Aries

New solutions to old problems release you

Right where you are is where you need to be

Follow insight to enhanced wellbeing

All the outer planets are retrograde now. Plus, we have the Sun, Mercury and Venus making a series of door-opening angles with every one of them but Saturn this week. What is this all about for you, Aries? Solutions.

These aren’t somewhere ‘out there’ in the big wide world, but can be discovered right where you are right now. How you earn your money, manage your resources and define success is undergoing a power shift and change. What began as restrictions now results in a permanent change in your perspective. Your world shifts and as it does, opportunities you simply could not see before shift into focus.

Move up, up and away!

Venus in your 4th opposes first Jupiter (25th) and then Pluto (30th) in your 10th. It moves to trine Neptune in your 12th on the 27th providing more inspiration and possibly shifting your perspective for good. Mercury in ruling sign of Virgo and your 6th trines Uranus in your 2nd (25th), Jupiter (29th) and opposes Neptune on the 20th. While on the 28th, the Sun will oppose Ceres in your 12th. Simply put, this reveals a way to solve a long-standing issue and move on up, up, up and away from it. But comes about simply by your shift in priorities.

You could contemplate a move or sea change. Or a move away from old ideas around what you once considered success to be. We can’t talk about your 6th house without touching on your work and also on the current health of the planet. So, don’t be surprised if this shift includes more emphasis on your wellbeing. Jupiter rules travel of course but right now, most of us aren’t going anywhere. Opportunities and solutions can be found right where you are Aries.

What you can imagine, you can make real

Neptune takes us to higher realms where we can imagine what we previously would have thought impossible for ourselves. The past months have given you plenty of time to draw down inspiration from Neptune’s space.

This week also sees Vesta in your 5th trine Chiron, object of the impossible, in your 1st. Traditional gender roles may also go out the window for you now especially when it comes to childcare and domestic duties. Again, it’s all about a change in perspective. What worked in the past may no longer be right for the world you’re in today, Aries. And what opportunity looks like right now very different to what you thought it would. And that’s good.

In a nutshell: Opportunities are hidden in plain sight. Right where you are and possibly under your nose. Time to make use of all the untapped potential that’s been concealed from you – until now.

 

Taurus

Get the attraction factor

Act on possibility

You know what you cannot live without

Ready to light up and also lighten up all at the same time, Taurus? How about aligning yourself with a higher cause or mission while you’re at it?

You’re feeling the need to expand, travel or learn this week. You want to reach for something bigger. Of course, actual physical travel is off the table for most of us right now. But how about traveling via your mind? Or your contacts where you co-create a new future together?

Potential gets real when you follow it

Potentials and possibilities swirl around you but it’s up to you to grasp them. Ruler Venus opposes Jupiter in its ruling 9th on the 25th. This could see news of an opportunity heading your way. It could also align you to a new group, cause or project that sees you dealing with larger groups of people and on a grand scale. Fancy a little world-changing right from the comfort of your home zone? You’ve the ability to do just that.

Decisions could revolve around your wants and needs. Your true north if you like. What you now know you cannot live without. Uranus in your 1st isn’t just re-working those soul values. But replacing them with new ones. When you come from this new position you attract back in kind thanks to the angle of magnetism also on the 25th between Uranus and Mercury in your 5th.

Friends make light work

Joining in with friends, aligning to that higher purpose and wanting to contribute something also go hand-in-hand with Venus’s trine to Neptune in your 11th. mercury and the Sun in your 5th is where the lightness of being really comes in. As part of that reimagined value system is not taking things too seriously. The more you let go of worries, the more you draw to you. Be in the moment now especially when it comes to love or just spending time with soul connections or doing what you love.

Certainly, if you have felt confined by too many responsibilities lately, Jupiter and your ruler are set to lighten the load and offer you a way out. The Venus/Pluto opposition on the 30th points to a transformation and you being able to transcend blocks to progress. You also have the Sun in your 5th opposing Ceres in your 11th putting a new spin on future progress. Don’t be afraid to suggest a radical re-shuffle of responsibilities on the domestic front as Vesta in your 4th trines Chiron in your 12th on the 30th.

Mercury’s opposition to Neptune on the 30th hands you fresh inspiration and ideas which send you exploring new possibilities. The adventure could begin right from the comfort of your couch. Or with the people you know this week, Taurus.

In a nutshell: One piece of news, a message or something you write, share or hear brings new possibilities into focus, Taurus. Let’s face it – the time for settling is over. Reach for the better option this week.

Gemini

Find your perfect place

Go directly to what you want

Ask away!

Steven Spielberg (born under your opposite sign of Sagittarius) is currently re-making the classic musical West Side Story. Start humming ‘There’s a place for us’ this week. That’s your anthem, Gemini.

Ruler Mercury along with the Sun is in your 4th of home, family and all matters security and sustainability. It’s one of those times to look at your foundation and what contributes to both your emotional and material sense of home, safety and yes – place.

There’s a place – and a solution

Opportunities to establish that sense of place or yes, sense of purpose (so closely linked), and the means to do this are promised by Venus in its ruling 2nd. This week sees is oppose Jupiter (25th) and Pluto (30th) in your ‘other’ money house and Pluto’s ruling 8th. Know your outcome and what you want to achieve. And especially don’t shy away from asking or putting your cards on the table.

Requests can and will be taken seriously now if you are very clear about what you want to take-away from the table. Venus trines Neptune in your status sector while ruler Mercury with trine Uranus (25th) and Jupiter (29th). Jupiter opens doors and in this instance this could be a literal one as in a new home, apartment or the door to that office. The Sun opposing Ceres also in your 10th speaks of deal-making.

Let the head translate what the heart tells you

The 30th has your ruler oppose Neptune in your 10th. Both are in their ruling signs so we say they are having a conversation to your benefit. Mercury dissolves any unrealistic aspects which Neptune can create with facts, figures and logic. Sometimes we need that to get to the heart of what we want – or need. Let the head speak for the heart this week when it comes to security and home matters. It will hand you that all important sense of place and belonging.

In a nutshell: When head and heart work together, the results are powerful decisions that build a better future for you, Gemini. The outcome? You ending up in exactly the right place – or space.

 

Cancer

Love transforms your world

Don’t dream it – live it

Go where imagination takes you

Let your love flow this week, Cancer. Venus remains in your 1st and makes some truly love enhancing aspects to Jupiter and Pluto in your 7th of partnerships. This is all about attraction and even with Pluto involved, this is an attraction or partnership which transforms you.

Jupiter always wants to big up everything. So, think big loves and this includes what you love to do or shine at. So, another way the love could make your world go round this week is via career opportunities too.

Dream on, Cancer!

Neptune can get a lot of bad press on occasion. This is due to its ability to lead us into escapism. But sometimes a little escapism is what we need. Exploring our inner world. Tapping into our imagination. These are necessary processes. The trick is not to merely dream but to take whatever steps are necessary to bring the dream into reality.

Venus trines Neptune in your 9th on the 27th. Sending you off on a journey into your imagination. Tap into inspiration, creativity and your capacity to dream. But to use this to best effect – don’t stay there. Bring your vision ‘down to earth’. You have help here thanks to the Sun and Mercury in your 3rd.

What do you need to do to make it real?

The Sun’s opposition to Ceres also in your 9th shows you what you have to compromise on to have the dream for real. Mercury in its ruling house, hands you the action or campaign plan. The steps you need to take or what you need to communicate, learn or do. Star-studded dates are the 25th when Mercury trines retro Uranus in its ruling 11th. Especially if you need to deal with large groups of people or tap into your social resources.

And also the 29th when Mercury trines Jupiter in your 7th which promises a great outcome from any kind of conversation involving you and another party. Daring to ask for something you would have shied away from before – that raise, order, contract, job or setting new rules around who does what in a relationship could just follow Vesta’s trine to Chiron in your 10th. That dream probably has you stepping into a bigger role all round. Don’t be afraid to ask for the part you know you are destined to play, Cancer.

In a nutshell: Love wants to expand your world. Or your understanding of it. It’s both alchemy and attraction at work this week. To active – start with a dream and then, act on it!

 

Leo

Go within to find the love you seek

Your dreams? Priceless

Values define your worth

Explore your inner worlds of creativity, beauty, imagination and dreaming this week, Leo. Think of your inner space as the art gallery of your imagination. What are you going to hang within it?

Prepare for love

Venus in your 12th wants you to imagine what you can be, have or do. Especially if this involves you and one other person. The end of this year will see you enter the Now Age of Aquarius. Which is of course your 7th house of long-term love and partnerships. So, call this preparation time.

Venus will oppose Jupiter (25th) and also Pluto (30th) in your 6th. So, we really can’t escape talking about your wellbeing here either. Especially with Mercury trineing Jupiter from your 2nd on the 29th. You have your dreams for a reason. Going after them boosts soul immunity. So, dream on, create and inoculate yourself on a wellbeing level as you go.

You’ll know what dreams you cannot give up on, and be realistic about this as Venus trines Neptune on the 27th and Mercury opposes it on the 30th. But if you see something needs to be released – you’ll do that too.

Changes around finances could put you in a better position and these may come about simply due to a shift in your value system. What really matters in other words. And the true cost or price of success. You won’t be willing to sell your soul or sacrifice those dreams as Mercury trines retro Uranus in your 10th also on the 25th.

Hold on to those dreams

You probably won’t have to either thanks to the opposition between your ruler the Sun also in your 2nd and Ceres in your ‘other’ money house on the 28th. Freedom may be your ultimate goal – and this includes freedom from worries or the freedom to pursue those dreams. Vesta in your sign opposes Chiron in your freedom blazing 9th also on the 30th. Don’t be afraid to strike out on a new, bold path to get to that dream now, Leo.

In a nutshell: Journey within to discover what your soul wants above all else, Leo. And once you realise its importance – don’t let go. It’s all part of preparing for a new kind of love this week.

 

Virgo

Reset those love expectations

Explore the rivers of attraction

If love makes the world go round, time to go for a spin!

Know what you want from love now and for the upcoming year, Virgo. Venus in your 11th of social contacts, friends, groups and ‘joining in’ is making a serious of love enhancing angles to Jupiter and Pluto in your 5th (25th and 30th).

Plus, it will trine Neptune in Venus’s ruling 7th on the 27th. Ruler Mercury trines Uranus (which rules your 11th but is in your 9th) on the 25th and then trines Jupiter on the 25th. It opposes Neptune on the 30th while the Sun opposes Ceres in your 7th on the 28th. It’s about past, present and yes, potential relationship opportunities in all their many forms.

Want a new deal on love?

What this all adds up to is a new deal on love, Virgo. Or a new arrangement between you and someone else. Singles should be ‘out there’ in whatever socially-distanced way they can imagine – remembering that your 11th, Uranus and Mercury your ruler all are connected to the internet.

Settleds could set new goals or a new set of priorities for together time with their partner. Perhaps a joint vision, adventure or lifestyle you want to commit to and achieve? A family, move, relocation or that joint dream that got shunted aside due to other priorities perhaps? It’s time to reclaim the people you once were as Vesta in your 12th trines Chiron in your 8th on the 30th.

Make relating your priority

All Virgos this week could be looking at giving love that extra special priority in their lives it deserves. Whether it is seeking it in a new form (and this includes business, collaborations or even the love of friends), or even showing some self-love. Know what you want from love this week. And don’t be afraid to ask for it.

In a nutshell: This week shows you that love is a river with many tributaries. You can explore more than one. But first you need to take the plunge and enter the flow – but joining in and connecting, Virgo.

 

Libra

Move into expansion

Release what no longer works

Opportunity knocks!

Let’s face it, Libra – issues around home, your apartment, your mortgage, rent, landlords, living arrangements, tenants, flatmates – all have been ‘heavy’ going these past 2.5 years.

Some of you may have down-sized during this time. And honestly not out of choice. You may have had to adapt and make the best of things where you are. Moving may have been difficult or again, you may have had to make big compromises in order to bring this about.

Expand into a larger life cycle

Blame Saturn which has been moving slowly through your 4th. The good news is it will exit here at the end of the year and won’t be back again for almost 30 years. The even better news? Well, even though it is still in residence but in retro-active phase, this week brings door opening opportunities to move forward again thanks to ruler Venus.

Venus remains in your 10th seeking to enhance your public and professional profile and rep. The 25th sees it oppose generous Jupiter in your 4th. It will then move on and oppose Pluto – ruler of transformation, re-birth and power moves on the 30th. Venus will also trine Neptune in your 6th on the 27th. This could bring about a better, healthier lifestyle or way of working and/or living.

The way things worked vs. the way they were

Mercury and the Sun remain in your 12th. Linking you to the past and the way things were. Or should I say – the way things work. What has worked for you and what hasn’t. Looking back at these themes is a natural part of the run up to our birthday. So, probe the depths and do this realistically. Don’t get caught up in sentimentality or even regrets now. Just be practical and pragmatic. Let go of anything you now see keeps you stuck in place. And be realistic about the way things are – not how you would like them to be.

Days to release and know you are making the right decision are the 25th when Mercury trines Uranus in your 8th. If it doesn’t chime with your soul values it no longer has a place in your future. The 28th sees the Sun in your 12th oppose Ceres in your 6th. If it no longer supports your wellbeing you’re not willing to compromise further.

Mercury and Neptune are in one another’s ruling houses in your chart – so, mutual reception by house. The 30th brings them to opposite sides of the table and open discussions. The same day sees Vesta in your 11th trine Chiron in your 7th. Only love that allows you to shine and be who you are will do now, Libra. Don’t be afraid to ditch anything that doesn’t.

In a nutshell: Move into something bigger as solutions to what restricts you present themselves this week. Release anything which no longer works for you, Libra. The old way of loving included.

 

Scorpio

The law of attraction rules in your favour

Star quality is your superpower

Be careful what you wish for!

Venus makes some of the most powerful aspects of attraction and pure, personal magnetism of the year for you this week, Scorpio. Who or what is it you want to attract?

Be careful what you wish for – you may get it as Venus opposes Jupiter in your 3rd on the 25th and then your ruler Pluto in here on the 30th. News, something you say, hear, communicate, write or share, changes everything. Venus will also send signals of enchantment across to Neptune in your 5th on the 27th. You exude glamour and other-worldly allure now. Think golden era Hollywood star quality. How do you intend to use this, Scorpio?

Glamour is your weapon of choice

Don’t waste it but have a plan. Especially if this involves putting yourself out there – via social media, the internet, your CV even or at a social distance. Unexpected opportunities around love could occur or beneficial meetings and contacts be made or revived as Mercury trines Uranus in your 7th from Uranus’s ruling 11th also on the 25th.

