Venus, Uranus and Jupiter

“Dreams are …illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.” Marsha Norman
There are interesting planetary energies as we head towards the First Quarter Moon on Saturday 8/22.
Venus continues her retrograde journey – making this time (through early Sept)
a good time to review aspects of  you life related to joy, abundance and pleasure and how if you feel there is room for improvement- to start scheming and  making plans about how you might do so.
Venus is moving back to a favorable alignment to Uranus this week so surprise is in the air. This aspect can bring romantic encounters and other unexpected events. It does have an erratic unpredictable current however and relationships started under this influence often take an unconventional, freedom loving path. With Venus  retrograde there can be the return of an old lover. Wait until September to have a more accurate picture about how any events of this nature are likely to turn out.
It is a good time to revisit unrealized dreams – even of your childhood – and see if there are ways that you can make them manifest in your life now.
Jupiter has moved into Virgo the sign of healing. If there are ways you would like to improve your health and general well being there is support and guidance available. Make a concrete plan which is part of your routine and commit to it.
The First Quarter Moon is on Saturday 8/22 at 29 Scorpio I will write about it later in the week.

Planetary Activity This Week

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.” Satchel Paige

There is a lot of planetary activity this week leading up to the New Moon at 21 Leo on Friday August 14.
Jupiter will enter the sign of Virgo on Tuesday the 11th and will transit through this sign for a year or so. In general it is a good time for thinking about service to the world and to others, for initiatives related to improving health and evolving your belief system. It is wise to watch out for a tendency to be overly critical or overly focused on perfection.

Thursday the ongoing Saturn/Pluto semi square is exact. This is a long term influence and concerns effecting change and transformation. There can be tension and frustration and it bodes well not to push too hard now but be patient and acknowledge incremental steps that represent progress in any change you have been trying to effect.

Mercury is moving up to an opposition to Neptune this week. This can bring confusion in communication and travel and fogginess in thinking. It will be helpful to be organized and prepared as you enter this week. Get details nailed down early.

The New Moon is Friday at 21 Leo. This is a good time to formulate goals for bringing more joy, happiness and creativity into your life. If there are children in your life set intentions about how you would like to relate to them in a more loving, joyful and playful way.
The Sun is the ruler of Leo and one of the Sabian symbols associated with this time is, “American Indians perform a ritual to the Sun.”
