The celestial week of August 28, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in industrious mentally adept Virgo with a keen awareness to balance the mentally active thinking mind with the power of imagination and/or visualization to experience an opportunity of the oneness of Consciousness as a clear path of knowledge and understanding.
Mercury is the CEO of Virgo and the fleet-footed planetary messenger is also moving back through the degrees of Virgo that have already been traveled to reinforce the power of working or utilizing unconscious emotional information and conscious mental information in a Spirit of unity to balance the scales of consciousness available within, which can create a greater quality of life conditions externally.
Mercury in Virgo is also currently aligned with Uranus in Taurus, and the Moon and Pluto in Capricorn with a grand opportunity to take advantage of unexpected changes to transform emotional energy with the power of Pluto and the Moon in Capricorn that can lead to evolutionary enlightenment.
The key is to pay attention to the value of what is often taken for granted in the environment with gratitude and appreciation for the information embodied in the value.
Meanwhile, the Moon in Capricorn is finishing up a powerful meeting with Pluto in Capricorn with an emotional commitment to nurture the process of transformation of unconsciously giving power to perceived external authoritative illusions of the power of others or circumstances to control the nature and experiences of personal reality.
Shortly after the meeting, the Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course until mid-morning (meaning it is done engaging with other planets until it moves into the next astrological sign. Thus, it is taking a break until it boards an emotionless 747 in Aquarius for a couple of days as an observer with emotional detachment from the expectations of others to fulfill the tasks and responsibilities of Saturn while it is retrograde in Pisces.
Yet, the Moon in Aquarius intuitively knows that a few days of downtime will offer a fresh perspective and intuitive insights to resolve potential issues of relating on the horizon as Mars has just driven into negotiating Libra with cooperative ideas, solutions, and agendas.
The caveat is that the Moon in Aquarius observes everything on the table with emotionally detached insights that fill in details about resources and commitments that have been currently overlooked or undisclosed. Another caveat is that Mars in Libra can be passive-aggressive while navigating boundaries which could lead to an uncomfortable position when the Moon in Aquarius responds with a, “whatever . . . take it or leave it,” attitude of detachment.
The energy of the lunar landscape shifts on the morning of August 30, as the Moon drifts off into dreamy, imaginative Pisces as it continues to wobble off course in the gibbous lunar phase of the ongoing Virgo new moon cycle. Yet, it is also a perfect time to realign the vision of the intentions of the cycle with a redefined version before the full moon phase occurs later in the evening as a blue moon.
A blue moon cycle is a second full moon in the same month and only occurs roughly every two and a half years. Thus, there is a suggestion that something rare or unlikely may happen as an event of conscious/unconscious oneness. Therefore, the key is to pay conscious attention to unconscious feelings about decisions and/or the direction to follow regarding the manifestation of hopes, wishes, and dreams! As the movie, Field of Dreams suggested, if you build it they will come!
On the morning of September 1, the Moon shifts gear into fast-paced Aries and may impulsively throw caution to the winds of change regarding relationships and resources, as its first planetary encounter is a face-off with Mars in Libra!
Thus, a proactive measure of protection may be a series of emotional warnings as the Moon in Aries may be very abrupt with others if they feel that their personal space is being trespassed. So, forewarned is forearmed to pay attention to impatient attitudes from others or oneself as a message that some personal me-time is needed for all concerned, instead of attempting to push the envelope with a charming demeanor and covert agendas, or the attention received may not be the quality desired!

The celestial week of August 21, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in dignified Leo, illuminating an opportunity for transformation and a new way of being as a master of creating personal reality. The caveat is that the Sun is involved in two yod configurations with a fated quality related to attitude adjustments and variable choices to achieve that transformation.
In the first yod (a configuration of three planets in a powerful energetic dynamic) the Sun is engaged in a favorable interaction with the Moon in Libra, suggesting an opportunity to balance emotional energy and values with an open heart as the ego takes a step back from controlling resources and relationships through emotional agendas and illusions of grandeur. The other attitude adjustment required to achieve that emotional balance and which illuminates the purpose of one’s identity lies in the recognition of unconscious values of unworthiness to reap the harvest of the hard work that had been done to dissolve the illusion of separation from the Spirit within is symbolized by Neptune retrograde in Pisces.
