August 16th – 22nd

What’s The Bigger Picture?

 

This week’s headline items: Venus changes sign from Virgo to Libra very early on Monday; Uranus comes to a halt late on Thursday, beginning its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase; the Full Moon in Aquarius (which is also a “Blue Moon”) becomes exact on Sunday morning; the Sun changes sign from Leo to Virgo on Sunday early evening.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for a little over 4 hours); Thursday evening (for almost 9 hours); and Sunday morning (for 40 minutes).

 

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention two things:

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 16th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.

We tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, this means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.

As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.

Monday very early morning, at 12:27am EDT, Venus changes signs from detail-oriented, practical Virgo to harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Sept 10th. With this placement, we prefer to show kindness, even-handedness, and a willingness to make our relationships work.

We value our relationships at this time and we prefer entering into equal partnerships. Until Sept 10th, we can develop an idealized view of what a relationship “should” look like. We do our best to treat others fairly for the next three and a half weeks, seeking the middle ground. We are more likely to appreciate the arts, dance, beauty, entertainment and romance.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus? If so, you will feel more connected to your inner harmony for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to others in an equal setting. If you are a Libra Sun- or Rising-sign you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.

Monday evening, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 7:35pm. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (Aug 15th) on; and it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (Aug. 17th). This will contribute either to a lack of mental energy or a need to focus on our commitments with others. This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice.

The sheer scope of our goals in life can require more effort than is immediately obvious. Hard work can take its toll on our health. If we partition our big ideas into achievable segments — and go one clear action step at a time — we can move forward while maintaining inner peace and outer health. Use your time wisely! Develop the inner awareness needed, so you can see what needs adjusting.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 8-10 degrees of Virgo or Aquarius? Do you have an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn? If so, you will be…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 8-10 degrees of Virgo or Aquarius? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).

 

Tuesday, Aug 17th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Monday morning for details).

Tuesday until midnight, is your last chance to take advantage of the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL for the upcoming Forecasting Forum.

Tuesday morning, a somewhat challenging Sun/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 9:31am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; and it will remain strong until Wednesday morning. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.

This might concern compromising with others. Our fear of being manipulated might make us stubborn or manipulative ourselves. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative/the higher road, adjusting as needed.

We might be forced to focus, time and again, on details we would prefer to ignore. When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-26 degrees of Leo or Capricorn? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)

Tuesday at 9:43pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 4 hours until 1:58am EDT (Wednesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets you excited about the future.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening until Wednesday very early morning ahead of time.

 

Wednesday, Aug 18th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius and VoC, until 1:58am EDT (see Monday morning & Tuesday late evening for details).

Wednesday at 1:58am EDT, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Friday early morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.

As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and is currently moving through Aquarius, making this a great time to take a look at our visions for humanity, and at anything we would like to accomplish long-term within our communities (locally or online).

It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our various networks and connections to like-minded people; as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations: Do they truly resonate with your personal vision for the future — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago?

Does participation in those groups or networks align with who you are now, and with where you see yourself 5 years from now? What do you truly want to commit yourself to?

Wednesday late morning, a somewhat challenging Mars/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 10:09am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday late morning on; and it will remain strong until this Thursday late morning. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.

We might feel insecure about our daily routines: What if you could simply allow yourself to be human and know that you are doing the best you can?

We also experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to heal and be whole. Once we are able to approach things from a more holistic place, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our wounded inner child with love and compassion.

We can also learn how to improve our daily routines from a place of observation and practical application, rather than the perfectionism that shows itself through criticism, shame, and blame. How might you get in touch with your inner wounded child and give it the understanding and compassion it deserves? What might “being of service” to my healing and other people’s healing process look like?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-14 degrees of Virgo or Aries? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries (Mars is the ruler of Aries;)

Wednesday evening, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 6:19pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This aspect also operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.

This boils down to feeling “stumped” — we feel like we can’t get our head around things, or make decisions.  As best as you can, be kind and compassionate to yourself. Ask yourself: Could I hang out with the inner discomfort this is stirring up, just for right now?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-14 degrees of Virgo or Aries? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

Wednesday very late evening, a Mercury/Mars alignment in a little over 12.5 degrees of Virgo becomes exact at 11:28pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Sunday evening (Aug 15th) on; and it will remain strong until this Sunday evening. This alignment might speed up our thinking (and possibly also our driving 😉

We communicate with curiosity, enthusiasm and energy, especially on the subjects of health issues or reform, the organization of our daily lives, refining our understanding of how something functions — and anything connected to nutrition and wholesome diets. We seek the very heart of a subject.

