August / September 2010

August is an action packed month with six of our ten planets in the busy cardinal signs.  Five of them happen to be affecting our relationships both business and personal.  It is time to let go of relationships that have served their purpose in our lives; and open our hearts to new people that we can continue to grow with and learn from.  So, expect a few growing pains in this area, and maybe some power struggles as we determine how this change will unfold; and how we choose to deal with others decisions as well. 

 

Venus, planet of love; enters Libra our sign of relationships August 7th, where she joins Mars and Saturn and opposes Jupiter and Uranus.  A time to evaluate, set boundaries, set free and solidify relationships.  With Venus and Mars travelling together all month aspecting Neptune, love is in the air and romance is a priority.  Mercury stations retrograde on the 20th, in Virgo as we reflect and analyze the decisions we make.  This is also a great time to reconnect to those we have lost touch with and tie up loose ends on all projects. The Sun enters Virgo on the 23rd and we focus on duties and details as we get organized for autumn. The Full Corn Moon on the 24th in Pisces brings the month’s energy to its peak; as we complete our undertakings creatively and with compassion.   

 

September’s New Moon on the 8th starts a new cycle for the last month of summer.  We continue to organize, clean out and clear out our home and work place.  Venus enters Scorpio the same day which helps us be resourceful with possessions and also focus on finances.  Jupiter returns to Pisces on the 9th to stay throughout December.  If you are a Piscean, now is your time to enjoy the celestial blessings coming your way.  Expansion and growth may come on many levels.  Mars joins Venus in Scorpio on the 15th bringing passion and adding intensity to our desires and motivation.  The Autumn Equinox occurs on the 22nd as the Sun enters Libra bringing our first day of fall.  Then, on the 23rd our Full Harvest Moon lights up the sky with an incredibly powerful energy that will be stimulating and energizing in our personal lives and on a global level as well.  This is a time for new beginnings and initiating change on all levels.
