STARDROPS AUGUST 8 – 14
This week is filled with a power to accomplish your personal, financial and social successes. Yet the world is filling up with more disruptions and frustrations. Move forward as you have planned in spite of this or that frustration. The challenges of the week (and increasingly throughout the month) are unexpected. These out of left field disruptions (and not necessarily all within your own personal life) are beyond our control and yet there is always a way to navigate around and right through them, unharmed.
Intervention from a mysterious power that has the ability, the resources and intelligence to come inbetween us and the challenges and disruptions, comes as a welcome intercession. Something is protecting us, even if it is at the last minute.
It’s as if shields surround all productive activities now. Personal and Regional. Profound grace and unusual protection is found in this intercession. Everything is speeding up again. Many people check out because they know, reality as it was understood, is dissolving. What a strange and exciting time this could turn out to be. It begins with the New Moon in Leo, and all the astrology cycles below, building up through the next Mercury retro in mid September through October, on into the Venus retro in Capricorn in December, making it’s way through the winter. Intercession continues as more and more of the past mutates into a surreal future.
WHAT IS IN STORE FOR THIS WEEK
August 8 Mercury at 25* Leo inconjunct Pluto at 25* Capricorn A day that starts out purposeful, but some change of plans could be in the air. It might be a bit of a disjointed day, minor disconnects. Don’t let it feel like a waste, your mind is processing something now which will help you throughout the coming week. Your mental disconnect could be an attempt to tune into a message or intuition that is right on the brink of getting your full attention. Pay attention, others might not be thinking about your own welfare, only their own. Distractions and wandering minds could be because we’re experiencing someone elses’ thoughts that are not congruent with what they are saying out of their mouths.
You know how sometimes you are trying to pay attention all day and focus on where you’re at, what others need and listen to conversation, but something keeps pulling you off daydreaming as if a stronger force was capturing your mind? What if that distraction is providing important pieces of information you need now in order to make important connections? Yet the day is filled with what appears as irrelevant activities? And the meetings or the conversations appear logical and reliable, yet something is off. Use this time to let your mind disengage a bit from the normal pressures, open up to the messages coming down to you now. AN INTERCESSION IS DESCENDING EVERYWHERE.
August 10 Mercury at 28* Leo oppose Jupiter at 28* Aquarius You are working and being responsible, however, your imagination and thoughts might be elsewhere all day. Has some news or conversation captured your attention AND challenging you to accept or embrace a new idea, a new way of perceiving something so important it’s time to imagine how you could realize it? Or, are you challenged as to how to handle this new piece of information?
August 10 -14 Mars at 8-10* Virgo inconjunct at Saturn at 9* Aquarius and square Nodes. Irritating news and information comes at us which seems disjointed, calculated or impossible. Use your filters and intuition these days to sift through conversations which are not making sense, as if there is something else which needs to be considered, but you won’t get it from the same source. Sometimes finances are involved with the square to Nodes. It is possible complications over finances, frustrations, out of balance or a need to shift and change plans, or experience a delay with something could happen. Unexpected problems are set to descend, yet at the last minute, somehow it all gets dissolved!
Action is taken to fix, repair, engage in a project or become involved with someone or something that has the potential of being a big problem, and there can be some delays, incongruencies with this attempt to be part of helping. yet feeling CUT OFF. The Incongruency might be between you and the other person or people, they love your support, but are caught up in anxiety over something and are not all there.
August 14 Sun at 22* Leo inconjunct Neptune at 22* Pisces The week is good for personal achievements, yet once more we have a disjointed inconvenient situation with mysterious happenings, unexplainable mishaps or lack of communication, shifts and changes in someone’s posture and statements – no one knows quite what to do – what is the course of action to take, and who is correct and who is crazy?
What is the most important thing on your mind to achieve this week? Get that done, and realize minor inconveniences with others and possible financial issues could appear frustrating. Catch up time from past setbacks and forge ahead confidently is what is upon all of us now. Keep pressing on. Honesty is what matters more than anything. Push nervousness aside.
August 9 – 13 Venus at 22 -27* Virgo oppose Neptune, trine Pluto, inconjunct Jupiter Venus represents our friendships, love, our values, what we treasure in life – things which bring us satisfaction and fulfillment. It is a planet responsible for social connections – drawing people close to us. It can rule our money and assets, our possessions, the things we love and value more than anything, also our expenses and purchases. Venus brings to us what we need…has to do with our belongings, our “stuff, but also our personal friendships and the people we belong with. With the opposition, we could be temporarily opposed, challenged in one or many of these areas. Disappointments need to be processed. The necessity to let go of things that simply aren’t going to change. Moral examples or more education, explanations seem to be spoken in vain.
This week, Venus is in Virgo and its theme is to love your order, your standards, love your pickiness as how things should be, and get your stuff organized….Venus in Virgo tends to all the details, all the small stuff….where to put your stuff, how is your money, where are your things and do you have what you need right now….who is close to you, who do you love and care for more than anything. Stay in contact and express your truth to others you care for. Venus in Virgo edits and analyzes our loved ones. Caring for those near us is natural, and this cycle might push you to edit someone, but because of the opposition and inconjunct, it’s delicate.
The emphasis is upon the utilitarian, pragmatic and practical issues of our everyday life, yet not being clear as to how to interpret certain signs and directions – Venus could inspire our motivations for clarity with business arrangements and financial assessments as to where you’re at, what still needs to be handled, or what practical goals do you still need to reach. If you do your part, the powers that be will intervene and protect you.
Social and business interactions are productive and satisfying because of Venus trine Pluto in Earth signs. This week brings accomplishments and breakthroughs with physical practical grounded planning and the details which must be discussed or walked through in order to get every single thing right. Try to take care of these issues, especially doing it with those close to you, shopping, organizing, etc…before Venus inconjuncts Jupiter in Aquarius on August 14. However, you still might be annoyed or concerned over some issues within your relationships, whether it is work, a project, or personal.
From the 13th – 15th, plans get disrupted by unexpected situations, so the days up to that date are best for getting together with others and finishing projects, resolving personal issues, handling money and making purchases or even having the luxury to take some time off.
Venus opposes Neptune is telling us there are a few things to guard against, such as being too susceptible to being fooled by someone close, or misleading pressures to purchase, invest in a partner or trust certain situations. Remain logical, analyzing and reviewing based upon facts and grounded common sense now. Keep positive and trust in time, things will work out.
August 10, 11, 12th are the strongest dates for getting on top of your personal and business expectations in some fashion.
THE NEW MOON IN LEO
The New Moon theme picks up from last week’s Sun/Mercury in Leo oppose Saturn theme square Uranus, but now we move into the Sun/Moon Conjunction with Mercury enhancing a significantly higher impact on this theme. In other words, the launching of the courageous, confident approach to our lives even in spite of anxiety and unwanted situations which can or have created disruptions from the Uranus square, and the challenges we face ahead of us which might appear too hard, blocked opposing us or restrictive with very little insight as to how to break through these restrictions are now more real and harder. We are challenged to make better decisions because even more seems to be riding on our astuteness.
Courage, self sufficiency, realizing your power to perform is more important than every now. Remember, anything is possible to achieve and it is within yourself.
Bring to the forefront of your world, the courage and confidence to take command of your life situation with that same energy we see within the Lion.
We need this quality now more than ever, to release our highest potential all around us in the world. Because the New Moon is in opposition to Saturn, turn around all limitations, blocks, obstacles and social pressures, social alienation or group expectations put upon you to one of confident leadership, courage and standing up for what you know is your path. Take command of situations rather than be oppressed by Saturn’s attempt to force confirming. You are the Sun, Saturn is the test.
Last weekend we found these same planets square to the Moon/Uranus in Taurus….which might have created an unexpected personal disruption. Uranus in this position can create alienating feelings, rejection and sudden eruptions. There can also be a clearing of energy where difficult things come to light.
This week is the time to repair, get things straightened out and do it with patience, love and forthright conversations. This is not the time to be separate from loved ones, nor have conflict or misunderstandings. There is still a strong potential of environmental, economic or physical disruptions going around, so be close and value each other during these times.
The big picture is this: Take charge of your life. You know what is right and wrong. Don’t cave under pressure or the anxiety any number of things could cause within you. Push it away and see clearly ahead what are the challenges and begin believing and reminding self, that power of love and fierceness to make it, is inside of me, and we will succeed in our goals. Personal breakthroughs like a domino effect, begins to intensify encouraging global breakthroughs. Everyone is impacted by having just one more day and one more day and one more day of accomplishments. Hang in there, it’s working regardless of what it may seem.
The MOVIE NIGHT is a favorite of mine – however, I may have posted this once before, I simply can’t remember. I’m going to put it in this Stardrops because, it plays on the theme of COURAGE, BRAVERY, LEADERSHIP AND TRUSTING YOUR GUT regardless of the people around you pressuring you.
Please Enjoy!
