today's astrology forecast | Tuesday, August 20th, 2024 - relax, let go


The Moon is coming down from her monthly peak. The opposition to the Sun is behind her. She drifts somewhat cautiously into Pisces - now we are nourished by connection and imagination and music and art and prayer and relaxation and rest and water. 


The Sun meets Vesta - a light on our sacred focus/what is keeping us up at night. Maybe with the Moon in Pisces now the Sun is reinvigorating a creative or spiritual passion or maybe we are feeling nostalgic for what once kept us up at night or what we wish we had allowed to. 


At the same time Mercury retrograde moves into a square with Pallas. Leo/Scorpio. This is a repeating aspect from July 15th. Mercury's return to what we used to love/to our royal roots this summer/fall includes multiple tense conversations. Secrets. Stuffed stuff. Things we don't really want to see/talk about. Pallas in Scorpio is really good at connecting hidden dots (also manipulation and obsession), making plans, and yes schemes, behind the scenes. Mercury in Leo wants to talk about and think about the good stuff, in retrograde motion, maybe the good old days, but Pallas pulls in a reminder of the shadows. Was everything really so shiny? This doesn't make Pallas a "debbie-downer", so much as a way to not gloss over this stuff again. 


After all, Uranus's square to the Sun and Vesta - which we talked about HERE - is wresting our attention onto something else FOR A REASON. 


Let's be grateful the Moon has drifted into Pisces and remains unaspected today. Give yourself a break if you need one.