Be a magnet for your desires

New worlds or roles to explore around creativity, love or even parenting or working with the younger generation are also on offer thanks to the Sun opposing Ceres also in your 5th on the 28th. Time to immerse yourself in a bigger vision – perhaps shared by a group, party, band, union, association, following as Mercury opposes Neptune on the 30th. This is the same day as Vesta in your 10th trines Chiron in your 6th. You can work what you have to your advantage this week, Scorpio. Especially when it comes to what you attract.

In a nutshell: The Law of Attraction is yours to play with. So, this week be careful what you wish for! It (or they) may turn up. In surprising ways and where or when you least expect, Scorpio.

 

Sagittarius

Freedom begins from where you are

Make some much-needed home improvements

No more quick fixes – just lasting solutions

Despite ruler Jupiter’s legendary generosity and luck-generating influence, money matters have been hard work these past 2.5 years, Sag.

Get ready for open-handed solutions

The planet to blame is of course Saturn making you work harder for your cash. But also teaching you how to better use what you have. This week offers you the opportunity to make some much-needed financial improvements thanks to Venus which rules your bank account in your ‘other’ money house – your 8th.

It makes possibility one of the biggest and best cash-attracting angles to Jupiter on the 25th and another one to Pluto on the 30th. Venus wins here as it is in Pluto’s ruling house and Pluto is in Venus’s. So, think changes for the better. If you are looking at improvements now, understand these should not be frittered away but put towards feathering that nest Sag. Yes, I know under normal circumstances extra £££$$$ would be bank rolling your next trip or funding that adventure. But these aren’t normal times.

Where in the world do you want to call home?

How to have an adventure or experience the world differently right where you are – or want to hang your hat for the future, is where extra income needs to be channelled. Improving your home, living arrangements, perhaps thinking about upgrading will prove to be your best investments as Venus trines Neptune in your 4th and the Sun opposes Ceres also in your 4th on the 28th. Putting down roots equals freedom now.

Career matters and being very focussed on what you want or need to achieve are highlighted by Mercury and the Sun in your 10th. It’s time to do the work and in doing so, reap the rewards as Mercury trines Uranus on the 25th and Jupiter on the 29th.

Love always has to equal a certain amount of freedom for you. And you need a partner who embraces this philosophy. Expecting you to stay home and assume the role of domestic goddess or god, doesn’t sit right with you. So, understand all this focus on home doesn’t mean you give up those dreams of freedom. Negotiate if necessary or attract someone on the same page as Vesta in your 9th trines Chiron in your 5th.

This same day (30th) sees Mercury oppose Neptune. This is a ‘wherever you go, you author your own success story’ angle. And wherever you find yourself this week, is the right place from which to begin the journey, Sag.

In a nutshell: Freedom may look different to what you think it should this week, Sag. It begins with creating that base. It doesn’t mean giving up those dreams however. Create that launch pad.

 

Capricorn

Make passion your priority

Ensure love isn’t just talk but action too

Get a new outcome

Heady, exhilarating, freeing love – is there any other kind for you right now, Capricorn?

Yes, you are one of the hardest working and most pragmatic signs of the zodiac. And unfairly so many people see you as just that. But we all know you are also one of the most sensual and complex signs too. You want more from love now and what’s more – are in a position to attract or get it thanks to Venus in its ruling 7th opposing both Jupiter and Pluto in your 1st. Bringing about freedom and changes in how you relate to yourself – and one significant other.

Either they are now on this journey with you – or you have the ability to attract the one who wants to sign up. If single, they could look or appear radically different to lovers you have entertained in the past. Keep an open mind as Mercury trines retro Uranus in your 5th. Especially when it comes to not wanting to repeat past outcomes. In order to do that you have to choose different.

Love talk is cheap. Action is passion and intention

Ensure however that love isn’t just all talk but backs up what is said with action. We know that’s how you operate Capricorn. But you need to ensure the other party does the same. Venus will trine Neptune in your 3rd on the 27th. Love needs to live up to its promise.

Mercury’s trine to Jupiter in your 1st from Jupiter’s ruling 9th could bring you a big opportunity or stroke of luck. But you have to say ‘yes’ to it. Ensure others live up to their word too as Mercury opposes Neptune on the 30th. Vesta in your 8th and Chiron in your 4th tell you promises must come down to earth – and not to be afraid to insist on their delivery either.

And please, understand the difference between freedom and escapism. The Sun’s angle to Ceres also in your 3rd asks you keep it real and keep your word. And when it comes to love and its ability to free you, understand that another’s ability to follow through and keep theirs is the litmus test when it comes to it lasting.

In a nutshell: Love needs to be the motion that rocks your ocean – or your world. Don’t settle for the so-so variety. This also applies to doing what you love too, Capricorn. Take a passion centered approach this week.

 

Aquarius

Revisiting the past kick-starts the future

Choose your emotional investments wisely

Own your values

Take all the time you feel you need to explore, renovate and redecorate your inner space, Aquarius. I’m talking about deep soul work now. But doing this can literally re-boot your life and allow the flow of the new into it. In ways you may not yet be able to comprehend or imagine.

This week has Venus in your 6th of wellbeing, oppose both Jupiter and Pluto in your soul searching 12th. Venus will also trine Neptune which rules your 12th in Venus’s ruling 2nd. What is truly worth your love, focus, effort and soul investment – and what isn’t, will be highlighted as part of this.

Know you’re worth it

When you see which is which – you will know what to do. Mercury and the Sun remain in your power sector. Mercury will trine Uranus in your 4th and Jupiter in your 12th as well as oppose Neptune as the week unfolds. This is all about your own value system. Not your parent’s, families, partner’s. YOURS. Now, this could be one and the same. Or you could have seen you have inherited or taken on board a set of rules or values that simply don’t add up for you anymore.

Don’t be afraid to go by what seems right for you now. It could be time for a new way of operating or showing what is truly worth your time and love as the Sun opposes Ceres also in your money zone on the 28th. Vesta sits in your 7th and trines Chiron in your 3rd. Is it time to re-write the T&C’s around what you do or a key relationship?

All this adds up to you not being willing to undersell yourself either personally or professionally now. State your values this week. And spend all the time you need to determine just what these are now.

In a nutshell: The occasional deep dive into our own inner world sees us surface with pearls of wisdom. This week is no exception. You’ll see what has been worth your time and love. And what simply isn’t any longer.

 

Pisces

Love illuminates your future

Shine and attract in kind

Right place, right time, right where you are

We can’t not talk about love this week, Pisces. And if you thought 2020 had put even Cupid into lockdown, this week may show you he’s alive, well and firing arrows off in all directions.

Turn on the love lights!

Time to believe in the power of love once more with both your love houses lit up like Las Vegas. In fact, we can’t talk about love and your 5th house without bringing luck into it too. I am not talking about high-stakes, high roller poker but taking a chance – even at a social distance. Especially if doing this involves a love which evolves your soul.

There’s so many ways for you to attract or experience this but primarily, it all begins with you saying ‘yes’ to life or whatever is on offer. Venus opposition Jupiter in your 11th on the 25th speaks of a ‘lucky’ break as in right place, right time, right vibe and the right amount of charism and chutzpah on your part. Venus also dusts you in glamour and essence of romance as it aligns to ruler Neptune in your 1st on the 27th. How will you work that, Pisces?

Click and cosmically collect

Hopefully by connecting and accepting who or what comes your way. Mercury in your 7th trines Uranus in Mercury’s 3rd pointing to once piece of news which opens an unexpected conduit between you and another. The Sun also in your 7th shines on ceres in your 1st on the 28th while the next day sees Mercury trine Jupiter in your 11th. Who you meet, contact or communicate with has a major role to play in your future. Friends with benefits of more than one kind or friends in high places, meeting powerful, influential or a potential lover who is successful or well-to-do is the other possibility generated by Venus’s opposition to Pluto on the 30th.

Just ensure you don’t drag any feelings of not being ‘worthy’ into the equation now. Whether this revolves around worries of punching above your weight or imposter syndrome. Vesta’s trine to Chiron in your 2nd also on the 30th says time to ditch that as it does you no good. This day also has Mercury oppose Neptune your ruler. It tells you that what you believed to be unrealistic around love is in fact, very real indeed. Luck is a real force you can use this week, Pisces. Just say ‘yes’ to activate.

In a nutshell: Love is looking for new ways to enter your world, Pisces. And in new forms. So, just be open to how and where it appears. To connect to it, all you have to do is be open – and say ‘Yes’.

Four Tarot Cards Video

Tarot card one – Temperance

Focus on what needs balancing in your life this week. When we get to a point where we have inner harmony we can then achieve anything we desire. Is there a bad habit you need to ditch? Have you been working too hard and overlooking intimacy? Have you been self-soothing with alcohol or food? Remember, Temperance is a Major Arcana card. Major Arcana cards are the power cards in the deck. When you choose a Major Arcana card there is a deeper message than usual. In a way, it’s akin to going through an initiation. You are upping your game, evolving your soul, and leveling up. It’s time to let go of extremes and addiction, to find your balance and reclaim your power!

Tarot Card Two – 4 of Wands

Hey Wonderful One, you’re every inch the homebody this week. Home and family are on your mind and in your heart. Expect celebrations, joyous events, and good times! You might be thinking about moving or having a family get together. The 4 of Wands brings a sense of relief and newness to your home vibes. Finally, you can relax. resolve and reboot. It’s a time that boosts your security and helps you get hygge!

Tarot Card Three – 4 of Pentacles

Hey Beautiful Soul, you seem to have been going through a hard time recently. Perhaps you’ve been hurt or suffered from a shortage of finance or abundance? You’re urged to examine how well shutting down is working for you. Is it time to open up your heart again? The winds of wonder want to blow through you, the magic of life wants to be available to you. We have all been in those terrible times when we build a wall to protect ourselves. When we do block ourselves, we stop our energy moving. In effect, we imprison ourselves in the wound. It may be time to heal now and taste freedom again. It might be time to let your spirit do a little jig and get back on your soul path? My advice? Believe in possibility again, you deserve it!

Tarot Card Four – 8 of Pentacles

Work, work work! It might feel as if you’ve no time for anything other than hard graft! Yes, you are focused on your career or a project, but the good news is that you are heading for achievement. You’ve climbed higher than you know, you are becoming super skilled. Keep pushing forward and the rewards will come.

August 17th 2020 – Weekly Astrology Forecast

Weekly Astrology Forecast for All Signs August 17 2020
Aries

Let’s talk love and destiny

What does romance reveal?

A little self-care puts pleasure back on the agenda!

New beginnings and ah-ha revelations are promised by this week’s new Moon in your 5th. It trines both ruler Mars in your 1st and also carries a stamp of fate due to an angle to the North Node in your 3rd.

Just days before this, ruler Mars has you instigating something. Perhaps a conversation, launching a project, applying for a job or setting something in motion. Good news could flow back and forth thanks again to a trine between Mars and Mercury in your 5th at the start of the week.

Let’s talk love

The conversation could also flow around a lover – a past, present or potential partner. One who could make you a parent, step-parent or foster parent for instance. There’s also a sense of something coming to the surface. This could be around your own children, adult children, a desire to become a parent or the generations younger than you. Teenagers, perhaps those you teach or mentor even? The ah-ha part of this could stretch back two years or so. Think back to August 2018.

Or as the Nodes are in play this week, even further back for some. 19 years in fact to what was gestating or began. That creative venture, love affair, pregnancy? This new Moon could bring this all back but in a new way. If you were not old enough, then take it fate is at work in some way offering a lucky break brought to you by destiny.

Me time needs priority

Mercury enters its ruling 6th on the 20th and the Sun follows two days later. This is your house of wellness so please now, show that self-care and devotion. To yourself and to others. You cannot give back if you are running on empty. And with the good stuff going on you want to be feeling your best. Do what needs to be done to ensure this is what happens.

And strike that balance between your desire to do more and experience more and the very real need to unwind. Mercury’s opposition to Ceres in your 12th says follow your instincts on this. Beautiful solutions and divine down-time could go hand in hand with pleasure and love this week.

In a nutshell: Ruler Mars says ‘Don’t be shy’, Aries! We know that’s not your style anyway. But when it comes to conversations, don’t shy away from starting one. That includes that great opening line!

 

Taurus

Time to fly free

Take that big step

Say ‘Yes to passion

There’s a new you emerging this week, Taurus. One that is ditching that ‘heavy’ feeling of being weighed down with too much dull stuff. One whose fun side wants to go out, play and possibly dazzle at the same time. Ready to attract? What you radiate draws back to you in kind.

This week sees a powerful shift occur behind the scenes. I was going to say ‘behind closed doors’ as it could well be around home, family or living arrangements. It’s linked in some way to you taking a bold new step towards a braver, brilliant new you.

Begin to live a lot more

You have a new Moon appearing in its ruling 4th this week. It makes angles of bold new beginnings when it comes to your lifestyle with Mars in your 12th and the North Node in your 2nd. Just two days before this new Moon appears, we have a direction determining angle between Mars and Mercury also in your 4th. News or decisions may be taken now around career, your home, family, property or what unpins your security or even restricts your freedom.

Don’t shy away from important conversations with those you live with around this. As I said, this could involve you and family members or your partner. And the time is now. This is a new Moon which sets a fresh direction for so many of us due to its link to the Node. And Mars pushes us to act.

Get the ‘homework’ out of the way as Mercury and then the Sun enter your 5th of romance and fabulization. This is your house of attraction above all. Where you get to let go, party, play and pursue whatever ignites your passion (or should I say who?). It’s important you are not being weighed down by unfinished business. So, set yourself free to experience this.

Completion brings about new beginnings

The 23rd brings Mercury into opposition to Ceres, planet of compromises and also new days dawning. What new world can you negotiate into being this week, Taurus? Hopefully one where you shrug off cares and taking on too much responsibility and get to express yourself. Do the deal behind closed doors. Then launch yourself out into the world once again.

In a nutshell: Are you being weighed down by things you know you need to tackle, but keep putting off, Taurus? The longer you delay, the more you put off freedom, love and pleasure. Action is the best medicine.

 

Gemini

Words (and ideas) have wings

Love takes you back in time

Front of house? That’s you, Gemini

Ruler Mercury is in its ruling 3rd in your chart up until the 20th, Gemini. So, follow through on those ideas. And this week, take your message to the masses and accept any and all invites that come your way (social distancing rules notwithstanding).

