August 16 through August 22, 2021
A sense of peace and balance emerges in the heavens this week, as Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and Neptune all travel through their home signs, generating the message that all is right with the world. The week starts off on a lighter note under Monday and Tuesday's Sagittarius Moon, but when it moves into Capricorn on Wednesday, our productive sides will emerge and have us making up for lost time for two days. Uranus will be slowing to go retrograde on Thursday, but its effects will be so subtle we may not even notice. This planet will travel backward for the net five months, not resuming forward motion until mid-January of next year. Its higher purpose is to give us the chance to go back and do things differently, revise our plans and ideas, and to realize the bigger picture Spirit is painting for us. Friday and Saturday the Moon will travel through Aquarius, bringing out our social and humanitarian sides. This is a great time to reach out to friends and family to see how they are doing and make sure they have everything they need. Two major events occur on Sunday, starting with the second Aquarius full Moon of the year (the last one was in July), followed by the Sun's entry into Virgo. A Virgo Sun is always designed to help us prepare to move into a new season, as it inspires us to organize, recommit to a schedule and pay closer attention to the details of our lives. For the next four weeks, we'll find ourselves drawn to a more orderly and balanced way of living, and as we take stock of the things we are preparing to harvest after a long season, our gratitude levels and sense of accomplishment will become apparent!
