Tarot Card One – 3 of Cups

Sip, Sip, Hooray!

Are you ready to raise your glass to life with your closest soul friends? It’s a time for laughter that echoes through the cosmos, for revelry that knows no bounds, and for sharing secrets that bond you even tighter. Because the people we surround ourselves with hold the power to shape our very existence.

Cosmic Connection

The Universe, in all its infinite wisdom, has a knack for bringing together souls that vibrate on the same cosmic frequency. Your sacred friendships? They’re like the essential elements of life – air, water, earth, and fire. They sustain you, they ignite your spirit, and they sprinkle your path with unconditional love (and, okay, maybe a touch of drama).

Seeking Kindred Spirits

So, here’s the 3 of Cups tip: Go out there and grab those friends with wild, untamed hearts. Seek the ones whose love knows no bounds, those who exude a boundless generosity of spirit. Together, you’ll be each other’s cheerleaders, navigating the cosmic dance of life as one.

Cosmic Cleanup

Don’t be afraid to cleanse your cosmic circle of toxic vibes. By releasing what no longer serves you, you make space for the cosmos to work its magic. Brace yourself, for it might just enchant you with dazzling, new souls who light up your universe in ways you’ve never imagined.

Tarot Card Two – The Ace of Swords

Your mind is rapier sharp. It’s time to cut through the murky shadows and show the world your steely side.

The Ace of Swords is the sword of truth and brings out the truth monster in us. Have you been tiptoeing around a subject? Is there something that needs to be said? You have the inner strength to be true to yourself and say it as it is. 

You may drop a few revelations into an ungrateful lap, but don’t forget the compassion. Swords can wound, so do it with kindness. 

You have the smarts and the willpower to reach that goal now and are not likely to let anyone or anything deter you. The Ace of Swords urges you to seize the moment – that the time to take action is now. A brilliant idea blossoms, and barriers cut away.

Traditionally, this card also symbolizes money and power coupled with the ability to create abundance. Put that idea into action today

Tarot Card Three – 9 of Cups

Make a Wish, Any Wish

Get ready to make those dreams, wishes, and desires official. Whether it’s a lifelong ambition or just a little something you’ve been hoping for, this card tells you that it’s all within reach. But here’s the kicker: You’ve got to own it. You’ve got to believe that you deserve every single ounce of it. Because guess what? You absolutely do.

Cosmic Affirmation

Now, let’s talk about that warm, fuzzy feeling you get from the cosmos. When the Nine of Cups shows up, it’s like the Universe is sending you a big ol’ love letter, signed, sealed, and delivered. It’s a reminder that good things are headed your way. Cosmic high-fives all around!

Expect the Unexpected

 Life is full of surprises. Sometimes, when you least expect it, the universe tosses you a curveball that turns into a jackpot. It’s like winning the cosmic lottery. So, how sure are you that your dreams can come true? And more importantly, what’s burning in your soul, and why do you want it so bad?

Manifest Your Reality

Now, let’s get down to business. What are you doing to make those dreams a reality? The Nine of Cups isn’t just a wish-granting genie; it’s a motivational coach, too. It’s telling you to seize the moment, take action, and let the universe know you mean business.

The Nine of Cups is your permission to chase after what sets your soul on fire. It’s your enchanting green light to dream big, wish hard, and go out there and claim what’s rightfully yours. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to make your cosmic mark.

Hooray! You can now order my Tarot deck and in-depth Tarot book. I put my heart into every page. Big love, Michele.

Weekly Horoscopes September 4th 2023 – It’s good!

ARIES

Be ready for repurposed opportunity

Take love slow

You’ve had the bust – now embrace the boom!

Venus heads direct in your house of romance and attraction this week (4th). But the same day sees Jupiter big up the retro weather as it reverses in Venus’s ruling 2nd in your chart. Mercury remains retrograde in its ruing 6th and with Jupiter’s backwards motion we still have six planets retrograde including all the outer ones.

Yes, barriers between you, love and what you love begin to lift. But keep in mind Venus has a retroshadow to clear. So, small steps rather than whole-hearted leaps, Aries. You may need to dial down that signature boldness and sexy, sassy style for a bit longer. Jupiter in your 2nd will be dedicating itself to bringing you big money benefits between now and mid-2024.

There is no missing out now. Jupiter delivers the boom, the bull market, the business, the boost to your bank account and your net and self-worth growth. Retro weather this week – trines between retro Mercury in your 6th and Jupiter (4th), the Sun and Mercury conjunct (6th) and Sun trine Jupiter (8th), could offer a redelivery point. You make up losses with the gains exceeding these. Something you thought you had missed out on returns – repurposed. You land that better paying gig. The business or side hustle takes off. Or you get handed the resources you needed. Whatever form the wins and gains come in, this is Jupiter. There’s more to come. Take the win this week and invest it in any way you can. You’ll gain the interest in ‘24.

In a nutshell: Venus heads direct in your love zone but Jupiter reverses. Use caution in new ventures especially those of the heart. But if you thought opportunity had passed you by or that what you needed was out of reach – Jupiter has other plans for you, Aries.

ALL OUTER PLANETS RETROGRADE

TAURUS

Go back to love

Turn that sparkle back on

Revive, reconnect, rejoice!

You along with fellow Venus-ruled sign Libra will immediately feel the shift in energy as your ruler heads direct in your 4th on the same day. Stagnation turns to sparkle. Especially when it comes to home and property matters. However – Jupiter in your 1st retrogrades the same day as Venus goes direct. So, this leaves us still navigating one of the most intense retro cycles we have seen for some time. We still have six planets backwards (Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto).

Mercury is retro in your love and pleasure zone and Venus needs time to gain traction. This tells you that you need to get to know that prospective boo better before taking things further. Also, Mercury is retro in your house of holidays. And with Jupiter backwards too, both long and short journeys will be affected. This includes your commute if you do one. And also keeps the embargo on buying anything from a car to a horse in place.

Yes, this makes it sound as if you are still going nowhere fast, Taurus. But that’s simply not the case. Divine backtracking and redeliveries feature as could returns and reruns. Travelling back to somewhere you visited in the past is favoured. As are reconciliations and reunions. Revivals of love, hobbies, creativity and what sparks joy and pleasure. Keep those ‘re’ words in mind. You are in a cycle that promises massive gains and benefits. For the time Jupiter is retrograde look to what may have shown so much promise in the past, but perhaps you abandoned or simply lacked the courage to follow through with. Jupiter says its potential is still there for you. All you have to to is reconnect and re-explore it. But you have to make the decision to go look. Or simply ask again if the first answer was no. There’s a better outcome on offer this time around.

In a nutshell: Ruler Venus ends its retrograde. But Jupiter in your 1st reverses the same day. Stick with the cycle of refinement you’re in, Taurus. There are huge gains and big benefits on offer. Something still holds potential for you. If you care to re-explore it.

ALL OUTER PLANETS RETROGRADE

GEMINI

Become a miracle worker

Inspired possibilities are waiting to be explored

Discover the truth around those needs

Jupiter in your 12th actives the full magic, beauty and forever benefits of this house. It clears our path of invisible barriers between us and our dreams. Which very often we had no idea existed. It bigs up our creativity, our inspiration and our psychic abilities. And it also delivers us rewards we have racked up in our past. Not just in this lifetime either.

As your ruler Mercury is retrograde, you know focussing on the future right now isn’t productive in any case. So keep in mind the treasure is to be found behind you this week as Jupiter retrogrades on the same day as Venus heads direct again (4th). We still are in a period of cyclonic retro-activity as despite Venus direct, there are still six planets backwards.

You so got this cycle, Gemini as Jupiter is in your house of the past. And as well you know, retro planets are all about gathering what we can from our pasts that is still relevant, re-framing or repurposing it, and then releasing what we no longer need. Jupiter in your 12th favours miracle working. And also this week, with the Sun and retro ruler in your 4th, realigning yourself with what you truly need. The 4th – 8th gifts you with the minor miracles of seeing that you really need. And divesting yourself of what you don’t. By the time all this retro weather has blown over, you’ll find yourself in a very different place.

In a nutshell: The magic of your 12th house is mysterious and subtle. But oh so powerful and lasting. Gather up the pieces of your past which light your way forward and repurpose them for your future. The retro weather tells you: Upcycling those gifts gets you better results this time around.

CANCER

How far to that goal?

Take that quest one step at a time

News marks a return

Venus shifts to direct motion in its ruling 2nd in your chart this week. But as Jupiter turns backwards on the same day (4th), its time to pause to look at goal progress so far. How is that path towards wish fulfilment, Cancer? Remember my telling you when Jupiter entered your 11th back in May, to make three wishes? And to expect at least one of these to come true? Jupiter in resting jolly face motion now asks you to look at what you’ve attained, how far you’ve come, and also what you’ve done on your own behalf to make those goals happen.

This week could be fairly pivotal for illustrating all of the above. Do continue to keep an eye on spending and also to move forward in your love quest slowly if you are on one. Venus will take a while to clear its retroshadow. Plus you have Mercury retrograde in a ruling sign and house in your chart. Both Mercury and Jupiter rule travel, so extra planning and time may be called for if you are going anywhere.

Your best window this week for goal-centered ventures, friendship and for refining that project, plan, pitch or message has to be the 4th – 8th. This sees both Mercury and the Sun trine Jupiter and also a Sun/Mercury conjunction. Don’t be surprised if you hear from someone from your past, something reverses but in your favour, or welcome news brings the return of something you hoped for. By the end of the month you’ll be making real progress. But this week sees you restart those engines.

In a nutshell: Venus direct again slowly lifts the lid on love and money matters. But Jupiter now retrograde in your 11th asks you to stop and ask yourself if you are doing everything in your power to achieve that goal? Chances are, you still have resources to explore, Cancer.

LEO

You have a relationship with money – but it is not who you are

Refine and redefine that image

Candid sharing shows you your true worth

Finally – Venus ends its retrograde in your 1st this week. You should now be moving forward – more refined, more fierce, more confident and centered in what makes you special, Leo. Venus retro in our 1st hands us an opportunity for an image makeover. Not just the outer ‘us’ but most importantly, how we see ourselves. Which at the end of the day is what defines everything else in our lives.

Venus will take some time to clear its retroshadow which does allow you room to fine tune your results if needed. We do remain in major retro weather due to Jupiter heading backwards in your 10th the same day Venus goes direct. Which keeps the number of retro planets topped out at six. Show your career path, your public and professional reputation and those ambitions the same kind of love you’ve lavished on your personal look and inner self during the Venus retro, now Jupiter is backwards in here. And prepare to storm up that rewards ladder once it heads direct again.

Do also continue to talk openly about your feelings and also, your finances, while Mercury remains retro in your 2nd and it ruling sign of Virgo. This retrograde favours truth telling especially around areas we would normally have difficulty with. Money and self-worth are often tangled up for us psychologically. Admitting we may not earn as much as someone else, or are struggling with debt, or can’t afford something can have us feeling we’re somehow not worthy, are less than, or are failing on some level. Money talks even when we don’t join in the conversation. The meeting between ruler the Sun and retro Mercury (6th), plus the trines between Mercury (4th), the Sun (8th) and Jupiter, offer you a chance to change the conversation but honestly talking about money on some level. This is a great time to ask where that promised raise has got to or to refinance. Or just to know that a number on a bank statement doesn’t represent your true worth, Leo.

In a nutshell: Launch Leo 2.0. That more defined, fierce and refined version of you that you have been working on during the Venus retrograde in your sign which ends this week. When it comes to your feelings around love or money – telling the truth shows you just how much you are valued.

8 Sep 2023 Sun in Virgo trine retrograde Jupiter in Taurus (2nd to 10th)

VIRGO

Returns, reruns, reunions

Nothing pays off like persistence

Give it your best shot!

Ruler Mercury continues its backwards moonwalk in your 1st. And encounters the Sun on the 6th. Both Mercury and the Sun trine Jupiter its ruling 9th – also retro this week from the 4th. Do keep in mind that you can hit big problems with overseas travel at this time. You know the rules, Virgo. But do abide by them.

Continue to take anything to do with love or money matters slowly. You are still strongly advised to put swiping or searching for that mate on hold until Venus reaches your 1st and your ruler has cleared its retroshadow. Please don’t worry. You will more than make up for lost time from the end of the month onwards.

Returns, re-runs or an offer being re-made are part of the Jupiter retro promise this week. Especially on the 4th when retro Mercury aligns to it. The 6th sees the Sun and Mercury meet. While the Sun trines Jupiter on the 8th. Even if you fall face-first into something brown across these dates, you’ll stand up coated in chocolate and covered with extra sprinkles. If you have been waiting for something to come to a conclusion, for news or simply to give something another shot – these are your delivery dates. Or to make that incredible, second chance and better impression than your first. Second time around or better late than never rules. Turns out your first attempt wasn’t your best shot after all, Virgo. That’s the magic of retrograde reattempts.

In a nutshell: You’ll never know unless you try, Virgo. And while your ruler retrograde in your sign really doesn’t favour anything new – it does love reattempts. A launch window opens in the eye of the retro hurricane this week. Go on – give it your best shot, Virgo!

ALL OUTER PLANETS RETROGRADE

8 Sep 2023 Sun in Virgo trine retrograde Jupiter in Taurus (1st to 9th)

LIBRA

No more hard work friendships

Make that power play

Rock those changes!

Ruler Venus is direct again in your 11th. And the lessons you are taking forward with you from this cycle are that you don’t have to try nearly as hard at you thought you did. At anything really, Libra. Bending yourself out of shape to people please? Be this for a lover or that group? You are so done with that $*&!.

What you are taking with you is a new determination when it comes to those goals. And just being yourself. This is your house of the collective and how it sees you. The way you come across may have also undergone some changes. Your style of dress for instance. Many of you may be sharing this new look across social media. Again, you’re not really bothered about the likes – although you’ll get them anyway. It’s just another way to express your authenticity.

You become an even more brilliant version of you despite Jupiter joining the retro party from your 8th. Despite Venus direct this still leaves us with six planets backwards. One being Mercury in your 12th along with the Sun. Both make angles back to Jupiter across the 4th – 8th. This window could bring about a big win, validation or even – dare I whisper it? Pure, powerful lust. Or at the very least, mixing with the movers and shakers. The more elevated the company, the more you feel you belong and can be yourself. Chances are Venus retro has handed you the ability to not only find your niche, but to bloom within it, Libra.

In a nutshell: The end of Venus retrograde sees you ready to show the world a whole new side of you, Libra. Rock out those changes. But when it comes to trying too hard to win friendship or approval – take it you’re just so done with that phase.

6 Sep 2023 Sun conjunct retrograde Mercury in Virgo (12th)

8 Sep 2023 Sun in Virgo trine retrograde Jupiter in Taurus (12th to 8th)

SCORPIO

Own that need to be needed

Love offers something sustaining

No more quick fixes – just lasting effects

You need to be adored. Or acknowledged. The wallflower look isn’t for you. Neither is playing the hermit with pizza and a boxset. At the very least you need a Ride or Die. Or that circle of loyal and devoted friends. The ideal? That extra special someone who knows just how lucky they are to have you in their life. This can even be your boss. What matters to you this week is feeling special and needed by at least one person, as Venus moves direct in your 10th once more. And Jupiter shifts backwards in your 7th.

Venus direct doesn’t mean the retro weather is breaking up however. Jupiter shifts backwards in your 7th keeping the number of retro planets at six. But the combination of two tries between retro Mercury and the Sun in your 11th and Jupiter, and a Sun/Mercury conjunction across the 4th – 8th, is what is fuelling that need to be seen and needed. By someone or even a circle of someones. It’s a real, important desire that Jupiter and now Venus, want you to acknowledge. This week offers you a chance to stand out – or even be shown how much you are loved. Oh, and this isn’t a ‘quick fix’ kind of thing where you expect someone to ‘complete’ you or heal any wounds. What’s on offer can give you those warm and fuzzies. But you’ll find going forward, there’s something so much more sustaining on offer – for both of you.

In a nutshell: The need to be seen, loved, acknowledged – this doesn’t come from wanting attention. We all need to feel we matter to someone. Who this is could be anyone from that boo to your boss this week. It’s not a quick rush love fix however. Something lasting fuels the feeling.

8 Sep 2023 Sun in Virgo trine retrograde Jupiter in Taurus (11th to 7th)

SAGITTARIUS

Get ready for a big break

Keep your focus

You kick-start it but Jupiter gets you over the finish line!

