We continue as the cycle of cosmic acceleration escalates, with breakdowns, endings, innovations and opportunities. If you’re overwhelmed by the rapid pace of info and events, I suggest you “chop wood and carry water” (do your daily tasks), and find nurturing practices for refuge.
It’s a super power to create healthy comfort that transcends 3D circumstances, those that you can access at any time. Remember that you are a spiritual being having a human experience here on planet earth.
This is a relatively quiet astrological week with only a few major aspects, as we complete the final week of Sun in Leo and as Mercury begins to pick up steam and move forward.
Aug 18 – Mercury sextile Mars. This was exact on Aug 14 and is exact again now (Round 2), due to Mercury’s slow movement after turning Direct on Aug 11. You may have had fruitful conversations last week gathering info, and now you have the facts and are ready for decisive actions with clarity and conviction. May this serve you well.
Aug 19 – Sun trine Chiron. This is the potential for healing, evolving or stepping into a new level of your creativity and Self-expression by allowing your Big Light to shine with love, joy, compassion and grace. Self-love may be your first call to action—and if so, get the support you need to view yourself through a lens of compassion so you can be free. You deserve it.
Aug 19-20 – Moon conjunct Jupiter-Venus. Because there are no major aspects occurring after Sun-Chiron, the Moon moving over and then between Jupiter and Venus can bring a beautiful feeling of abundance, possibility, sweetness and love cascading from the afternoon into the following morning. Open to the Goodness and soak it in.
Throughout August, Uranus (The Great Awakener) and Neptune (Divine Love) have been in a harmonious sextile that together, involve alternate states of higher consciousness that we feel, but are indescribable. They are simultaneously dissolving, rearranging and innovating, creating a cultural shift by generating frequencies that encode and upgrade consciousness.
Handle your nervous system with care and practice stabilizing to help your body and mind adapt. Chaos can often precede the birth of a new life, no matter how inconvenient it is, but it will be so worth it!
All week we’re leading to the New Moon in Virgo on Aug 23 that will square Uranus—more surprises and unexpected events (which can liberate you or redirect you, if it affects you). This opens the Eclipse Wormhole, as we have a Lunar Eclipse on Sept 7 (completions, fulfillment) and a Solar Eclipse on Sept 21 (major new beginning).
More about that next week, but in the meantime, focus on any new beginning you want to create or call in as you have space to integrate this week. Allow yourself the luxury of contemplation or processing anything that feels unresolved that needs attention.
I hope you see or feel new light within you or in your life that’s calling you forward. Don’t allow resistance to changes (real or projected) drain your energy and lower your frequency. Trust that there’s a path for you and trust in Divine Timing, knowing that each step will be revealed at the right and perfect time.
I heard yet another story today of someone who had what seemed like a misfortune for several years (illness)—that led to an amazing blessing. Not directly, but via a series of events that unfolded. This is the magic and mystery of life!
We think we know how things should be (ego), but we are only in charge of our free will, if that. Fate and Divine Order are operating on a higher level, with a bigger picture than we can see.
Dream your dream and trust your soul’s path going forward. Stay awake for opportunities and new doors that open for you.
I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷
