ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER AUGUST 1-15, 2023
The Full Moon on August 1 at nine degrees of Aquarius brings an explosion of energy. You feel the emotional extremes of being detached and removed or intense and overwhelmed.
The astrology of the Full Moon polarizes personal love and your community. The Full Moon focuses on what you want as opposed to what is good for others.
Most feel compelled to save themselves and then help the planet. It’s all a mess anyway, you might think. Climate, water, government, the courts are stuck in a crisis that is unsolvable. What do I need to do for myself and my family to survive and be safe, and then I can think about the others.
This period points out in a radically precise manner that we’re all in this mess together. There will be another event soon that will be a little too messy.
With Venus retrograde in Leo, focusing on personal love is key to balance with friendship.
The Full Moon in Aquarius reminds you that you don’t live in a vacuum. Connect with others.
Our current culture portrays heroes as cartoon people that are big and strong and very bully. They take what they want with no apology and no concern about others. The North Node in Aries over the next 18 months glorifies people who are aggressive and live to get what they want. With the South Node in Libra, civility is a thing of the past.
This sentiment is becoming more ingrained in politics and daily interaction.
The Full Moon is close to where Venus turns direct on September 4. This means from August 1-6 you get a download of how love in your life could be.
Mercury is opposing Saturn during the Full Moon. Bad news and ruminating is repetitive. Building repairs, bad-timing and hearing problems manifest now.
It’s not the time to gamble on a sure thing.
Mercury is at a point of contention between August 1-5. This period will bring conflict and misunderstandings after Mercury goes retrograde on August 23. Be mindful with decisions and how you say things.
Your sense of love and pleasure could go overboard with eating, drinking, spending, sexting. Be moderately hedonistic. Enjoy what you have and be grateful for life on the planet.
Uranus in Taurus brings weather and earth extremes. Somewhere on the planet there is way too much and not enough water. The effects of this will become a huge problem within a year.
The Nodes continue to square Pluto through August 6. If you feel disconnected and unrelated to the world, focus on improving your work and health. Mars in Virgo helps energize your mood through diet and exercise. Utilize a system to help purify your mental and physical health. In a time of so much overdoing it’s challenging to balance.
The astrology of the time says in order to be in love with another you need to know yourself. Work on how and what you share with others. Mutuality with love, family, and friendship is golden. The heart is ruled by Leo. Be big of heart even when others’ motives are hiding in plain sight.
We are learning about love on many levels now. Romance, family, friendship and humanity. It all comes back to you. You are the center of the wheel and the wheel keeps on turning.