Venus finally direct in your 9th (4th), coincides with ruler Jupiter heading backwards in your 6th. Just as you figured a breakout move towards freedom was possible, it turns out to be slower than what you hoped. Jupiter keeps the retro planetary line-up at six. This is one of the most intense retro-cycles we’ve experienced in a very long time. Where it can seem we are constantly going over old ground. Or that ‘two steps forward, one step back’ feeling.

That will all begin to lift by the end of the month. Mercury retrograde in its ruling sign of Virgo and your 10th tells you career matters are still subject to change even as barriers start to come down around big loves. You are not a sign which waits around for opportunities to simply appear. You believe in making them happen. Jupiter now retrograde in your 6th is helping with the heavy lifting with work and well-being. But along with Mercury which rules this house, reminds you that to succeed, you still need to do your part. If you do and take a very focussed approach, you could see rewards from your efforts to date pay off thanks to trines between retro Merc, the Sun and Jupiter. And a superb conjunction with the Sun and Mercury. This is you bringing your best game.

One word of caution on this retro week: it calls for work/life balance. If you have been pushing yourself too much lately, you’ll see you have no other option but to stop now. But sometimes a reset is exactly the break we need.

In a nutshell: Jupiter retrograde in your 6th of work and wellbeing, asks that you fine tune that work/life balance. And maintain your focus to get you the results you are after. If you’ve been running on empty lately – time to take a break, Sag.

CAPRICORN

What was hard to read or hidden gets translated

Slow is the new fast when it comes to romance

Take advantage of a break in the retro weather!

Venus is direct again in your 8th but Jupiter heads backwards in your 5th (4th). Love and matters close to your heart may still be subject to change and fluctuation. Your children may be hard to read or unpredictable. What could be exposed which may surprise you, is someone’s hidden selfishness. It’s not the trait per se that comes as the shock. More like you coming late to the party and finally seeing them for what they are. And being shocked at how long it took you to catch on.

Mercury is retrograde in Jupiter’s ruling 9th in your chart. And with Jupiter retro in your house of holidays, this adds up to extra special precautions and planning if you are travelling. Obviously we cannot always plan our trips around when the planets are direct. Or we may have no option in when we travel as it may be for business. The window from the 4th – 8th may lighten the retro effect if you are going anywhere as we have trines between retro Mercury (4th) and Jupiter, the Sun and Jupiter (8th) and in between a superb Sun/Mercury conjunction.

It’s a brief green light amongst the ambers and reds of this intense retro weather front. Do use this and push forward with big plans or get where you are going. With the rules still in place, naturally. You’ll see nothing but green lights ahead by the end of the month.

In a nutshell: In the words of Phil Collins: You can’t hurry love. Do keep this in mind even as Venus heads direct this week. Jupiter retrogrades in your romance zone and love may take a detour. Meanwhile, in another area, a window of opportunity unexpectedly opens. Be ready.

AQUARIUS

You know the quality of the love you have

Focus on security and sharing experiences

Move back to that emotional safe space

Love limitations finally lift as Venus heads direct once more in its ruling 7th in your chart. Re-prioritize those relationships you care so deeply about. The retrograde will have shown you the lasting quality of these. Or the lack in some cases. Either way, you are ready to move forward. Seek out things you love to do together. Doesn’t have to be big. That movie you like to watch together. A walk. But it all adds to the loved-up feeling you carry forward with you.

As Venus heads direct, Jupiter turns backwards in your 4th of home and family. While Mercury remains retrograde in your house of change and shared resources. The Sun and Mercury link to Jupiter this week and also meet in your 8th. Think renovate, refinance, return.

The ‘re’ words honestly do apply across your living arrangements, moves, family matters, career, path and joint financial matters. Not just the account you may share with a partner. But any financial dealing where another party is involved. Be it the boss who pays your salary or your bank who loans you the money. Shoring yourself up and anything which adds to your sense of security is what you need to focus on. Or simply moving back emotionally to that space where you feel supported and secure. Which we also create with the ones we love.

In a nutshell: Venus heads direct in its ruling 7th this week. Putting love and partnership matters back on the map for you. It’s all about that feeling of emotional safety that being with the right person brings you. Continue to seek out and build on that, Aquarius.

PISCES

Restore inner balance and harmony

Protect your trusting, compassionate heart

Showcase ideas set to dazzle!

Venus heads direct once again in your 6th of work and wellness. Hopefully you have used this time to create a better work/life balance. Once which gives well-being and peace of mind equal priority with what you have to do.

However, when it comes to the task of searching for a new love, you are not quite out of the retro woods as Mercury remains retrograde in your 7th. And you now have Jupiter retrograde in Mercury’s ruling 3rd. If you are seeking or swiping, keep Fleetwood Mac’s Sweet Little Lies playing in the background for a while longer. And please don’t fall for them. People may play on your sweet, compassionate soul.

This is a week however to share that sweetness and talk about what really makes you tick in any conversation. There’s a brilliance to your ideas. Especially the ones you may have dismissed in the past. And if you truly are seeking closeness, honestly there’s no quicker way to achieve that then courageously letting someone know what your emotional truth is. You’ll be amazed at the healing power of conversations right across the 4th – 8th. This is when retro Mercury and the Sun in your 7th trine retro Jupiter. While the 6th brings the chance to dazzle with your ideas and showcase your brilliance. If you can weave in an element of fun into all this – the results will be even better. Don’t sit on those feelings. Or ideas. This is your week to share them and say it with love.

In a nutshell: Share your truth boldly and without the need to self-protect, Pisces. Especially if true connection is the take-out you seek. But when it comes to anyone new, do ensure that they come from the same place of honesty. The only way to be sure is to take your time.

Your Super Blue Moon in Pisces Moonscope August 30 2023

Your Super Blue Moon in Pisces Moonscope August 30 2023

Once in a Blue Moon – and not just any Blue Moon either as this one is a supermoon! So, a Super Blue Moon. We won’t see another Blue Moon until May 2026 which will appear in Sagittarius. So yes, this is a special and rare celestial event. It represents the second of two emotional highpoints for us in a given month. A high tide for us as the Moon is in Pisces – sign of the fish and the Moon is the ruler of the tides. 

A Blue Moon is the term given to the second of two full Moons in a calendar month. Which is highly unusual in itself. What is even more unusual is that both of August’s full Moons have been supermoons. So, a massive impact on our emotional bodies and us all having those peak experiences. Emotional intelligence, truth and strength is what we need to reach for under any full Moon. We need to be responsive but not reactive if we possibly can. And above all, own and experience our feelings no matter how intense these may be rather than deny, dull them or simply run away from them.

Did I mention all this takes emotional courage? We can become defensive – even against our own feelings. Let alone what we experience with others. So being aware of this, being willing to simply say ‘I am entitled to feel this way, but not overwhelmed by it’ means we are no longer at the mercy of our emotional tides. We are anchored and strong. Or a wave rider if you prefer to think of it that way.

This Super Blue Moon has beautiful names. The Wine or Song Moon. It appears at 7o 25’ of Pisces. And the day before it is full (30th) it conjuncts Saturn also in Pisces. Handing us that safe anchorage if we need it. Or that core strength to ride that emotional break! Do check your chart for anything between 7-8 degrees of any house/sign. This will tell you where your emotional truth, creativity and healing are to be found.

ARIES

The Super Blue Moon in your 12th turns on a truth-exposing, healing light for you. Intuition leads you towards inspiration and what you need to know now. Stay quiet, still and centered, Aries. Let go of any desire to control anything except your own responses. The more unfazed you become, the  higher you’ll rise above things under this Moon. And when we go higher, that’s when our perspective broadens and we see the bigger picture. 

Enlightenment in a key area is what this Super Blue Moon promises. This is a Moon which shows you why you feel the way you do. And that there is a good reason for this. It’s a literal cure for ‘the blues’ if that is what you have as it exposes the roots of those feelings. And once we understand the reasons behind why we feel our feels, we then feel differently. And a little bit of soul magic occurs. 

Dreams, creativity, communing with spirit, our psychic skills, being close to water, meditation, journaling – all these are tools to work with the energy of the Super Blue Moon. There’s also a predictive element of this Blue Moon as it heightens our ability to look beyond the present. And we suddenly see the future is based on our emotional energy in the present. We can create new possibilities simply by shifting our emotional state. So, if your shown one possible outcome, try imagining how you can change this by choosing another emotional state. And do write this process down. By feeling differently you’ll quickly see how playing with the emotional frequency of quantum mechanics delivers you a whole new set of possibilities.

TAURUS

Gather your co-creators under the light of the Blue Moon, Taurus.  And understand when we stop interacting with others – life stands still. Who we know co-creates our lives as we perform the same function for them.

This is one of the most powerful Moons of the year for manifestation magic. It supercharges with electric blue energy your goal setting and visualisation abilities. What we want to achieve and how we do this is always linked to who we know and meet. Under this full Moon that circle or network is all important. 

Understand there are no coincidences when it comes to who you hear from, meet or connect with under this full Moon. They have a role to play in your future. You have one in theirs. This Moon is a doorway between what is now and what is to come. Just remember this door swings both ways. And if you and someone else no longer share the same vision, the door will shut.

This full Moon can bring about intense feelings of belonging, inclusion, support and acceptance. Or it can trigger deep wounds around being excluded, an outlier or loneliness. That’s the great thing about a goal – which your 11th house where this Blue Moon sits, rules. In order to get to goals we need other people. Goals are the cure for going it alone or feeling isolated. Find yours and then follow it. Because your people share a similar dream. And are waiting for you to make theirs happen just as they act as kick-starters for yours.

GEMINI

Dive into big, blue mutable energy. Do check your chart for Gemini factors at 7-8 degrees. This is about the emotional element of success. Yes, it can also bring you the recognition and rewards part as well. But what this Moon tells us is that we know when we’ve accomplished what we set out to do. It doesn’t have to be billionaire dot com world changing. Success is setting a benchmark for ourselves – and then reaching it. That’s what boss looks like.

Channel your ultimate badass now. There may be a shift you have to deal with due to this being a mutable Moon. Something unexpected, last minute, one more hurdle to jump over that you didn’t expect. Others may run round and lose their cool. Stay unfazed. You so got this and you’ll impress by your ability to roll with it.

This Moon is in your house of public image. How others regard us. Our reputation is based on our ability to deliver, to create trust, to turn up when needed. Your ability to generate ideas, to see things from every possible angle, to search, to communicate, to be flexible when required but stand by what you say when you know that’s right – that is what determines your outcome under this Moon. Opportunity may present itself or even for some, the chance to show they are the Right Stuff and join the elite, upper echelons of movers and shakers. No more room for self-doubt. Walk your success talk, Gemini. 

CANCER

That inner call or pull towards something bigger, soul-starting, uplifting. This Moon illuminates the pathway towards unfulfilled dreams. And how to reach them.

Big picture thinking features. The missing element. Into the blue you go to look for it. You crave expansion and something which will stretch your soul. This is traveller’s or explorer’s moon. It represents a key stage on a larger journey of learning and the soul. Perhaps this is a literal one for some of you as this Moon in linked to overseas and long distance travel. It tells you there’s so much more to discover. And sends you ‘out there’ to look for it. 

What can you do or reach for right now that is bigger? That represents a shift out of that comfort zone and away from the familiar? Did you know that this Blue Moon is linked to taking a chance? Nothing risky or too adrenalin filled, Cancer. But rather just being willing to find out what would happen if you dare to do? 

Sports, activity, the law, higher education, religion, the outdoors, animals, transport or the mass media are areas which call and also where opportunity can be found. This Blue moon could also offer an ‘out of the blue’ solution or break for some. You didn’t see it coming. In the best possible way.

There’s a door knock element to this supermoon. In that even if you are staying home and going nowhere right now, something or someone turns up and reminds you there’s a whole wide world of experiences out there. If so, this is your invitation to explore. Go there.

LEO

Radiant Leo, as the sign hard-wired to do the right royal regal thing, you shouldn’t find doing that under this Blue moon a stretch. This supermoon stirs up those superpowers of caring, protection and intuition. You’ll see right through anyone’s defences or ‘front’ as if you’ve been handed Superman’s x-ray vision. Nobody’s fooling you. And if what you find behind the facade is pain and vulnerability – you’re all in when it comes to offering your boundless understanding and support.

This is all linked to How You Glow. And the pure, alchemical energy of your 8th house where this full Moon appears, is a very different kind of radiance to that of your 5th. What’s shining forth now is that sexy self-assurance and magnetic empowerment that others find hard to resist. And yes, your generosity extends to indulgences in the bedroom and sharing yourself and what you have with those you care about. You also drop any pretences of your own. Baring your soul, your wants, desires and needs with someone close. That only makes them love you more. Try a little vulnerability combined with those superpowers. The results are supercharged!

VIRGO

The best of your love is true blue and on show under the supermoon in your 7th. That includes that missing person if your life currently has a vacancy for someone special. And this just in: It doesn’t have to be that mate. It can be that Ride or Die, that business partner or that fellow dreamer. To quote the lyrics from the song ‘Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone. Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own’. This Moon is all about the dream. Either with a current partner or truly understanding the fusion of dream and reality you need.

When the full Moon is in our opposite sign, the light shines back at us. So, someone holds up the mirror of truth around relating or your current status. Or the Moon shows you that empty place in your life which needs filling. Please don’t whatever you do go looking for love in all the wrong places on this night of all nights. Instead focus on self-love and acceptance. If you don’t have a romantic partner, get together with a friend. Settleds could sail into the blue together. Admitting you need someone is actually healthy under this supermoon. No, you are not being needy. What you crave is love in the form of connection, Virgo. Settled or seeking, the more generously you gift yourself to the love process, no matter what form it takes, the more there is to make your world go around.  

LIBRA

You hate disharmony, Libra. Your energy is the ultimate balancing act. You strive for alignment, equality, harmony. And know how to create this. After all – it’s second nature to you. You’re bringing these talents to bear on your work/life balance under this blue supermoon. And weeding out any blues inducing dissatisfaction around these areas.

Job dragging you down? That routine a rut? Or are you simply drifting along each day, busy, busy, busy but feeling you actually don’t achieve anything much? All these are symptoms of disharmony and this supermoon shows you how to address them. This is your house of wellbeing and you need to tune in to the innate wisdom of your emotional body and its reactions. Trust its messages implicitly. It will show you where those imbalances lie. Perhaps in your reaction to what you eat, how lethargic you feel, how drained doing something or even hanging out with someone leaves you.

Your body is telling you what is good for you. And simply what isn’t. If you feel excited, energised and elevated, stick with that. Anything else – opt for the truth around everyday self-care and steer yourself in a new direction.

SCORPIO

Blue moon supersized passion doesn’t mean you are going to throw caution to the winds and fall head over heels for just anyone, Scorpio. Yes, this Moon is in your house of romance and attraction. Tempted you may be, but you’ll have this desire to take things slowly (just as well as Venus is retrograde). You want to know what makes someone tick. And to ensure that the inner person reflects the outer package before risking your heart.

Your 100 Psychic Senses are activated and attuned. You are telepathic and one step ahead when it comes to what others say or do as a result. Especially when it comes to children and those younger than you. Luck is the blue angel whispering on your shoulder. Encouraging you to take a chance. What’s stopping you, phoenix? Loving, creative and giving – this full Moon simply emphasises all that you have within you. It simply make it easier than usual to express this. Some of you could find yourselves in the spotlight or the nexus of attention under this fine wine Moon. If so, don’t shy away from this. Or from the compliments either. 

SAGITTARIUS

Sweet home blue Moon. Yes, the Moon is in its ruling 4th. Supersizing your sensitivity and awareness not just of others’ needs, but your own, Sag. Despite being the wanderer/seeker of the zodiac, you still need somewhere to hang your Indiana Jones fedora. This is a moon of soul commitments. And finding that place and space to make them.

You will be super-sensitized and extra specially vulnerable. Things that you would normally shrug off may hurt you to the quick. Do be honest if this occurs. Chances are if you look closely, this is a trigger for a deeper wound that the Moon is bringing to the surface. You are prepared to give you all to others when it comes to helping them move through their own pain. However, you have not undergone a total personality transplant. So, anyone who gets over-needy, insecure or simply seems to enjoy being stuck with their emotional baggage, can only expect so much before you run out of patience.

