Astrology for the Week: August 15 - 21

 

This week we are in the first quarter phase of the moon.  We are acting on the seeds we planted a week ago at Leo New Moon.   Acting on love, joy and bravery, how do we dig in and let go?   This is not true of every first quarter moon but this month, the first quarter phase gives us an opportunity to cut out debris and connect to our power.   

 

On the 18^th we move into Gibbous phase, which asks us to refine our creativity and love and bring to our work or how we are in the world. 

The 19th has a lot of energy.   The sun opposes Jupiter --big pull and Uranus stations retrograde, big weird.    Unlikely a quiet day.   Could have tecnological snafus and shortages, humans needing love and power could be in the news.

Gibbous:

 

Focus on:  How are you refining your place in the world?  How are you tapping your specialness, refining it and making it work in your bigger circles?   How do you bring your voice in a real, creative and functional manner to your career? 

 

 

Special focus

 

8/18: Mercury conjunct Mars.   Words are sharp.  Comments that cut to the bone may cause damage.   Great time to get detailed about a task that needs super focus.  

8/19: Sun oppose Jupiter:  How are you feeling vitality?  How are you sharing it with others?  How are you informing your circles of your creativity?   How are you sharing your bigness?  

8/19:  Uranus retrograde 14 Taurus 48 (see separate post)  

8/21 Mars trine Uranus.  Actions that bring out new.  Breakthroughs.
