeable with those we have close relationships with rather than strangers in the grocery store. You may also feel compelled to work on something creatively which allows you deep catharsis and an opportunity to confront some longstanding block. The moon sextiles Jupiter and then is void of course from 5:15pm EST until tomorrow morning. The evening offers more optimism and a desire to explore and have fun. Despite the transformative transits going on, you may find it possible to work with them in a joyful manner. Excitement for future possibilities builds overnight.

Friday, August 27th ~ Today and tomorrow are both very quiet astrologically. This morning the moon is void of course until 12:26am EST when it ingresses Taurus. Immediately we find we long for more relaxation. Security seems attractive today, be it material or more conceptual. The moon enters a trine with the Sun at 9:19am EST, which is a harmonizing transit that creates an easeful flow between emotions and self-expression. Later in the day, the moon squares Saturn at 5:04pm EST. We may feel like putting aside responsibilities in favor of enjoyment and recuperating lost energy. Doing work or projects will be more beneficial if you are having fun while you're doing it; forcing yourself to accomplish things today while fighting them every step of the way will not yield long-term satisfaction.

Saturday, August 28th ~ The moon is in Taurus all day today, entering a conjunction with Uranus this morning at 5:51am EST. You may notice aesthetic details more this morning, and feel inspired by what they bring. Wanting to surround yourself with the fragrance of roses, wearing soft velvet, listening to beautiful music, and eating delicious foods are all examples of how to interact with this energy. The moon later tries Mars at 2:14pm EST and sextiles Neptune at 8:55pm EST. Enjoyment is the key word for the day. Exploring nature, baking a cake, lighting a candle or stick of incense, dancing, going out on a date... these are just a few ways to dig into this. The evening brings a softer vibration that encourages us to merge with others. We could feel quite tender and romantic, or platonically loving toward friends, family, and all of the world. Expand into this energy by sitting in meditation. Picture yourself sending a white light out to your room, your house, your yard, your street, your block, your city, your region, your country, and out to the world. Send it out into space if you want, reverberating infinitely.

Sunday, August 29th ~ We begin with the Taurus moon trining Pluto at 1:50am, and the Sun entering an exact square with the North Node at 2:55am EST. We could feel stubborn and impatient, wanting to know what is going to happen next. Something outside of our control could feel like it is obscuring our destiny. Remember that this process is co-creative. You have a say in what happens, even if it feels like it's outside of your control. The moon trines Mercury at 10:58am EST before moving void of course. Communication and being clear about your wants and desires is a way out of confusion and fogginess. The moon is void from 10:59am until it ingresses Gemini at 12:41pm EST. The rest of the day is free from all major planetary aspects. Multitasking brings a sense of possibility this afternoon and evening. Remain curious and open.