This is one of the best full Moons of the year for you to clean up your act for the future, to heal or make changes around home or lifestyle. What you can fix, fix. And what you can’t – stop worrying about it. John Lennon wrote the best song for this blue Moon: Let it be.

CAPRICORN

Emotional truth and curiosity, the desire to know what truly makes others ‘tick’ – you want to know it all under this blue supermoon in your 3rd, Cappy. You want the truth – unfiltered when it comes to what someone is feeling. Even if it might not be what you want to hear. You know you need to take it on board. Similarly, your desire to share is engaged. And yes, you are your own best advocate now. If you have sold yourself short in the past – be it for that job, what you contribute or even your glowing attributes as a prospective mate – there’s no holding back. 

You unedited is actually a gift. Not only do others know where they stand with you, but your willingness to offer the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about you, sees you both enter new territory when it comes to communication and understanding. You’ll cut to the chase when it comes to what you seek or need. And ask those questions with an open mind and even more open heart. However – snarky, backhanded comments, priggishness, bores and good old fashioned liars also get the truth treatment now. It’s revealed exactly what someone says or thinks. That’s what you need to know too. No more wasting that precious free time or your capacity to listen. Save that for those whose ears, minds are hearts are as open as yours.

AQUARIUS

It’s honestly a tie between you and next door sign of Capricorn for just who is the best listener under the super blue Moon. Yes, for Capricorn the Moon falls in their house of communication. A key element of which is the ability to listen. But you allow anyone to dish the tea without becoming unfazed. No matter how emotional the other party may become. Or how long it takes them to dish it. You are therefore someone’s most valuable resource under this blue moonlight.

You are also ready with practical advice if needed. Although you won’t force this on anyone. The key under this Moon is a certain amount of emotional distance. Yes, you feel empathy. But don’t allow yourself to be sucked in. Also, avoid feeling hurt if your advice is not taken on board. That’s what soul freedom looks like.

There’s a link between this supermoon and the card of the 4 of Pentacles in the Tarot. So your money, cash, income, possessions. How to make it and also how to hang on to it. That figure in the card is hanging on so tight they have stopped the flow. Also they are so focussed on not letting go, they are blind to the abundant possibilities which surround them. As shown by the buildings in the background. It’s about giving, receiving and releasing. Are you protecting what you have – including your emotions as well as anything material? If so, maybe your best investment is to find that person who will listen to you – without judgement.

PISCES

Sassy, forthright, determined – that’s super blue Moon you, Pisces. You want to be loved now or at the very least, know you are liked. You won’t be dealing in ambivalent connections. Your heart is on your sleeve. You won’t like it if others keep theirs hidden. 

You have a hot and sweet quality about you. That’s pretty irresistible. But do monitor yourself for impulsive decisions especially around love or even spending. Keep in mind Venus is retrograde right now and it rules both these things. The blue hue of the full Moon in your sign can cast something in an irresistible light. But this may only be temporary. In other words, you wake up later and wonder what on earth you have done. At least that item you checked out in your cart can be returned. 

In your need to be needed, don’t waste your, loving sweetness on those who truly don’t appreciate the gift they have. Red flags include the person who interrupts you or won’t allow you to finish, the one who gossips behind your back or the lover who claims to care but always wants things their own way. Blue flame love burns in your heart. Make certain theirs burns for you.

Weekly Horoscopes August 28th 2023 Full Moon in Pisces

ARIES

Look to your personal evolution

Explore your 100 Psychic Senses

A blue light creates reality from dreams

All the outer planets are retrograde. Meaning we need to go deep on a soul collective level right now. And look to our evolutionary tale as Uranus turns retroactive in Taurus and your money zone. Do keep in mind that Venus, which rules this house, is not direct until next week. So, do continue to keep an eye on your spending. And also ensure you have enough for unexpected expenses which can catch you unawares!

This week brings the second full Moon of August – so yes, this is a Blue Moon. It’s also a Supermoon. And the second super-sized full Moon this Moon. It appears in your 12th – where your 100 Psychic Senses reside. Enhancing your intuitive and creative gifts. But also offering healing insights into why you opt for the choices you make. And the emotions behind these. It’s the blue line between the dots that joins them in a way you may not have seen before.

There’s more in your Full Super Blue Moon in Pisces Moonscope. Uranus rules our future. And retro combined with this Blue Moon, tells us that if we imagine a different one for ourselves, and if we can capture the emotional experience of what that would be like, we can create it for ourselves. Give your imagination free rein and dive in, Aries. What you have not previously dared to imagine yourself becoming – become that now.

In a nutshell: What separates the world of dreams, fantasy and imagination from reality is simply our ability to emotionally connect to how living it would feel. This week’s rare Super Blue Full Moon shows you just how this can be done, Aries.

31 Aug 2023 Full Blue Supermoon in Pisces (12th)

TAURUS

Consolidate that vision

Make a wish

There are no No Go areas now

Ruler Venus remains retroactive until next week, Taurus. And then do keep in mind that just like when Mercury heads direct again, it does need to clear its retroshadow before we can be certain we are free of those reversals. This week also sees Uranus stall and then move backwards in your 1st. At which point all the outer planets are retrograde. This peaks the retro weather front with six planets retrograde. If ever there was a phase which says: Hold Your Position in ‘23 – this is it.

Avoid anything new now. Especially if it involves love or your money. Hold fast to those values which Uranus wants you to refine. And if this all sounds frustrating and slightly grim – don’t see it that way. It’s about consolidation and ultimate satisfaction. Not just now. But for your future. Do get clear on what you want this future to deliver, Taurus. What it looks like. This week’s Super Blue Full Moon appears in your 11th house – which Uranus rules.

It tells you to let go of No Go Areas in your life. Of telling yourself something isn’t for you. Or pre-judging people, situations, opportunities and labelling them. The latter are No Go Areas that are self-created. And represent our biggest barriers to happiness and getting what we want. This Blue Moon serves clarity around issues such as these. And also enticing new connections, friendships and social groups which are linked to future potential. Saying: That’s not my scene keeps you stuck. Don’t forget, Jupiter in your sign has your back. But also it invites. It never compels. Pro tip: Make a wish under this Blue Moon. Jupiter is listening.

In a nutshell: A powerful Blue supermooon in your house of the future asks you remove barriers between yourself and where you want to get to. Telling yourself something is not for you being one of them. Access All Areas by embracing all that’s on offer, Taurus.

GEMINI

It’s all Need to Know and yes, you need to!

What’s on solid ground is built to last

The blue spotlight singles you out for attention

The retro weather storm increases in intensity this week as Uranus shifts into reverse in your 12th. This sees all the outer planets backwards along with ruler Mercury in your 4th and Venus in your 3rd. Venus will head direct as of next week. But being the Retro Boss, you know to stick to the rules, Gemini. With Uranus retro, everything is now on a Need to Know basis. Uranus rules revelations. Especially the kind linked to what is holding us back or keeping us from living our authentic truth. We’re electrified, shocked and illuminated by it all at the same time. There’s a clear link here with the card of The Tower in the Tarot. A bolt of lightning collapses it and shakes the figures from what they thought was solid. But this is a good thing. Uranus says you DO need to know.

This week’s Super Blue Full Moon – the second full Moon and the second full Supermoon of the month, appears in your house of foundation, career and structure on the 31st. If what you have build is rock solid – then it can’t fall down. In fact, you can take it higher now. Rewards and recognition could be on offer. And this is your house of public image. Many of you could receive a welcome professional or personal boost.

Anything on shaky ground? That could be rattled. Certainly the truth around your choices, the path you have chosen, the satisfaction you get from this, or even the trust you place in others, is what is picked out in this bold blue light. Now you’ve been it – you can’t un-see it, Gemini. You may also be cast in the best possible light as this Moon enhances that rep and that desirability as a candidate. Be this for a position in someone’s organisation – or someone’s heart. Do werk your truth for all you’re worth, Gemini. Others need to know about all you have to offer. More in your Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces Moonscope.

In a nutshell: It’s a week to banish self-doubts, Gemini. And also one where you don’t sell yourself short. Either professionally. Or personally for that matter. The Blue Supermoon highlights all you have to offer. Step up to boss level!

31 Aug 2023 Full Blue Supermoon in Pisces (10th)

CANCER

Old goals contain old gold

Step towards a fresh destination

Capture that North Star

Uranus turns retroactive in its ruling house (11th) from the 29th. This now sees all the outer planets retrograde from Saturn outwards. Next week, Venus will head direct in your 2nd – which it rules. But Jupiter will join Uranus. Plus you also have Mercury retrograde in its ruling 3rd.

The need to steer clear of new endeavours cannot be over-sold. These include love affairs, signing contracts, entering into fresh financial agreements, seeking a new job, buying large, expensive items or booking that trip. Once Jupiter joins the retro-action from Sept 4, you do have a green light to go mining lost opportunities. Or revive those old goals and dreams.

This week brings one of the most powerful full Moons of the year. It appears in your 9th house which Jupiter rules. Both by house and by sign as it is the ancient ruler of Pisces. This is the second full Moon of August. And also the second supermoon. So, it is a Super Blue Moon.

This is your house of long distance travel, foreign affairs of all kinds, mass media, big business, religion and philosophy, academia, the law and the outdoors. Something higher, bigger, eye-opening and breathtaking is making itself known, Cancer. You will be aware of something pulling you towards it. A destination, knowledge, a big dream. If you are travelling – whether short distances or far, far away, do keep the retro rules firmly in mind. But this Blue Moon could deliver an opportunity, a solution or an experience that is heaven-sent. And broadens your horizons as it does. This is your North Star moment. Head towards it. More on your direction in your Super Blue Moon in Pisces Moonscope.

In a nutshell: Hold off from the new for just a while longer, Cancer. It’s with the old the magic can still be found. This week’s Blue Supermoon reopens a lost path. Or a fresh direction towards reclaiming that old dream.

31 Aug 2023 Full Blue Supermoon in Pisces (9th)

LEO

Reawaken self-belief

Widen that focus

Claim your power!

Venus remains retrograde in your 1st until next week. Mercury is retro in your 2nd. Uranus retro in your 10th from the 29th sees all the outer planets from Saturn onwards, in full reverse. And Jupiter also in your 10th joins them next week.

Look at where progress is blocked now. Or where you are holding too tightly on to one definition of success. Some of the energy around this can be linked to the card of the Four of Pentacles in the Tarot. The figure clutches the coins so tightly they keep them safe. But at the same time, nothing is moving and they are so focussed on doing this they have blinded themselves to better alternatives depicted in the castle behind them. You can achieve so much from this retro weather if you tune into these themes and see where they may be operating in your life.

You’ll find shifting your perspective easier than you think under the Super Blue Full Moon in your 8th (31st). A blue moon occurs when there are two full Moons in a given month. It just so happens both full Moons have been supermoons. Supersizing their emotional pull on our souls. This one wants to remind you of your power, Leo. And this is always linked to what we want to achieve. When we attain a goal, we feel empowered. And this also in turn raises the bar on our self-worth. We then have a ‘Next!’ mindset because we know we got this. We have the tools, the talent and the track record to prove it. This Blue Moon along with the retro-weather, combine to show you that whatever you need or have to do, whatever you need to negotiate or change, you have the power to make it happen. The ‘Blues’ come from feeling we can’t change things. Now you know – you can. Plug into empowerment in your Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces Moonscope.

In a nutshell: You’re still wading through heavy retro weather. Especially when it comes to love, Leo. But this week’s Blue Supermoon reawakens you to your own immense potential. You’re a powerhouse of purpose. Use this to fuel those changes.

31 Aug 2023 Full Blue Supermoon in Pisces (8th)

VIRGO

Remove barriers to connection

Who’s your opposite number?

Love is ready to be awakened

What’s really blocking that forward motion is revealed to you once Uranus turns retrograde in your 9th. It joins ruler Mercury backwards in your sign, Venus in your 12th, and then all the outer planets from Saturn onwards. Venus will head direct again next week. But Jupiter will then join the retro party and reverse in its ruling 9th. This is the most intense retrograde weather front we have experienced for some time. And certainly the biggest for ‘23. It does have a purpose however and for you, it is to show you exactly what holds you back. This may come as a revelation as it may not be what you think. But once you see it, you can remove it.

This week also hands us a Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces and your 7th house. What’s between you and the love you seek, Virgo? A Blue Moon is the second of two full Moons in a given month. And both full Moons have been supermoons. Which is a very rare event. Look to who is standing in that bold, blue light for you. This could be your spouse, long term lover, work associate, Ride or Die, or even that rival or frenemy. Maybe what this Blue Moon exposes fits the lyrics of the classic song ‘You saw me standing alone’. If you are alone in terms of having that partner, this Moon can shine on new potential waiting to awaken next month. Don’t hurry. Remember – this is Venus’s ruling house. And Venus is backwards. However, a love from your past or a love revival? Feel the closeness again. Watch what comes through for you in September. It’s linked to who or what, this blue light shines on. More in your Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces Moonscope.

In a nutshell: The Blue Supermoon in your house of partnerships shines on one particular duo, duet or double act. Or that vacancy waiting to be filled. What’s between you and getting what you want? You can spot that too.

LIBRA

Reset those priorities

Carve out sacred ‘Me’ time

Your work/life balance shifts

Choices and changes appear this week. Triggered by both Uranus adding to the retro weather in your 8th. And a Super Blue Full Moon in your 6th. Ruler Venus remains retroactive in your 11th up until next week. And do keep in mind it will take time to clear that shady retro-patch. Mercury is retro in your 12th. And as Uranus moves backwards, this means all the outer planets from Saturn are backwards. Sept 4 and Jupiter reverses. But this can bring you the opportunity to grasp opportunities or reset your priorities. Lost your mojo lately? You can reclaim that too.

Moonwalking out of the financial blues is possible. As it simply stepping off that treadmill if that’s what life has started to feel like recently. You may have been feeling like a hamster on a wheel. Running, running, turning, turning, always in action but getting nowhere. This Blue Moon – the name given to the second of two full Moons in a month, is a rare event. Both the August full moons have been supermoons which is rarer still. This is a big pause button for you where you stop spinning. Or simply elect to no longer do things at the speed others dictate. By consciously doing this and setting limits, choices are revealed which you were previously blind to. Such as you can choose to do things differently. Not at all. Or elect a radically different choice. Across your work, your sexiness and your money. Big benefits are waiting. Stop spinning and start living again, Libra. More in your Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces Moonscope.

In a nutshell: The important of those priorities cannot be over-sold, Libra. It could be you need to put in some boundaries. See your time as a sacred thing. A precious resource. Don’t be afraid to use this week’s Blue Supermoon to show others – some things just aren’t negoitable.

31 Aug 2023 Full Blue Supermoon in Pisces (6th)

SCORPIO

Know what love expects from you

Explore magic, fantasy and imagination

Follow your heart

Both your love houses are impacted by this week’s major astral events. First we have Uranus slamming on the brakes in your 7th. This means that not only is the ruler of this sign/house -Venus, retrograde in your 10th, but also that all the outer planets from Saturn onwards are now retroactive. Including ruler Pluto back in your 3rd. Retro Saturn is also in your 5th along with retro Neptune.

Next week, Venus will head direct once more, but Jupiter in your 7th joins the retro movement. Stops and starts in dynamic and dramatic duos, duets and double acts feature. However, along with this comes a need to know. The need to know where you stand or where things are going from this point onwards.

A Super Blue Full Moon shines out from your 5th (31st), the other major astro event this week. A Blue moon occurs when we have two full Moons in a month. And both full Moons have been super moons which is super rare! Yes, it shines on lovers but do keep in mind that Venus retro. If you are dating you still need to exercise caution. DO find out what that prospective boo is seeking. And listen carefully to their answer. Do not think you can change their mind if this is not what you want. Yes, we know you are irresistible, phoenix. But take them at their word.

This is your moon for a moondance with your existing partner. To explore the magic of fantasy (in or out of the bedroom), your creative imagination, to play and to take an open hearted approach. Yes, do ask the questions that get you the answers you seek. Babies, children, those younger than you may feature. This Moon asks you to follow your heart. Wherever it wants to take you. The journey is outlined in your Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces Moonscope.

In a nutshell: It’s a blue moon. It’s a supermoon. It’s a Super Blue Moon! It brings a fantastic magical quality with it. Enhancing love, lovers and all and who you love. Take a journey with someone into the realm of imagination. It’s a fabulous night for a moondance.

SAGITTARIUS

Say no – guilt free!

Reset your schedule

Enter your sacred space

Uranus continues its work and wellbeing revolution for you as it shifts to backwards motion in your 6th (29th). Ruler Jupiter is also in here and that too will turn back from next week onwards. During this cycle, you will experience a big shift in your work or daily priorities. Expect liberation, Sag!

Uranus’ shift brings the total number of planets retrograde now to six. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. Venus will head direct in your 9th as of next week. But then Jupiter takes its place at the backwards facing table. This is one of the most intense retro cycles we have seen this year. But the retro weather serves a purpose. It slows us down so we can focus on the things we are usually too preoccupied or busy to see.

That shift in your priorities ripples across your entire work/life axis. What you need to place more value, emphasis or energy into. What needs to become sacred and not for sale. Or not intruded upon. The simple act of turning off your devices and insisting others do the same when eating together as a family for instance. Communicating to your boss in the most respective but firm way that you are now off the clock. Saying no to taking on more – and not feeling guilty about it.

The Super Blue Full Moon in the Moon’s ruling 4th heightens your sensitivity and insight. But now sees you applying these to you, what supports and sustains you. And yes, has you able to say no to those demands. Or simply unplug if needed. A Blue Moon is when we have two full Moons in a month. Both the August moons have been supermoons. Which is pretty rare. Prioritise what nurtures you, Sag. It’s the ultimate act of self-care and wellbeing.

In a nutshell: What does real self-care look like for you, Sag? It should be more than scented candles and bath bombs under the Full Blue Supermoon. It’s about sacred time. And sacred space. And not feeling guilty about saying no in order to keep them exactly that. Sacred.

CAPRICORN

Your choices – surprising

Your truth – revealing

Truth, freedom, beauty, love – the revolution intensifies!

Uranus is leading the love revolution in your 5th. Freedom, Truth, Beauty, Love. With of course added opulence and indulgence now Jupiter is also in here. This week sees Uranus retrograde in here. All the outer planets from ruler Saturn and now backwards. Mercury is retrograde in your 9th and Venus in your 8th. So, six planets in reverse and just Mars, Jupiter and Ceres direct.

Next week sees Venus direct again but Jupiter will reverse. So, we have six planets retrograde. Handing us the most intense retrograde weather of ‘23. You are about to make a new, surprising, radical or revolutionary choice in love, what you love, where you love or your creativity, Cappy. This may literally come ‘out of the blue’. Watch out!

The surprise news could arrive sooner than you think thanks to the Super Blue Full Moon in your 3rd (31st). Why so blue? That’s the shade of the second full Moon in a month! Also, both August full Moons have been supermoons. Which is super-rare in itself. The news is not about the blues, however. It could bring about a new direction, a journey, an opportunity, an invitation, a reunion or solution you’ve been seeking or hoping for. It is the bridge between your past and what your future holds. Someone says yes to you. You set a communication chain in motion which brings a sweet, surprising result. A meeting turns into so much more. A piece of information is hugely significant. No matter how it arrives or what it contains, the essence of it is love. Look closer and you’ll find the meaning hidden in there somewhere. Lost in translation? Check your Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces Moonscope.

In a nutshell: What you choose or say in the name of love may be the most surprising thing about this week, Capricorn. You can blame the Blue Supermoon in your house of Say It Anyway, for this. But that choice – radical but so freeing.

AQUARIUS

Any moves are the right moves now

Explore the abundance/acceptance dynamic

Be open to receive

Ruler Uranus retrogrades this week in your home sector. This brings the total backwards planets to six. Next week Venus in its ruling 7th in your chart will finally head direct again. However, Jupiter also in your 4th joins the retro movement. This is the most intense retro weather we’ve experienced this year. Everything is either on hold, unpredictable or not turning out the way we’d hoped. Do keep in mind with your ruler – if something doesn’t happen the way you’d like or when, that’s because something better is on offer. You just have to wait for it to be revealed.

Property matters may stall, fluctuate or simply collapse. That buyer doesn’t have the finance after all. Your renovation is delayed due to your contractor being unable to get supplies. Your airbnb guest cancels. Your landlord serves you notice. All Uranus backwards in your 4th scenarios. Do keep in mind if faced with any variations on this theme – Jupiter’s got you covered and rules spectacular, last minute, Hail Mary passes.

The Super Blue Full Moon in your 2nd (31st), connects you to your true feelings around worth, being worthy, abundance and acceptance. Abundance and acceptance are the two sides of the same coin. Just as love and money are. In order to receive abundance we need to know we are worthy of it. And this enables us to accept it. If the circuit is broken, the current doesn’t flow. That’s why is called ‘currency’. A blue moon only occurs where we have two full moons in a month. That’s rare. What’s rarer still is both full moons being supermoons. So, look to your ability to receive. The flow of abundance into your life is the one thing that doesn’t have to be on hold. More in your Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces Moonscope.

In a nutshell: Ruler Uranus retro in your home sector could upend moving or property plans. Just see this as a delay that turns out to your benefit, Aquarius. This week’s Super Blue Moon is all about your ability to receive. How all-embracing and open are you truly?

PISCES

True blue love shines out

A new direction springs from an old path

Your focus is right where it needs to be

Not just any full Moon in your 1st, Pisces. But a Blue Supermoon. A Blue moon is the second of two full Moons in a month. The chances of both full Moons being supermoons? Extremely rare. Ana opposite number – a past, present or potential partner, provides a revelation for you under it. This could be anyone from your spouse, a long term lover, a friend, a co-worker or even that rival or opponent. This is directly related to you and your needs. Or your future together. Or both.

Do keep in mind that you have heavy retro weather in your 1st. Ruler Neptune and also Saturn are backwards in here. Plus Venus which rules your love life is retro until next week in your 6th. While Mercury is retrograde in Venus’s ruling 7th. There is a sense of cooperation here even amongst the stickiness of potential reversals and delays. This combined with the Blue Moon could actually work in your favour. Bringing you a rare moment when you and another align and activate a shared potential together. More in your Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces Moonscope.

Uranus retrograde in your 3rd could open up a surprising way to achieve this. Go back over old messages, information, books, research. Even websites. Do keep in mind that this is your house of documents and contracts. I should not need to tell you that you should not be signing anything important with Mercury still retro. If you cannot avoid this – go back over it or get an expert to do this. It could be you missed something the first time around. Something that shouldn’t be ignored. Your attention is no longer diverted but where it needs to be now. On what is being said, what is left unsaid and all the subtext in between. As of next week – Jupiter translates.

In a nutshell: True blue love shines in its own right under this week’s Super Blue Full Moon in your sign. When it comes to projects or the information you need, a little backtracking or re-reading unearths a missing element. Intuition tells you what needs a second look.

ARIES

Work the truth

Take care of love business

Realness brings rewards

If it works – werk it this week, Aries. And if it doesn’t – let it go. There’s realness around you and this involves facing up to the facts. Especially around relationships and what you do.

Venus backwards in your love and creation zone pushes against Jupiter in Venus’s ruling 2nd in your chart. It’s asking if something is worth it. And honestly, as ruler Mars in your 6th opposes Neptune in your 12th the same day, there’s no escaping the truth.

We are now in heavy retrograde weather. Where you need to act based on how things are. Not how you would like them to be. Mercury slams on the brakes and reverses in its ruling sign/house of Virgo. The same day as the Sun lands in here. This is your cue to take care of business. Be that business around what you do or who you love. Certainly, your awareness of what enhances your life and what doesn’t increases. As will the need to do something about it once ruler Mars crosses into your 7th.

Passions run high now. As could your desire to get what you need. Do be aware that new love needs to be approached with caution. As does going for that new job. Rewards for what’s right however are ready to be claimed. But also be ready to let go of anything that isn’t. The universe says: Time’s up to that.

In a nutshell: Intense retro action delivers inescapable realness. This is a blessing, Aries. No more time wasting on anything which doesn’t work. Or doesn’t deliver the love or rewards you deserve. Who knew getting real could get so good?!

TAURUS

Just do it

Free yourself for the future

Get ready for the big love revival!

You have all the fuel you need this week to attend to any outstanding business, Taurus. This is a time to life garden. To pull up those weeds and tackle anything you’ve been putting off. No, procrastination is not your friend.

Do this before embarking on anything new. That’s the message of the big retro weather in your 4th and 5th houses. Yes, your love and pleasure zone, Taurus. Ruler Venus is backwards in your 4th of home, family, lifestyle and what offers you sustainability. It’s angle to Jupiter in your 1st on the 22nd could in fact redeliver a second time around opportunity. Or a solution to something that’s been holding you back. Yes, you do need to move on it otherwise it will vanish.

Do steer clear of simply ignoring what needs to be done in favour of simply going for something new. It’s unlikely to work out for you in the long term. The reason for caution in this area is that although the Sun enters its ruling 5th and your romance and sparkle zone on the 23rd – this is also the day Mercury retrogrades in here. And Mercury rules Virgo and your 5th. So, its capacity to create snafus, cancellations, reversals, breakdowns – you name it – increases. Combined with Venus retro – that’s double jeopardy. Don’t go there.

You can revive the love, pleasure, delight you once found in existing relationships, hobbies and passions however. Or yes, you can reconcile with a former flame. Mars in your 6th from the hands you resources to burn. It tells you Just Do It. Saturn always wants us to step up and do what needs to be done. And confines us until we do. That prevents us from moving into the future unencumbered. You know you don’t want that. So, take care of business this week, Taurus. By the time we get to the end of next month – you’ll be so grateful you did.

In a nutshell: Have a love revival during this retro weather, Taurus. Rekindle that passion. But when it comes to any outstanding business – what you know you need to tackle once and for all – don’t put this off. Time to grasp the bull by the horns – pun intended. And free yourself in the process.

GEMINI

Where does the fire still burn?

Attend to home matters

Something old is new again

Ruler Mercury slams on the brakes in your 4th and reverses from the 23rd. The same day as the Sun reaches this house in your chart. Pay attention to things close to home. And do try to put moves or property matters on hold. Or to expect delays and reversals.

Family members may place more demands on your time than usual. Or something you thought you had dealt with resurfaces. Don’t worry if so because this is probably the final time it does. Lucky for you this time around you have a fresh set of tools to utilise thanks to Mars also in your 4th aligning to Pluto back in your 8th.

All this takes place against the other major retrograde backdrop which is Venus retro in your 3rd. To take on board what it tells you on the 22nd when it angles to Jupiter in your 12th. This might not be wanted you wanted to see. But you need to see it for what it is.

Nothing new right now, Gemini. But something old could revive and become brand new again. Maybe all it needs is your special brand of love injected into it. Or a recommitment to it to revive it and hand it that heartbeat? The Sun’s face-off to Saturn in its ruling 10th shows you where a reinvestment could pay off. Or alternatively, where you need to acknowledge you’ve done all you can and move on. Be ready to embrace the follow through from the 27th. Passion takes you back to what never lost its heat for you. Fan that flame again, Gemini.

In a nutshell: Ruler Mercury reverses this week. Intensifying the retro weather. It’s a good time to attend to matters close to home. The truth has a way of resurfacing now. As does an old flame where the fire still burns.

CANCER

Take nothing on face value

Play the waiting game

Enter the revival

Mercury retrogrades in a ruling sign and its ruling house in your chart (3rd), Cancer. Along with Venus also retro in its ruling 2nd house, just avoid starting anything new if you can. Especially if it has links to either love or your money.

This is an exceptionally good period for revivals however. Revived friendships. Plans. Projects. Keep your focus on what can be resurrected for you and you should avoid most of the retro pitfalls. Mars is in your 3rd right up until the 27th. Its opposition to Neptune in your 9th (22nd) combined with the Sun’s opposition to Saturn also in your 9th (27th), shows you a path which can be retaken. Or a key insight you’ve been missing up until now. Revelations allow you to change your direction or realign with something you missed out on.

Do use extra caution if travelling however. Allow extra time to get where you are going whether this is a short or long trip. Before Mars crosses into your 4th it trines Pluto back in your 7th from your 3rd. Pluto is in its endgame. Adding its final transformation touches to partnerships. And also around your awareness of who you are and what you need from relationships. Putting the finishing touches to changes that are already in motion. And the fact you are actively engaged with and seeking positive change now may surprise you. And those around you. But do hold back on acting on this for now, Cancer. Especially when Mars arrives in your 4th (27th). Be willing to play the waiting game.

In a nutshell: Mercury retro in a ruling house/sign just ups the mayhem and possible disinformation. Do wait to act and ensure you have all the facts before you do. You’re hungry for positive change in love and close relationships. Take it they are in motion. But you need do nothing for now.

LEO

Continue to explore the wonderful world of YOU

Be ready for your relaunch

Wait for that green light

Now, Leo. Don’t let the retro blues dull that glow. This week sees the Sun exit your sign for your 2nd. And along with this Mercury which rules Virgo, turns up the retro heat joining Venus in backward motion the same day. Yes, you do need to keep two facts in the front of your mind. 1: Mercury is retrograde in a ruling sign and 2: It is retrograde in Venus’s ruling house in your chart.

So, think of this as the ultimate embargo on new love and excess spending. No, I am not trying to be an after-party pooper, Leo. I don’t make the rules. I am just here to remind you of them.

So, you may be asking – just what is this Access No Areas phase good for? For keeping your focus on the wonderful world of you. Continue with self-love and updating your image. But again, while you can indulge in updates, a relaunch or rebrand and re-fabulization, avoid if you can, splurging on new looks to accompany that. At least until the end of next month when you have a green light. Because if you buy now, chances are you won’t love it once Venus heads direct. Or its not the bargain you thought it was.

Mars’s arrival in your 3rd is all about saying what you need to say. But have been putting off. Mars likes the tea piping hot. It’s ready to dish it. And out comes exactly what’s on your mind. Whether you mean it to or not. But you do mean it, Leo. There’s no doubt about that. What you say however, does reflect the changes that are still in motion within you. Continue to refine that for the upcoming weeks. Share your truth. Via what you say or share. Or simply via your visual message. Don’t underestimate your own impact to convey what you mean – without words.

In a nutshell: Intense retro weather may seem like a barrier you can’t surmount, Leo. But all it wants you to do is keep the focus on refining you. Don’t worry. You’ll more than make up for lost time next month. For now – refine and ready for that relaunch!

VIRGO

Slow is the new fast

Love all you have in the now

Happy retroactive birthday, Virgo!

Happy birthday, Virgo. Along with your fresh cycle – it’s Retro Time! The same day as the Sun lights up your sign, ruler Mercury in your 1st turns backwards. You have probably felt the vibe in the lead-up to this since the start of the month. And being the retro pro, know that slow or even backwards motion, turns into the new fast further down the track.

Many happy returns could feature for you. As Venus – also making a rare retro in your 12th, aligns to Jupiter in its ruling 9th on the 22nd. The same day as Mars in your sign until the 22nd, opposes Neptune in your 7th. Something could literally return. Or you stop replaying that old tape. Watch for the 27th which could bring about a surprising turn of events or show you that you no longer need to keep repeating the past. That’s because you’ve now learned all you can from it. You’re now ready to move on once the retro barriers dissolve next month.

For now – time to love and be content with where you are and what and who surrounds you. Sure, if you can see the changes you need to make for your new cycle, acknowledge these. And also look at what is possible for you to fix. And what honestly isn’t. Vow to be very selective about who or what you invest your energy in for the future. Mars moves into your 2nd also on the 27th. Have you been neglecting to put in much-needed boundaries, Virgo? This is your house of money and you need to take the saying ‘The buck stops here’ quite literally now. This can be around your budget or even someone’s behaviour. Your take out from this? Feeling stronger and more empowered. Priceless, Virgo.

In a nutshell: The day the Sun arrives in your sign coincides with Mercury retrograde. Many happy returns feature as something could literally reappear or revive for you. Craft wonderful fresh starts for September in the present moment but loving just that, Virgo.

LIBRA

Invest your passion in something new

No more ‘What If’s’

Get your boom-boom on!

Welcome to the boom-boom now Mars arrives in your sign (27th). You are fuelled up and ready to rumble, Libra. You’re seeking ways to express all this pent up passion. But wait – ruler Venus remains retroactive in your 11th. While Mercury now does the same in your 12th. What this tells you is to take care of unfinished business. Or to deal with the past once and for all before you think about starting anything new.

