Awareness through Astrology

Cosmic Insights – August 16, 2021 August 15, 2021

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of August 16, 2021, begins with the Sun rising in joyous, self-confident Leo, illuminating an opportunity to create a balance between the spiritual and physical aspects of life with a sense of equilibrium.  The significance of this decision is important in the light of individual desires to shine one’s creative light, in the midst of the expectations of others to fulfill their desires instead of your own; resulting in a potential power struggle.

However, Venus the queen of relating has just danced into its power zone of Libra, where it gracefully handles agendas with a charming smile and a negotiating attitude.  Thus the key to maintaining individual balance in relationships during the next three weeks is the willingness to compromise on lesser priorities with win/win solutions.  While you won’t get everything you desire, you will more than likely receive what you need if you play fairly.

Meanwhile, the Moon is moving through adventuresome Sagittarius with a huge emotional desire to take off for sights unknown before the air travel window becomes more restricted, as Jupiter and Saturn are retrograde in Aquarius; followed by Uranus in Taurus on August 19th.

That doesn’t mean that plans are deterred for the journey, it just turns up the volume for the Moon to persuade the Sun in Leo during this first quarter lunar phase to jump on the bandwagon and go for it!  Jupiter the king of Sagittarius is retrograde in Aquarius so there is nothing standing in the way, and if they leave quickly they will be gone before anyone can offer advice to stay!

Of course, there may be consequences on August 18, when the Moon wakes up in serious, authoritative Capricorn who is not impressed with unapproved trips!  Now that Venus is in Libra, the Moon in Capricorn also has to contend with challenges to career decisions from significant others, so it is not in the mood for flighty choices.  Fortunately, by the end of the workday, harmony is restored with a demonstration of hard work, information leading to congruent actions, and an attitude of gratitude!

However, later in the evening, the emotional energy shifts as the lunar phase becomes gibbous with an inherent emotional wobble.  Thus, the emotional climate may become moody with a distinct coolness as career concerns are raised with an unknowing about the future.  Fortunately, before the day ends Mercury and Mars unite in Virgo with the power to sway the concerns back to a state of equilibrium with rational logic and a plan of action.

This momentary respite will be appreciated more on the evening of August 19, when the Sun in Leo confronts Jupiter retrograde in Aquarius about the progress of creative projects, romantic interests in friends, and the educational affairs of children; resulting in a dramatic showdown that could escalate into a volatile situation.  

In the predawn hours of August 20, the emotional climate shifts significantly as it bumps into erratic Aquarius with a need for personal space to process feelings about relationships with significant others and friendships.  The daily ruler of Aquarius is Saturn who is currently retrograde in Aquarius and then Uranus who is also retrograde in Taurus, leaving the Moon to consort with Venus in Libra about relationships.  Luckily, the Moon in Aquarius and Venus in Libra work well together, so there is an opportunity to gain clarity about personal space and self-values in relationships. 

That clarity will be very important on August 22, when the Sun in Leo opposes the Moon in Aquarius, illuminating the quality of relationships through detached emotions which may precipitate an emotional drama trauma if either person feels that they are not appreciated, loved, or paid enough attention to!
