August 28 through September 3, 2023
Another busy astrological week awaits us, beginning with Uranus turning retrograde on Monday. Though outer planets can be subtle when they begin a 4-5 month retrograde period, Uranus is the exception, as its very nature is to generate unexpected change. With the Moon traveling through Aquarius (the sign of the zodiac Uranus rules) on Monday and Tuesday, it's a good idea to expect a bit of the unexpected. More annoying than problematic, some of the things it might generate are oversleeping, overeating, and minor computer or home appliance problems. Nothing that comes your way will be too overwhelming to overcome but could generate short delays as your rally to get things back on track. On Wednesday we'll have a Blue Moon, as it waxes full for the second time this month. Of course, this brings to mind the "once in a blue Moon" saying, which also suggests a rare or unexpected event. Typically thought to bring a positive surprise our way, this may rectify whatever troubles we encountered on Monday. (Fingers crossed!) If you're wondering if there will be any calm days this week, take heart! Friday and Saturday's Aries Moon will restore our energy and get us back on track in record time. And, there's more good news. On Sunday Venus will end its six-week retrograde period and go direct, restoring the love, passion, and beauty this planet is known for.