A similar dynamic is occurring with the second yod between the Sun in Leo and Neptune retrograde in Pisces along with Pluto retrograde in Capricorn which is suggestive of an opportunity to dissolve the illusion of separation from the Spirit within to experience the power of transformation as a CEO of personal reality. Whereas, the attitude adjustment required is for the Sun in Leo to humbly set the ego aside to acknowledge that the Power within is flowing through oneself, and is not the power of oneself.
Meanwhile, the Moon in Libra is also engaged in a yod formation with Uranus in Taurus and Neptune retrograde in Pisces to balance one’s emotions relative to unpredictable changes regarding resources and relationships so that relationship issues can be resolved in light of dissolving fairy tale fantasies about how it should be, instead of how it is.
As a result, an opportunity to realign emotional values of freedom in relationships can be redefined to support the chaotic upheavals being currently experienced. The key is to refrain from taking an emotional position to validate individual perspectives that may lead to a struggle for power, instead of win/win solutions.
Later in the evening, the emotional energy shifts from negotiating in a position of fairness and a willingness to communicate, to a desire for emotional space to contemplate what has been shared before taking any action, as the Moon moves into the depths of mysterious Scorpio.
The caveat is that the Moon in Scorpio becomes an emotional detective with a scrutinizing radar seeking clues to determine if there is anything hidden in the proposed solutions. As such, the Moon in Scorpio enlists Mars and Mercury in Virgo, as well as Pluto retrograde in Capricorn to take covert actions to uncover any secret details to confirm or deny what is suspected.
On the morning of August 22, Venus retrograde in Leo may awaken in a grumpy mood, preferring to stay in bed and eat breakfast, instead of having to get up and prepare it. Regardless of the charming demeanor of Venus in Leo, Jupiter in Taurus is having none of it. If Jupiter has to get up and go to work, then so does Venus! However, both can be equally stubborn and determined to rule the turn of events, so challenges on the horizon suggest that each one go their separate ways until an agreement about relationship values can be discussed and agreed upon.
Otherwise, later as the afternoon unfolds, potential challenges in the morning may become accompanied by confrontations as Mars in Virgo opposes Neptune retrograde in Pisces. While Mars in Virgo is ready to move forward with precise actions, Neptune in Pisces is not ready to do so, as an unconscious feeling is present that there is something not quite right. The key is to pay attention to the feeling, as there not be enough information available to move forward.
In the early hours of August 23, the Sun moves quickly into methodical Virgo armed with facts, figures, a nonsensical attitude, and a plan of action to clean up what has been missed while Saturn has been retrograde and is still missing in action.
Fortunately, the Sun has the support of Mercury and Mars in Virgo, Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, as well as the Moon in Scorpio and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn on board to support the plans with a detailed analysis of recommendations to cut costs and marginalize profits with an alignment of information, values, actions, encouragement, transformational power and emotional congruency.
The only caveat is that Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo later in the afternoon, so all of the necessary information may not be readily available through regular channels until September 15, when Mercury goes direct. Thus, the key is to listen to intuitive insights for directions and information relative to financial resources, health, work routines, travel, vehicles, computers, and communication.
The energy of the lunar landscape shifts significantly in the early hours of August 24, as the Moon takes a huge optimistic leap into Sagittarius before it takes another leap of faith before the Sun comes up in Virgo when the first-quarter lunar phase occurs. While the first quarter lunar phase always feels a bit risky, this one is even more so as the energy of the Moon in Sagittarius is energetically and emotionally expansive in sharp contrast to the energy of the Sun in Virgo’s position of taking no unnecessary risks. With Mercury retrograde in Virgo, it is wise to temper the emotional enthusiasm of the Moon in Sagittarius with the logical and practical rationale of the Sun in Virgo.

The celestial week of August 14, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in supremely confident Leo as it strides across the sky in all of its grandeur, illuminating an opportunity to create lines of communication with good tidings and positive messages.