Ask yourself: In what ways could I purify my body, my mind and my spirit? What would clear some space in my daily life for implementing healthy routines?

Something to be aware of: We may take things a little too personally. This defensiveness could make it challenging for others to engage in healthy dialogue with us. We may focus too much on ourselves and get attached to being “right” over being happy.

As best as you can, observe and discern, rather than judge. Consider all the facts. If you find yourself becoming impatient, draw a deep breath into your lower belly, and feel the breath soothing and clearing your mind…

Ask yourself: What if that voice in my head, that narrates and comments on everything, was just an aspect of who I am, or even just something I’m aware of, and not the totality of who I am? And if I’m more than just that voice, what else am I — in other words, what is beyond “thinking”?

What if I gave that voice 5% less of my focus? What do I notice when I direct that newly spare 5% of attention to this moment, connecting with my direct experience of life, right here, right now?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-16 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Aries (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).

(Star Members will receive an email today – Aug. 19th – in the afternoon, and tomorrow, Friday, Aug. 20th, an hour before the live event begins, with the link to join live).

Thursday at 7:59pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 9 hours until 4:49am EDT (Friday early morning).  Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term successes. We might get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care 😉

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday evening until Friday early morning ahead of time.

Also on Thursday evening, a Sun/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 8:29pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from this Monday evening on; and it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Aug 23rd). This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about life, relationships and enjoy the optimism.

The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach — and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and slow down whenever you can. Also, use humor 🙂

Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I slowed down, just for a moment? What’s the bigger picture in all of this?

Think back to Jan. 28th, 2021, when the Sun last aligned (conjunct) with Jupiter in Aquarius, and ask yourself: What was started then? What seeds did I plant around my various social networks or communities? What might I see if I expanded my perspective around humanity’s future? Have those seeds sprouted since then? What’s my attitude now? What still needs to change?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in the following: 24-29 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio, or 0 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Thursday at 9:40pm EDT, Uranus comes to a halt in almost 15 degrees of  Taurus, and begins its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase until Jan 18th, 2022.

During the Uranus Retrograde phase we are invited to access the Uranus energy from within. Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas.

This planetary shift gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel. As best as you can, take a look in there at whatever has been thwarting your progress or sense of freedom: Where are the inner roadblocks popping up? Are you expressing your individuality to the fullest? Are you connecting to a larger vision?

Remember, doing the inner work is just as important as making progress in the outer world — the “Inner Universe” informs the outer — one cannot happen without the other 😉

We addressed the Uranus Station/Retrograde phase in more detail in relationship to our own birth charts on July 23rd, in my last Forecasting Forum. If you were not able to join us (and you are not yet a Star Member of my online community) and want to know how this is going to impact you personally, check out the webinar on this subject.

Other than booking a reading with me, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s only $37.

We have 5 months to take a look inside at whatever has been thwarting our progress or sense of freedom, so ask yourself: Where are inner roadblocks popping up? Could I give myself some introspective time to receive some practical insights and ideas to help me go around those roadblocks and journey into the next phase of my life?

Some of us will feel the effects of the Retrograde phase more than others. This is particularly true if you have personal planets in 8-17 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Leo — and if you have Aquarius as your Sun- or Rising-Sign. For you in particular, this is a great time to reevaluate future visions — and perhaps to reexamine any group causes that you want to be a part of.

 

Friday, Aug 20th:

Friday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn and VoC, until 4:49am EDT (see Wednesday very early morning and Thursday evening for details).

Friday until 1pm EDT, is your very last chance to register for the Forecasting Forum, live today at 2pm EDT/7pm London-time. Registration includes access to the mp4-video recording of the live event!

Friday early morning, a harmonious Mercury/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 4:06am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; and it will remain strong until this Sunday morning. This aspect supports a connection between our higher mind and our day-to-day mind.

We are able to receive inspiration from higher places and maybe even look into the future. We are able to communicate our vision for a better future; insights arise from these communications. We are also looking to reinvent our relationship to health and our body.

Ask yourself: What is healthy for me personally at this time? What works for me? What doesn’t? Could I honor what my body needs, even if it is different from what other people need at this time? If my body had a say in this, what might it be saying to me?

Original, creative insights and ideas can appear out of nowhere; as best as you can, stay open to these unique “downloads” — they might change how you see and proceed with life 😉 This is a good time to communicate online, engage in computer-related activities or scientific projects, and also for anything metaphysical.

Group activities with like-minded people are great things to be involved with right now — especially if they allow us to share our vision for a better future — a future in which our relationship to nature and our physical experience gets an overhaul.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-18 degrees of Virgo, Taurus or Capricorn? If so, you will feel especially blessed by this connection. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)

Friday at 4:49am EDT, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Sunday morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.

Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.

This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon aka Blue Moon (exact Sunday morning). If you are already a Member of my online community, and want to learn more about this month’s Full Moon/Blue Moon, please click here to watch my video

 

Saturday, Aug 21st:

Saturday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Friday late afternoon for details).

Friday night/Saturday very early morning, presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring us progress. (Moon in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 2:01am EDT).

Saturday early morning, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the need to connect to like-minded people about our future visions — and on the other hand, the desire for more clarity regarding what is important to us on a daily basis, when it comes to our health. What actions are required to declutter our inner and outer spaces? (Moon in Aquarius quincunxes Mars in Virgo, exact at 5:13am EDT)

Saturday morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.

As such, we may have to address what we value both in others, and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 6:12am EDT)

Saturday late morning may highlight more internal struggles, or adjustments that need to be made; we may feel conflicted at times, as we are feeling internal pulls in some very different directions: on the one hand, we are invited to think about what’s working (and what isn’t) in our daily routines and health routines, and on the other hand, we also feel a need to make progress and connect to like-minded people about our collective future. (Moon in Aquarius quincunxes Mercury in Virgo, exact at 9:41am EDT)

 

Sunday, Aug 22nd:

Sunday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 8:43am EDT (see Friday late afternoon for details).

Sunday very early morning, a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:38am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening (Aug. 16th) on; and it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (Aug 26th). This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual — among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel “driven”, especially in new and unusual directions.

It could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things.

Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people who share your passion for creating a progressive relationship with nature, health & well-being, or with physical experiences (such as food, massage, creating physical abundance and beauty, etc.) .

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-18 degrees of Virgo, Taurus or Capricorn? If so, you will feel especially blessed by this connection. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)

Sunday at 8:02am EDT, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 40 minutes until 8:43am EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with like-minded people and express your own creative spark.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday morning ahead of time.

Also, on Sunday morning, at 8:02am EDT, the Full Moon becomes exact. The entrance of the Moon into Aquarius early on Friday morning started the energetic build up towards this Full Moon.

This is the second of two Full Moons in the Aquarius-Leo polarity within a 30-day period — and if you’ve ever wondered what a Blue Moon is… that’s exactly what we have here! If you are already a Member of my online community, you can click here to watch my video about this Blue Moon 😉

Two consecutive Moons in the same sign is particularly interesting because of the degree in which they become exact — usually an exalted degree — and the current Full Moon becomes exact in 29.5 degrees of Aquarius. This is indeed an exalted degree, because it is the last degree of the sign, and therefore the last chance for any transiting celestial body to express itself before changing signs.

This would indicate a strong urge to complete something — most likely something that started with the first Full Moon in 1.5º of Aquarius on July 23rd — and therefore is connected to social interactions, a desire for progress in connection to our vision for humanity, or our future in general.

The last time we had two consecutive Full Moons in the same sign was in the Spring of 2019, in Libra-Aries — and the last one in Aquarius-Leo was in July 22 & Aug. 20th, 2013 — and the one before that was way back in 2002, on July 24 & Aug. 22nd of that year, to be exact.

Ask yourself: What was important to me in the summers of 2013 and 2002? What of that is asking to be completed over the next two weeks? Where am I looking to transition to the next level?

With any Full Moon, we see things previously hidden, and get a chance to make some changes if we don’t like what we see. Given this, ask yourself: What keeps happening since July 23rd in my social networks or interactions? What needs adjusting? What needs outright change?

Something else that makes this Full Moon chart deeply unusual — even unique, in my experience — is… To read the whole article and get access to all the Coaching Questions in writing, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or 0-2 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Sunday at 8:43am EDT, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until next week, Tuesday afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.

It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.

Sunday early evening, at 5:35pm EDT, the Sun changes signs from playful, vital Leo into practical, detail-oriented Virgo. It will journey through Virgo until September 22nd. This time is best used for getting our lives in order and expressing ourselves in realistic, practical terms.

Addressing your health (e.g., starting a new exercise or eating routine) might be just the thing within the next four weeks. Being of service and moving towards improving our living conditions are essential Virgo qualities. How might you be of service to others? What needs a little practical improvement?

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Virgo Sun-sign or Rising-sign. Virgo folks will feel extra confident and playful; Leo people are more aware of the details and more grounded in reality.

 

And…

A heads up for next Monday (Aug. 23rd), The Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Sunday morning for details). Around 6am EDT, Mercury squares June 10th’s Solar Eclipse degree. In the morning, a harmonious Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 8:48am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; and it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday evening (Aug 25th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )
