weekly astrology forecast | August 15 to 21, 2022 - new information, genius ideas, smart fixes, breakthrough thinking, love and money grows, Mars moves into Gemini for the long haul


 

 

We start the week with the uber powerful portal of our FUTURE, activated a couple weeks ago, (is that right - when was that? my brain is aging in dog years now), by the Mars/Uranus/North Node conjunction now GETTING GROUNDED in the mutable earth of Virgo through a strong "let's fix this thing" Mercury - new ideas, solutions, new information/conversations. Common sense AND brilliance. Our balanced brain AND access to the higher frequency/collective hive-mind. 

 

A change in our thinking or new information that sets us on a better and more stable path. 

 

Mid-week we have Venus in an uber amazing productive trine to Jupiter. Our two 'benevolent' planets working together - this is expansion, optimism, LOVE. This is Leo/Aries so red hot, folks.


At the end of the week, Mars enters Gemini until next March. Mars hasn't been in Gemini for two years, and because of his upcoming retrograde, instead of his usual few weeks we get a few months! This is going to be a HUGE mind-bending adjustment period for all of us. 

 

I have a BIG post coming about Mars transit of Gemini this week!

 

MONDAY - Mercury trines North Node of Fate

TUESDAY - Mercury trines Uranus

THURSDAY - Venus trines Jupiter

FRIDAY - Last Quarter Moon | 26 degrees Taurus

SATURDAY - Mars enters Gemini

SUNDAY - Vesta retrograde enters Aquarius, Mercury opposes Neptune


On MONDAY - Mercury, at 17 degrees Virgo trines the Taurus North Node

 

Here is a conversation/words, that smoothly connect us with our BEST FUTURE. Maybe our attention is drawn to a problem so it can be fixed. Mercury in Virgo is all about the details, so whatever this is - information/what we are noticing, can seem like a small thing, but it will lead to something valuable/more stable. Good news can come in. This is our self esteem, our resources, our money, our values, our natal Taurus house theme in smooth flow with our best/most stable path forward. Virgo will pull in our work, our day-to-day, our health and our pets. Keep your ears/eyes open. Talk to people. Listen. Our words/ideas are our fortune. Take notes. Be out and about. Make the call. Write the email.


On TUESDAY - Mercury, at 18 degrees Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus


This is easy-to-manage change via news/information conversations that are HELPFUL/healthful. A change in our thinking. A change in our words. A LIBERATING CONVERSATION. A genius idea. New answers are found easily. Something falls into place. Maybe we are making sense of recent changes, breaking things down into smaller pieces/taking things one step at a time is helpful. 

 

Keep in mind, Mercury is coming off his trine to the North Node - our best path forward - so this is likely all part of the same thing we talked about for Monday!


On WEDNESDAY - Venus, at 8 degrees Leo, trines Jupiter in Aries.

 

This is a beautiful aspect. More love. More money. Can we be any shinier? Love any bigger? Well, maybe we can! Can we take something too far? Well, sure - so don't run off to Vegas and elope. Don't spend all your money. But, DO enjoy the connection of our two most benevolent planets. Give big. Accept with open arms. More money. More love. Great for socializing. It's summer, get out and have some FUN!

 

FRIDAY - the Moon, at 26 degrees Taurus squares the Leo Sun, giving us this month's Last Quarter Square - the final challenge of last week's BIG Full Moon in Aquarius before next week's New Moon in Virgo. This is tension/frustration. The Moon in Taurus wants security/comfort. The Sun in Leo wants to shine. Does the bright, fun or dramatic thing we are giving our energy to have any REAL value? Situations will transpire for us to look at this. 


26 Taurus is the degree of fixed star Algol - so probably someone is going to publicly lose their head now or maybe some artificial intelligence information will come to light. Either way there is likely a soft connection now to the BIG Eclipse in Taurus last fall.


SATURDAY - Mars enters Gemini for the first time in two years, where due to his upcoming retrograde, he will be until next March 2023!

 

Our Gemini houses snap to attention.

 

Mars leaves Taurus, where he (as we) has been kind of grinding his/our heels, and been in a kind of warrior mode protecting what we value. Now, he moves into energetic/frenetic mental Gemini. Mars in Gemini will have us running here and there. We can walk and chew gum at the same time now. More than one move is possible/more than one direction at once. This is the energy that loves multi-tasking. Keep in mind, too many balls in the air, can be an exciting thing, until they are all in a pile at our feet. If everything is equally important than nothing is really important. 

 

Skills to prioritize and stay on track will come in handy. This is going to be a VERY LONG transit, so pace yourself.


Back with a BIG Mars in Gemini post this week!


SUNDAY  - A retrograde Vesta backs into Aquarius, now our re-look/re-invention/re-do of an old focus moves back into our Aquarius house. Collectively this will be about our groups, causes, group goals, our tech, the internet, our friendships. Personally this will also be about our Aquarius natal house theme. 


This is also the day, Mercury, at 24 Virgo - he is flying this week! - makes his/her annual opposition to Neptune in Pisces. Oppositions bring culmination points. With Mercury in practical Virgo, our dreams might be brought down to earth. Maybe something can't be fixed and we just have to learn to live with it. Maybe our vacation is over and it is BACK TO WORK or the opposite is happening. Mercury in Virgo can be way too critical/perfectionist, and the opposition to Neptune can dissolve some of that, but also kind of fuzz out the details and make it hard to focus/get to the facts. Maybe you need to work - the Mercury in Virgo - but are tired/sick/burned out.

 

Take a breath.  


Back with Mars in Gemini!