Has something lost its passion? But you’ve kept investing anyway. If so, this is now time to let it go. Have you been delaying doing something? Mars now says you’ve not more excuses. Facing your fears and seeing there’s nothing to fear from them – in other words, fear itself is no substance and all bluster, is some powerful retro magic that’s available to you. If you care to wield it.

Do use this period to ensure there is no unfinished business between you and someone else. To get answers to questions if you have them. To do away with ‘What if’s . . ?’ You don’t need them. A solution to an outstanding issue could present itself on the 22nd when Venus squares Jupiter. But it calls on you to push aside hesitation. Or even concerns about what others might think of you. The Sun’s transit through your 12th combined with all this retro weather hands you answers if you are open to them. And shows you anything that holding you back from the boom-boom and living that passion.

In a nutshell: The run up to your fresh cycle next month is all about facing up to where you have invested your love and life force, getting answers to questions and doing away with wondering What If? Get closure. It’s what that retrograde is for, Libra.

SCORPIO

What revives proves its worth

Get ready for truth telling

If there’s still a heartbeat – you’ll know it

Old goals, old ambitions, old friends. There’s a revival happening around these due to the major retro weather. Venus in your 10th and now Mercury in your 11th from the 23rd. Ancient ruler Mars energises your 12rh of the past also from the 27th. All this tells you that the new springs from the old. Or that if we want to know what our future has in store for us, all we need to do is look back.

This week brings a rare trine involving both your rulers. The 25th sees Mars and Pluto align. Think of the Judgement card in the Tarot. What we thought over gets resurrected. An ending brings a new beginning. An old cycle gives way to a new. Expect a rebirth this week. Either through a connection or something you had stopped holding out hope for.

If there’s still a heartbeat or a reason, you’ll find it this week. But if it’s flatlined, you are being asked to accept that. Mars in your 12th serves only the unvarnished truth. No sugar coating. With all this retro activity, you are also asked to pay close attention to time and time keeping. Do allow for delays, cancellations and diversions if travelling. And perhaps set out earlier to ensure you arrive on time. Know someone who is chronically late? Maybe you’ve been willing to make excuses for them up until this point. But now you see it as plain disrespectful and inconsiderate. Time to say Time’s Up if so, Scorpio.

In a nutshell: The retro weather could redeliver something you thought over. Repurposed with fresh meaning. But resist trying to resurrect anything that’s flatlined, Scorpio. It either revives without you needing to do anything. Or it’s time to let it go.

SAGITTARIUS

Do what you can do – then let it go

Plan that journey

Ask those ‘difficult’ questions before going further

Change gears now the Sun’s arrival in your 10th of career and ambitions, coincides with Mercury retro in here on the same day (23rd). Celebrate how far you’ve come. Without the need to go further – for now. Venus is also retroactive in your 9th of long distance travel. This tells you that if you are heading anywhere – extra planning may be needed. Factor in anything from delays, to cancellations, to the weather. And if travelling for love – sadly that your boo may change their mind.

There’s a need to know what’s waiting for you before setting out to go anywhere. And that involves being willing to ask the difficult questions if need be. Even if you’re worried about the answers you may get back. Yes, you are better off not knowing. This applies to your professional journey as well. Changing gears and looking at where you are and where you want to get to next means being honest about what this direction offers. Does your employer dangle a promotion carrot-like but it never materialises? Have others been promoted over you? Or do you know deep down this isn’t for you? This is a time of facing where you are and what you want honestly. But biding your time to do something about it.

Instead, your social life offers you the release and satisfaction you seek from the 27th when Mars gatecrashes your 11th in party-starting mood. For this retro period, your friends, circles, groups, bands, clubs, associations and networks is the area which offers you the momentum and excitement you’re seeking. Change gear into social mode, Sag. It’s your best avenue for success.

In a nutshell: Intense retro weather asks you plan carefully before setting out, Sag. And also start asking those tricky questions of people. Or of yourself. If you’re not getting where you need to go, consider an alternative route. Or even a different destination.

CAPRICORN

Make big moves in small steps

Feel that sense of achievement

Nothing is set in stone

A big retro weather front blows in so pack your astro umbrella. Joining retro Venus this week is Mercury retrograde in its ruling sign of Virgo and your 9th. This occurs the day the Sun arrives in here (23rd). This is your house of travel, mass transportation, airlines, big business, the law and higher education. So, while the Sun’s arrival in here would usually favour all these things, this time you need to exercise all due caution.

Retro Venus in your 8th squares Jupiter (ruler of your 9th) in your 5th on the 22nd. There’s a feeling of stop/starts to the week. Reversals and cancellations. In your romance zone a tricky square can sometimes see you ghosted on a retrograde. Just as you thought things were going well. Keep in mind no outcome is set in stone on a retrograde. It can switch and reverse back. Travelling back to something or somewhere – returns, either actual or metaphorical, are what this retro period is all about.

The highlight of the week for you will be the Mars/Pluto trine where you manage to get something across the line despite the retro backdrop. Or discover an opportunity which changes everything. The 27th sees Mars head off into your career sector while the Sun opposes ruler Saturn – retrograde in your 3rd. Watch as new information comes to light or an alternative route reveals itself. And if travelling – pack more than Plan B, Cappy. Have Plans C thru Z handy.

In a nutshell: Nothing’s decided in such heavy retro weather, Cappy. So no matter what happens, keep your cool. Chances are what reverses then changes direction again. But if travelling – have more than one plan in mind.

AQUARIUS

Where is the love you can bank on?

Slow down

It’s all about the worth, Aquarius!

Ruler Uranus will join the intense retro weather front as of next week. Right now we have a five planet retro occurring. Mercury as of the 23rd in your 8th, Venus in your 7th, Saturn and Neptune in your 2nd and Pluto in your 12th. The big one for you is the Venus retro as Venus is in its ruling house in your chart.

However, the Sun arrives in your 8th the same day as Mercury retrogrades in here. This is your house of shared resources and other people’s money. Venus rules your bank account and Saturn and Neptune are retro in Venus’s ruling 2nd. What can I say, Aquarius? Love and your cash are the areas you need to focus on. The state of them right now. This isn’t about the new. It’s about working with what you have.

Love and money audits should be undertaken. We can easily understand the money part. But the love? Yes. What you save and spend. How it comes back. Even where it is – this may surprise you. Above all, if you are single and seeking, take this time to really delve into the qualities you need in a partner for it to last. The shared values, dreams and interests. In areas where it counts. Did you have these in the past? How many boxes were ticked? Or did you fall for someone just because they looked cute and paid you attention when you didn’t actually have much in common at all?

It’s tough work but worth it. This week sees Mars – definitely direct, enter your 9th – your house of long distance travel, foreigners, mass media, the law, academia and sports. With Mercury retrograde – don’t rush to get where you’re going, Aquarius. Do check everything before setting out. If you rush you could miss a key detail, make a mistake or accidents can occur. In fact, during this retro cycle taking everything slow is just the smartest move you can make.

In a nutshell: Slow down and take the time to appreciate the resources you have. Rather than go chasing after what you don’t. A quick love bank audit reveals there is so much more than you first imagined. But if you’re travelling – allow extra time. Don’t rush anything this week.

PISCES

Only the real thing will do, Pisces

The past reveals its pitfalls

Deal with the unreal – once and for all

Ruler Neptune and Saturn are retrograde in your sign. Venus is retrograde in your 6th. Pluto in your 11th. This week we have Mercury adding to this freaky retro weather front as it reverses in your 7th. The same day as the Sun’s arrival usually kick-starts your yearly love and partnership peak.

Don’t despair, sweet Pisces. This retro is set to deliver you love realness. Honestly, do you want any other kind? You know the answer. This is an expose which will show you clearly if what you have is the real deal. And how to deal with it if it’s not. And the other good news for singles? You’ll be able to look back at the past and spot all those red flags that told you the real thing wasn’t actually on offer and avoid these for the future.

If you are lucky enough to be in something real, do show it. And do remember, the real thing can be found in many forms. In that beneficial working relationship. With that Ride or Die who always has your back. With that collaborator who sparks so many ideas. You’ll see the realness on the 22nd when Mars opposes ruler Neptune. And again with your larger circle on the 25th.

The 27th and you’re ready to deal with the unreal as the Sun in your 7th opposes retro Saturn. Nothing that isn’t real heads forward with you from this point on. Mars crosses into its ruling 8thof endings and rebirths. And yes, if you have love reality with that special someone, you’ll be showing them just how much you care in the bedroom too.

In a nutshell: Love is in a state of ultimate realness as intense retrograde weather sweeps in to your partnership sector. You’ll know if what you have is for keeps. While the past reveals just where you ignored those red flags. So you can avoid them in the future.

Your Five Card Tarot Reading – Pick a card

Hello Wonderful One,

Tune into the 5 Tarot cards. Do you feel one calling you? Scroll down for you wisdom!

Love Michele

Tarot Card One – The Two of Cups

A soul connection reminds you who you are. The Two of Cups is a beautiful card all about love, equality, and hanging out with those that are a mirror for us. We all need a Two of Cups in our lives. Whether it’s a lover or best mate, the Two of Cups brings a lovely kinship moment. 

There’s a love around you that gets you, that sees you, and that supports you. Still waiting to meet this soul? Examine your belief system. Do you believe that that kind of love exists? Now is the time to open your arms to a joyful union.

Tarot Card Two – The Hanged One

The Hanged One teaches us the importance of waiting and that what’s for us will not pass us by. If things feel stagnant or in limbo, they remind us that everything has its season. In winter, we can’t see the fresh shoots just beneath the surface. 

The Hanged One also gives us time to reflect. Like Odin hanging from the tree, they see things we miss as we rush by. It’s a reflective, magical space. The Hanged One tells us to stop for a while and wait until we’ve got a whole new outlook before we move into action. It’s time to be objective and look at our patterns.

If you’ve been waiting for a change or something important to happen, and it’s in limbo, don’t push against the tide. Do what your divine spirit has to do to be practical, and then play, have fun, and think outside the box. Turn the waiting into a sacred space as you gather the power.

Tarot Card Three – The Wheel of Fortune

One thing is for sure, life is constantly changing. As humans we try very hard to control our fate. We get stuck in patterns and life can feel a hamster wheel rather than the Wheel of Fortune! 

All of that is about to change! The Wheel of Fortune turns, and the winds of destiny guide your path. The intricate dance of possibility and opportunity may soon place you precisely where you need to be. Life, as we know, operates in cycles, and occasionally, a lucky window opens just for us. 

A revelation emerges from an unexpected quarter. An offer may arrive from nowhere, a twist of fate. Keep your senses tuned for a remarkable connection, an encounter woven into the fabric of peculiar events, a tapestry threaded by the hand of destiny itself.

Tarot Card Four – 6 of Pentacles

Your capacity to spread compassion and wisdom to those around you is a gift. Yes, you might get frustrated and annoyed like us all, but fundamentally you’re a giver.

The 6 of Pentacles opens up your ability to receive and feel safe and rewarded for all you give. A gift is coming your way, and generosity is lighting your spirit. A touch of abundance is entering, and a moment of gratitude is soothing you. You deserve to experience and feel love and plenty. Open your arms to it!

Tarot Card Five – The Moon

Traditionally the Moon gets a bad rap in the Tarot, a Patriarchal shadow and fear of the wise one, the witches, and the untamed feminine. Let’s correct that.

Are you feeling anxious or is your free-spirited sorceress howling at the Moon? Are you currently insightful, vivid, magical, and daring? Or are you lost in a cave of doubt?

 The psychic rays of the Moon are calling to your intuition. Pay close attention to the signs and symbols the cosmos is sending you, and don’t give in to fear, fear is an illusion. You are a priestess of knowing so tune in! The answers have been with you all along.

Hooray! You can now order my Tarot deck and in-depth Tarot book. I put my heart into every page. Big love, Michele.

Your New Moon in Leo Moonscope August 2023

Your New Moon in Leo Moonscope August 2023

By our astrologer Elena

Generous, kind, creative and lit within by an inner glow that warms all those it touches. That’s the essence of the new Moon in Leo. It appears at 23o 17’ of Leo. And it tells us love is in the air and asks us to look at how we give this. As well as how open we are to receiving it. Which is the key to unlocking the gifts of this new Moon. We may have the giving part down pat. And can count a hundred splendid ways we show or shower our love on others. But are we doing this to cover up the fact we don’t believe we are worthy of receiving this is return? 

Look at me! This new Moon is a show-stopper. It wants attention. Basks in glory and needs to be adored. We all need positive strokes and to feel we are free to express our dancing true essence in any way that lights our souls. There’s nothing wrong with that. And if you feel stifled, held back or inhibited, this new Moon gently encourages out of your shell. It tells us we are loved and lovable – just the way we are. It’s a new Moon of attraction. And again, that leads us back to our ability to receive. Once we attract that lover, that opportunity, that focus – just how comfortable are we in embracing it? 

Do work on this no matter what your sign. This new Moon is especially provocative for the fire signs – Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Signs we can say which usually have no issues expressing themselves. However, no matter how outgoing we are, unkind criticism and rejection can dim out light. This new Moon reignites our joy and sees us stopping caring about the critics.

Being comfortable being the centre of attention is very different to attention seeking however. That’s a sign of a wounded inner child. If you seek out attention for all the wrong reasons or go to extreme lengths to get it, this new Moon invites you to begin a journey of healing. To self-parent and nurture your sweet, innocence within and return to it. That way you’ll be able to receive the love and attention you need without the need to chase it or become someone you’re not. This Moon is all about letting your fabulousness show. No effort required.

ARIES

All the world loves a lover, Aries. Be the most generous and genuine version of that you can be. And do look to your ability to receive as along with birthday sign of Leo, much of what I have written about the general influence of this new Moon applies to you. Look to your ability to receive. Anything from compliments to that heart’s desire. 

This is a new Moon to stop taking yourself for granted. To ditch any notion that there’s nothing that special about you. Maybe you walk around thinking anyone could do what you do? Well, maybe they could. But not exactly the way only you can do it. Unleash the lover within you. Show yourself self-appreciation. No, that’s not boastfulness or egoism. That’s your healthy dose of self-love. 

This new Moon brings in a fresh cycle of attraction and creation. Again, this all rests on your ability to receive it. Throw open your arms to the cosmos and declare ‘Whether I believe I deserve it or not, I am ready to accept love in all its forms’. Feel whole again. Not wounded. This Moon allows you to create something via the Law of Attraction. It’s a new Moon under which to claim what excites you and to go towards what puts a smile on your face when you get up in the morning. Love yourself enough to let yourself experience that, Aries. 

TAURUS

Gather what or who you love closer and infuse this with sweet, soothing love. Time to look at what grounds you in place. But at the same time provides you with room for growth.

Your home, lifestyle, family and living arrangements come under the microscope. Take delight in these and above all, move to create a home you can be proud of. Where does that lifestyle or even lifepath, require a renovation or an upgrade? If yours is too restricted, cramped or you’ve simply outgrown it, this new Moon tells you its time to think about transplanting yourself elsewhere. 

No matter what, where or how this takes place, you will be writing a new kind of success story with this new Moon Leo. It’s the Homelife success story. And the take out is long term satisfaction. Any property dealings should go well and this includes renting. Look also to your work/career path as this has a direct impact on this. Again, if you are dissatisfied with your current role, this new Moon should trigger the desire to go seek out something more rewarding.

Children will feature if you have them. As will family members. Look back at your childhood at how you were made to feel not just special but also capable too. Were your parents or prime carer able to offer encouragement and support but also knew when to step back and allow you to try things for yourself? Look at your own parenting style which has resulted from this. Ask what your children really need from you. Chances are a family member is looking to you for guidance or as an example. You know how much you have to give in this department, Taurus. Confidence and a feeling that yes, you can are the best gifts you have to offer.

GEMINI

What’s your story, morning glory? What puts the smile on your face, the pep in your step, a song in your heart? What is the thought or idea that has you all fired up? The new Moon in your 3rd is ignition time. What excites you, Gemini? Because chances are there’s something specific that’s behind all of this. The thinking or talking part is over. You’re action oriented and no longer content to spin those wheels. 

What you set in motion, a conversation you start, what you share, where you go, a simple Like or Hello turns into something with far bigger significance. You’re craving something bigger which acts as a portal to love and other opportunities. And you intuitively understand this is something you have to kick-start yourself. There’s no talking and nothing else. Action has to follow intention.

