August 21 through August 27, 2023
There's a call to higher awareness this week, as the Moon travels through Scorpio Monday through Wednesday and asks us to pay closer attention to things. To top it off, the Sun will enter Virgo on Wednesday, followed by Mercury, (its ruler) going retrograde. So again, the stress will be on paying attention, practicing caution, and not getting stuck in the minutia of day-to-day life. Flexibility and a willingness to compromise will be essential to get through the first three days of this week. A light-hearted energy will prevail on Thursday and Friday under the Sagittarius Moon, allowing us to regroup after a trying few days. Make it a point to relax, play and leave the heavy lifting for another day. This weekend's Capricorn Moon will offer us a chance to get re-grounded, take a look at things from a more logical and practical angle, and promote self-care. The week ends with Mars moving into Libra, marking the start of a two-month cycle of more balanced movement and interpersonal relationships.