While the Sun in Leo graces the sky with the dignity of a king in command of its royal subjects, it does interact with Neptune retrograde in Pisces and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, who are both adept at holding the king accountable for the decisions that go along with the authority and power of a leader. During the ongoing process of accountability, there is a yod forming between the Sun, Neptune, and Pluto which has a quality of fated destiny about it that requires attitude adjustments from the Sun to justify a position of power executed and whether it was in good faith for the highest good or a personal purpose of gain and power.
Whereas, Venus has just exchanged politically correct values with the Sun in Leo as it continues to retrograde through the rays of the Sun with a chance to restore the nature of Spirit through ceremony, rituals, and worship.
On another note, the union of Venus and the Sun on August 13, symbolized a valuable turning point in the Venus retrograde cycle. While Venus does not begin to move forward in the retrograde cycle until September 3, it does shine a proverbial light at the end of the tunnel relative to creativity, purpose, values, relating, and resources. Thus, while caution is still a safe bet about moving too quickly when making valuable decisions, it is beginning to be a bit brighter about the direction to move forward in.
Meanwhile, the Moon has also just danced onto the emotional stage of Leo and may have some difficulty in containing emotional reactions to what is being revealed behind the scenes about resources and relationships, which could precipitate an emotional drama trauma!
However, the advantage of the Moon’s position in Leo is that it is in a balsamic lunar phase with the Sun in Leo offering a window of emotional balm to let go of the intentions seeded at the recent new moon in Cancer on July 17, 2023. It is also a short window in the cycle to release habits, emotions, and others to relieve the emotional tension of the cycle in preparation for the new moon cycle in Leo on August 16.
However, a first-quarter square or a ninety-degree angle between the Sun in Leo and Uranus in Taurus on the evening of August 15, may test stress levels as the Sun in Leo could feel misunderstood relative to creativity, children, or romance as it challenges Uranus in Taurus to take a risk relative to financial resources or relationships that have become stagnant regarding a difference of values.
In the early hours of August 16, a new moon cycle in Leo occurs on the heels of the Sun/Uranus tension-filled challenges that may have been responsible for a restless night or lack of sleep may carry over into the new cycle of energy. Yet, Venus retrograde in Leo is the ruler of Uranus in Taurus so the Sun will likely have the advantage point in this match and the cycle itself. The key is to create intentions that have built-in flexible attitudes that are open to them changing before the new moon cycle ends.
Another point of consideration is all the yod formation between the Sun, Neptune, and Pluto continues to become exact and therefore more potent, an attitude adjustment relative to recognizing that the true source of power exists when the ego takes a big step back in gratitude for the gift to experience the creative power of the Master Creator. As Proverbs 16:18 cautions, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (1)
The lunar climate shifts subtly on the evening of August 16, as the Moon rides into practical Virgo on a bicycle in an effort to conserve resources and a healthy appreciation for climate concerns.
As Virgo energy is precisely aware of the value of time as well as financial resources, emotional and mental energy is also being used to seek solutions relative to the action needed to preserve a healthy work atmosphere during the trip. There is also the matter of being responsible for executing routine tasks assigned by the CEO who is currently on a leave of absence.
Fortunately, the Moon in Virgo has planetary support from Mercury in Virgo for practical ideas, Mars in Virgo for a plan of action, encouragement from Jupiter in Taurus, intuitive insights from Uranus in Taurus about sound financial values, and the right use of power from Pluto in Capricorn. In fact, with such a supportive team in place, Saturn in Pisces the current CEO may find that it has been replaced when it returns!
However, the caveat is that Mercury in Virgo went into the shadow on August 3, of an upcoming retrograde cycle on August 23, suggesting that the “best-laid plans of mice and men, often go awry!” (2)
(1) Proverbs 16:19
(2) Burns, R. & Bohne, “To A Mouse” P. (1974).

The celestial week of August 7, 2023, begins with the Sun rising up through the creative and glorious rays of Leo, illuminating an opportunity to experience joy and happiness with an energetic anticipation to celebrate with others in a festive atmosphere!
In part, it may be due to the arrival of the gibbous solar phase shortly after lunch, as the first harvest of the solar year intentions occur when the Sun reaches fifteen degrees. If the first harvest does not bear the desired fruit of those choices, there is an opportunity during the next forty-five days to realign and adjust the intentions for the next harvest period on December 21, 2023.
