Cosmic Insights – August 22, 2022

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of August 22, 2022, begins with the Sun rising up through the golden magnificent rays of heartwarming Leo, illuminating an opportunity to generously share thoughts and feelings that have the power to transcend the dark shadows of life with joy for the gift of it.  The key is to have the courage and confidence to shine your individual light for the world to receive with unconditional love.

Meanwhile, the Moon is treading in the deep end of an emotional pond of feelings that may be dredging up sensitive and vulnerable insecurities regarding the manifestation of emotional hopes, wishes, and dreams.  As swirling emotional memories take one back into the past, there may be a tendency to throw caution to the winds of change on the horizon and plunge ahead into uncertain territory if friends or like-minded others change their minds about previous plans or commitments.  

However, as the Moon in Cancer is moving away from Jupiter retrograde in Aries, the feeling to take a leap of faith based on emotions without knowing the outcome is a huge temptation to resist, so the willingness to bet on yourself may pay off in a big way when Jupiter begins to move forward in mid-November.  The key is to trust your gut instincts about moving forward with others, or striking out on your own.

Whereas, the caveat is that Mercury has begun its upcoming retrograde cycle in September with a preview of what may have to be reviewed, retracted, or revised, so gather the information needed to take action now, which will serve as guidance and direction until March 2023.  While the current Mercury retrograde cycle began on August 20 and will conclude on October 16, the effects will continue until the Spring of 2023, as Mars has just driven into dualistic and flighty Gemini, where it will go into its shadow and September 3, and retrograde on October 30; remaining until March 2023.  

Thus all areas governed by Mercury are in the zone of action and reaction including vehicles, travel by air or car, scheduling, technology, communication, sales, commerce, and possible a resurgence of illnesses related to the lungs and breathing.  There may also be more accidents and injuries to the shoulders, hands, and eyes.  

The astrological signs that will experience this period of time more significantly are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.  However, the key to making decisions with multiple options going in different directions is to align conscious actions with clear information, review options and choose the one that has more flexibility, become conscious of unconscious emotional feelings driving behaviors, and believe in yourself instead of what others believe about you!

If all else fails, schedule some downtime off to have some fun, meditate for peace or take long naps to rest and rejuvenate your energy, refrain from sharing personal information on social media or with others that would share it without permission, and know the details of what you are talking about, or it may come back to bite you!

Later in the evening, the Sun walks briskly into meticulous and methodical Virgo with a long list of projects to complete, ideas to communicate, and plans to be more health conscious with nutrition and exercise activities.  The caveat is that the supervisor of Virgo is Mercury, which is also traveling through Virgo with the mandate that work comes first, so taking care of the physical body may go on the back burner leaving an open door for mental and physical burnout and exhaustion.  So the key is to take care of mental and physical health first, pace yourself accordingly, and be patient with delays that may very well be blessings in disguise.  

While the Mercury retrograde cycle is on the short end of the spectrum, the Mars retrograde cycle will be around for several months.

Shortly after the work day begins on August 24, the Moon prances into Leo with an emotional need for attention and may engineer some drama trauma that steals the show from working!  However, the Sun is the king or queen or Leo and as it is currently residing in nonsensical Virgo, the curtain will come down on the play as quickly as it went up, without a word spoken.  The quick stride into the building and the discerning look of authority will send others scurrying for cover before the chastising can begin!

On the evening of August 25, Mercury dances into relationship-oriented Libra, offering a brief respite from the scrutiny of Virgo’s watchful mind, to cultivate relationships with negotiations, compromises, an attitude of fairness, and hand-holding if that is what it takes to get the job done.  While it is an opportunity to shore up personal relationships by clearing the air of discontent, it is imperative that each person takes equal responsibility to maintain the relationship with clear communication.

The emotional climate shifts gears on the evening of August 26 as the Moon joins the Sun in Virgo during the balsamic lunar phase, offering an opportunity to communicate emotional feelings with precise clarity that leaves no room for vague misunderstandings or misinterpretation.  However, the balsamic lunar phase is characteristic of letting go of the emotional past to clear the slate for the potential of new beginnings of the new moon cycle in Virgo on August 27, 2022. Just remember to let the past go gently, without a critical review of what could have, should have been.