Mars in your 11th doesn’t just ignite your social scene, but shows you a future path to blaze. The 17th brings a ‘start your engines’ angle between it and your ruler. Writing, speaking, texts, emails, your job, studying, that side hustle, Zoom meeting, interview, manuscript, thesis, CV or simply the interweb – it’s all about what you are putting ‘out there’. Your message, story, brand.

You may have just scraped the surface of this potential. This week says there is so much more to tap into. Highly creative energy simply swirls around you this week. With destiny driven new beginnings thrown in!

Love wants you to begin again

What you begin, initiate or even one piece of news, could send you down an exciting new path. All thanks to the new Moon in your 3rd on the 19th. This is especially significant for you as it activates the North Node at 27 degrees of Gemini. Check your chart to see if you have any factors within a two-degree orb of this. Or alternatively, within 25-29 degrees of Sagittarius your opposite sign.

If you were 18 or over 19 years ago, jump back in time like Jean Claude van Damme in Time Cop. The Nodes are our personal karmic time machines. Taking us back to revisit karma. Expect similar themes but combined with this new Moon, chances to begin again or second time opportunities.

The heart knows

Mercury and the Sun highlight property matters, family ties and living arrangements. Buying, selling, leasing and renting property. Stay or move decisions. Now is a good time to make long term decisions which build your sense of place, security and stability. But take your time in making them. The 4th is where our emotional wisdom lives. What we need to underpin our lives and that future you’re creating.

Time to seek out tranquility and appreciate what you have right where you are. Your best ideas are going to come to you if you unplug and spend time with what your feelings about what you have created for yourself so far tell you. Take all the time you need on this process. Mercury’s opposition to Ceres on the 23rd says you can’t hurry two things in life. One of them is love. The other is or should be your decision making process. It’s your schedule now, Gemini.

In a nutshell: Love has a plan for you, Gemini. You and another have signed up for this before. Past, present and potential loves feature this week. What you say or communicate, sets this in motion.

 

Cancer

Relate to what you have in fresh ways

If not now, then when?

Have the confidence to succeed

Time for a new relationship. Cancer. But this may not be the one that springs to mind immediately! I’m talking about the relationship you have with what you earn or own. Your money, possessions, assets and yes, your talents too.

Ready for a date with destiny?

There’s a lot of cosmic, karmic action happening in your money zone this week. And with Venus’s fabulizing effect as it makes over the outer you, you can also turn your attention to re-evaluating all you have to offer on the inside too. You’re reaching higher too when it comes to what you want to achieve.

Mars fires up ambition in your 10th – and the confidence to go for it. Push ahead with any career boosting or money-making activities now as Mars and Mercury which rules both communication and business, align in your favour on the 17th.

The value setting new Moon on the 19th is what truly tells you the price is right, Cancer. Time to look back at your financial his-or-her-story if you were managing your own money 19 years ago. Or if you were in unpaid work then, look at either your partner’s money story or what changed around you and your appreciation of your own assets.

Words weave spells. Use them to sell yourself

The new Moon’s alignment to Mars and also the North Node in made-for-business Gemini, says its not enough right now to be confident and enthusiastic. You need a strong set of values. And if you are intent on increasing that net worth, you cannot afford to undersell yourself, your talents or ideas. So, set your value system. And also, value what you have right now. As this determines your standard.

If you require help either with communicating what you have to offer more effectively, selling those ideas in – even via social media or that CV, you have assistance as Mercury arrives in its ruling 3rd on the 20th and the Sun two days later. Mercury in what is its ruling sign and ruling house, lends itself to work, systems, schedules and yes, that includes managing what you have more effectively.

Negotiating? Deals and bargains are on the table with win/win move between Mercury and Ceres in your 9th. This one is about opportunity and also freedom. Both parties can walk away feeling they have what they want. Come from value. Leave with that stock on the rise, Cancer.

In a nutshell: Value what you have – including yourself, and watch how the world reflects it. This week could see your stock on the rise. Words are your superpower. Use these to show what you’re worth.

 

Leo

Begin again with experience

Don’t over-think

S/he who jumps doesn’t miss the boat

Your extra special new Moon promises circle of destiny new beginnings this week. It’s the chance to close one karmic cycle and move forward into a new one.

Mars in your 9th is pushing you out of your usual comfort zone. And giving you the confidence to try. It aligns to Mercury on the 17th and this is all about your personal dreams, ideas and where you want to get to in the next 12 months.

The future sets sail – don’t miss the boat

The new Moon will trine Mars and sextile the North Node in your 11th. Remember, your 11th is where your future begins. The Nodes rule 19 year cycles and due to this being a new Moon it tells you a new and important one is beginning. Our future doesn’t happen in isolation so pay attention to who you meet and interact with too. Look back 19 years as this could bear similarities to something which began back then.

Above all, set your intentions and then jump in. Due to Mars this is a time of action – not over-thinking things.

A little self-belief sets the standard

Mercury leaves your sign on the 20th and ruler the Sun two days later. You’ll now be focused on money, your possessions, assets and the possibility of acquiring more. If you are involved in any kind of negotiating – say your salary, selling an hourly rate for your skills or the price for what you create or produce.

Or alternatively, asking for that loan, credit application, Mercury’s opposition to Ceres says there are fresh deals to be done now. It all comes down to self-belief. If you bank on yourself and that future, others just might invest too.

In a nutshell: This week doesn’t want you to over-think things. It wants you to come up with a desire or idea – then go for it. Jumping in or joining in is the key to an all -important start with destiny as your partner, Leo!

 

Virgo

Your success story – your way

What you focus on – you attract

Time to par-tay like it’s your birthday!

Happy birthday, Virgo! Ruler Mercury is in direct motion as your new cycle begins showing green lights when it comes to entering a fresh, new cycle.

Change sets the future in motion

It’s not just the next 12 months that is in motion now. But the next 19 years too. (No pressure, Virgo!). Change is in the air now thanks to Mars in its ruling 8th aligning to ruler Mercury in your 12th on the 17th. Time to think about what you want to experience, do and attract. And also to understand that what we focus on is what we draw to us.

So, as the new Moon appears in your mysterious 12th on the 19th, it’s time for some pre-birthday homework. To look at what you are thinking because this will determine what you attract. This new Moon places a big emphasis on the past and your karma. That is because it will trine Mars and sextile the North Node in your 10th.

Set a new standard for self-initiated success

Yes, that’s your success zone. Are you stuck in the past? Focused on what didn’t work for you as opposed to what did? Or, more radically, do you need to re-define what a success story is for yourself? Or has been?

Look back 19 years if you are old enough at what you set in motion and achieved. Is it time for a new mountain to climb? Don’t underestimate or dismiss what you have accomplished and due to the magnetism of the Moon/Mars/Karma angles, see results in terms of learning opportunities rather than success/failure.

Now you’re set. You’re going to notice a big difference in the coming year as heavyweight Saturn leaves your 5th of all things fabuloso. Until then, look at the commitments you are making to love.

That includes what you shine at and any fears around success or not being ‘good enough’. Your gift should be the surety that simply isn’t true for you. And you’ll be able to let others know this as Mercury opposes ceres in your 7th. That’s a new deal on (self) love. The first of many gifts heading your way, Virgo.

In a nutshell: The secret between what you focus on and what you attract is revealed. Call this a gift. Now you’ve unwrapped it you get to use it. All year long! So, focus on fresh starts and the new, birthday sign!

 

Libra

No more so-so loves

Head for the heat

Life is happening. You’re invited

Mars in your 7th always asks: Where’s the heat? This week asks where its to be found for your future?

Time to think big. And to ditch that tepid, so-so love or any other kind of experience. IF it doesn’t fire you up, it has no place coming forward with you into the future. Gravitate towards the fire that’s missing or strike a spark to create one. Being on the same page with friends, having something to be involved in and get excited about is part of this process as Mars trines to Mercury in your 11th.

Life’s a party. You have a VIP pass

Exciting invitations and sparky, stimulating connections can be made now. Your future rests with the people, networks, groups, clubs, bands and connections you form now. The new Moon in your 11th on the 19th says if not now – when? Especially when it comes to being fired up about your future.

It makes angles of ignition to Mars and also the North Node in your opportunity and freedom sector. What are you seeking? Or who? Fated encounters, friends with all kinds of benefits from help and assistance to yes, the possibility of being more than just friends, being part of something bigger, more exciting – all this is on offer with this new Moon. And more.

Be a joiner

But the thing is – you have to make the effort and join in. There’s no point in wanting this if all your social circle consists of is you, your couch, Ben & Jerry and that boxset. Even with current restrictions you can join in, connect and start talking about what it is you want, need or want to achieve. Mercury in your 12th says talk about those dreams, goals and visions you have been nurturing. They are part of feeling your best.

Work and routine get re-imagined to allow more time for what you want to do rather than have to so as Mercury opposes Ceres in its own ruing house of wellbeing and routine. The first deal on the table this week is the one you negotiate with yourself. The future of passion needs your commitment, Libra. Make the heat your priority.

In a nutshell: The heat is on this week, Libra. Or should I say back on for some of you? Settling for that so-so love or ‘It’ll do’ is no longer an option. To claim something better – be a joiner.

 

Scorpio

Burn like a flame but be as precise as a laser

Know what you want

Just know – nobody gets there alone

You may feel as if you can take on the world this week. Efforts could be rewarded as ancient ruler Mars trines Mercury in your 10th of recognition and status. Good news could arrive connected to your work or career.

However – don’t forget to breathe! Mars is in your house of health and wellbeing. You may feel you have energy to spare but if you rush burn-outs, mistakes and accidents can be your take-out. Yes, you have energy to spare but focus it, don’t scatter it.

Move on up

New beginnings which set your profile or status for the long term future arise from the new Moon in your 10th on the 19th. This is where consistent efforts and your determination pays off. This Moon strikes a blaze within Mars and also the North Node, that spinning point of fate and dragon fire, in Mars’s ruling 8th in your chart. This is a rebirth on some level and it relates to your professional path or your status.

Certainly, by the time Mercury (20th) and then the Sun (22nd) arrive in your 11th. you should have something new to talk about. Or those you know are seeing you in a fresh light based on the path you are now heading down. Finding yourself the object of desire is one outcome of Mercury’s opposition to Ceres in your 5th on the 23rd. Just know when it comes to dreams – nobody gets there alone. Find your dream team.

People don’t know what they want – until they see it

The rule: See and be seen also applies. This could be professionally or revolve around your talents or skills. Or personally as you become someone’s ‘must have’ potential squeeze. It’s a new deal and a new dawn. In a new world you’ve had a big hand in creating, Scorpio.

In a nutshell: Time to put yourself ‘out there’. And to understand nobody succeeds alone. We all need that dream team or cheer squad. Or simply contacts that can open doors. Be the next big thing everyone’s looking for, Scorpio.

 

Sagittarius

Past, present and potential loves feature

Dreams come with a return ticket

The adventure begins – right from where you are

If there’s one new Moon you love above all others – aside from the one that occurs during your birthday season that is, it’s this week’s in your 9th.

In fact, this week should offer you a replay of how things used to be. And how they will be again for you, Sag. Confinement and feeling restricted simply isn’t your jam. We all know this. Covid has clipped your wings. Plus, you have been dealing with heavy duty planetary weather in your money zone which is of course, what bankrolls that freedom.

Reignite the dream

Fiery Mars in your 5th is all about your creative life force, your passions. It’s trine to Mercury in your 9th on the 17th could just see news around themes relating to romance, travel (real or in the mind), learning, overseas connections, writing or the outdoors.

Stand by, because something which again could be related to one, some or any mixture of the above could be about to take you along a new path or down one which is unfamiliar but carries that return-trip vibe to it. The new Moon in your 9th is all about heading towards an opportunity which expands your horizons in some way. It will have a bigger effect and mark the start of a longer journey than usual due to its angles to both Mars and the North Node in your 7th.

Don’t go it alone

So, this could involve a past, present or potential travelling partner. A romantic, business, work, activity one or that very close friend. You’ve deep karmic ties and have gone on a similar journey before. Look back 19 years or even 38 if you are old enough. What journey began back then – real or metaphorical?

Mercury and the Sun arrive in your 10th on the 20th and 22nd. You will find yourself in the public eye in some way or dealing with important people. This journey could even be connected to your career, status or reputation. Or if you are not in paid work, that of your partner.

Mercury’s opposition to Ceres in your 4th on the 23rd points to a new base, home or lifestyle interwoven within this. Moving, real estate decisions, relocations and the corner of the earth which smiles at you have a role to play in this. Chart your course. Next stop – the stars.

In a nutshell: Cosmic tickets to ride are on offer. Especially for you and a travelling companion, Sag. You’ve been soul travelers before. Could be you’re about to embark on the biggest trip yet!

 

Capricorn

Move away from restriction

Solutions offer freedom

The meaning is all in the grand plan

You’ll feel a sense of freedom and lightness of being this week as Mercury and then the Sun land in your 9th of expansion and opportunity, Capricorn. It will help ease the very heavy weather patterns you have had to learn to work with in your 1st.

Search for meaning

Ahead of this, comes change. But don’t think this is unwelcome. All I can say is, it’s part of a grand design or plan the universe now has for you. You may find yourself asking: What’s the meaning of life?

The new Moon in your 8th trines Mars in your 4th and also the North Node in your 6th on the 19th. It’s one of the biggest opportunities you will have in a long time to close one karmic cycle for good and step free into a new one. This is Mars’s ruling house and think of this as a literal ‘move on’ or ‘move away’ from something which has had you stuck, held you back or which you thought you might never be free from.

Explore new worlds – of freedom and opportunity

Soar upward as Mercury (20th) and then the Sun (22nd) enter your 9th. This hands you the confidence to do anything you may have been putting off trying. It’s time to venture out into the world again – even if this is at a social distance.

Mercury’s opposition to Ceres, planet of new worlds and compromises, in Mercury’s ruling 3rd points to news or a solution that releases you once and for all. Work, writing, the internet – channel your newly reignited enthusiasm for life into these areas. This week says – time to start dreaming again.

In a nutshell: Could it just be that after all, life has a grand design mapped out for you, Capricorn? Let go and trust that all the pieces will fall into place. And solutions appear right when you need them.

 

Aquarius

If change is a person, what would it look like? You perhaps?!

Let’s talk passion

That’s the power of love!

Carve out time for love this week. And a little self-love too, Aquarius. As well as the new Moon in our 1st, the one that appears in our 7th, is another opportunity to undertake that make-over or fabulize ourselves anew. Especially if love and attraction is on our mind. It’s all a bit retro Huey Lewis and the News track.

