This week’s astrology forecast:

August 3rd – 9th     

 Message for the week:

We went to a gym over the weekend to watch our twin grandson’s basketball tournament. As I was coming back to my seat after a break in the game, two parents were yelling at each other so loudly that I thought fists were going to be thrown. When I got back to my seat I discovered that three of our team’s parents were thrown out of the gym for complaining about the referees—Geeze! Its volatile out there. Wildfires are raging like never before, wars are expanding, such are these times.

That being said, the astrology available for us for this week looks relatively calm with the Sun trine to stabilizing Saturn being the only major aspect. Wednesday is the only exception and deserves a bit of caution of potential power struggles, but otherwise, a smooth week prevails. Mercury moves into Leo by week’s end, joining the Sun and Jupiter and bringing greater playfulness in all communications.

Monday: You are going to want to jump into this day with the Moon in fast-starting Aries in a flowing trine to the Sun/Jupiter conjunction, enhancing confidence and fueling optimism. You may have to hit the brakes this afternoon to work through some obstacle, when the Moon collides with Saturn, the brick wall—perseverance furthers. Chiron, the wounded healer, turns retrograde (inward) today, signaling the time to heal yourself.

Tuesday: You may start the day feeling a bit at odds with yourself with the Moon in enthusiastic Aries square to Mercury, giving mixed messages from your head and your heart. However, things smooth out as soon as you get going, with the Moon moving into a supportive sextile to empowering Mars. You can slow down and relax a bit this evening when the Moon enters grounded Taurus conjunct Chiron—share the wealth.

Wednesday: A “heads up” day with the Moon in determined Taurus in a volatile T-square to the Sun/Jupiter conjunction in opposition to Pluto. It might be best to keep to your own projects during this noncooperative energy, which triggers stubborn resistance to change.

Thursday: Ah! Yesterday’s storm clouds have disappeared and a most harmonious day is before us. Venus enters her strongest sign, Libra, today and the Sun is trine to Saturn—harmony prevails. A good day for financial transactions while the Moon is in green-fingered Taurus in a stimulating sextile to clever Mercury. The Moon enters curious Gemini late tonight trine to Venus—great for stimulating engagements and flirtatious conversations, etc.

Friday: Your mind may be super-charged this morning when the Moon is in variety-seeking Gemini conjunct electrifying Uranus and in harmony with both Neptune and Pluto—you might want to have a notepad at hand to write down inspired thoughts and ideas that could come to you during this cosmic opening. Reach for opportunities that present themselves, with the Moon in supportive harmony with opportunistic Jupiter. A great evening for socializing and engaging in meaningful conversation with others with the Moon in a flowing trine clarity-bringing Saturn.

Saturday: A good day to allow serendipity and whimsy to be your guides with the Moon in open-minded, inquisitive Gemini with no disruptive aspects. Excellent for all social encounters and for sharing ideas with others. The Moon does conjunct fiery Mars very late tonight, which could lead to hotheadedness and words said with anger. If you feel yourself heating up, perhaps count to 10 before speaking, rather than saying something you will regret.   

Sunday: A good morning to sleep in, particularly if you are in a delicious dream, with the Moon in snuggling Cancer in a T-square to the Venus/Neptune opposition, when fantasy may seem yummier than reality. The fog clears as the day gets going, and with no other aspects, you are free to nurture what you most care about and to pamper yourself a bit. Mercury moves into cheerful Leo, joining the Sun and Jupiter, bringing a more playful quality to all communications.

May the stars be with you!
