Today's astrology forecast | wednesday, August 7th, 2024 - backing into love or money, a light on luck, expanding our choices and opening our minds


Wednesday's aspects are applying as I write this on Tuesday, so in play and I don't want us to miss them. The Moon's aspects/our emotions are a little tricker right now, but by Thursday and Friday the Moon will be in Libra making ALL smooth aspects.


Let's make some headway here.


On August 7th, we have both Mercury, retrograde in Virgo, backing into Venus while Jupiter, in Gemini, sextiles the Sun - so both of our benevolent planets - Venus and Jupiter - are in contact with inner planets. This is something we will want to take advantage of. The good vibes are not something we can actually miss, but the more aware we are/the more optimistic and outgoing - the better use we can make of them.


Mercury stationed retrograde on Monday just as Venus entered Virgo - Mercury's sign. Many of Mercury's retrograde aspects will be repeated, but because by the time Mercury, as us, gets himself/herself sorted out Venus will have moved on, this is not a repeating aspect. This Mercury/Venus is a ONE SHOT DEAL.


To recap - we have Mercury turning around and bumping into Venus.


Jupiter is moving through Gemini (so answering to our retrograde Mercury) in 2024 determined to EXPAND OUR CHOICES and OPEN OUR MINDS. Giving us more ways to get lucky and be generous.


The Sun (our life force), strong in his home sign of Leo moves into an opportunistic aspect (sextile) with Jupiter. Sextiles are smooth aspects, but they do require some amount - it does not have to be Herculean - of effort or the energy just kind of hangs out there. Things won't so much fall into place as the right thing is placed in front of us for us to NOTICE. 


Mars - our action, ambition, anger, passion, men - is coming off his own sextille to the Aries North Node (our best and often most uncomfortable way forward which is more independent and self-sustaining and brave) and applying to his upcoming meeting with Jupiter in Gemini (where two is better than one and twice is better than once), who remember is determined to EXPAND OUR CHOICES and OPEN OUR MINDS - give us more ways to be LUCKY, more ways to SEE LUCK, more ways to be GENEROUS.


I can't tell you how this is all going to play out for you personally. Some people will have planets/points in their charts that are involved here and some will be participating in more supportive ways - but this is almost certainly some of the easiest energy of the month. Confidence. Good news. Saying the right thing. Optimism. Happiness.


NOTICE. Take a step in that direction. 


Maybe multiple steps in multiple directions. Don't leap. Don't start running. Don't get all bogged down in the Virgo practicalities and need for anything to be perfect. Just NOTICE what life is bringing you/where you are for this moment of GOOD LUCK and raise your hand. Say YES (knowing that this isn't a linear thing, Mercury is retrograde so there will be a fact-finding mission attached to everything LATER). 


Speak up. Listen. Look. Be out and about. BE GENEROUS. 


With Mercury retrograde this can be about LOOKING BACKWARD. Something/someone from the past. It is likely not to be about a brand-new thing. What has been missed/dropped from overflowing, clumsy or open hands? There is some kind of LUCK with this energy/life wanting to make us lucky in some way. Notice it. With both Virgo and Gemini, small things can become bigger/BIG things. Start where you are. 


Stay positive and communicative. The Sun is shining a light on something good. Notice it and then do something with it.