Love is your superpower

First, you want to say something? You won’t hold back as Mars in your 3rd trines Mercury in your 7th on the 17th. Mars has you taking a confident, fearless approach to conversations. And with Mercury in your 7th and Mars in Merc’s ruling 3rd, this discussion could just as easily revolve around work and selling yourself in as it could around love. Your passion for the topic – be it what you offer either professionally or personally, is contagious and compelling.

You are unlikely to take no for an answer when it comes to relationships. This does not mean you are not willing to compromise however. But what you are not willing to do is sell out. The new Moon appears on the 19th and as it does, trines that Mars and sextiles the North Node in your 5th. Time for relaunch, to go after whatever it is you want, to begin something new and to create.

Look back 19 years if you are old enough. There’s a new opportunity to begin again. Especially when it comes to love. Not just the kind of love you now know you need, but have to give too.

Be the change you want to bring into being

Wielding the Power of Love also means embracing change or becoming the change you want to see now plays a role as Mercury and the Sun enter your 8th. That compromise without selling your soul is on the table thanks to the Mercury/Ceres opposition on the 23rd. Both your money houses are involved here. But this is also about your self-worth and values

This could involve your salary, what you share or is shared with you. From your employer to the government and even a sexual partner. It tells you that upgrades mean understanding you don’t have to sell-out to succeed. Or sell your soul to get what you want, Aquarius.

In a nutshell: New beginnings in love are possible this week, Aquarius. Romance could get a re-boot. Something may feel familiar but what’s changed? You. Older, wiser and with so much more to give. Don’t underestimate that power.

 

Pisces

Go for the slow burn in love and in soul matters

Do the work – claim the rewards

Re-boot that body!

Ready for a new deal on love? Of course, you are, Pisces! First – let’s get the practical stuff out of the way however.

Mars in your 2nd puts you in confident mood when it comes to your income. Take care however not to impulse buy. We do need to talk about wellbeing and protecting your greatest asset -your body.

Get a prescription for love

Burnout is a common problem with Mars in your money zone. Your desire for more of the folding stuff combined with a feeling nothing is impossible can see you making incredible inroads when it comes to your earning capacity. But leave you in an energy deficit.

You should however see rewards for extra efforts appear as Mars trines Mercury in what is its ruling 6th on the 17th. Once you have done what you set out to do, then know when to down-shift, kick back and enjoy your achievement.

Taking care of you over the long term needs to be your priority. It’s time to make you your priority as the new Moon appears in your 6th on the 19th. Self-care matters are always important under this new Moon. But all the more so in the time of Coronavirus. This new Moon hooks in the energy of Mars combined with the karmic cycle of the North Node in your 4th.

Feed your soul to free it

Downtime, nurturing, meditation, yoga, fuel for your body and soul immunity take on fresh significance. How you have approached these areas over the past 19 years (if you are old enough!) puts you either in credit or deficit with your body. If adjustments need to be made, see this as restoring your credit for the long term. And approach any wellness matters with this in mind. T’s not about quick fix solutions and dropping 8 kilos in 3 weeks. It’s about sustaining your body for the long term at its best.

Feeling your best is important when planets arrive in our 7th of partners and long-term love. Mercury arrives first on the 20th and the Sun two days later. Love or any close relationship is always the best medicine. New beginnings in existing partnerships are possible or love offers a new deal as Mercury opposes Ceres in your 1st on the 23rd. Wellbeing as your priority shouldn’t need a reason. But love just might be the best one there is Pisces.

In a nutshell: Your body is talking, Pisces. What’s it saying to you? It’s your gateway to love, pleasure and success. So, time to listen. Especially if you want to take advantage of fabulous new beginnings now.

Weekly Astrology Forecast for All Signs August 17 2020
Aries

Let’s talk love and destiny

What does romance reveal?

A little self-care puts pleasure back on the agenda!

New beginnings and ah-ha revelations are promised by this week’s new Moon in your 5th. It trines both ruler Mars in your 1st and also carries a stamp of fate due to an angle to the North Node in your 3rd.

Just days before this, ruler Mars has you instigating something. Perhaps a conversation, launching a project, applying for a job or setting something in motion. Good news could flow back and forth thanks again to a trine between Mars and Mercury in your 5th at the start of the week.

Let’s talk love

The conversation could also flow around a lover – a past, present or potential partner. One who could make you a parent, step-parent or foster parent for instance. There’s also a sense of something coming to the surface. This could be around your own children, adult children, a desire to become a parent or the generations younger than you. Teenagers, perhaps those you teach or mentor even? The ah-ha part of this could stretch back two years or so. Think back to August 2018.

Or as the Nodes are in play this week, even further back for some. 19 years in fact to what was gestating or began. That creative venture, love affair, pregnancy? This new Moon could bring this all back but in a new way. If you were not old enough, then take it fate is at work in some way offering a lucky break brought to you by destiny.

Me time needs priority

Mercury enters its ruling 6th on the 20th and the Sun follows two days later. This is your house of wellness so please now, show that self-care and devotion. To yourself and to others. You cannot give back if you are running on empty. And with the good stuff going on you want to be feeling your best. Do what needs to be done to ensure this is what happens.

And strike that balance between your desire to do more and experience more and the very real need to unwind. Mercury’s opposition to Ceres in your 12th says follow your instincts on this. Beautiful solutions and divine down-time could go hand in hand with pleasure and love this week.

In a nutshell: Ruler Mars says ‘Don’t be shy’, Aries! We know that’s not your style anyway. But when it comes to conversations, don’t shy away from starting one. That includes that great opening line!

 

Taurus

Time to fly free

Take that big step

Say ‘Yes to passion

There’s a new you emerging this week, Taurus. One that is ditching that ‘heavy’ feeling of being weighed down with too much dull stuff. One whose fun side wants to go out, play and possibly dazzle at the same time. Ready to attract? What you radiate draws back to you in kind.

This week sees a powerful shift occur behind the scenes. I was going to say ‘behind closed doors’ as it could well be around home, family or living arrangements. It’s linked in some way to you taking a bold new step towards a braver, brilliant new you.

Begin to live a lot more

You have a new Moon appearing in its ruling 4th this week. It makes angles of bold new beginnings when it comes to your lifestyle with Mars in your 12th and the North Node in your 2nd. Just two days before this new Moon appears, we have a direction determining angle between Mars and Mercury also in your 4th. News or decisions may be taken now around career, your home, family, property or what unpins your security or even restricts your freedom.

Don’t shy away from important conversations with those you live with around this. As I said, this could involve you and family members or your partner. And the time is now. This is a new Moon which sets a fresh direction for so many of us due to its link to the Node. And Mars pushes us to act.

Get the ‘homework’ out of the way as Mercury and then the Sun enter your 5th of romance and fabulization. This is your house of attraction above all. Where you get to let go, party, play and pursue whatever ignites your passion (or should I say who?). It’s important you are not being weighed down by unfinished business. So, set yourself free to experience this.

Completion brings about new beginnings

The 23rd brings Mercury into opposition to Ceres, planet of compromises and also new days dawning. What new world can you negotiate into being this week, Taurus? Hopefully one where you shrug off cares and taking on too much responsibility and get to express yourself. Do the deal behind closed doors. Then launch yourself out into the world once again.

In a nutshell: Are you being weighed down by things you know you need to tackle, but keep putting off, Taurus? The longer you delay, the more you put off freedom, love and pleasure. Action is the best medicine.

 

Gemini

Words (and ideas) have wings

Love takes you back in time

Front of house? That’s you, Gemini

Ruler Mercury is in its ruling 3rd in your chart up until the 20th, Gemini. So, follow through on those ideas. And this week, take your message to the masses and accept any and all invites that come your way (social distancing rules notwithstanding).

Mars in your 11th doesn’t just ignite your social scene, but shows you a future path to blaze. The 17th brings a ‘start your engines’ angle between it and your ruler. Writing, speaking, texts, emails, your job, studying, that side hustle, Zoom meeting, interview, manuscript, thesis, CV or simply the interweb – it’s all about what you are putting ‘out there’. Your message, story, brand.

You may have just scraped the surface of this potential. This week says there is so much more to tap into. Highly creative energy simply swirls around you this week. With destiny driven new beginnings thrown in!

Love wants you to begin again

What you begin, initiate or even one piece of news, could send you down an exciting new path. All thanks to the new Moon in your 3rd on the 19th. This is especially significant for you as it activates the North Node at 27 degrees of Gemini. Check your chart to see if you have any factors within a two-degree orb of this. Or alternatively, within 25-29 degrees of Sagittarius your opposite sign.

If you were 18 or over 19 years ago, jump back in time like Jean Claude van Damme in Time Cop. The Nodes are our personal karmic time machines. Taking us back to revisit karma. Expect similar themes but combined with this new Moon, chances to begin again or second time opportunities.

The heart knows

Mercury and the Sun highlight property matters, family ties and living arrangements. Buying, selling, leasing and renting property. Stay or move decisions. Now is a good time to make long term decisions which build your sense of place, security and stability. But take your time in making them. The 4th is where our emotional wisdom lives. What we need to underpin our lives and that future you’re creating.

Time to seek out tranquility and appreciate what you have right where you are. Your best ideas are going to come to you if you unplug and spend time with what your feelings about what you have created for yourself so far tell you. Take all the time you need on this process. Mercury’s opposition to Ceres on the 23rd says you can’t hurry two things in life. One of them is love. The other is or should be your decision making process. It’s your schedule now, Gemini.

In a nutshell: Love has a plan for you, Gemini. You and another have signed up for this before. Past, present and potential loves feature this week. What you say or communicate, sets this in motion.

 

Cancer

Relate to what you have in fresh ways

If not now, then when?

Have the confidence to succeed

Time for a new relationship. Cancer. But this may not be the one that springs to mind immediately! I’m talking about the relationship you have with what you earn or own. Your money, possessions, assets and yes, your talents too.

Ready for a date with destiny?

There’s a lot of cosmic, karmic action happening in your money zone this week. And with Venus’s fabulizing effect as it makes over the outer you, you can also turn your attention to re-evaluating all you have to offer on the inside too. You’re reaching higher too when it comes to what you want to achieve.

Mars fires up ambition in your 10th – and the confidence to go for it. Push ahead with any career boosting or money-making activities now as Mars and Mercury which rules both communication and business, align in your favour on the 17th.

The value setting new Moon on the 19th is what truly tells you the price is right, Cancer. Time to look back at your financial his-or-her-story if you were managing your own money 19 years ago. Or if you were in unpaid work then, look at either your partner’s money story or what changed around you and your appreciation of your own assets.

Words weave spells. Use them to sell yourself

The new Moon’s alignment to Mars and also the North Node in made-for-business Gemini, says its not enough right now to be confident and enthusiastic. You need a strong set of values. And if you are intent on increasing that net worth, you cannot afford to undersell yourself, your talents or ideas. So, set your value system. And also, value what you have right now. As this determines your standard.

If you require help either with communicating what you have to offer more effectively, selling those ideas in – even via social media or that CV, you have assistance as Mercury arrives in its ruling 3rd on the 20th and the Sun two days later. Mercury in what is its ruling sign and ruling house, lends itself to work, systems, schedules and yes, that includes managing what you have more effectively.

Negotiating? Deals and bargains are on the table with win/win move between Mercury and Ceres in your 9th. This one is about opportunity and also freedom. Both parties can walk away feeling they have what they want. Come from value. Leave with that stock on the rise, Cancer.

In a nutshell: Value what you have – including yourself, and watch how the world reflects it. This week could see your stock on the rise. Words are your superpower. Use these to show what you’re worth.

 

Leo

Begin again with experience

Don’t over-think

S/he who jumps doesn’t miss the boat

Your extra special new Moon promises circle of destiny new beginnings this week. It’s the chance to close one karmic cycle and move forward into a new one.

Mars in your 9th is pushing you out of your usual comfort zone. And giving you the confidence to try. It aligns to Mercury on the 17th and this is all about your personal dreams, ideas and where you want to get to in the next 12 months.

The future sets sail – don’t miss the boat

The new Moon will trine Mars and sextile the North Node in your 11th. Remember, your 11th is where your future begins. The Nodes rule 19 year cycles and due to this being a new Moon it tells you a new and important one is beginning. Our future doesn’t happen in isolation so pay attention to who you meet and interact with too. Look back 19 years as this could bear similarities to something which began back then.

Above all, set your intentions and then jump in. Due to Mars this is a time of action – not over-thinking things.

A little self-belief sets the standard

Mercury leaves your sign on the 20th and ruler the Sun two days later. You’ll now be focused on money, your possessions, assets and the possibility of acquiring more. If you are involved in any kind of negotiating – say your salary, selling an hourly rate for your skills or the price for what you create or produce.

Or alternatively, asking for that loan, credit application, Mercury’s opposition to Ceres says there are fresh deals to be done now. It all comes down to self-belief. If you bank on yourself and that future, others just might invest too.

In a nutshell: This week doesn’t want you to over-think things. It wants you to come up with a desire or idea – then go for it. Jumping in or joining in is the key to an all -important start with destiny as your partner, Leo!

 

Virgo

Your success story – your way

What you focus on – you attract

Time to par-tay like it’s your birthday!

Happy birthday, Virgo! Ruler Mercury is in direct motion as your new cycle begins showing green lights when it comes to entering a fresh, new cycle.

Change sets the future in motion

It’s not just the next 12 months that is in motion now. But the next 19 years too. (No pressure, Virgo!). Change is in the air now thanks to Mars in its ruling 8th aligning to ruler Mercury in your 12th on the 17th. Time to think about what you want to experience, do and attract. And also to understand that what we focus on is what we draw to us.

So, as the new Moon appears in your mysterious 12th on the 19th, it’s time for some pre-birthday homework. To look at what you are thinking because this will determine what you attract. This new Moon places a big emphasis on the past and your karma. That is because it will trine Mars and sextile the North Node in your 10th.

Set a new standard for self-initiated success

Yes, that’s your success zone. Are you stuck in the past? Focused on what didn’t work for you as opposed to what did? Or, more radically, do you need to re-define what a success story is for yourself? Or has been?

Look back 19 years if you are old enough at what you set in motion and achieved. Is it time for a new mountain to climb? Don’t underestimate or dismiss what you have accomplished and due to the magnetism of the Moon/Mars/Karma angles, see results in terms of learning opportunities rather than success/failure.

Now you’re set. You’re going to notice a big difference in the coming year as heavyweight Saturn leaves your 5th of all things fabuloso. Until then, look at the commitments you are making to love.