The key is to retain the focus on the manifestation of those intentions and revise as needed so that the true purpose of choosing intentions is to know how to create and manifest personal reality as a CEO of life!
The caveat is that a series of challenges occur over the next couple of days that can test the resolve and patience of a saint to stay on course! The first one is a recent planetary challenge between the Sun’s position in Leo as the king of the sky with Jupiter in earthly Taurus in a first-quarter square, indicating that the desires of heaven and earth may be at cross purposes now relative to a leap of faith about investing financial resources regarding the manifestation of the solar intentions for the remaining cycle. The key is to avoid an all-or-nothing position as digging one’s heels in over who is right or wrong will only accomplish a dug-in stalemate.
Meanwhile, the Moon is moving through emotionally stable Taurus with a feeling to gradually enlarge one’s vision relative to huge opportunities which have the potential to yield a huge financial return.
However, Taurus energy is governed by Venus which is currently retrograde in Leo, the astrological symbolization of gold. Thus, the emotional state of hesitation to invest financial resources in what could be a gold mine is worthy of consideration. Whereas, the common sense approach would be to determine if the potential opportunity is one of value that will stand the test of time and marketability.
Therefore, a reliable utilization of the Moon in Taurus energy is to proceed slowly without throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Instead, invest the time and emotional energy to research the validity of the value of the opportunity, the amount of resources required to invest, and an ironclad guarantee of a return yield of the investment with interest. Another important consideration now is that business partnerships may not be a good idea to pursue with Venus retrograde in Leo, and the Moon, Jupiter, and Uranus in cautious, slow-moving Taurus. It’s not that others are unreliable or unsavory, it is just the nature of the current changing nature of the energy.
Before the Sun rises on August 8, a third-quarter lunar phase occurs as the second challenging energy occurs when the Moon in Taurus engages with the Sun in Leo to take responsible actions to manifest the outcomes of the current new moon cycle in Cancer that began on July 17, 2023. However, the inherent challenge of Taurus and Leo’s energy is that both can become firmly entrenched in their respective perceptions of the necessary actions to move forward, leaving no room for compromise or negotiations to proceed.
Thus, to manifest the outcomes of the intentions of the current lunar cycle, it is vital to come to a mutual consensus about the common values of creative actions and whether they will ultimately produce steady and reliable financial results.
Lastly, another challenge occurs as the Sun rises on August 9, as Venus retrograde in Leo and Uranus in Taurus also engage in a planetary dynamic as Venus in Leo assumes a position of courage, power, and mastery to stand its ground relative to concerns about potential unpredictable financial changes on the horizon.
Similar to the energy of the third-quarter lunar phase, a determined position from Venus retrograde in Leo and Uranus in Taurus can precipitate a conflict of interest about the goals of the Venus/Uranus cycle beginning on March 20, 2023, relative to values, relating, purpose, and resources, where neither one backs down without a meet in the middle compromise.
Fortunately, shortly after the conflicts arise with breakfast, the Moon skips into conscious communicative Gemini to seek realistic guidance from Mercury in Virgo about reasonable and workable solutions. The caveat is that Mercury in Virgo is very conscientious about practical solutions regarding finances, so Uranus in Taurus may win this round!
However, make no mistake Venus in Leo has not given up, it has simply retreated to bide its time for the opportunity to charm whoever is standing in the way to move out of the way!
As August 9th appears to be challenging with conflicts throughout the day, it might be a great day to take some time off from work routines and/or working out issues with others.
As the traditional workweek ends on August 11, the Moon wades into the emotional pond of sensitive Cancer to either rinse off the emotional stress of the week or wear it as a cloak of vulnerability during the next couple of days. Yet, the power of the Moon in Cancer is to listen to what is needed to nurture the emotional quality of life or indulge in negative emotions as a badge of honor to survive them.
In the early hours of August 12, the Moon in Cancer enters into the balsamic lunar phase with the Sun in Leo with an opportunity to let go of emotional habits, emotional weight, and/or others that promote emotional distress instead of health.
As the Cancer new moon cycle is wrapping up, the experiences of this emotional cycle and the choices made to respond or react to the experiences are a preview of whether you have learned to master your emotions and therefore your personal reality, or whether they master you.
