Intro:

This is where I find myself at the moment. I’m not in the exact same situation as I once was, but my current situation is giving me a deeper grasp on where I have failed to implement my lessons fully. I’m not mad about it because I’ve done this long enough to know it’s for my own good.

This week we are starting to accept the in-between time. We no longer want to be where we are, but we understand there is integration that must happen to get where we would rather be. It’s a great week to ease into trusting the timing and developing patience.

All those storms I was speaking of have already taken place. Now it’s time to clean up the damage. It’s once that is done that you can rebuild and make it beautiful again. So that is the vibe here. We have accepted the damage, and are cleaning it up with excitement for what we build next.

Monday, August 26th:

~The Moon in Gemini square the Sun in Virgo

We start our day so attached emotionally to an idea or conversation. And at some point a reality check hits. It’s time to release whatever information that is taking up space in your head, but is not necessary for your plan. Don’t fret over what will happen when you make your next move, what others will think or say. That’s an unwise use of your energy.

The Sun in Virgo means our ego wants the details. We want to dot all our i’s and cross all our t’s. But our inner world just want to jump on every exciting conversation or idea. Sometimes it’s okay to sit with our epiphanies. The inner work is work.

The in-between as necessary as the external expression.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tuesday, August 27th:

~Venus in Virgo trine Uranus in Taurus

~Moon in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces

~Moon in Gemini conjunct Jupiter in Gemini

~Moon in Gemini sextile Mercury in Leo

You are finally getting breathroughts on the next move in your relationships, the money you make, the pleasure you seek out in life. A sudden, unexpected resources shows up to make your plan easier to commit to, but the emotional work is not done.

You may still feel like something is missing, but all that’s really needed is your full emotional investment. It’s a day to make sure you’re viewing things from a higher perspective. Don’t lose the bigger picture seeking out details that just haven’t arrived yet.

Have conversations with people who respect you enough to tell you the truth. Be open to revising. Believe in your luck and abundance deeply. Sit in it and bask in it. You may find yourself in a situation where it’s hard to keep your faith in the Universe and yourself, but that is the perfect time to do it.

Almost all the work of the in-between is internal. Many of us already know our plan, our next move, but we are being forced to trust the timing of that next move. That also requires a lot of inner work and understanding. The Moon is the internal work. In Gemini have conversations with yourself. Convince yourself of your ideas and plans.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wednesday, August 28th:

~Moon in Gemini square Venus in Virgo

~Moon in Gemini Square Neptune in Pisces

~Moon moves into Cancer

~Moon in Cancer sextile the Sun in Virgo

~Venus in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces

~Mercury stations direct!

You are going to feel as if the day is non-stop busy. You’re making decisions left and right, talking to so many different people, doing whatever needs to be done. By the time evening comes you’re just ready to sit and loaf. You do not want to make even one more move.

It’s a good night to tap into creative visualization, but not romanticism. We aren’t wearing rose-colored glasses. You do need a bit of idealism to manifest and usher in the new, but do not allow yourself to idealize a less than ideal situation and revert back on your plan.

You may feel like there is a turning point by the end of the day. As if you’ve rounded a corner. You don’t have all the energy in the world, but something definitely shifts. It’s one thing to feel the turning point. It’s another to find the courage to actually pivot. Plan on things taking time, and work on building up a reservoir of patience.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thursday, August 29th:

~Moon in Cancer trine Saturn in Pisces

~Venus enters Libra and trines Pluto in Aquarius

This feels like the best day of the week. If you’ve been taking my advice and developing the stoicism needed to integrate and plan, today is going to be a good day. You’re feeling safe and protected emotionally because you’ve understood that is your responsibility.

You’re committed to a plan that nurtures you and feels aligned with your soul. Venus is finally moving into her home sign in a trine to Pluto. So whatever you’ve unearthed about your relationships is now easier transformed and reborn.

There is this deep emotional acceptance of where we are. Of using the present moment to usher in the future we desire. You’re having empathy for yourself. Desiring deep changes to relationships, to money, to that which brings you pleasure. Libra is a balancing of the light and dark.

Don’t get caught up in a good vibes only aesthetic. The relationship reckoning I wrote about is now getting easier. Even if you’re still in those relationships you have a plan to cut them loose. You know what you need to do, and this is you committing to doing it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday, August 30th:

~Moon in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus

~Moon in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces

~Moon moves into Leo and opposes Pluto in Aquarius

~Moon in Leo sextile Venus in Libra

Okay, so maybe this is a really good day, too. I’ll take two good days in a row! There is an unexpected resource that allows you to nurture yourself or your plan in a new way. Don’t over-inflate it, but use it with intention to go within and expand it.

It is easier to believe in yourself and the Universe. To pat yourself on the back, even if shame tries to rear its way in. You being authentic may not always bring the reaction you hope from others, but their reaction is not based on the validity of your authenticity. It’s based on their personal experiences and biases.

The devil is a metaphor for the fears that you allow to lead you into escapism. We are done allowing fear to push us into that place of avoidance and anxiety. We can’t change what we keep escaping.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saturday, August 31st:

The Moon is still in Leo and is moving toward a sextile to Jupiter in Gemini, but there are no real aspects Saturday. Even though nothing new is happening we do seem to have this expanding sense of hope.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday, September 1st:

~The exact Moon in Leo sextile to Jupiter in Gemini

~Moon in Leo conjunct Mercury in Leo

~Moon in Leo square Uranus in Taurus

~Uranus in Taurus goes Rx at 27 Taurus

~Pluto Rx finally moves back into Capricorn

~Moon in Leo sextile Mars in Gemini

~Moon moves into Virgo

We start September off with a powerful punch! We are finding it easier to keep hope alive. However, others may not be finding it as easy. You may be having a great time, talking away, making plans, and someone shocks you with their reaction or response. Take it seriously.

Because after that square to Uranus he moves into Rx. This is a period of time where we are taking all of the Taurus lessons we’ve integrated since the start of the year and making changes as necessary. We can take stock of how much we’ve grown, and how sudden of shocking it is or was. This is a period of revision toward greater liberation.

You may need to improvise and that’s okay. Pluto moving back into Capricorn is a big deal. It’s like a season finale. What house is Capricorn for you and how much has it changed since 2008? This Rx in particular is going to cover dates from 2020 through 2022.

These are some final tweaks to the structures that you hope will support your legacy. We’ve had major uprooting and transformation in the structure of the world since 2008. This has required massive shifts in our personal lives as well. It’s a great time to think about the intentions you want to set on next week’s New Moon in Virgo.
