Astro Energy Report Highlights
All dates are at exact peak of intensity when energies begin to culminate and wane. If you have personal planets or points within 1-2º orb of an aspect that’s occurring between planets then you will feel that celestial even more strongly.
This week may seem very calm and staid after the prior week’s Eclipse hoopla, but don’t be fooled. Much can be accomplished this week towards putting solid foundations in place and realizing your dreams.
On August 26th Sun at 4º Virgo conjunct Mercury Retrograde. Mercury Retrograde reaches its mid-point in the 3-week retrograde. You can feel relieved today, as you have a meeting of heart and mind.
On August 27th Jupiter at 21º Libra Sextile Saturn in Sagittarius. The Scorpio Moon, which is excellent for creating prosperous circumstances and attracting wealth, is Sextile Pluto in Capricorn (prestige and power) and Trine to Neptune (Dreams Manifesting).
On August 29th the 6º First Quarter Sagittarius Moon forms a T-Square with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces. If something’s holding you back from doing the necessary work to realize your dreams time to let it go. Let go of burdensome ideas and let life do the manifesting. The only thing standing in your way is what you believe can or can’t happen.
On August 31st Mercury Retrograde dips back into Leo. Review your attitudes to find any beliefs that prevent you from fully shining your light.
VOID OF COURSE MOON PERIODS
The moon represents your emotional needs. Your emotions fluctuate with the moon as it moves through its 28-day cycle around the zodiac from new moon to full and back to new.
Notice how the moon’s placement in the zodiac affects your mood and emotions. Essential oils can help stabilize your mind and emotions. Generally earthy scents have the most harmonizing and stabilizing effects on the emotions.
These are great periods for taking it easy and going with the flow of events and completing projects. During Void of Course Moons your emotional body is going through a period of processing and integrating your recent experiences. You naturally clear out your emotions during these periods. Doing things that helps with this natural process are especially helpful now, i.e. relaxation, yoga, movement, hot baths with sea salts and essential oils, focused breathing.
Void of Course Moon Phases are not good for starting new projects, or launching new ventures, or having meetings (if you want to achieve anything), or signing contracts and making agreements as it’s less likely anything will come of any agreement, or it will be sluggish and slow to start.
For your New and Full Moon Rituals make sure the Moon is not Void of Course and in aspect to another celestial body when doing your ritual for best results.