That includes what you shine at and any fears around success or not being ‘good enough’. Your gift should be the surety that simply isn’t true for you. And you’ll be able to let others know this as Mercury opposes ceres in your 7th. That’s a new deal on (self) love. The first of many gifts heading your way, Virgo.

In a nutshell: The secret between what you focus on and what you attract is revealed. Call this a gift. Now you’ve unwrapped it you get to use it. All year long! So, focus on fresh starts and the new, birthday sign!

 

Libra

No more so-so loves

Head for the heat

Life is happening. You’re invited

Mars in your 7th always asks: Where’s the heat? This week asks where its to be found for your future?

Time to think big. And to ditch that tepid, so-so love or any other kind of experience. IF it doesn’t fire you up, it has no place coming forward with you into the future. Gravitate towards the fire that’s missing or strike a spark to create one. Being on the same page with friends, having something to be involved in and get excited about is part of this process as Mars trines to Mercury in your 11th.

Life’s a party. You have a VIP pass

Exciting invitations and sparky, stimulating connections can be made now. Your future rests with the people, networks, groups, clubs, bands and connections you form now. The new Moon in your 11th on the 19th says if not now – when? Especially when it comes to being fired up about your future.

It makes angles of ignition to Mars and also the North Node in your opportunity and freedom sector. What are you seeking? Or who? Fated encounters, friends with all kinds of benefits from help and assistance to yes, the possibility of being more than just friends, being part of something bigger, more exciting – all this is on offer with this new Moon. And more.

Be a joiner

But the thing is – you have to make the effort and join in. There’s no point in wanting this if all your social circle consists of is you, your couch, Ben & Jerry and that boxset. Even with current restrictions you can join in, connect and start talking about what it is you want, need or want to achieve. Mercury in your 12th says talk about those dreams, goals and visions you have been nurturing. They are part of feeling your best.

Work and routine get re-imagined to allow more time for what you want to do rather than have to so as Mercury opposes Ceres in its own ruing house of wellbeing and routine. The first deal on the table this week is the one you negotiate with yourself. The future of passion needs your commitment, Libra. Make the heat your priority.

In a nutshell: The heat is on this week, Libra. Or should I say back on for some of you? Settling for that so-so love or ‘It’ll do’ is no longer an option. To claim something better – be a joiner.

 

Scorpio

Burn like a flame but be as precise as a laser

Know what you want

Just know – nobody gets there alone

You may feel as if you can take on the world this week. Efforts could be rewarded as ancient ruler Mars trines Mercury in your 10th of recognition and status. Good news could arrive connected to your work or career.

However – don’t forget to breathe! Mars is in your house of health and wellbeing. You may feel you have energy to spare but if you rush burn-outs, mistakes and accidents can be your take-out. Yes, you have energy to spare but focus it, don’t scatter it.

Move on up

New beginnings which set your profile or status for the long term future arise from the new Moon in your 10th on the 19th. This is where consistent efforts and your determination pays off. This Moon strikes a blaze within Mars and also the North Node, that spinning point of fate and dragon fire, in Mars’s ruling 8th in your chart. This is a rebirth on some level and it relates to your professional path or your status.

Certainly, by the time Mercury (20th) and then the Sun (22nd) arrive in your 11th. you should have something new to talk about. Or those you know are seeing you in a fresh light based on the path you are now heading down. Finding yourself the object of desire is one outcome of Mercury’s opposition to Ceres in your 5th on the 23rd. Just know when it comes to dreams – nobody gets there alone. Find your dream team.

People don’t know what they want – until they see it

The rule: See and be seen also applies. This could be professionally or revolve around your talents or skills. Or personally as you become someone’s ‘must have’ potential squeeze. It’s a new deal and a new dawn. In a new world you’ve had a big hand in creating, Scorpio.

In a nutshell: Time to put yourself ‘out there’. And to understand nobody succeeds alone. We all need that dream team or cheer squad. Or simply contacts that can open doors. Be the next big thing everyone’s looking for, Scorpio.

 

Sagittarius

Past, present and potential loves feature

Dreams come with a return ticket

The adventure begins – right from where you are

If there’s one new Moon you love above all others – aside from the one that occurs during your birthday season that is, it’s this week’s in your 9th.

In fact, this week should offer you a replay of how things used to be. And how they will be again for you, Sag. Confinement and feeling restricted simply isn’t your jam. We all know this. Covid has clipped your wings. Plus, you have been dealing with heavy duty planetary weather in your money zone which is of course, what bankrolls that freedom.

Reignite the dream

Fiery Mars in your 5th is all about your creative life force, your passions. It’s trine to Mercury in your 9th on the 17th could just see news around themes relating to romance, travel (real or in the mind), learning, overseas connections, writing or the outdoors.

Stand by, because something which again could be related to one, some or any mixture of the above could be about to take you along a new path or down one which is unfamiliar but carries that return-trip vibe to it. The new Moon in your 9th is all about heading towards an opportunity which expands your horizons in some way. It will have a bigger effect and mark the start of a longer journey than usual due to its angles to both Mars and the North Node in your 7th.

Don’t go it alone

So, this could involve a past, present or potential travelling partner. A romantic, business, work, activity one or that very close friend. You’ve deep karmic ties and have gone on a similar journey before. Look back 19 years or even 38 if you are old enough. What journey began back then – real or metaphorical?

Mercury and the Sun arrive in your 10th on the 20th and 22nd. You will find yourself in the public eye in some way or dealing with important people. This journey could even be connected to your career, status or reputation. Or if you are not in paid work, that of your partner.

Mercury’s opposition to Ceres in your 4th on the 23rd points to a new base, home or lifestyle interwoven within this. Moving, real estate decisions, relocations and the corner of the earth which smiles at you have a role to play in this. Chart your course. Next stop – the stars.

In a nutshell: Cosmic tickets to ride are on offer. Especially for you and a travelling companion, Sag. You’ve been soul travelers before. Could be you’re about to embark on the biggest trip yet!

 

Capricorn

Move away from restriction

Solutions offer freedom

The meaning is all in the grand plan

You’ll feel a sense of freedom and lightness of being this week as Mercury and then the Sun land in your 9th of expansion and opportunity, Capricorn. It will help ease the very heavy weather patterns you have had to learn to work with in your 1st.

Search for meaning

Ahead of this, comes change. But don’t think this is unwelcome. All I can say is, it’s part of a grand design or plan the universe now has for you. You may find yourself asking: What’s the meaning of life?

The new Moon in your 8th trines Mars in your 4th and also the North Node in your 6th on the 19th. It’s one of the biggest opportunities you will have in a long time to close one karmic cycle for good and step free into a new one. This is Mars’s ruling house and think of this as a literal ‘move on’ or ‘move away’ from something which has had you stuck, held you back or which you thought you might never be free from.

Explore new worlds – of freedom and opportunity

Soar upward as Mercury (20th) and then the Sun (22nd) enter your 9th. This hands you the confidence to do anything you may have been putting off trying. It’s time to venture out into the world again – even if this is at a social distance.

Mercury’s opposition to Ceres, planet of new worlds and compromises, in Mercury’s ruling 3rd points to news or a solution that releases you once and for all. Work, writing, the internet – channel your newly reignited enthusiasm for life into these areas. This week says – time to start dreaming again.

In a nutshell: Could it just be that after all, life has a grand design mapped out for you, Capricorn? Let go and trust that all the pieces will fall into place. And solutions appear right when you need them.

 

Aquarius

If change is a person, what would it look like? You perhaps?!

Let’s talk passion

That’s the power of love!

Carve out time for love this week. And a little self-love too, Aquarius. As well as the new Moon in our 1st, the one that appears in our 7th, is another opportunity to undertake that make-over or fabulize ourselves anew. Especially if love and attraction is on our mind. It’s all a bit retro Huey Lewis and the News track.

Love is your superpower

First, you want to say something? You won’t hold back as Mars in your 3rd trines Mercury in your 7th on the 17th. Mars has you taking a confident, fearless approach to conversations. And with Mercury in your 7th and Mars in Merc’s ruling 3rd, this discussion could just as easily revolve around work and selling yourself in as it could around love. Your passion for the topic – be it what you offer either professionally or personally, is contagious and compelling.

You are unlikely to take no for an answer when it comes to relationships. This does not mean you are not willing to compromise however. But what you are not willing to do is sell out. The new Moon appears on the 19th and as it does, trines that Mars and sextiles the North Node in your 5th. Time for relaunch, to go after whatever it is you want, to begin something new and to create.

Look back 19 years if you are old enough. There’s a new opportunity to begin again. Especially when it comes to love. Not just the kind of love you now know you need, but have to give too.

Be the change you want to bring into being

Wielding the Power of Love also means embracing change or becoming the change you want to see now plays a role as Mercury and the Sun enter your 8th. That compromise without selling your soul is on the table thanks to the Mercury/Ceres opposition on the 23rd. Both your money houses are involved here. But this is also about your self-worth and values

This could involve your salary, what you share or is shared with you. From your employer to the government and even a sexual partner. It tells you that upgrades mean understanding you don’t have to sell-out to succeed. Or sell your soul to get what you want, Aquarius.

In a nutshell: New beginnings in love are possible this week, Aquarius. Romance could get a re-boot. Something may feel familiar but what’s changed? You. Older, wiser and with so much more to give. Don’t underestimate that power.

 

Pisces

Go for the slow burn in love and in soul matters

Do the work – claim the rewards

Re-boot that body!

Ready for a new deal on love? Of course, you are, Pisces! First – let’s get the practical stuff out of the way however.

Mars in your 2nd puts you in confident mood when it comes to your income. Take care however not to impulse buy. We do need to talk about wellbeing and protecting your greatest asset -your body.

Get a prescription for love

Burnout is a common problem with Mars in your money zone. Your desire for more of the folding stuff combined with a feeling nothing is impossible can see you making incredible inroads when it comes to your earning capacity. But leave you in an energy deficit.

You should however see rewards for extra efforts appear as Mars trines Mercury in what is its ruling 6th on the 17th. Once you have done what you set out to do, then know when to down-shift, kick back and enjoy your achievement.

Taking care of you over the long term needs to be your priority. It’s time to make you your priority as the new Moon appears in your 6th on the 19th. Self-care matters are always important under this new Moon. But all the more so in the time of Coronavirus. This new Moon hooks in the energy of Mars combined with the karmic cycle of the North Node in your 4th.

Feed your soul to free it

Downtime, nurturing, meditation, yoga, fuel for your body and soul immunity take on fresh significance. How you have approached these areas over the past 19 years (if you are old enough!) puts you either in credit or deficit with your body. If adjustments need to be made, see this as restoring your credit for the long term. And approach any wellness matters with this in mind. T’s not about quick fix solutions and dropping 8 kilos in 3 weeks. It’s about sustaining your body for the long term at its best.

Feeling your best is important when planets arrive in our 7th of partners and long-term love. Mercury arrives first on the 20th and the Sun two days later. Love or any close relationship is always the best medicine. New beginnings in existing partnerships are possible or love offers a new deal as Mercury opposes Ceres in your 1st on the 23rd. Wellbeing as your priority shouldn’t need a reason. But love just might be the best one there is Pisces.

In a nutshell: Your body is talking, Pisces. What’s it saying to you? It’s your gateway to love, pleasure and success. So, time to listen. Especially if you want to take advantage of fabulous new beginnings now.

Weekly Astrology Forecast For All Signs August 10 2020 – Power struggles

Weekly Astrology Forecast For All Signs August 10 2020

By our astrologer Elena

Aries

Write your own leading role

Break out of being typecast

Get a new deal on relating

Hold tight to those values this week, Aries. Especially that deep inner knowing around what you’re worth. Time to show others you are no lightweight but a force to be reckoned with!

Uranus retrograde in your money zone truly wants you to stand by those values. What you will and won’t ‘sell out’ for. Vesta’s entry into your 5th points to how you are perceived and seen in terms of your gender. Especially when it comes to love and also as this is your house of children, who does what when it comes to childrearing.

As your 5th also rules creativity and this includes ‘performing’ – is it time to look at whether you’re being typecast? Be it personally, professionally or merely down to your gender?

Being a class act takes courage

The 13th hands us a tense angle between ruler Mars in your sign and Pluto in your 10th of status and career. Again, this relates back to what I am saying about you being ‘typecast’ on some level. You may need to assert yourself now if someone insists on keeping you confined or pigeon-holed. Especially if you didn’t choose this for yourself. Lucky for you if you can keep your head and your cool, solutions present themselves just days later.

The Sun in your 5th angles to your ruler handing you searing self-confidence and the ability to act or seek out better solutions to any issues right now. The next day (16th) sees Venus in your 4th of home and emotional security make a deeply inspiring angle to Ceres in your 12th.

Why is this so important? Well, in mythology, Ceres was Pluto’s mother-in-law. This is deep, intuitive and also balanced love-fueled change. One that can see you get a new deal for yourself around love or any relationship be it home, work or pleasure based. Underselling yourself? Allowing others to go on underestimating you? Not likely this week, Aries.

In a nutshell: It’s a week to show others you won’t be typecast or underestimated. You can’t confine lightning to a bottle. Or tell a tiger it’s a poodle either. Time to be who you are – not who others tell you to be, Aries.

 

Taurus

Get ahead of change

Strike a new deal between what you want to do vs duty calls

A bit like fellow earth-sign Virgo you appreciate the beauty of future planning. But even more a long range weather forecast that allows for just that. That’s what astrology is, Taurus. Your soul weather forecast. This week the weather blows in a direction you may not seen coming. But is designed to carry you towards freedom. Getting there may involve the word you don’t like however – change. But having your forecast means you’re prepared for any eventuality.

Domestic deity or life of the party?

Ruler Venus is in your 3rd and trines Ceres in your 11th on the 16th, while Vesta enters your 4th on the 12th. On the one hand we have domestic duty and on the other, a need to circulate and socialise. The 16th also has Uranus, that electrifying planet of excitement and ruler of your 11th, turn backwards in your 1st and surprisingly enough (Uranus rules surprises btw!), this could see you in the mood to shake things up. Uranus always wants to free us from something. And with Mars now in your 12th you may not have realised just how stuck you were until it angles to Pluto in your freedom zone on the 13th.

Put evolution in your diary

Take it that people will show their true colours this week. And you’ll know whether they are Team Taurus or not. And what to do about it once the Sun highlights Mars from your 4th on the 15th. If things have become confining, this week tells you to get up and shake up the status quo. Uranus in your 1st wants you to evolve and this week hands the tools to make that possible. Watch for similar weather on Oct 9 and Dec 20. Now, plan accordingly, Taurus.