I could say a ‘golden’ moment or idea springs from this, Gemini. Just the thought of this triggers a wellspring of passion inside you. Ignoring it, doing nothing – it simply isn’t an option for you. You also let go of worries around ‘success’ or ‘failure’. You envisage a positive result simply because you want the experience of going for it. The only failure is doing nothing. And that sheer outgoing enthusiasm and curiosity – not just in finding out what’s on the road to your dreams but a sincere interest in the dreams of others – so contagious.

CANCER

What does money have to say about you, Cancer? A freshly baked new Moon in any sign always marks the beginning of an important new emotional journey for you in a specific area. This of course depends on the house the Moon appears in. Leo and your 2nd rules the money you make, your possessions, assets and self-worth. 

Money talks. And it is a two-way conversation. You of all signs are able to intuitively link to the message each new moon has for you. Let your money and even your own inner values, have their say under this one. Yes, I am certain you have a lot to say about your cash. But this Moon wants you to hear what your cash is saying back. And there is a message here no matter what your current financial situation. One that if you listen to carefully, and take on board, can open you up to a new kind of rich and abundant flow.

If you’re ready to receive on more than one level – begin by simply adding up your money messages. These include the obvious things you spend your money on. Pop goes the weasel on Birkins would be one example. What’s the emotional take out you get from what you buy? Another kind of money message would be that pile of unopened bills. Your reluctance to check your bank balance. Is your wardrobe full of labels but you feel oddly worthless? Or do you look at something which you had to save for but which you use all the time and which enhances your creativity, joy and wellbeing and think ‘That’s the best money I ever spent’? Or maybe it wasn’t on a thing but an experience instead?

What your money is saying to you may be linked to messages you received about money growing up. ‘Money is the root of all evil’. ‘Money is hard to come by’. ‘Money can’t buy happiness’. ‘I don’t care too much for money’. ‘You only get rich by being ruthless’. You can imagine your money as a person. You can write down all your money clues and messages. And from this translate the truth about you and money. And now you get to talk back, Cancer. And its a whole different and richly satisfying conversation from here on in.

LEO

You’re brand new and gotta glow with the new Moon in your 1st, Leo. No matter when your birthday actually falls, the new Moon in Leo always marks the astrological start of your new cycle. So, how do you show the world you’re no longer the old you on some fundamental level?

Of course an image update is the first thing that comes to mind. And the most obvious. You have to match the exterior you with the inner new one that is filled with excitement, desire and freshly baked potential. Do choose different, Leo. Take a step away from the expected or what you usually opt for. Shake up your appearance. Be bolder. You’re still you of course. But this Leo 2.0 is fiercer and more defined. What once worked and sent the right message may require a brand evolution. 

Above all, begin something which fires up your soul in the next two weeks. Yes, I do realise Venus is retrograde in your sign which slows down those personal plans. But seeing as we are talking about your relaunch, how about a passion revival, Leo? Yes, there’s the obvious example when it comes to turning the heat back up with someone you care about. But there’s also that dream or project that still burns and you still yearn to experience. If it still excites and inspires you, then time to reclaim it. Or redesign it anew so it fits right in with the updated version of you that you’re launching.

VIRGO

The new Moon immediately before your birthday cycle begins is like a messenger alerting you to what lies ahead for you, Virgo. It’s that feeling that something is shifting or about to arrive. You may not know exactly what form this will take. But what you do feel is the certainty, the anticipation, that something important is about to occur.

Use this mounting sense of excitement – even if it is as yet undefined, to reset and release, Virgo. Along with the Sun and new Moon, we also have Venus retro in your 12th. Ask yourself what could potentially slow the arrival of what’s waiting to emerge for you? Could it be you hanging on to old wounds, pain and resentment? This is your house of hidden truths, of the past and of deep meaning. Perhaps there is another way of looking at any pain, loss or betrayal you may have experienced? A way that frees you and lightens your soul? And brings about total healing as a result?

If you are carrying old wounds, had you ever considered that the universe loves you so much it sent you the situations which caused them so you could evolve much faster than anyone else? It already knew your immense capacity to forgive and let go. You just had to realise this for yourself. Yes, forgiving can be hard. But staying in pain is harder still. Who can you forgive? I am not making excuses for them or pretending they did not cause you pain. Just understand karma is the ultimate bounty hunter. If you owe it, you can go on the run but sooner or later it catches up. So, now you know something good is on its way, clear the path by tapping into your capacity to forgive. And leave the rest to the cosmos as you head towards what wants you next.

LIBRA

Friendship at its most loyal, dazzling and inclusive is what the new Moon in your 11th offers. It’s true, Libra. Nobody ever had a friend quite like you. You’re the bae, the bestie, the Ride or Die or wing person that everyone wants. They know you got their back. You should know who has yours.

People who are your kind of quirky – creative, individualistic, unapologetically real, impact on and enter your life now. You always need to be a joiner under this new Moon. The ultimate cosmic mixer is on offer. Where you can cross social lines and enter fresh new orbits where you can encounter others who may initially seem very different. But on closer examination you have so much in common.

Don’t forget however that ruler Venus is retrograde in this house in your chart. This is about the love of friends. Not the romantic kind. Even if something does begin, its likely to simply and effortlessly slide into a friendship later. Watch for the faraway-so-close lover who is either located overseas or has overseas connections. Their very difference or out-of-reach allure, (or a killer combo of both), could be what makes them so enticing. But going the distance? Just ensure they don’t represent a part of you that yearns to simply ditch the dulls. 

This is a new Moon under which to either revive an old goal and approach it from a fresh perspective. Or set yourself a brand new one. Ensure its pursuit takes you somewhere new, Libra. Yes, you do need to ditch the dulls. Or help others escape theirs like the true friend you are.

SCORPIO

Leo is the stand out sign of the zodiac. They scintillate, sparkle and shine. They are designed to roar. My favourite ‘It has to be a Leo’ quote comes from the film Sister Act. Maggie Smith (Reverend Mother) describing soon-to-be-nun singer Deloris (Whoopi Goldberg):  That is not a person you can hide. That is a conspicuous person designed to stick out. This new Moon asks: How are you designed to stick out? And – Are you afraid of your own magnificence? 

It wants you to explore and understand your potential. And simply ensure you are living it. It is in your 10th house – your house of career, reputation, rewards and public image (there’s the standing out for you!). The spotlight turns in your direction. Have you been rehearsing for this moment? Are you ready? 

Success is a multi-layered journey we are here to learn from. The road to it often winds rather than offers a direct route. And that’s part of the learning. Success is also something which needs to be self-defined as opposed to society’s definition of it. First, this new Moon wants you to be very clear about what your idea of greatness is. How you wish to live your magnificence. Second, it tells you to get serious about it. Serious results require a serious commitment. Third – and most importantly, it asks you ditch any fears you have about succeeding. These can range from impostor syndrome to subconscious worries about how or what we may ‘leave behind’ as we rise. Go deep and tackle these.

Make your moves – or set things in motion. Know you can. You may find yourself asked to step up into a position of authority, offered a new job, promotion or raise, or be in the public eye in some way. You’re up where you belong, Phoenix. Don’t doubt it.

SAGITTARIUS

Do check your chart for Sag factors at 23 degrees. Within a 1-2 degree orb. The new Moon in your 9th marks the beginning of a Sag-themed journey for you. It’s fire, freedom and fierce courage. It’s ‘Nothing’s gonna stop us now’. It’s a new Moon under which to seize the day and make something happen. 

Yes, you are one of the signs set to receive big new Moon benefits. Something is calling to you and it is important you answer it. No small, hesitant steps. This Moon calls for big, bold moves. Big goals, big loves, big journeys. The new Moon signals luck is moving with you if you take that first step. But you do have to take it to make it.

If you haven’t done any reading around the subject of the s/heroes journey, now is a good time. The protagonist in this tale is now you. Where are you on your quest? Venus is retrograde in your 9th at the same time as this new Moon appears. So, returning to a dream is likely. As is travelling back to somewhere or something you love. If you refused the call to adventure before – and this is always a key feature of the journey, here it comes again. And you won’t say no a second time. Set something powerful in motion. It’s connected to something close to your heart. Just thinking about it puts a smile on your face and infuses you with energetic possibilities. That’s your direction to head in. Go big or go home, Sag.

CAPRICORN

The new Moon in your 8th invites you to reconnect to the immensity of your personal power, Capricorn. Sometimes life’s messy twists and turns see us disconnected from it. We lose our connection to our own magnificence. Here’s your opportunity to plug back in to yours.

At the same time, partnerships and what you share with others may also feature. How we act, our ability to negotiate what’s fair and equal, what we receive is also governed by our belief in our inner power. Otherwise we come from a place of powerlessness. That’s not you. The borders and boundaries shift. You reconnect to your core – a part of you that is actually aligned to your ruler Saturn. It’s very important you come from real strength. That reservoir of knowing that you can get the result you want by coming from a place of certainty and unshakeable resolve.

How you and someone else jointly share or manage your money or other resources, comes under this new Moon. You could be looking at taking at a loan (take your time as Venus is retro in here), settling debts, receiving a raise or pay out, or how you spend, save or divide things up. And yes, this is your new Moon of rebooted sexiness, Cappy. The right kind that doesn’t need an over-sell. You know what you got and you own it now. This isn’t about over-sexualisation or posting photos of your butt (no matter how cute it is), on Instagram. You’re not chaste you are choosy – and rightly so. Those assets (sic) which come under this new Moon are also your personal ones. Be empowered to only share with those who deserve them.

AQUARIUS

Stop in the name of love! Do check your chart for factors around the 23 degree point especially in your own sign. If you have them this new Moon represents an important new beginning in partnership matters. But do keep in mind that due to the Venus retrograde also in your 7th, that love’s final form needs time to emerge. Rush is a red flag right now.

Rewrite the stars, rejuvenate the love, reclaim Cupid’s arrows from where they missed their target, and aim anew. Yes, yours is the rebel unique heart of the zodiac. But this only makes it all the more worth winning, Aquarius. If you’ve ‘settled’ in the past because perhaps you thought there was no one who could fully match you, then you’ve already lived the results of that. Not terribly loved-up or satisfying, were they? There’s no more compromises of the kind where you stop being yourself. Authentic realness is the only way to love and be loved. 

This new Moon offers you a return to that. Or what love is meant to be for you. The perfect match – in any kind of duo, duet or double act, is obvious. As is what you now need to do if its not. Do hold off from seeking a new relationship for now however due to that Venus retro. Getting clear on where you’ve gone wrong in the past, releasing it without blaming either party, is the ultimate self-love act. Lost loves can return –  but only if they allow you to be yourself. The same goes for working relationships, business and other collaborations, that bae – love begins with you being utterly and compelling you. Take you as you are, Aquarius.

PISCES

Time to update a key area of your daily routine, work, schedule or regimen, Pisces. Fit to live life and love should be your goal. Did you know that feeling of wellbeing and the Law of Attraction are linked? It makes so much sense when you think about it. To attract, we have to feel good. If our energy is low, if we feel tired, in pain – mental or physical, then it follows the flow is blocked. So, see wellness as important and make it your priority under this new Moon.

Your 6th house contains enormous potential because it rules what we do every day. Our day job (paid or unpaid), our habits and routines, what we fuel our bodies with – food, thoughts, the environments we inhabit and the people who we are in contact with. Our studies if we are engaged in them. Self-improvement in every form. Taking care of what we need to do and ensuring we achieve satisfaction from doing it. All this makes up a healthy lifestyle. And the effects ripple out into every other area. 

Don’t dismiss even the smallest adjustment or the effect it could have, Pisces. Change your thoughts, shake yourself out of that rut and make different choices. Watch your mood lift and your energy begin to increase as a result. The biggest success story we can possibly create for ourselves is a life that we want to live every day. Bring your focus down to what you take for granted and do by rote or habit. Does it serve, support or save you precious time for what you love? If it doesn’t tick at least one of those boxes it should go. This new Moon points to an every day power at your fingertips which once accessed, leaves you feeling good again. And when you feel good,  everything begins to flow your way.

Weekly Astrology August 14th 2023 Forecast for All Signs

ARIES

Freedom, fire, creativity, love – arrive when you least expect

No hesitation – no fear

Don’t judge the gift by the box it comes in!

Surprise developments are just that. Jack in the Boxes which startle but you need to be open minded as to what they bring you. Most of them occur on the day a new Moon appears in your fabulizing 5th. Uranus in your 2nd is all caught up by the new lunar energy. And also by the Sun in your 5th and ruler Mars in your 6th.

No matter what springs out of the box this day – the surprise is set to bring you something so much more aligned with who you are. And which allows you to shine bright and step into a new cycle of creativity and loving. Even it on the surface, it might not look like it at first! Bold, brave steps and new beginnings lead to long term satisfaction. And you so much more fulfilled and loved-up.

It’s all in the spin you put on it, Aries. As well as your ability to playfully adapt, shrug and know you are heading for better things. Of course, the surprise could be something unexpectedly heart-starting and breathtaking. Tip of the week: don’t get too fixed on one outcome or goal. If you do – you could miss something (or someone!), so much better. Unwrap this new Moon like a surprise gift.

In a nutshell: Surprise twists, the unexpected, a new way of seeing things – one, some or all could open up fresh possibilities in love, money or solutions for you, Aries. Ask yourself if there’s a different way of seeing things. The perspective contains all the magic you need.

16 Aug 2023 Sun in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (5th to 2nd)

16 Aug 2023 Mars in Virgo trine Uranus in Taurus (6th to 2nd)

16 Aug 2023 New Moon in Leo (5th)

16 Aug 2023 Juno enters Leo (5th)

20 Aug 2023 Ceres in Libra opposition Chiron in Aries (7th to 1st)

TAURUS

Long term loves take on fresh meaning

Step up into home truths around your needs

Make that commitment

Home thoughts – of stability, commitment, belonging – crowd in this week. What you are seeking, what you need in the long term – and this includes your path, gets reignited with fresh purpose thanks to the new Moon in your 4th.

Family members may be looking to you. Or property matters or decisions around where and what, call on you to honour your needs. Even as you take those of others into consideration. A call or a choice may be presented to you. You’ll do what feels emotionally right for you as you honour your foundation and core truths, Taurus.

Don’t be afraid to make a move. A radical, break out one if needed. This is big fixed sign energy. And its so easy to get stuck or take the easy option. Even if actually, it doesn’t do us any good. Juno’s arrival in your 4th the same day as the new Moon appears, is all about commitment. To a place. A lifestyle. A direction. To stepping up on to firm, solid ground. If a curve ball gets thrown into the mix – you so got this. Stay connected to your values and what you instinctively know is right. Doors literally fly open wide this week. To options you may have been blind to up until now.

In a nutshell: It’s a week of home truths. And owning what it is you need. You’ll willing to go all in for the long haul when it comes to taking care of yours. And the needs of those you care about. And also to commit to letting go of what doesn’t.

GEMINI

Lighten up!

Get a fresh perspective on what truly matters

Truth telling sends you in new direction

Above all this week – don’t take things too seriously, Gemini. You have one of the most curious, seeking and open minds of the zodiac. So, as the new Moon appears in your 3rd (16th), don’t take anything on face value, ask as many questions as your curious mind demands, and know just like under a Mercury retrograde – things can change and more facts can come to light.

Your 12th house is one of secrets. And also where your fate resides. Triggers by this new Moon, the Sun and also Mars in your 4th, impact on Uranus in here. And Uranus is the planet of having a universal outlook. It loves to shift our perspective. And that’s what’s happening now. A new perspective on what love, your future direction and how you move into it to claim it looks like.

You could enter or exit something long term now – once those questions have been answered that is. This is a new Moon under which to launch something, to try, experiment or move in a totally unexpected direction. Or to simply opt for a different flavour that what you’ve chosen in the past. Especially when it comes to lovers or where you’re going next. Ceres in your 5th opposing Chiron in your 11th says the future is unwritten from here on in. You change it when you make a different choice.

In a nutshell: As Yoda reminds us: Always in motion is the future. We change that motion when we make a different choice than we have done in the past. Your secret sauce or superpower this week is seeing something in a new light. And acting accordingly to shape something better from it.

CANCER

You own it – or can, Cancer

Fabulize yourself

I love the bright lights, I got to boujee!

Oh that new Moon in your 2nd just loves the boujee, Cancer. Yes, this is the start of your astrological new financial year. Yes, it’s about what you earn and own. But also ensuring it doesn’t own you. Leo and your 2nd likes the glam, glitter and the bling. This is the sign of showing off. And yes, time to look at how you relate to the fabulous material things life has to offer. And your self-esteem and knowing you are worth it – whatever ‘it’ is.

This includes love with this house. As well as how the world treats you and rewards you. Just ensure this is an accurate reflection of who you are. You can be decked out in the crown jewels (Leo rules royalty), but can still be humble. Or know you don’t need any gilding to come across as regal.

If you are in a position to enter into a long term financial commitment – this is a good time. That better paying job. Taking out that mortgage for instance. But do remember what I said about what you own owning you instead. If we rack up debts we find hard to pay off, then the stuff we bought now owns us.

The planets impacting on this new Moon don’t want that for you. In fact, they offer freedom from that. A new direction towards that opens up courtesy of a path taking opposition between Ceres in your 4th and Chiron in your career and status sector. Give it due consideration as opportunity is also an asset. That’s real rich for you.

In a nutshell: Bring on the bling, Cancer! There’s nothing wrong with a trip down the material world superstore now and again. The new Moon in your 2nd points to the resources to experience a little more in your life. And yes, it’s okay to be boujee just once in a while!

LEO

Launch that new beginning

Know your outcome

Reconnect to your soul wisdom

Hello birthday sign! No matter when your actual birthday falls, the new Moon in your 1st always marks the astrological start of your fresh cycle. Served piping hot and loaded with extra potential this year. You do however have to be ready to bring your best game, Leo. No half measures or uncertainty. That shining, 24 carat self-belief has to be hallmarked and unshakable in your mind. Know what you want. Where you will compromise. But also where those deal breakers are.

The new Moon clears the path towards the truth of what it is you are really aiming for. Due to ruler the Sun and this Moon along with Mars in your 2nd, impacting on Uranus in your 10th, you won’t waste your time investing in anything that’s not aligned to this now. A course correction may follow. Others could be looking at validation and rewards for sticking to their stated intentions. Your stock lifts. You get invited to the VIP circle. You are noticed for all the right reasons. And yes, you have earned this, Leo.

The 20th opens the way for bold moves, clear intention and action. Grasp that momentum and use it to fuel forward motion as Ceres in your 3rd opposes Chiron in your 9th. If you come across blocks to progress, don’t be deterred. And also don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t go there or that your goals aren’t reachable. This week tells you to listen to no other voice but your guiding one, Leo. Don’t let the small minds of others shrink your potential.

In a nutshell: The new Moon in your sign infuses you with fresh intention. Don’t allow yourself to be waved from going after what you know you want for your new cycle, Leo. Only invest in what your sweet, truth telling inner guide is saying. Intention opens up so many fresh possibilities.

VIRGO

Nurture those dreams in the dark

Escape those preconceptions

Declutter your zone

What are you keeping under wraps, Virgo? This week is a good time to nurture those secret dreams and goals in the dark. Or to wait until after you’ve made your move to tell others about it. In fact, you’ll take a certain delight in confounding people’s expectations. Especially around what they think you should or will do.

You’ll hate to think anyone sees you as predictable as the new Moon appears in your 12th. You’re also craving your space. You never like clutter anyway, Virgo. But this week beings cluttered by the demands, negative thoughts or energy of others, has a bigger impact than usual. Don’t be afraid to claim your clarity and your right to peace and release. Retreat or have a mental health detox if needed. And what you do to attain this may surprise you. It may be different from what you would normally do. But turns out to be oh-so-effective. And if you initiate new habits or even boundaries, now – you’ll maintain them.

Feeling invisible on some level? The combination of this new Moon plus the key opposition between Ceres and Chiron (across your 2nd and 8th houses), sees you no longer willing to remain in the shadows. What you’re not revealing just yet is going to be something that makes everyone sit up and take notice. You choose the timing around when you do that. For maximum effect, Virgo.

In a nutshell: No worries, no hurries. A new Moon in your 12th engages with Uranus in your 9th. Illuminating a previously hidden path to freedom. When it comes to those plans, or shaking up how others see you – take all the time you need. And weed out that negativity once and for all.

LIBRA

Co-create and collaborate

Charge up those goals

The universe has your back – and a plan

Your co-creators are waiting now to collaborate on crafting a fresh future for you with the new Moon in your 11th. It’s appearance sets goals in motion. You are one of the few signs this week who are able to consciously direct this energy. And sent it in the direction you want it to go. Rather than simply be carried along with it like a tide.

The reason for this is that the Sun and new Moon impact on Uranus in your change sector. And Uranus rules your 11th. Along with this Mars currently in your 12th makes a positive charge to Uranus – and Mars rules your 8th. Your mind is open. You are willing to try, experiment and above all, put yourself out there. This isn’t a new Moon under which to be a boxset hermit. For the next two weeks, focus on your social life, your friends, contacts and connections. And do initiate major moves when it comes to charging up one important long term goal. Who can you pull into this? Who has already done what you are setting out to achieve? These people are your resources and your cheer squad.

Ceres has returned to your sign and opposes Chiron in your 7th (20th). This could bring about the arrival of a new partnership potential. One that could be linked to that goal. This may or may not be a love prospect. But they have the juice you need to go about something in a new way. Be open, receptive and above all, a self-starter this week. Don’t let life, time or opportunity pass you by.

In a nutshell: Watch for an unexpected opening or opportunity. Towards love or a freshly baked goal you want to attain. Above all – engage with change simply by engaging with others. Life is a collaborative venture. Align with those with a vision to match yours.

SCORPIO

Follow that vision

Step up and claim what’s waiting for you

Bigger, bolder, more beautiful – love

That vision takes you higher this week. Bigger, better, bolder, Scorpio. For yourself and for those you love. Unexpected and dynamic duo energy shifts and swirls around you. Thanks to the new Moon in your 10th and the Sun fuelling Uranus in your 7th house. And further charged by old ruler Mars in your 11th.

Single as a Pringle? You need to be ready to mingle this week. Don’t forget – you also have Jupiter making its once-in-a-12-year transit for your 7th. Duos, duets, double acts of all kinds feature. And when I say all kinds – do be open to anyone who is radically different to those you might have been involved with in the past.

Step up if offered that promotion, better paying position or opportunity to showcase what you have to offer under this new Moon. This is your house of status and public image. Where your reputation and how you are seen and perceived is defined. And the important thing to keep in mind is – you are in charge of this. Own it, phoenix. You could attract the attention of someone in a position of influence – in the traditional term, not the Insta-famous kind. Or that potential partner who is a ‘catch’. If the past does reappear this week, do ask yourself whether or not you are done. Is this like a club DJ who only has one track to spin? You’re done with spinning your wheels, Scorpio. No more replays.

SAGITTARIUS

Redefine freedom

Be open to taking an alternative route

Let go in order to move up

What does freedom look like for you? For some of you, it could simply be working smarter as opposed to harder. To inventively streamlining what you have to do in order to have more time for what you want to do.

It could be finally getting round to attending to those areas of life that may be okay – but actually aren’t serving you any longer. This week says if you want freedom, then don’t put this off. Of course, the new Moon in your 9th ignites the desire for all things beloved of Sagittarians. And sees you willing to take bold steps to claim them. Travel, fire, expansion and that all-important sense of freedom. The Sun and Moon’s angles to Uranus in your 6th shows you a better way to go about getting these. Necessity is the mother or creator of invention. You need something so this is going to mean upturning something you usually do to get it. And finding a new and better way.

It’s time to let go of something. To feel lighter and brighter. This new Moon whispers of paths not taken and adventures and opportunities waiting to happen. This isn’t the time for hesitation. But it is one to explore new ways to get where you need to. Look to alternatives. It could turn into a short cut. Ceres in your 11th opposition Chiron in your 5th tells you this path is a very different one to what you have explored before. Go there, Sag.

In a nutshell: You know something big is coming. But you may not know what form it will take. Be ready under the new Moon in your 9th to explore a new path. No fear. No hesitation. That alternative route? It could be the highway to heaven you’ve been waiting for.

CAPRICORN

Change promises something different

Go for that freeing feeling

Change a thought – change your world

Turn and face the strange, ch-ch-ch-changes, this week, Cappy. The Sun and new Moon in your 8th say you may not know what you want or need – until you see it. Or it sees you. We never really change anything. We simply change our reaction or viewpoint to it. And that always gives us the release and magic result we were looking for all along. It releases us and we soar free.

Uranus in your 5th is all about the unexpected, the surprising and yes, the freeing. The Sun and new Moon, along with Mars in your 9th, all impact it on the 16th, and together bring about well – just the change you were waiting for. You change gears, shift that focus and voila! New result or a fresh path.

Money, what you share with others, your income, mortgage, finances, loans may feature and solutions are to hand. And then there’s your sexiness, Capricorn. You may be seeing that in a new light as well. And how you werk it, along with some sass and daring, may get someone looking at you in a whole new light. They say its only a thought we need to change to change our lives and our destiny. You should show just how true this is in the following two weeks.

In a nutshell: The new Moon in your change sector triggers a sassy, sexier version of you. One who is not afraid to make changes in order to get what they want, Cappy. If you want something to transform, changing how you see it, brings the outer shift you’ve been waiting for.

AQUARIUS

Just how loved up are you feeling?

What you want is good for you

Enter into a new partnership dynamic

Who, what, where you love – all are infused with the promise of fresh starts and new beginnings thanks to the new Moon in love-in Leo and your 7th this week. Ruler Uranus has to get in on the act – naturally. Both the Sun in your 7th and this Moon bring about a desire to make some long overdue changes around love. Uranus asks you if you have allowed yourself to get stuck? If that status quo continues to serve you? Or if you have outgrown something? Maybe an old definition of what love should be or looks like for instance?

You are ignited by the desire to make a change. To do something about bringing back passion into a key area. And if you have neglected the partnership element of your life – to take steps to put this to rights as Mars in its ruling 8th aligning to your ruler says more of what you want is what you need.

Have you stopped feeling sexy, attractive, loveable? If so, take a good look and vow to feel good about yourself again. And do what it takes to bring this about. Juno’s arrival in your 7th on the same day as the new Moon is all about the pledge. If not to a particular person, place or path, then to yourself. The key Ceres/Chiron opposition on the 20th points to a new direction you can take to attain this. If you dare. Don’t be afraid to rock the boat, Aquarius. That simply tells you the wind is filling your sails and blowing you where you need to get to.

In a nutshell: The new Moon in your 7th along with ruler Uranus tells you that the only kind of love you need is the soul evolving yet sustaining kind, Aquarius. That includes self-love if that’s been lacking lately. Dare to go claim it for yourself. In whatever direction it lies.

PISCES

Feed your soul

Follow the energy to the truth

What you need comes from an unexpected source

Soul food features with the new Moon in your 6th this week. Not the cuisine per se. Although reaching for your favourite comforts and eating right is a good idea. I am speaking about what feeds your soul and nourishes it on a spiritual level. Time to ensure you are getting enough vitamins and goodness mentally and spiritually.

To do this, we need to downshift for a bit. To take a closer look at our routines, habits, what we do and where we inhabit. The daily minutiae of our lives we take for granted. And which normally goes unnoticed by us. But which has a bigger impact upon us than we realise.

Both the Sun and new Moon form a high speed link to Uranus in your 3rd. And you may suddenly receive information via a surprising source which relates to this. Look to your day job (paid or unpaid), your diet, exercise, wellness regimen (or lack thereof), and even the vibes around who you spend most of your time with. And what you spend that time doing. Keep an energy diary if you are not sure. What leaves you drained? What sends your energy level soaring?

What do you deep down know you need to change? But may be avoiding by putting your energy into something else entirely? The trine between Mars in your 7th and Uranus shows you the love that’s good for you. And what isn’t. And also hands you the confidence and zesty desire to really do something about it. Things must change – you know this. And you get to change them for the better. By choosing what really feeds your soul. That’s the diet you need to follow from here on in.

In a nutshell: What truly sustains you and nurtures you – mind, body and soul, requires your focus this week, Pisces. Soul food is the diet you need to follow. It’s what feeds that energy level. Take time to discover what does – and cut out what doesn’t.

Weekly Astrology August 7th 2023 Forecast for All Signs

ARIES

Hold on to what matters most

Revive the past

Prepare for renewals

Retro Venus may not be to anyone’s liking, Aries. So don’t for one moment imagine you’re alone with feeling discombobulated when it comes to matters close to your heart. Or your cash.

The trick to surviving this retrograde is to be a shining beacon for your values, Aries. And don’t lose the faith. In love that is, as for some of us this can leave us feeling a little jaded. Know if you start the week in exactly that mindset, by the end of it you’ll be more upbeat that a Cher track.

Stick to your values if confronted by someone who is coming from a different set. Yes, we have two intense squares between the Sun in your 5th and Jupiter in your 2nd. And then retro-active Venus in your 5th and Uranus in your 2nd (7th -9th). Is something more off again than on again? You’re right to feel this is entering the tired phase, Aries. Maybe its time to ensure others know they’re out of time (and your patience).

Promises need to be delivered upon. That goes for the ones you make too. But what the start of the week truly asks of you is the willingness to explore and experiment. Do you really think this is the only option available to you? You are being pointed in a direction where you can discover shining alternatives and previously unrealised solutions and potentials. Sure, at the end of this you may indeed come to the conclusion that you have the best deal out there. But do use this energy to ensure that’s the case and you’re not just ‘settling’ due to perceived lack of options, Aries. The 10th could uncover some for you.

That whole vibe changed I promised you? You’ll embrace it when the Sun meets retro Venus (13th). You and another find yourselves back on the same page. Something from your past reappears repurposed and more satisfying this time around. Or you embrace that alternative discovery you made. Yes, the mehs around love vanish and you believe again. Or just now know that you are definitely too good for someone or something, Aries!

In a nutshell: Values are both your lodestone and your compass when it comes to navigating your way through the Venus retrograde. If you and another share the same it could be time to re-pledge that love. Otherwise – no more settling for less than meets those standards.

TAURUS

Who moved your mojo?

Is it time to break a few rules?

Claim the path you were always destined to take

Ruler Venus retro is a bigger deal for you than any other sign. Aside from fellow Venus-ruled Libra that is. That feeling someone moved your mojo? Cut you off from your creative flow? Locked you out of your particular pleasure room (be this the one with handcuffs or pizza!). All of which have you giving thanks that Venus retros rarely.

The fact is, this is your love recovery period. As in reviving lost loves (including what you love doing), reinvesting in existing loves that carry your heart forward, and All retrogrades involve ‘re’ words and a Venus one is no exception.

The start of the week gets a bit Tina Turner as in Break Every Rule with two squares between Jupiter and Uranus in your sign and the Sun and retro Venus in your 4th. You may surprise yourself at this point in what you are prepared to do to re-set the love in your life. Do be aware that this is your house of property and home. So, a property matter may flip-flop, delay or even in some cases reverse as a result with someone changing their mind. Just as you may change yours about what it is you do and don’t want, Taurus.

When it comes to love you crave the heart-starter, the variety, the excitement that you feel is missing. But do stick to the retro rules if you can when it comes to going out to look for this. The up and down feel of the start of the week will be replaced by something satisfying which completes you across the 10th – 13th.

A gorgeous, generous, free-flowing, love struck angle of attraction occurs between Mercury in your 5th and Jupiter. What you’ve been searching for turns up. Or you realise you already have the solution to hand. The Sun fuses with retro Venus on the 13th, reigniting a love that’s lain dormant or simply bringing something back for you. The good thing is – you don’t have to go looking for it, Taurus. Or break too many rules to get it.

In a nutshell: What you’ve done in the past may no longer be working, Taurus. Yes, you usually steer clear of colouring too far outside the lines, Taurus. But when it comes to love, Venus retro tells you it may be time to break a few rules.

GEMINI

Embrace the beautifully unpredictable

Alternatives appear for your consideration

Get ready for Love 5.0

Peer into that crystal ball this week and you’re likely to receive a ‘Cloudy with a chance of meatballs’ message. There’s a touch of the unpredictable around you. Events could take an unexpected turn or prove to have a life of their own. Honestly, letting go of any desire to control, staying flexible and above all, keeping an open mind, will truly reveal itself to be your best tactic.

Yes, you feel the retro vibe even when your ruler isn’t directly involved. Yet. That’s something to look forward to later this month, Gemini. For now, the creator of beautiful mayhem is Venus in Mercury’s ruling 3rd in your chart. The Sun square Jupiter in your 12th (7th) while retro Venus squares Uranus in here on the 9th. Something you may have thought was happening may now show you it goes no further in its present form. You may not see this one coming. But don’t for a moment think this may be a bad thing, Gemini.

Hot on its heels comes an alternative, better option, offer or solution for you. This time courtesy of your ruler trine Jupiter (10th). It may be that an initial stop sees you reaching for a different, more inventive approach. Or simply discussing elements that were simply being glossed over before. Now you can dig deep into the details. And unearth gold as you do so.

Take it anything which initially looks as if it may stall, fall over or was consigned to the past, may suddenly re-emerge brighter, repurposed or simply more aligned to who you are now as the Sun and retro Venus meet on the 13th. It’s a window within the retrograde which opens to show you that contrary to what you might believe, the new is waiting for you to claim it. Love 5.0 is just what you have been waiting for.

In a nutshell: The unexpected could put a different spin on a relationship. Or how you see things unfolding from here on in. The fact is you’ve changed on a fundamental level, Gemini. And your needs with this. What shifts is merely bringing love into alignment with the new you.

CANCER

If it’s worth it – reclaim it

Value yourself first

Remember those promises you made in the name of love!

Venus is retrograde in its ruling house in your chart. And like all planets, when it retrogrades in a ruling sign or house, its capacity to deliver retrograde snafus or even retrograde amnesia, increases exponentially.

What kind of retrograde amnesia, Cancer? Let’s see. How about conveniently forgetting all the reasons why you and that ex broke up the first time and instead just leaping straight back in without any kind of love autopsy process first? Or those vows you made to yourself about no more impulse buys? But there it is. That ‘must have’ item with 50% off!

You need to stick to your intentions no matter what this week. As you may get tested on your resolve. The Sun also in your 2nd square Jupiter in your 11th (7th). While retro Venus makes the same high tensile angle to Uranus in here on the 9th. If someone from the past crosses your path, I’m not saying you shouldn’t give them a second chance. But do take it slowly to ensure that past issues are no longer likely to trip you up this time.

And as far as that urge to splurge goes – just what are you buying? Or who are you trying to impress by buying it? Your friends? Your followers? Is it really the bargain you think it is? And do watch out for fake websites and scammers. If it’s too good to be true then it is.

However, do expect the revival or return of something worth while. Or from someone you are delighted to hear from again. Beauty reappears in some form thanks to the fusion between the Sun and Venus on the 13th. Just prior to this Mercury’s trine to Jupiter could put a goal within reach for you. Or usher in news that marks a win or start of a new cycle of abundance. You could be amazed at what you can achieve in the present. So do take your time to ensure anything from your past measures up to that, Cancer.

In a nutshell: Did you forget the promises you made to yourself, Cancer? As in no more of what doesn’t do you good in the long term? Don’t give into impulse this week. And if something is on offer again – ensure it sits with those values before saying yes.

LEO

Receive the gift of knowing exactly what you want

New beginnings replace endings

Listen to your heart

Like Taurus, the Venus retro could be causing you to ask: Who moved my mojo? – then the good news for you this birthday week is that you get it back. It’s pretty well a birthday cycle like no other, Leo. You feeling one step removed from being your usual life and soul of the party. An audience member instead of the star of the show. If anything is happening, it does so in slow stages. And then pauses. With no indication of when it may re-start again.

The meeting between your ruler the Sun and retro Venus on the 13th is a heartstarter moment in what may look like a flatline cycle. Right when you may be thinking nothing is moving. Or that if it is, its not in the direction you wanted it to go.

Time to get your dazzle fired back up, Leo. Something that’s had the pause button pushed on it or has been on the back burner is lit and glowing. It is however linked to your intention. How much do you truly, madly, deeply want it? You see, Venus retro in your 1st is all about you discovering exactly how much your heart is still in something. And often, the only way we discover that is to slow down. Retrogrades are in fact, clarification tools in disguise. They allow us to review what we want. And stop us time wasting when it comes to what we no longer do. We can release it instead and having lightened the load, leap off in a fresh direction once retro time is over.

If your intention hasn’t wavered and your feelings have not changed, then a birthday re-delivery around love or even a career matter is likely this week. Something represents itself for you. And do understand, this is a gift but one you can refuse if it no longer seems right for you. Knowing that is a gift in itself, Leo. No matter what form it takes, or what you decide, you see that bold, brazen, brilliant new beginnings surround you or are swirling into being. Despite all appearances to the contrary. Between now and next month, you’re on your way towards something beautifully affirming and satisfying, Leo.

In a nutshell: The heart wants what the heart wants. But sometimes we stop listening, Leo. Venus retro this birthday cycle shows you if you’ve been ignoring the beat of that true desire. Get ready for a heart-starting moment. That’s your best birthday gift.

VIRGO

Different doesn’t mean not what you wanted (or need!)

Enter into the cosmic timing slipstream

Back to the Future love comes calling

Back to the future love or the return of an opportunity shows you something still has a heartbeat, Virgo. Ruler Mercury in your sign trines Jupiter in its ruling 9th in your chart (10th). The news or way forward for you is pretty well unmissable. But the tighty-flighty square of the week with the Sun, retro Venus and Jupiter and Uranus in your 9th promise a different spin on things this time around.

Can you look past the obvious to see opportunity in disguise, Virgo? Yes, something can be rebooted for you. Or for some, an even better deal may be on offer. This tests you as to how attached you may be on one particular result or outcome. Or even the path you believe you need to take to succeed. Be willing to open your mind and explore alternatives if they are held out to you.

Back to the future love could involve a familiar feel, but a different packaging this time around. Think of this as updated, repurposed love. Love 5.0. Love which has perfect timing. Some of you may end up contemplating this as the Sun and retro Venus meet in your 12th on the 13th. This is of course, your house of the past. But it is also your house of cosmic timing and yes – mysterious ways. That delivery could well involve someone or something you wanted or tried to bring about in the past. But somehow, the timing just wasn’t right.

Now, those cosmic cogs in that big karmic clock align. And it happens without you having to intervene or do anything untoward to bring it about. It’s a lesson if so, Virgo. Everything happens in its own time. Including love and other opportunities.

In a nutshell: The Venus retrograde shows you that you can’t hurry love to quote the song. But also that everything in the universe has its own timing. When the timing is right, it happens. Do surrender to this now, Virgo.

LIBRA

A door is held open. Walk through it head high

A reversal is revealed to be a forward move

Change and rebirth? Effortless, Libra!

Someone could be offering you serious entrée this week, Libra. This could be someone you already know or who are connected to. This could relate to a goal, a group or even in some cases, VIP access. The doors they can potentially open for you could give you access to the people or resources you need. Or they have the ability to act as your advocate and make things happen.

Yes, this is all courtesy of ruler Venus retrograde in your 11th and conjunct the Sun in here on the 13th. But do take it that you will be in the spotlight in some way all week, Libra. And it’s important that whatever circles you orbit in, you project the right image and show you’re a good fit. This is of course, a very different matter to being someone you are not simply to fit in and be liked. Think social or goal mobility. That’s what’s on offer here.

It’s change and a positive one. A situation that may have been stagnant for far too long is shifting. Hold your head high, walk tall. Your moment to showcase your talents or smarts could arrive. No matter the company you find yourself with – know you belong there. Also, keep in mind this isn’t about how much money you have right now. It’s about what you and you alone can add to a group or bring to the table. There’s a feeling of having had to sustain an effort you now effortlessly soar away. If so, you’ve earned now being up where you belong, Libra.

In a nutshell: Venus retro isn’t all about delays and reversals. This week hands you an opportunity to make a positive move upwards. As well as the ability to make a different kind of move – effortless transcendence.

SCORPIO

Change up that dynamic

Know when to take action – and when to release

Only investments of the heart and soul continue

Pivotal status moves which revolve around at least one other party occur this week. Do push through any resistance you may have to stepping up into a leadership or more prominent role. Impostor syndrome has no place in your psychological lexicon this week.

Big retrograde energy may have been holding something up. We have Venus retro in your 10th. This is the house that doesn’t just rule your career, rewards and public image, but also your relationship status too. The Sun and retro Venus in here are engaged in a tug-of-war between Jupiter and Uranus in your 7th. So, you may be waiting for the other party to make their move. Or their intentions clear. That boss (present or prospective), that official, client, gatekeeper, decisions maker. And yes, even that romantic partner.

Know there’s nothing you can now do to push things ahead and you may be stuck playing the waiting game. Things start to shift around the 10th thanks to Mercury’s angle to Jupiter. Radio silence ends. Movement occurs.

But also there’s an alchemical shift happening within YOU, phoenix. You have been using this Venus retro energy to get very, very clear on the kind of outcome you want. Yes, you’ve been working on demolishing inner barriers between you and that key outcome. But also holding up those personal and professional ambitions and re-examining them. So, when the Sun meets retro Venus on the 13th and burns through retro stasis and uncertainty, as things move ahead you know for certain whether you are still in fact invested – heart and soul. You have your answer. And your total certainty about what’s right for you. That’s success in itself, Scorpio.

In a nutshell: If you know deep down you’ve done all you can do, then its now time to let go. And experience the power of change that comes from release. Often no more effort is required to bring about the transformation we were seeking. Make an investment of the heart and soul, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS

After work comes freedom

Love revisits

Game face on!

Do the work and then embrace the freedom! Being present, attending to what needs to be done and above all, attention to detail and mindfulness of the moment are setting you up for a breakthrough this week. And this despite the heavy Venus retro energy in your all-important 9th house, Sag!

The Sun is also in your 9th and along with that retroactive Venus intensifies their angle to ruler Jupiter (7th) and then Uranus (9th), in your day job 6th house. So, do take care of business on these dates, be open to initiating new ways of tackling stuff and don’t leave any loose ends. Procrastination is not your friend. If you can finish it, send it out, toss it or complete it, get it done. Just do the damn thing, Sag! Honestly, you will feel the energy around you lighten as you do. That frustrating wheel-spinning feeling starts to be replaced by a sense of movement again.

You may also have to work at creating the right impression at work or with someone whose opinion matters. Again, this can revolve around you showing you can get something done. Or simply being extra mindful about what you need to be bringing to the table to succeed. The 10th hands you all the tools you need to bring about that outcome you’re seeking. Your success star is on the rise thanks to the trine between Mercury in your 10th and ruler Jupiter. That work? So worth the result now.

But the real boost comes on the 13th when the Sun dispels all those shadows around love or what you love to do – at least temporarily. As it meets retro Venus in your 9th. If you are old enough, do think back to July-Sept 2015, July-Sept 2007 and July-Sept 1999. Why? Because these periods coincide with Venus retrograde in here in the past. Expect themes to repeat, love to be either revisited (literally as in places) or else released to make way for the new. Expect the past to make way for something bigger now. Love captures you again and takes you forward into something far more fitting this time around, Sag.

In a nutshell: If you can do it today, don’t put it off until tomorrow. The more tasks you crush, the more than sense of going nowhere is replaced by forward motion. Love takes you on a trip to the past. But perfected for the present. And yours for the future.

CAPRICORN

Direct your focus

Look to joy – not to loss

Find the heartbeat

Who’s afraid of the big, bad retro weather, Cappy? It’s pushing you towards a change this week. Do abandon yourself to the process. What you resist, persists.

The Venus retro in your 8th takes place as Pluto is in its endgame in your sign. So this truly is a soul call to transform. Perhaps your attitude towards transformation itself. This week holds the energy of the card of the 5 of Cups. It’s all about the focus if you like.

The Sun also in your 8th along with retro Venus squares both Jupiter (7th) and Uranus (9th) in your romance and pleasure zone. Take care not to over-focus on the past or what may be moving into the past for you. If we go back to the 5 of Cups for a moment, we see three cups on the ground, their contents spilled. But two remain upright. Yet the figure in the card is focussed on the empty cups.

Are you over-focussed on the negative and missing the joy that is still available to you? Or are you unwittingly increasing your suffering by desperately holding on to something that needs you to let go? By the 10th you’ll see positivity and also release take place. Options reveal themselves. You emerge shining and stronger. And also focussed on all you have – not what is behind you.

Change and rebirth follow. Yes, for some of you there may be a revival of something from your past as the Sun and retro Venus meet on the 13th. If there’s a heartbeat there, you’ll know it. If not, you now let go and soar, fiery and free towards all that potential that you now know awaits you. Yes, those cups are overflowing once more. All you had to do was see them, Cappy.

In a nutshell: Be mindful where you direct that focus. Glass totally empty? Glasses are designed to be refilled. It could be by focussing on lack or loss you’re missing all the good stuff that surrounds you. Shift that perspective back to what flows.

AQUARIUS

Is history repeating itself?

Opportunity reappears

Change direction for the better

Is herstory/history/theirstory repeating itself this week? Perhaps this is a theme which runs in your family history? It’s all very Shirley Bassey/Propellerheads repeating itself this week as retro Venus in its ruling 7th in your chart squares repeats a theme as it triggers ruler Uranus in your 4th (9th). This occurs just two days after the Sun also in your 7th performs the same manoeuvrer to Jupiter also in your 4th (7th).

It’s all just a little bit of history repeating. But the outcome doesn’t have to be the same this time around. You are in what should be your yearly love and partnership peak. But this time around its all about only repeating what works, Aquarius. Not what doesn’t. Venus cycles are longer than we imagine. A complete Venus cycle lasts eight years. So, take a history lesson and if you are old enough jump back to these dates when Venus was last retrograde in your 7th: July-Sept 2015, July-Sept 2007 and July-Sept 1999. What is repeating from any of these times?

Is anything repeating? Better yet – what have you learned from past relationships or cycles in love? The 10th brings you the opportunity to bring in self-directed positive change as Mercury in your 8th aligns to Jupiter. Did you know that in any given century, Venus can only retrograde in certain signs? That is so we are given so many chances to understand our needs around love and what we love. The universe offers us again and again, opportunities to escape history repeating if we no longer want it to!

Your love life or a key area of your life can change direction for the better as the Sun punches through retro-darkness showing you the way forward in a key union – or your potential for one in the future. This occurs on the 13th when it meets Venus. You replace confusion with clarity and the patterns of the past are laid out for you to see. Taking you towards a better future or outcome. If you choose not to allow history to repeat itself, Aquarius.

In a nutshell: History repeats but that doesn’t mean the outcome always has to be the same, Aquarius. You can choose to keep what works. And opt out of what doesn’t. This applies not just to love. But in all other areas.

PISCES

Are you on a 40 Day Love Fast?!

You won’t see things the same way from here on in

Get good love medicine

Spiritually, it is no coincidence that a Venus retrograde lasts for 40 days. In the Bible, God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. Jesus spent 40 days of temptation in the wilderness. Buddha spent 40 days fasting and meditating to achieve enlightenment. 40 days is the length of a spiritual journey towards transformation. That’s what you are on, Pisces during this Venus retrograde.

Yours revolves around the work you do, how you love and care for your body and in general, the love that does you good as opposed to one that causes pain or creates negativity in your life. So, this is a healing time for you. One that you can escape from into wholeness next month creating new, lasting and yes, healthy love outcomes once Venus is direct again and reaches your 7th.

This week brings not just a change of direction for you. But a change of mind and heart as well. The Sun remains in your 6th along with that Venus. It increases your desire to get to the bottom of something or brings you news which has you shifting your perspective or seeing things very differently as it squares Jupiter in your 3rd. While retro Venus also squares Uranus also in your 3rd. If you needed that final shift or piece of the puzzle – this is it.

The way forward opens up thanks to Mercury in your 7th opening a fresh path to Jupiter in Mercury’s house. It may not be your mind and/or heart that moves in a new direction, but someone else’s. They may be the one offering that healthier alternative. In love, life and work. You may make the choice together. This is also about your beliefs around having your heart’s desire. Whether you have settled for less than that because you have been led to believe it is not realistic or possible. Venus retro in here wants to first heal wounds around this. And then disabuse you of that notion. For good. You’ll see how ‘settling’ – be in with your job, your lifestyle, your choices, simply leads to unhappiness and a sense of living life in the shadows. You’re shown the way forward and out of any issues which keep you stuck on the 13th. Ahead – simply good for you love, Pisces.

In a nutshell: Think of Venus retrograde as a 40 Day Detox. From what simply does you no good at all, Pisces. If you are uncertain what that is, this week shows you the long term impact of a particular choice, situation or relationship. That’s a habit you’re done with now.
