Discover what the stars hold for you! Explore the astrological forecast for August 25 - 31, 2024

8/26  ::  Ceres Direct in CAPRICORN (until Dec 7th):
Now that you have reviewed your life and how you have evolved in your own nurturing needs, you can start to consider how to go forward. This is yet another indication of initiating new ways of nourishing ourselves and nurturing others that is up for renewal. It’s time to achieve a dream that is really close to your heart and it can be a good time to nurture a business if that is what you are initiating at this time – it reminds me of advice I give to those with Cancer/Capricorn activated: Treat family like a business and business like a family. What I mean by that is: to have really good boundaries, excellent communication & conscious awareness of the family needs when dealing with loved ones (that you share many lessons and much karma with) … and at the same time, in business or dealing with the public, you want to treat them like the kinfolk they really are – your sisters and brothers, trying to figure life out just like you are. In Capricorn, the Council of Grandmothers are present and remind us that there is an element of social responsibility with this placement, it is time to be completely responsible for your footprint on this planet and it is time to look beyond your Self to see what you are actually contributing to the planet at this time. Are you leaving it better than you found it? It really is a delicious opportunity for us to start fresh, with new structures in place that honor everyone’s true purpose on Earth. Let’s begin to visualize a world where more people know their true purpose and understand & honor it naturally and joyfully.

8/27  ::  Venus (resources & relationships) ~trine~ Uranus (freedom & liberation):
This energy is bound to infuse a touch of excitement into your life, presenting opportunities to explore new avenues and intentionally immerse yourself in situations that demand improvisation or quick-thinking. We are amid a phase of breaking old patterns and reshaping them into more positive and effective forms. While you can still embody your true values & priorities, there has been a shift within you. This cosmic blessing enables alignment with greater personal integrity & authenticity, which permeates into everything you cherish and hold dear. Relationships might feel unusually charged. Established relationships could experience a shake-up, adding a sprinkle of extra “spice,” while new relationships sparked during this time may be invigorating and unconventional, yet potentially short-lived. However, this brevity is not necessarily negative! It is an ideal opportunity for experimenting with fresh ideas and new ways of expressing, discovering what truly resonates with your heart. Use this energy to soak up some good energy & rare wisdom from those who are unique, those who do things differently and live life to the fullest!

8/28  ::  Venus (relationships) ~oppose~ Neptune (illusion):
This is special because it is happening at the potent, final degree of Virgo/Pisces. We have evolved and come a long way. This activation helps us to beware of delusions of grandeur where our relationships (old and new) and/or our finances are concerned. Basically, you should keep your true priorities in mind and you will be fine, but if you are deluded to any extent, it may be revealed at this time. It is time to balance what is truly important to you in your interactions with others and the vision for the long-term goal of the collaboration. You can have an ideal romantic experience with this energy, but remember true love takes time, hard work & dedication, while romance tends to come and go. This energy tends to make you give and give and give in a relationship thinking that it will inspire the other to respond in kind, and ultimately you end up empty-handed & drained because your motives weren’t correct, you were doing it with expectations (consciously or not), which almost always will let you down. Giving with any expectation generally leads to disappointment. A better use of this energy is to focus on any kind of artistic or altruistic endeavors.

8/28  ::  Mercury Direct in LEO (until Sept 9th):
We are still in a “process” so don’t get too excited just yet. Post-Shadow is just as important as the rest of it, as it allows you to integrate the mental changes you have just gone through. As it goes Direct in Leo, it is a strong reminder to get creative and be open, optimistic, playful & detached from outcome as you play with new ways of communicating with others and expressing your Self in more authentic ways going forward. The idea is to pay attention to how the external begins to reflect the upgrade to your internal consciousness as you integrate all that you’ve learned in the last year or so.

8/29  ::  Venus Enters LIBRA (until Sept 22nd):
Venus (values, priorities, resources, love, art, beauty, culture) in Libra (balance, reciprocity, relationships) is a time to restore balance within your Being and develop a new sense of self-worth & self-value. This is an opportunity to renegotiate the terms of your primary relationships and determine what is no longer important to you, while preparing to go deeper. If you align your priorities within your own Being, as well as within your primary relationships of *NOW* ~ then it will make the deep dive into the potent Scorpio energy more productive (and less debilitating). When Venus is in Libra, it is time to assess your priorities and reestablish balance with a cool head (Air Sign), what’s fair, just and worth it for you, by your own definition. It’s time to take an honest look at how you, your life and choices affect those closest to you. And you want to reflect on how effective your choices actually are (or have been) in attracting your heart’s desires. Remember, Libra is the lesson of “balance & reciprocity” which must be considered before taking on the Scorpio lesson of “karma & creation”, otherwise you only create more “karma & creations” to clean up along the way. Venus will always remind you that you ARE what you attract and you show the Universe what you value by what you spend your primary resources on (time, energy, money). So use this time to recalibrate things consciously and look for new ways of relating.

8/29  ::  Venus (relationships & resources) ~trine~ Pluto (purification & transformation):
When Pluto enters the scene, intensity rises, allowing you to perceive your SoulSelf with heightened clarity. Venus, on the other hand, illuminates what truly matters to you—your personal values, priorities & preferences around your relationships & resources. If change is in the air, then this harmonious alignment facilitates smoother purification & transformation than usual. So, what changes are you prepared to make? How have your values & priorities shifted in the past year? Utilize this activation to deepen connections with those closest to your heart, encouraging relationships to evolve to their own natural next levels. If you are focused on improving your relationship with money or self-worth, consider using this time for prayer or ritual to support positive change and envision a brighter future. Harness any intense emotions or poignant revelations by channeling them into art or creating a vision board, expressing the profound depths emerging from within and rising into your conscious awareness. This energy tends to amplify relationships and intensifies emotions, fostering a strong emotional & physical attraction toward someone else. It encourages a compelling need to express love mentally, emotionally, or physically. Such intensity can also bring deeper insights to the surface, ultimately strengthening any relationships, partnerships or collaborations. Relationships initiated under this influence typically carry a heightened intensity, just as any form of creative expression, whether artistic or otherwise.