In a nutshell: It’s not that you are adverse to change. It’s just that you’d like a heads-up before it happens. Astrology is here to give you that. So, be prepared by knowing the dates designed to evolve your soul in advance!

 

Gemini

Know when (and how) to say no

Change the dialogue to change the deal

How you value yourself determines how you are valued in turn

Someone may attempt to step over the line this week. And you may be called on to show them how confident (and nicely) you can tell them to step back. So, let’s look at your way with words and also your friends, groups, clubs, associations, bands, teams, unions and extended social networks both virtual and real, and how they may feature in this.

Vesta in your 3rd is all about crafting something – possibly behind the scenes in some way and perhaps not getting the acknowledgement you deserve. Being taken for granted or even someone else trying to take credit for your hard work is another Vesta in your 3rd scenario. Have you been working as hard as you can to keep things running smoothly? Or to make someone else look good? If so, this could be the area where the ‘N’ word needs to come in.

Good boundaries make for good buddies

Another possibility is simply saying no to someone’s demands. Or a Ludacris ‘Get back!’ which cannot be misinterpreted. Don’t knock this or shy away from saying it if needed. ‘No’ often gets us respect instead of being seen as the Welcome mat to dump on. This week sees Mars in your social sector square Pluto in its ruling 8th. And please don’t forget – before Pluto was discovered this was Mars’s ruling house in your chart too. Someone may simply need to be reminded where the boundaries are, that’s all.

Stick or olive branch?

You may not see this coming due to Uranus retrograde in your 12th. However, if you need to renegotiate or mend fences, Venus in its ruling 2nd trines Ceres in your house of public perception, rewards and recognition. Venus rules diplomacy and balance. Ceres rules compromise and deals. So, you have the stick if you need it. And also, the olive branch too this week, Gemini. Use whichever one the occasion warrants.

And bear in mind with Vesta and the Sun in your 3rd, that sometimes all we need to do to get the deal we want is change the language in which we ask for it. Your way with words means you’ll know which ones to use this week.

In a nutshell: Sometimes we just have to draw a line. Or let someone know they have stepped over it, Gemini. Don’t be afraid to say ‘Get back’ if someone crosses a boundary. No can be the most empowering word we have.

 

Cancer

Cancel the sour with that sweet Cancerian love

Take a time out then don’t put off that conversation

Friends provide a much needed outlet

Your sensitivity skillset may be needed this week, Cancer. And even for you this may be a reach at times. People may simply appear to be going out of their way to push your buttons. Even your nearest and most favourite squeeze. You may need to count to more than three before responding to keep your cool. But hey, if anyone can, it’s you Cancer.

Venus strives for harmony and win/win solutions. So, remember this and that Venus is now in your 1st as the week unfolds. The 16th sees Venus and Ceres in peace-loving Pisces and your 9th, make some higher, diplomatic ties and bring about compromises is things have gone awry.

Countdown to cool

Vesta enters Venus’s ruling 2nd on the 12th. For some of you what’s causing the friction may be something unequal around pay or what you are expected to do. The emotionally heated square between Mars in your 10th of career and status and Pluto in your partnership zone on the 13th is the real source of that snarkiness however. This could just as easily concern your boss as it could your boo. And as this is your house of open enemies, that person who you love to loathe.

If you feel things are about to explode – count to 48 if you can. And by that I mean 48 hours. If the energy in a one to one connection needs to shift, focus on friendships or networks. Give both of you a break and then come back, kiss and make-up.

Don’t put off that must-have talk

However, taking breathing space is very different to withdrawing entirely. We all know how you get when your feelings are hurt, Cancer. Please don’t sit in your shell and silently seethe over hurts real or imagined. Cool down and then come back and tackle things head on. Be honest about how you feel and own that these are your responses. Be open to the fact the other party may not have meant it to be taken that way. If you don’t deal with it, you are setting yourself up for trouble later in the year.

The 15th eases the tension as the Sun trines Mars. Uranus retrogrades from the 16th in its ruling sign offering outlets via others or even the odd innovative idea to restore balance to your love force. While the 16th brings that peacemaking Venus/Ceres flow. You should have your equilibrium back by now. Press reset and restore the love.

In a nutshell: Keeping your cool, even with the one you love, may test your reserves of sweet patience this week, Cancer. Friends could provide a respite. But don’t put off that make-up conversation.

 

Leo

Pop up solutions appear to problems that won’t go away

Just because you can keep going doesn’t mean you should

Breakthroughs happen when you hold on

Dealing with someone or something that simply won’t go away. You may feel you are playing Whack a Mole. As in you think an issue is done or dusted and then it pops back up again. The good news – because this is still your birthday season and what other kind do you need now? – is that this week offers the solution you’ve been looking for.

Hold on for one more day – or two

Vesta enters your 1st on the 12th. It’s asking you what have you been sustaining in a very Wilson Phillips kind of way. Hum along and as the song tells you: Hold on for one more day. The Mars/Pluto square on the 13th could very well bring things to a head. But this needs to happen now.

Get a new exit strategy for that round and round issue

Unlike other signs you have your ruler the Sun in your 1st. So, if an issue peaks now the 15th has your ruler trine Mars in your 9th shining on the solution or way out in other words. Not everyone has your advantage now, Leo!

Uranus joins the other slow-moving outer planets in the retro theme party from the 16th in your career sector so look at ways to innovate which leverage what you’ve achieved to date. It is also the planet of innovation. If you have been playing dodge with that mole – it could hand you a novel way to finally knock it on the head.

Get back on the same page

Venus in your sector of higher love and inspiration trines Ceres in your house of everything shared and transformation. So, your solution could literally re-write the terms of an agreement between you and another, promise a solution or simply see you transcend that ‘unsolvable’ deadlock. Just hold on, Leo!

In a nutshell: Stuck in a spin-cycle? Can’t see a way out? Open up to new ways to stop the merry-go-round when it comes to an issue. There’s a higher path opening up that can benefit you both, Leo.

 

Virgo

The truth has a lasting glow

The love revolution is calling

Remake the universe in time for your new cycle

Dip into inner knowledge when it comes to problem solving this week. And know synchronicity and smarts work together, Virgo. Sure, answers may not exactly make sense. But it’s the results that speak for themselves.

Wait for your moment

Vesta along with the Sun in your 12th is all about eternal flames and also glimmers of truth. It’s about waiting, watching and only acting when the moment is right. Mars is the ancient ruler of your 8th house, Pluto is the modern one.

This week has Mars in your 8th square Pluto in your 5th. Think Plutonium. The stuff that re-makes matter on an atomic level. Your 8th rules life, death, rebirth, our desires and yes, sex. Shared money too. So, expect a shake up around one, some or a mixture of these. A shake up that re-makes your world.

Remake your universe

This could involve lovers, children, babies and young people. It could literally make the earth move under your feet. I’m not saying this is a bad thing. As soon as it occurs – watch how things settle as the Sun in your 12th then trines Mars. Again, showing you the truth behind those shifts and changes.

Uranus always wants to free us into new evolutionary experiences and love. Especially in your 9th and especially retrograde when it is as its most powerful. Which it is from the 15th. Again, you may quickly see something for what it really is – an opportunity in disguise.

Get some new togetherness

New beginnings in love could follow as Venus in your 11th trines Ceres in your partnership sector. If you meet someone new you could feel as if there is a new kind of potential in the relationship you may not have encountered before. Settleds could just discover that the couple who finds time to play, stays together. Sometimes we have to begin again to create something better. This is one of the weeks to do just that, Virgo. Don’t just reawaken love. Remake it again in a new image.

In a nutshell: Let go of facts and go with your feelings. It doesn’t have to make sense – only the results do. This week turns that feeling into facts you can believe, Virgo.

 

Libra

Do a new deal on love

Plus one is your new superpower

Values set your future

Changes to the T&C’s between you and someone else are inevitable this week, Libra. So, just accept this and deal with it. The more universal your outlook the easier this will be. Especially if what springs from this is a new phase or beginning.

Embrace people power

Vesta’s entry into your 11th could put the focus on a specific group of friends or others you are involved with having a shared experience. You all feel the same way and don’t be surprised if one of the changes that takes place is actually via a movement or people power.

Soul values are love building blocks

On a more personal note however, Mars in your 7th either heats things up or brings them to boiling point. Which one is it? This could involve someone you live with, work with or for as the square between it and Pluto in your 4th on the 13th says there is tension and a way out of an impasse has to be found.

The engines of change are churning away in your 16th and the solution you come up with around this is going to depend in a large part on your own value system. What you are prepared to give up and what you will not let go of at any price. This is down to Uranus retrograde from the 16th in that other Venus ruled sign Taurus and your 8th. This is the inevitable part of it all.

Here comes the Sun easing either you out of the situation or pointing to a new way forward as it trines Mars from your 11th on the 15th. Ruler Venus always wants you to move on up in your 10th. It’s angle to Ceres in your house of responsibility and wellbeing points to a compromise both parties can live with. But only if you don’t end up feeling you’ve lost something irreplaceable. Like your soul for instance. Know the difference between selling out and cashing in this week, Libra.

In a nutshell: Time for a new kind of win/win, Libra. You always strike for compromise and balance. This week says some new T&C’s may be needed. Don’t be afraid to suggest them – in the name of love of course!

 

Scorpio

Give a little to get more

Be cool

Self-control is the only control you really have

Both your rulers ancient and modern are tightly entangled this week and as a result – something’s gotta give, Scorpio! The energy can point you towards a peak experience or achievement. Or it can just explode and then leave you with fallout to clear up. You want a life, not a half-life so if in doubt, delay. And keep in the forefront of your mind that sometimes a temporary withdrawal is your best strategy.

Vesta enters your 10th of status and achievement on the 12th. For some of you, what is getting you all fired up may be around a great big issue to do with authority or an authority figure. And how you are being treated or perceived. You need a cool head if taking on anything to do with ‘the system’ or even your boss or that ‘difficult’ client this week. Stick to the facts. And keep anger and emotion out of any of these areas.

Be Cool

Something someone says or news you hear may literally ‘make you see red’ as Mars and Pluto square one another on the 13th. Both your rulers are about power and control. Who has the real power? The person who remains in control of their emotions or their responses. That’s you. Tap into your inner depths if someone or something makes you angry. It’s so cool down there despite both your rulers being linked to the underworld. This is your chill factor, Scorpio. And let me tell you, if you tap into it – you’re a force to be reckoned with.

The Sun’s wonderful trine to Mars from your 10th on the 15th lightens the mood. Just watch for the Uranus retro in your partnership sector from the 16th. Your needs are changing in what you require from any kind of partnership. If this is the case, be open about them.

Venus rules your 7th but is actually in your 9th. Intent on smoothing things over and adding a loving spoonful to anything to do with home and security. It trines Ceres in your 5th of love, sweet love on the 16th. Something’s gotta give but now give and take returns! This can bring about peace and love can rule again. Keep your cool this week, Scorpio. Even if others are losing theirs!

In a nutshell: Sometimes we need to give a little. And end up getting a whole lot more in return. Something’s got to give this week, Scorpio. Make sure your giving comes from the heart.

 

Sagittarius

Hold those values

Only the brave win the love

Time for no-fear freedom

It would be all too easy to say any ructions this week are about your money. Sure, this may feature on some level, Sag. But really, if you want to go deep into the heart of the matter, it’s all about your self-worth and the value you put on that freedom.

Let’s talk about Mars presently in your 5th. It rules passion, confidence and action. It needs an outlet. Now, in your 5th of lovers this should give you a big clue as how you can channel Mars. This is also the house of things you love to do as opposed to who. Hobbies, pastimes, the talents you feel you must express – those are your 5th house. In your 2nd, we have alongside ruler Jupiter, Pluto. Pluto rules power money. Billionaires. Banks. Hidden assets. Plutocrats.

Ditch self-doubt

It also rules our fears. And here’s where we’re back to self-worth. Feeling we are not ‘good enough’. Worthy. Settling for what is on offer rather than what we deserve because deep down we feel if we don’t take what’s on the table, we’ll end up with nothing at all. Sure, we all have to make compromises. But we can make one too many. And if we do this, what we end up with is simply dissatisfaction and a feeling of worthlessness. Uranus in your 6th has you looking at the long term implications of too much compromise. It’s retrograde this week could just have you saying: Enough’s enough.

Free your soul

So, take the option that reflects self-worth or satisfies your soul without compromising on your values, Sag. And remember, freedom is your most important one. This week’s square between Mars and Pluto could see you not willing to settle any more. And remember, if Mars’ energy can’t make love it goes in the other direction!

The Sun remains in your freedom sector and it makes a reignite the fire angle to Mars on the 15th. Venus which rules your 2nd house, your bank account, love life and yes, your values, trines Ceres this week – and you’re home free.

In a nutshell: It’s braveheart week, Sag! This week isn’t for sissies. Hold on to what you value the most. And ditch any fears about not being good enough. Only the brave win that all important freedom in love.

 

Capricorn

Share that experience

Crush those love goals

Keep the bliss!

You’ve worked so hard at accessing that deeper level of love, Capricorn. Understanding your needs and also coming from a place of truly wanting to know what makes the other person tick.

How deep is your love?

You’ve opened yourself up to levels of relatedness you probably didn’t think existed prior to Pluto and you ruler Saturn joining forces in your sign together. You’ve not been afraid of peeling back the layers of grungy residue that may have been between you and the kind of connection you now know you need.

The thing about you is that when you do the work, you know how good it feels. And you want to share your discoveries and the benefits with those you care about. That’s your generous nature which so many astrologers overlook.

But what if the other party hasn’t had the same experience? Perhaps they are just not ready to go as deep, Capricorn? Your laid-back good nature and capacity for tolerance may be tested this week as a result when Mars in your 4th (where it is NOT a happy house-guest) makes a tense angle to Pluto in your 1st.

Domestic disorder may follow as could another kind of upheaval – that on the professional or work from. You do have resources to fall back on. Most notably, Venus in its ruling 7th in your chart trineing Ceres planet of compromises in your 3rd of communication. But the other party needs to meet you half way at the very least due to Uranus heading backwards in your 5th.

Breathing is the new winning

Take a deep breath and reschedule any important discussions if you feel you’re in danger of losing your cool in any situation. This is also not a good week to ‘butt heads’ with anyone in a position of authority. Believe me, all that will happen is you stagger away nursing a sore one! Vesta in your 8th from the 12th is all about knowing where you actually do have the power. And how to use it to your advantage. While a change-making and deadlock-breaking angle between the Sun in your 8th and Mars on the 15th could ease those tensions.

