A lot of energy going on around us. The most significant is the New Moon Solar Eclipse in the late degrees of Leo on August 21. A fire sign, associated with self and “me.” In contrast with Aquarius (where the south node is) who is more associated with the group and with “us.” That opposition between self and other.
New Moons carry with them a lot of energy anyway. Good times to start things, begin anew. But when it is eclipsed by the moon…the energy is magnified. It is a significant time of doors closing…so that other doors can open. Instead of fearing that change (and that closure)…try to embrace it and welcome it. Because on the other side of this eclipse is new, fresh energy. The universe is always guiding us to where we need to be. Even if we can’t see it or understand it in the moment. So be open to where you’re being led to go.
There’s a semi square between Mercury and Venus on August 20. This can be tension and conflict with communication in relationships. A feeling of being misunderstood. Be patient with this. Because there’s a trine between Venus and Chiron on August 23/24. So healing is there within relationships.
Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Virgo, presently. He will go direct on September 5. Communication problems, and delays with travel may occur now. It’s not a good time to buy expensive things, or to sign important documents or contracts. Wait, if you can, until the second week of September.
The Sun will move from Leo into Virgo on August 22 – the day after the eclipse. Virgo is a stable, gentle earth sign. Known to be sometimes concerned with particulars and specifics. So the details of our lives (day-to-day details, or details on a larger scale) may become things we are focused on. Not necessary a bad thing. With the shift that the eclipse is bringing, it may be a good idea to spend some time working through the finer points of our lives.
A lot of shift…a lot of change. There’s usually a tendency to fear change. We sometimes associated change with giving up something. Losing something. But that’s not always the case. And sometimes, change can bring things to us. Give us things. The universe is encouraging us all to grow and shift and the energy with the eclipse promises to do that. For all of us, in some area of our lives.
Be open to what calls you…
