August will be bringing some distressing and exciting astrology transits and
planetary shifts. It is Leo season. Leo is a fire sign and Leo SZN is bringing
the heat. Tensions will rise towards the middle of the month. Mark the week
of the 14th and 15th on your calendars for some intense energy!
8/4/24 New Moon in Leo: The Sun and Moon link up in Leo bringing us a
New Moon. This New Moon will be full of passionate and creative vibes.
Take time, as at all New Moons, to plan ahead for new adventures and
projects. Motivation will be at a high level with a sextile to Mars! Leo highlights our need to express ourselves, so don’t be shy about being exactly who you are!
8/4/24 Venus enters Virgo: Venus in Virgo is under pressure, under control,
and underrated. Venus in Virgo is self-controlled, perfectionistic, and
always willing to help. Virgo Venus falls head over heels for a quick wit and
good conversation. You gotta be smart to woo this Venus sign! Acts of
service is the way to this Venus placements heart and they will return the
favor with pleasure. If you are dating a Virgo Venus, remember to give
them deserved praise for their hard work because they are always working
hard to make other happy. Virgo Venus has high expectations and can be
nagging at times. Their best matches are Earth and Water signs. They
have been known to get along surprisingly well with Gemini who is ruled by
Mercury as Virgo is.
8/5/24 Mercury Retrograde in Virgo entering Leo 8/14: Time to slow it
down! This year has been moving too fast! This is a good time to stop and
reflect on what you wanted to accomplish and if you have done it. Come up
with some plans to do what you want most in the last months of 2024. Virgo
is a planner, so the Virgo energy will help with this. As always be mindful of
technology glitches and appliances on the fritz. Travel plans can get messy,
and you may need a plan B and C! Have patience with yourself and others
now.
8/14/24 Mars conjunct Jupiter in Gemini: This year has been and is full of
Mars transits. It is a Mars heavy year and with two ongoing wars, and a
recent assassination attempt, it is obvious. Mars is aggressive, violent, and
angry energy. When Mars conjuncts expansive Jupiter, this energy gets
expanded, agitated, and can explode. Tread lightly now. Avoid arguments
when you can. Jupiter is an instigator here. We may all feel annoyed at
small things. I truly hope we avoid the violence we saw last month. This is
very similar energy. It can be just as erratic. My Gemini and Sagittarius
friends out there will feel this most.
8/15/24 Mars and Jupiter Square Saturn: Yikes! So if Mars being conjunct
Jupiter isn’t enough, this square could tip the scales. Saturn brings
stagnant, stoic, and frustrating energy. A square itself is an agitating
aspect. With the violent and angry nature of Mars being expanded by
Jupiter, this square could bring some outbursts. The intense energy of Mars
cannot be controlled. Saturn loves to control. Gemini being involved for me
highlights transportation and communication. We all need to watch our
mouths right now! Don’t say what you will regret later. Drive slower. Walk
slower. I warn you to be cautious now.
8/19 Full Moon in Aquarius: So, I thought that maybe this Full Moon in
humanitarian Aquarius would be a sweet one. Boy was I wrong! The Full
Moon in Aquarius, Sun in Leo, and Uranus in Taurus form a T-Square. This
brings the unexpected. Uranus loves to shake things up and brings random
occurrences you never saw coming. Be on guard. Your emotions also could
be all over the place for now leaving you feeling very much out of control.
There is secondly another T-Square at the same time with Saturn in Pisces
opposing Venus in Virgo forming a square to Mars and Jupiter still conjunct!
Venus is truly the outlier here wishing for love and peace. Mars conjunct
Jupiter squaring Saturn wants a good fight. We will all feel this tension.
Hang tight for about a week till this energy fades.
8/22/24 Sun moves into Virgo: Happy Birthday Virgo! Its time to do some
fall cleaning! Virgo is tidy, organized, and controlled. They like things to be
just so and if you don’t hit them mark, you will know it! Virgo is blunt and
tells it how it is. Go to Libra for some sugar-coated advice. Virgo keeps it
real! They are obsessive about making things better than they were. They
are the secondhand shoppers of the zodiac. They take what they found and
put a crafty spin on it to make it better than it was before. Though they are
known to nag, it is only because they care. Virgo is quick witted with a
sharp intellect. If they don’t have the answer they will find it. If you can
handle their bold honesty, they make a wonderful friend.
8/28/24 Mercury Retrograde ends! Mercury will move forward in Leo and
back into Virgo. What have you learned?
8/29/24 Venus enters Libra: Venus is at home in the sensual sign of Libra.
Those with this placement are naturally creative and have an eye for style.
They are drawn to the arts and love to create art. They love to be wined
and dined and will do the same for you to show their love. They love a good
meal at a fancy restaurant. Their lovers must know quality over quantity is
the way to their heart. They may be a tad superficial, preferring shiny things
to home grown crated gifts. Libra Venus will put you first and is a people
pleaser. They must guard against their kindness being mistaken for
weakness. They must learn that they deserve the love they so often give
away so freely.
Buckle up! August will be a wild ride!
