This week’s astrology forecast:

August 31st – September 6th

Message for the week: Although the anxious making feelings coming from the uncertainty of what might happen next persist, the week starts off with a very favorable Jupiter trine Saturn which will stay close for the next few weeks. The optimistic, expansive energy of Jupiter can be harnessed and focused with the support of “stay the course” Saturn, supporting sustainable growth. This is a good time to focus on long term goals, projects, or creative endeavors with this “manifest your goals” energy.

Tuesday presents the only bump in this otherwise smooth and mild week, with Mars (the gas pedal) being square to Saturn (the brake pedal). It is better to be more strategic than bold and to stay within your limits with this restrictive energy. BTW A racecar driver keeps one foot on the brake and one on the gas as he/she enters the curves—maximum speed under control is the way.

We are in the Virgo season, with the Sun and Mercury both in the sign of discernment. Virgo rules the intestines in the body, whose job is to distinguish what is nutritious and what is just waste to be eliminated. Use this Virgo season to sort and sift through all of the confusing information you are bombarded with to find what is useful and helpful and can be integrated into your life now.

Monday: Jump into this day with the Moon in fast-starting Aries. The Moon is opposite Venus, creating a strong desire for companionship and affection. Jupiter is trine to Saturn, bringing greater confidence in moving towards long-term goals—follow your dreams with determination and gusto.

Tuesday: You may start the day on a bit of a frumpy note with the Moon in Taurus square to Pluto this morning, bringing some unnamed aggravation to the surface. Mars is in an agitating square to heavy-handed Saturn—avoid conflicts which would only lead to lose-lose scenarios. However, Mercury is also in a favorable sextile to Mars, which will help diffuse difficult situations—use your words.  The day improves considerably, with the Moon moving into a supportive trine to the energizing Sun. 

Wednesday: A smooth day in the heavens allowing you to be able to tend to things at your own pace, with the Moon in patient, determined Taurus with no disruptive aspects. The Moon does form a quincunx to Venus this evening, bringing you different messages from your head and your heart. Lean into what you most value rather than a fleeting mood. 

Thursday: Your mind should be on fire today, with the Moon entering mentally curious Gemini and getting lit up by all the outer planets: trine to transformative Pluto and sextile inspirational Neptune this morning and conjunct “the cosmic accelerator” Uranus this afternoon. You can evolve fast-forward on your evolutionary path of awakening to the degree that you can stay with the quickened energy—breathe. 

Friday: An upbeat morning with the Moon in light-hearted Gemini at a sextile midpoint between the Jupiter/Saturn trine, fueling positive goals that are rooted in reality. All mental activities are enhanced—communications, teaching, writing, and learning. There is an aggravating square to Mercury in Virgo this afternoon—part of you desires to just focus on one thing and another part of you keeps coming up with more options. The aggravation soon passes and a whimsical, engaging evening is available.

Saturday: You may feel like sleeping in and staying in the dream world this morning as the Moon enters Cancer in a square to other-worldly Neptune. All-in-all, a good day to take it slow and easy. Home, house, family and food related activities are favored. Life can feel off and self-criticism can run high with the Sun in a quincunx to Saturn today. Try to be compassionate with yourself or at least accepting of your perfect imperfections—you are human. 

Sunday: Another slow starting day with the Moon in reticent Cancer in a square to daunting Saturn in the early morning. However, an enjoyable and active day unfolds with the Moon immediately moving into a stimulating sextile to the energizing Sun. You may feel very emboldened midday when the Moon will be conjunct Mars, heating up your power, passion, anger, libido, strength—use this empowerment wisely.  

May the stars be with you!
