Astrology Notes for Week of August 20 - 27

 

Crescent Moon Phase

August 20, 2023

5:23am PDT  

 

Crescent:  We will receive information, we will research a bit more, perhaps get feedback on stuff that we planted on new.  Perhaps get some information that will help down the road on a seed we planted a while ago.  We can collect some data now.  Even if you think you are not getting information, stop, and re-look at everything.  Who called you?  Even the silliest things when they come up during Crescent are note worthy.  A parking ticket.  An argument with a spouse?  A refund check from the phone company?  All of it needs to be considered a message from the universe.  How can this information help you?

 

Focus on: What are you learning about your relationships?  What are you learning about partnerships?  What are you learning about the power of negotiations?  What are you learning about the importance of balance? 

 

Special Focus

8/22: Venus square Jupiter.  Watch the overspending, overeating, over big opinions.  

8/22: Mars opposite Neptune.  Actions may not be based on accurate truth.   Meditate before doing any big action.   How is trust working in your life before you act?  

8/23: Sun enters Virgo - Happy Birthday, Virgos 

8/23: Mercury station retrograde (21 Virgo 51)  (see above) 

 

First Quarter Moon 

August 24, 2023

2:57am PDT 

 

 

First quarter: We do more actions based on the information that we just received. Or we feel our instincts guide us on something.  We pursue again.  We make another call, or we see someone. We mail something.  We stir the pot again.  This can be a time when we realize that the goals, we planted on new need more action from us, perhaps actions that involve breaking away.   Are there people who say they have our best interest in heart but fear us growing away from them?  Maybe we need to get help from others not the usual suspects.  Some independence may need to be exerted. 

 

 

Focus on:  How are you taking action that broadens your world?  What are you doing to get a higher perspective?  What are you doing to connect with others that have a wild different approach?  What actions are you taking that help you learn something new?  

 

 

Special Note

 

8/24: Mars trine Pluto.  Great aspect to act and have a big evolution.   

 

 

Gibbous Moon

August 27, 2023  

2:18pm PDT  

 

 

Gibbous:

We refine our information.  We pick and choose, we discriminate, and we organize to be ‘Virgo’ like.  We sort through details.  Have we missed something?  How are we sifting through the information?  Go back and make sure something hasn’t been neglected.  Refine our actions.  

 

Focus on:  How are you refining your executive abilities?  How are you refining your inner CEO?  How are you sorting through your place in the world?   

  

Special focus

8/27: Sun opposite Saturn.  Low energy, details matter but they can feel overwhelming.   Finding prayer and faith may help.   Truth may be fuzzy.
