weekly astrology forecast | August 28th to September 3rd, 2023 - changes of direction, good week to keep plans flexible, not a week for business as usual, expect change and a big full moon in pisces, take your vitamins


MONDAY - Uranus stations retrograde

WEDNESDAY - Full Moon in Pisces, Uranus trine Pallas

SUNDAY - Venus stations direct!


There are multiple inconjuncts (rocks and hard places) this week that indicate the need for some give and take, multiple planets changing direction so we will be, too, and a BIG Full Moon in Pisces conjunct Saturn that extends last Sunday's Sun/Saturn limit/reality check into this week. This would probably be a good week to be on vacation because it certainly won't be business as usual!


STAY FLEXIBLE. 


On MONDAY - Uranus, the planet of change/rebellion/chaos/stored trauma stations retrograde at 23 degrees Taurus. He will station direct at 19 degrees on January 27, 2024. That will be a week after Pluto gets back into Aquarius - Pluto in Aquarius will be answering to Uranus - and just a couple days after a Full Moon in Leo (we just had the New Moon in Leo last week as Uranus slowed to station). 


Change/a need for progress or freedom is intensified or something changes course/slows. If we have been hit by a curve-ball recently things may smooth out a bit. For people being directly hit - the changes may intensify. 


If we have been considering a change this might be the week we make it/it happens! 


Happening in Taurus - collective ruler of our second house this might bring financial changes. An income source might dry up (or change) and we are going to have to innovate (and there are indicators we can and will)! 


Uranus in Taurus is also impacting our resources/food/supply chains, Earth changes (weather) and our personal freedom.


The best way to work with Uranus chaos, disorder, CHANGE is to loosen our grip on things. Stay open to changing your mind and direction. Expect the unexpected. Maybe what seems totally crazy right now, will make sense later on.


Keep in mind Uranus is retrograde for five months of every year and for most people it is like background noise. We don't really notice unless he is touching our charts directly or he is an uber important part of our natal chart. And if he is, this retrograde might amp things up (appear to get worse or more urgent), but what is really happening is we are being FREED UP for better and newer opportunities. 
 

If you have planets in the fixed signs between 19 and 23 degrees Uranian changes will either ease up as he backs off or amplify as he backs over. You are probably already feeling this. If something is impeding our progress - because remember Uranus rules the future - it HAS TO GO. In some cases major changes/disruptions are postponed and we are given time to deal with them through a delay. Note - the change isn't usually cancelled, but rather postponed, although circumstances can change and we can make changes and revisions during the retrograde that really lessen challenging impacts. 


With Uranus in Taurus - maybe old resources and ways we used to make money/income might come back around for another run. For all of us, something old, is going to be new again


Happening as the Sun opposes Saturn - reality check/pressure from authority or someone opposing what we want to do/setting limits - anything even slightly tight could feel like a dog collar. Rebellion could be risky with the Sun opposing Saturn though. 


Also happening as Uranus stations is we have the Aquarius Moon - answering to Uranus (and Saturn who is opposing the Sun) inconjunct the Virgo Sun. THERE IS A NEED TO CHANGE OUR PLANS OR WHAT WE HAVE FIXED ISN'T STAYING FIXED. Stay flexible. 


And, for many Uranian people, these changes, because Uranian people are truly ahead of their time, may have hit last week!


On WEDNESDAY - Uranus's first aspect is a smooth trine to smart Pallas in Virgo. So, our smart and practical Virgo plans are given a BOOST OF SOMETHING NEW and this makes things BETTER. This is smooth flow and something falling into place. We make something BETTER through change and innovation and even something very unexpected. Uranus is retrograde, so the change/improvement could be connected with something from the past. 


The Uranus/Pallas trine is a good indicator that changes will bring improvements. 


This is also the day the Pisces Moon opposes the Virgo Sun giving us this month's FULL MOON - our annual Full Moon in dreamy Pisces. This is happening conjunct Saturn and with both Saturn and Neptune (Pisces ruler) retrograde. Take your vitamins. Get enough rest. Watch your boundaries and what you are absorbing. I can't wait to unpack this chart. 


Expect a BIG post.


And then on SUNDAY - drumroll please - VENUS STATIONS DIRECT!


She stations direct at 12 degrees Leo. So, now we get our third pass over 12 - 28 degrees Leo. People with planets/points here and in the other fixed signs, and all of us really, have been back and forth over LOVE, OUR VALUES, OUR MONEY, our Leo house theme for weeks. As Venus changes direction, these things can, too. We will be able to see if what we wanted is VALID - one way or the other. The re-evaluation period ends and we can move on - keeping in mind we are still dealing with this in some sense until she clears her shadow and maybe even until she gets into Virgo in early October. Progress begins on what is actually valuable/what we really want/what we actually have and what we deserve. 


EXPECT THAT VENUSIAN THINGS MIGHT TURN AROUND ON US THIS WEEK - love, money, our values, relationships, beauty, women.  And with Uranus in Taurus answering to Venus, these changes/turnarounds might be even more likely. 


Stay flexible. 


I hope something here is helpful. Back with the Full Moon post and I will get back to Mercury retrograde this week, too.