The upshot of the week? If you have evolved and grown, not everyone you love will have kept up. Try a little tolerance, Capricorn. It’s better to be happy and well than be right. That’s the best take-out your deep dive into your soul can have given you.

In a nutshell: You may be the poster child for the love evolution, Capricorn. But not everyone has grown along with you. Growth means tolerance when we are tested. But talk puts you back on the same wavelength.

 

Aquarius

Hey, Johnny. What you rebellin’ against?

What you got?

If ever lines from a movie summed up you this week, Aquarius, if would be these from the 1953 classic The Wild One starring the immortal Marlon Brando as the eponymous protagonist Johnny.

You are after all, the sign of the rebel, the maverick, the individual. You are the rebel and the wild one but unlike the above quote – you need a cause. A vision. Otherwise, let’s face it, Aquarius. You have so many better things to focus on than scattering that energy on an unworthy cause!

First, ruler Uranus throws a U-turn in your 4th on the 16th. Look to matters close to home – buying, selling, renting, leasing property. Your family, flatmate, landlord, Airbnb guests. Reshuffles, relocations, sudden moves or even yes, thinking you are moving then finding no, you are staying put. Moving off the grid, radical relocations, upheavals and uprootings. That sense of place is being disrupted but this is all for a reason. To make you more grounded and secure. And to find your base.

Prepare for a revolutionary shift

Unexpected news may dominate the week and also see you want to jump in and direct the course of events. That is down to Mars in your 3rd squaring up against Pluto in your 12th. Now, Pluto represents power and Capricorn and your 12th the people at the top. Mars in its ruling sign of Aries is all about individual action and assertiveness. So, yes. You may be rebelling against something. Perhaps even a big issue in the big wide world and may feel the need to take a stand against ‘the man’ as they used to say in the ‘60’s. Especially with Vesta now in your 7th this week.

Don’t over-think love

Just ensure when it comes to your one to one relationships however, that babies are not being thrown out with the bathwater. And that you can agree to disagree. That’s the ‘What you got?’ aspect to all this. Looking for something to rebel against. Venus in your 6th should be about feeling rather than thinking. It doesn’t have to make sense or conform to a mental check-list. It just has to feel right.

Go with the heart not the head and look at what’s right not what’s wrong as Venus aligns with Ceres in Venus’s ruling 2nd on the 16th if you want solutions.

Other factors helping you are the Sun’s magnificent trine from your 7th to Mars on the 15th. Communication and passion can flow again between you and someone close to you. And you may now see you were on the same page after all. If you do need to rebel this week, make sure your revolution is in the name of love.

In a nutshell: You may be leading the Now Age revolution, Aquarius. But ensure that what you rebel against is a worthy cause. Sometimes stopping in the name of love is the biggest revolution of all.

 

Pisces

Focus and devotion bring wholeness and wellbeing

Colour within the lines

Love and other opportunities appear out of the blue

Focus. Devotion. Clarity. Those are words which come to mind when we think about Vesta in your 6th. It’s the house of duty, responsibility and routine. Vesta also represents playing by the rules. That have been set by someone else.

This week – play by the rules

Now, we can’t escape talking about Covid and current restrictions if we are talking about anything to do with your 6th house. As this is your house of health and wellbeing. You have the Sun in here too which is great. And Mercury which rules your 6th is also very much direct at the moment. Also good. But with the tension between Mars in your 2nd and Pluto in your 11th of social contacts and the collective, this is not a week to rebel against any rules or restrictions in place.

Broadcast those love values

Show the world how much you value yourself and others by keeping within the current guidelines. You are one of the few signs who may in fact find this week highly rewarding while the rest of the zodiac are off engaged in some kind of massive cosmic snark-fest. Do let them get on with it, Pisces. Stick to the rules, don’t rock the boat and the two gorgeous trines that follow the Mars/Pluto head-to-head on the 13th could deliver work and/or feelgood benefits. Thanks to the Sun trine Mars on the 15th and Venus trine Ceres in your 1st on the 16th.

In fact, where others can only see No Entry signs appearing, you simply see green lights and opportunities to improve things for yourself – and those you care about. Love could be found in unusual places as could that next big idea thanks to Uranus heading backwards in your 3rd. You’ve got a fresh spin on the world this week, Pisces. Hopefully by next week the rest of us will be seeing things from your perspective. Until then – enjoy visionary status. And keep the focus!

In a nutshell: Hey, goody two-shoes! This week playing by the rules is the way to win. In pretty well every area, Pisces. Where others see restrictions, you see opportunities. So, play it safe to win, Pisces.

Weekly Astrology Forecast for All Signs August 3rd 2020

By our astrologer Elena

Aries

Get ready to time travel!

Devotion to that dream pays dividends

Your efforts have not gone unnoticed

This week hands you a subtle kind of energy, Aries. It’s all down to two days of major cosmic activity in your chart. And it’s all about past efforts catching up with you in the future!

A significant phase could be peaking now and this could have a major impact on how others see you. Recognition, reputation and regard – especially when it comes to how the world at large sees you, are big themes now.

See how you fit into the big picture

Your first red letter day is the 3rd when the full Moon in your 11th shines on your future path and how far you have come. Not only that, it spotlights those who have been on the journey with you. Friends, contacts, groups, bands, clubs, associations and the collective. In the Moon’s ruling 4th we have Mercury opposing retro Saturn in your 10th. On the 3rd Mercury meets Vesta, the object of devotion, and willingness to defer later gratification, while Vesta itself opposes Saturn on the 6th.

Saturn also rules timing don’t forget and in its ruling sign/house in your chart, its influence is doubled. As can be its capacity to reward for sticking to your path. In other words, holding that vision, keeping the flame of your dreams alive, and above all – doing the work without seeking shortcuts.

Travel back to the future

What manifests this week could have been a long time in coming to fruition. The Nodes are time machines in our charts. Again, linked to karma. Think of yourself as Marty McFly – minus the Delorean. Good news day or the arrival of something which lightens your load could occur as Venus meets the North Node in Mercury’s 3rd on the 5th. The same day as Mercury shifts into your 5th of shining luck.

By the time Venus enters your 4th on the 7th, you could be embracing a fresh sense of satisfaction and can kick back and enjoy all you’ve achieved. Like the energy that surrounds you, all the effort you’ve been putting in may not have been obvious to others. But the results certainly will be.

In a nutshell: Rewards for long term efforts, or simply staying true to that vision, goal or dream, could appear this week. And in a way that makes others sit up and take notice, Aries!

 

Taurus

Decisions put you in a new path

You need better than the current status quo

Let in more love

Decisions that could be connected to a cycle that began 19 years ago could launch you into a brand new one this week, Taurus. And if something comes full circle now it will be a milestone that marks the start of a new long-term cycle of growth.

This weeks’ full Moon in your status setting 10th puts you, your career or your achievements to date very much in the public eye. Or front of house when it comes to impressing opinion makers. So, act like you mean business, Taurus. Because if you don’t take yourself seriously, then who will?

Get ready to launch

The hardest task we can face when it comes to making that impression is to accurately assess how we come across. Whether you are aware of it or not, you are in the public ‘eye’ in some way now. This can simply be your boss working out if you are the Right Stuff for that promotion or the world in general. You don’t want to be seen as a lightweight now or as someone who doesn’t deliver. If you are unsure, ask someone you trust about what you project.

How you look also plays a role when your 10th is involved and also when the ruler of your 10th (Saturn) is in play. Again, if you are seeking a new role or promotion, do you look the part? It’s the message you bring and you as the messenger that forms the killer combo others can’t refuse. Especially when Mercury in its ruling 3rd on the 3rd opposes Saturn in your zone of opportunity.

Werk it like you own it

This day also sees Mercury meet Vesta and Vesta itself will oppose Saturn on the 6th. Self-assurance and yes, feeling and looking like you have already stepped into the role you envision for yourself, is your secret to success magic now.

Mercury in your 4th enhances any dealings to do with home, property and living arrangements. Or which touch on them. Such as your career for instance. Mercury rules contracts, agreements and commerce. The same day as Mercury moves in to your 4th sees ruler Venus in its ruling 2nd, meet the North Node. Where you want to be living, with whom and how feature as this is your money house. This brings that cycle full circle that I spoke about.

Take your future seriously

You may find yourself making long term decisions this week which define your future with regards to work, money and love. This could have been a long time in the making. But there’s something new for your future cooking as Venus arrives in your 3rd on the 7th. Feel a lightness, playful and joy around you even as you look at the new future you’re creating. Above all, don’t procrastinate on decisions this week, Taurus. Your future needs to be taken seriously. As do you.

In a nutshell: This week calls for some long-term thinking, Taurus. And knowing what you deserve to have in terms of love and recognition. Don’t put off that decision. Action leads to lightening up now.

 

Gemini

No more retroactive blues

Share your vision with others

Travel a new path towards freedom

Ditch the dulls! Feel the joy again, Gemini. Ruler Mercury is in sparkling form this week. Yes, it’s free of retro shadow blues. And is pushing you in the direction of freedom and opportunity. The nest news that only your ruler can bring – this vibe is going to be with you all month long.

Lighten up!

Sure, it’s Leo’s birthday season. But the start of August may make you feel like you’ve got a second one scheduled. Life lightens up and lustre is restored. You may also reconnect to optimism and faith in your dreams. The full Moon in your 9th is all about your future, the people you know and a new direction which springs from your larger social circle, group or contacts.

The day of the full Moon also sees ruler Mercury in your 2nd oppose Saturn in your ‘other’ money house – your 8th. Mercury also meets Vesta and Vesta itself opposes Saturn on the 6th. Are you in fact worth more than what you’ve been ‘settling’ for so far?

There’s a need to address this now. You’ll easily get your point across as on the 5th, Mercury enters its ruling 3rd. This is the day when Venus meets the North Node in your 1st. Look back in 19 year increments if you are old enough to events which had a direct impact on your self-worth, your money or how you were treated and valued by others. This is a chance to re-set the scales if needed.

Expectation and your ability to attract

You can come from a place of freshly minted self-worth and appreciation as Venus arrives in its ruling 2nd following its close encounter with the North Node. You may be looking back to move forward now. Especially when it comes to money – and also love. No more ‘settling’ in other words, Gemini. Money talks and so do you this week.

In a nutshell: Get ready for progress and lighten up this week. Up those expectations. Doors to opportunity could open via those you know, Gemini. No more settling when it comes to those expectations.

 

Cancer

What is shed makes room for something new

Love needs a new role

Recast the past and reframe the future

You are another sign who is going to feel as if it is their birthday all over again this week, Cancer. Those Geminis next door are embracing a feeling of lightness and much needed release from restrictions. For you, there’s a soul rebirth happening now which could see you transcending limitations. And also feeling brand new, freshly minted and ready for something new.

Fly free

When your ruler the Moon is full, it tugs you on a deep soul level. In your 8th, this is asking for a shift. You to shed an old self like a butterfly sheds a chrysalis. So, as it appears in your 8th on the 3rd think: shed, shed, shed.

This day also has Mercury meet Vesta in your 1st while Mercury opposes Saturn in your 7th. You’re in the final stages or even days, of a key stage in your relationship with someone. This does not necessarily mean an ending so don’t panic! You could be taking things to the next stage or entering a new, long term partnership with someone. Be it professional or hearts beating as one, you do need to ensure that all is equal moving forward however. Vesta in your 1st isn’t about relaying outdated roles even in long term unions. And certainly not in new ones.

The now you determines your future

There’s a fabulous opportunity arriving courtesy of Venus and the North Node in your 12th. The Nodes link us to the past. Or even themes repeating in family karma. The 5th sees Venus meet the North Node perhaps bringing someone or a situation from your past full circle. Jump into your time machine, floor the gas to 88 mph and go back in 19-year increments if you are old enough for clues.

The difference this time around however is you. That shedding is all about not accepting the same old, same old just because it feels familiar. Feeling as if this week is a fresh start goes hand in hand with this as Mercury moves into your 2nd on the 5th letting you know you can attract what want. While Venus arrives in your sign on the 7th intent on showing you that you can cast yourself in whatever role you want for the future.

Glam up for love

The planets represent archetypal energy. Call this cosmic force if you like. Depending on where they are and the angle they make to our natal planets, these are triggered. So, the energy of Venus in your 1st is all about glamour, beauty and love. Time to embody this. And to shed anything that just doesn’t reflect that, Cancer.

In a nutshell: Inner changes call on you to ensure the outer you is equally fab, Cancer. Shed anything this week that is no longer in alignment to how you feel. In doing so, you’ll make room for what reflects that new attitude to self-worth and love!

 

Leo

No more complications around love

Clear out the old to make room for the new

Destiny determines the path you take

Time to look seriously at what you want from love in the coming year Leo. We are not yet at the new Moon in your 1st which is when your new cycle will begin. That occurs later this month. This week however brings you a full Moon in your 7th of long-term loves, marriage and double acts of all descriptions.

Love needs passion, purpose and smooth sailing

One person may feature in all of this. Perhaps even acting as a mirror to show you what it is you need. Although your birthday season is well under way, you are in fact, still heavily engaged in sorting out what you bring forward with you and what you leave in the past. Stick with this process this week as Mercury in your 12th meets Vesta and opposes Saturn in your sector of wellbeing the day this Moon appears.

You need sustaining, soul-supporting love to fuel you heart and soul now. The 5th could show you just what this does and doesn’t look like. Mercury arrives in your sign on this day while Venus meets the North Node in your 11th. You could hear from someone from long ago and a galaxy or at the very least, a life far far away. Or events strike a familiar chord with you. Avoid at all costs any situation in love that replays an ‘It’s complicated’ theme tune.

Go the distance when it comes to devotion

You need openness, devotion and above all, shared sovereignty for love to work for the long term, Leo. Vesta opposing Saturn in your 6th on the 6th reminds you of that. The 7th sees Venus enter your 12th. This can put love in a magical space for you, reconnect you to a lost love or the flipside is you allow yourself to be caught up with promises you hope rather than believe, the other party intends to keep.

All this reflection on love tells you that you need more than dreams and wishful thinking when it comes to any kind of partnership or long-term connection. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted, Leo?

In a nutshell: Get ready for self-discovery and fate. There’s a touch of timing and magic around love this week, Leo. Look to who or what you’re taking with you into a new cycle. Ensure it measures up now.

 

Virgo

Destiny serves up synchronicity

Put yourself back in the flow

Love enters a new age

Think about the words ‘synchronised’ and ‘synchronicity’. You’re in sync in so many ways this week, Virgo. In fact, once the Sun hits your sign later this month you are set to show the world that what it needs now is a lot more Virgo type love. The pristine, pure and devoted kind.

In Sync

Ditch those out-dated astro labels like ‘picky’. You are synchronised and in the flow. Your inner wisdom is feeding you what I can only describe as sophisticated intuition that is telling you of what you need to do when it comes to your wellbeing at the time of the full Moon on the 3rd. This appears in your house of all things Virgo ruled – your 6th. Looking closely at your diet and how you support yourself mind, body and soul will occupy you.

Feed your soul

The term ‘soul food’ can mean so much. Yes, it’s a cuisine but it also encompasses anything which feeds our souls. Music, being with people who accept us, expressing our creativity, immersing ourselves in something we love to do, a painting by a great artist, being by the ocean – all these feed our souls. As do our goals.

Ruler Mercury is busy this week asking you who supports your dreams or helps you towards them. It could also deliver unusual or fated encounters or an opportunity. Especially as it opposes Saturn and aligns to Vesta. Love could come with a significant age difference – plus or minus 7 years or more for instance. But if this is a meeting of hearts and minds – who cares?

Commit to your purpose

That’s the point where being in sync turns into amazing synchronicities. Especially when Mercury enters your 12th on the 5th. The same day as Venus meets the North Node in your 10th. This could realign you to your purpose or dare I say it – a love across the ages.

What boosts your soul immunity and feeds your soul could be the company you keep as Venus arrives in your 11th on the 7th. Connecting you to friends, groups or larger networks. This is usually about the love of friends but with Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn all still in your 5th, this could turn into so much more. Give it time this week, Virgo. And let synchronicity work its magic.

In a nutshell: Soul food and synchronicity combine to deliver the perfect recipe this week, Virgo. Especially when it comes to love or what supports you. Let destiny connect you to the flow.

 

Libra

Weave a little creative love magic

Take a chance

Get ready for a re-start

A full Moon in our 5th often hands us that feeling we are simply in the divine flow of things. Synchronicities or feel-good experiences go hand-in-hand with this full Moon on the 3rd. It’s a great full Moon for a date night – even if this is just via Zoom or going for a socially distanced walk. It’s also fantastic for doing anything you love and putting the finishing touches to creative ventures.

Let’s dance!

Take a chance under this full Moon as it appears in your house of luck. By that I don’t mean blowing your weekly pay on scratchies. But being willing to take a heart-centered gamble perhaps on your own dreams or abilities. This could involve going for something you’ve thought about or dreamed of for some time.

You could be weighing this up as Mercury opposes Saturn in your 4th – the long term pros and cons. How confident you feel doing this? Especially if this means acting in a more empowered way than you have done for yourself lately. Mercury’s meeting of Vesta is asking you how you feel about this.

Reawaken the dream

Ruler Venus however is telling you it’s time to step into something bigger. Now, this could very well be linked to your past. If you are old enough, jump back 19 years. Or further back still in 19 -year increments. Because what is happening now could reflect similar themes or bring something full circle as Venus meets the North Node in your house of opportunity, freedom and expansion.

This could touch on people and places overseas – even if you are not going anywhere due to current restrictions. Big ideas and dreams. The mass media. Higher learning. Wide open spaces, sports and large animals especially horses. But anything larger than a sheep basically. This is both the law of karma and the law of attraction in action.

So, watch what or who returns perhaps in new form. Perhaps the last time you had these themes occurring you simply were not ready for them on a soul level. Even if this was something you truly desired. Now you are.

It’s showtime!

Your future could now be tied to those you know or who you are connected to as Mercury heads into your 11th from the 5th. So watch closely who is in touch now. Venus is about to give your professional and public image a major boost from the 7th as it arrives in your status-setting 10th. You are set to impress now. I said you were ready this week, Libra. So, step into some big Jimmy Choos. The future is set on a higher path.

In a nutshell: Ruler Venus is set to remove a few restrictions and put you on course for freedom on some level. Take it old themes get re-worked to release you into something new. Love looms large, Libra.

Scorpio

Access all areas when it comes to those emotions

Let others in

Work that worth

An emotionally stirring full Moon appears in its ruling 4th this week on the 3rd, Scorpio. Your sensitivity is increased. Across psychic and intuitive abilities (heed your gut!) and also your vulnerabilities (don’t run from them).

In your softness lies your strength

Nesting, cocooning, home comforts and feeling safe and nurtured are common under this kind of full Moon. We may withdraw and actively want to spend time at home and with those we feel understand and support us. Or we may want to have some much-needed ‘me’ time and simply unplug for a few hours or even a day. This full Moon says don’t resist these impulses.

But at the same time, don’t compensate for any feelings of vulnerability by comfort eating or hiding what you really feel either. It’s easy under this full Moon to become over-sensitive. If this occurs, before reaching for that chocolate, ask yourself why you’re not allowing yourself to feel what you feel? And know what you are feeling is okay.

Take down emotional barriers

If this has been triggered by someone else -or even if it’s just arisen on its own – the why not share it instead? Try the ‘I know I may be over-sensitive right now’ lead in to this. The thing is, people will want to listen if you are willing to share. And don’t be surprised if someone wants to suddenly open up to you under this Moon as well.

The result could be you simply feeling a lot more confident and secure with your connections. ‘In your vulnerability lies your strength’. A subtle and powerful change is in the air this week which could allow you to transcend old fears and blocks to progress which have been around for far too long. The Mercury/Vesta in your 9th opposition to Saturn in your 3rd this week wants you to see that you are more capable than you have given yourself credit for in the past. Despite those wonky feelings!

Build on those choices

Mercury is on the move into Saturn’s ruling 10th on the 5th so selling those smarts more effectively should get a lot easier. The long-term changes however occur in your 8th when Venus meets the North Node in here also on the 5th. The Nodes rule time travelling themes and karma. Jump back 19 years if you are old enough and see what occurred back then that enabled you to attain a new sense of empowerment.

This could see the same themes re-visit you. Especially around your money. Venus rules this of course and flies free in your 9th from the 7th. Freedom begins within this week. First by seeing that being unafraid to be vulnerable makes you strong. And second by knowing that often we don’t solve issues – we simply soar away from them. That’s your strength and your superpower this week, Scorpio.

In a nutshell: Need ‘me’ time? This week’s full Moon says go with your gut when it comes to those needs. But don’t keep those feelings under wraps. Being open strengthens those ties. And brings you closer.

 

Sagittarius

Keep an open mind on what you hear

Wait to respond

Love takes on a fated quality

Don’t judge news that arrives under this week’s full Moon in your 3rd on face value. Wait two days and try to delay responding if you can. We all know full Moons stir us up emotionally. So, there may be a tendency to over-react or even misinterpret all together, what you are hearing, Sag.

Feelings are not facts

All lunar transits are fleeting. Even full Moons. Because it rules our emotional perspective, we can confuse feelings with facts. This Moon is in your 3rd of communication, writing, speaking and the internet. What you feel about what you hear or read isn’t necessarily how it is meant or even factual. No matter how strong the feelings are.

My advice is wait if you can until the 5th when Mercury moves into your 9th of all things Sag-ruled and restores your perspective. And your sense of humour. That news may not mean what you thought it did. Or if it does, you now have a new and better way of dealing with it. Especially if it relates to money, finances, your career or property matters.

The past is your most valuable asset

You are in a stronger position than you think provided you tap into the wisdom the past two years has given you as Mercury and Vesta oppose Saturn in your money zone on the 3rd and 6th respectively.

Come from a place of true self-worth in money discussions or any kind of negotiation. Your capability isn’t in doubt now, Sag. And neither should be your self-belief. Especially when Venus arrives in your 8th from the 7th.

Love revisits or takes you back in time

Before this happens, you’ve a trip back in time when it comes to partnerships, close working relationships or even projects as Venus in its ruling 7th encounters the North Node in here for the first time in 19 years on the 5th. What’s familiar? What feels different? This could mark the beginning of a destiny-driven duo forming between you and someone significant. Or see the return of an opportunity for you and another. If you’d given up on love, this week says you’ve learned so much. And that includes knowing love hasn’t given up on you, Sag.

In a nutshell: Love takes on a familiar or fated feel. Even if it arrives in a fresh format this week. Apply what you have learned now. Destiny puts you and someone else on a new journey together.

 

Capricorn

Outer events reflect inner worth

It all begins within you

Experience creates something new

Whether you feel this week is all about your money, cash, income, possessions, assets or finances or not, Capricorn. Take it that no matter what it looks like on the surface, it isn’t about what’s going on outside of you, but what is happening within you.

What’s happening right now is simply a reflection of your soul-state within. So, if you want outer changes, especially of the material variety, this is where you need to begin now.

Put love on a stronger footing

You of all signs get ruler Saturn’s vibe. And it’s lessons. Which you also don’t or shouldn’t see as restrictions. Just a system to work with. Saturn is back for one final visit – so think going back over old ground. But stronger and with newer smarts.

Money and love are both ruled by Venus. So, this may involve not just your cash but someone close to you. If things need to be negotiated for a better, fairer deal as Mercury and Vesta in your 7th oppose Saturn in your 1st, again, work within that self-worth structure. Leverage or upgrade as necessary to get the outcome you know it right for you.

Shore up that soul immunity

Both Mercury and Venus are on the move this week. Another reason why love, money and knowing in the deepest core of your being your ARE worth it, will be in focus. Mercury moves into your ‘other’ money house on the 5th, favouring negotiations and deals. This is the same day as Venus meets the North Node in your 6th for the first time in 19 years.

This is your house of work, responsibilities and also wellbeing. Debt or money worry impact on our soul immunity. As does simply feeling we are not good enough. Venus is asking you to look back 19 years of you are old enough and look at how others and the world in general were reflections your beliefs around you were worth. What is this saying now?

Hopefully that you are not never enough but that you have become gold since then. Venus moves into its ruling 7th on the 7th. If you’re seeking love, then this is one of the best transits of the year to seek or begin a new partnership of any description. Anything that involve with you and at least one other person beginning to something new together. Others could use all that love know-how to start anew with someone. But it’s up to you should you to come from to true how in a way which reflects that worth, Capricorn. This isn’t a practice run. But love which comes from sure self-worth now.

In a nutshell: The truth around love or what you attract stems directly from what you believe about yourself. Lucky for you, ruler Saturn has been showing you how to align expectation with reality, Capricorn!

 

Aquarius

Self-belief fuels your future

Speak up and share those feelings

What you have set out to attract arrives

Look to those cut feelings around you and someone else this week. Do you feel you can express who you truly are and how you feel? If so, let them get closer. Invite them in to get closer and don’t be shy when it comes to what you really feel.

Believe in the way you feel, baby!

This week’s full Moon in your sign is all about your true feelings. And feeling comfortable sharing them and listening to their feelings too. Above all, it’s not about feeling you have to pretend to think or feel any other way just to keep the peace or make someone happy. This is about owning your emotions. And knowing you are justified to feel what you feel.

Mercury sits in its ruling 6th along with Vesta. Before exiting into your 7th of partnerships it opposes Saturn in your 12th while Vesta does the same thing on the 6th. This is your house of all things hidden. What you keep to yourself and what others hide. Like those feelings. Combined with this full Moon this is saying keeping those feelings to yourself really isn’t your best interest. So, air them now.

Your destiny has your name on it

Destiny driven love, luck or attraction plays a role as for the first time in 19 years, Venus meets the North Node in your 5th on the 5th. This is also your house of babies, children and young people. If you are old enough, look back 19 years to what you created, what you attracted and themes related to parenting or your inner child. Beginning again, attracting someone or something or being a parent, godparent, step parent or grandparent could feature. As could the return of an opportunity which puts you in the spotlight. Get ready for a love performance!

Venus will move into your 6th of daily work (paid and unpaid) and duty on the 7th. Your routine can be upgraded by getting more creative around those every day tasks. Venus allows you to make personal wellbeing your priority. Especially in light of current everyday restrictions around Covid-19. That attitude around self-love gets real with Venus in here. Love your day job? Venus shows you whether or not you do or the way to change things if you don’t. Venus in here shows you how everyday stuff can become real. Just up those expectations, Aquarius.

In a nutshell: Let others into your emotional world this week, Aquarius. This is no week to lock yourself away in the highest room in the tallest tower. Love or opportunity could return. Get ready t meet it.

 

Pisces

It’s not you, it’s me. Or is it?

There’s no feeling like belonging

Wait for the truth to reveal itself

Stop and take note of whether the full Moon in your 12th is all about your feelings. Or if you are now so open, sensitive and porous, that you are mistaking someone else’s emotional state for your own.

Keep your dream journal handy during this full Moon as you may be handed symbols or messages that hand you clues. Jot them down immediately when you wake up. Please don’t leave it until the morning!

Just whose feelings are these anyway?

But not knowing where your feelings end and another’s begin may cause confusion. If you get a ‘gut’ feeling around someone, sit with this and then see what transpires. More insights are likely to emerge later.

Mercury and Vesta in your 5th oppose Saturn in your 11th on the 3rd and 5th. This could well involve you and either a lover, child or friend. Again, take on board what you feel and wait until Mercury arrives in your 6th from the 5th to get a real handle on what is actually going on. The truth around what you pick up and what someone else may be saying or doing. You’ll then be able to back instinct and facts. And know what to do based on that.

Plant yourself some love seeds

Decisions around home, living arrangements and lifestyle – where you feel you belong, are being triggered. Venus meets the North Node in your 4th on the 5th for the first time in 19 years. The North Node is you time machine. In your 4th this is also about home, roots, tradition, homeland and even family themes and karma. If you are old enough jump back and look at what was happening with moving, property or putting down roots.

If this is the first time experiencing this, look back to what was happening with your family back then. This may mark a time where you create a lifestyle of your own or return ‘home’ to wherever or whatever that means to you. So, buying, selling, renting, relocating or ‘there’s no place like home’ wherever that may be, could open a new door to home beautiful your way.

Mercury in its ruling 6th from the 5th has you looking at your day to day routine and responsibilities. As well as placing on emphasis on health and wellbeing. Venus arrives in your fabulizing 5th on the 5th. Love or at the very least, self-love, pleasure and attraction are in the air.

Hidden truths are in the air

Friends, lovers, gifts and yes, money are what you are able to attract now. Time for some indulgence. And as for those feelings you pick up along the way – time lets you know whether these are your own. Or you’re simply tuned in to the true feelings someone else is keeping hidden, Pisces.

In a nutshell: The full Moon in your 12th puts your intuition at a peak. However, is what you’re picking up about you or someone close to you? Determine which it is before takin action, Pisces!
