Weekly Astrological Insights: August 9-15, 2010

Monday, August 9

This evening we are graced by the potential-in-the-invisible New Moon. This month’s lunar event occurs in the sign of Leo. To read more about what this may yield, including wellness suggestions, see this post.

In addition to the soon-to-be New Moon energy that we are being quietly illuminated by, we are still in the stream of Venus alignments today. With the planet of relationships and beauty opposing Jupiter and squaring Pluto, these areas of our lives continue to be a  highlighted focus of our personal journeys.

What we may find is that tensions in relationships may yield great lessons as to inherent power struggles that may exist, which had until now gone unnoticed. Taking a step back to survey what it is that we value may evidence a deeper understanding of just what it is we need to experience heart-felt grace and pleasure.

Today yields a powerful opportunity to make intentions related to how we may want to express more joy in our lives. That’s because we are in the early moments of the Leo New Moon.

Some questions to reflect upon include:

  • In which areas of my life do I want to more radiantly shine?
  • Is it possible to give more freely of my generous heart?
  • How can I infuse my life with more playfulness and joy?
  • Would surrounding myself with more music and art add to the inner luster that I feel?

Thursday, August 12

The first part of the day may feel a bit untethered as the Moon is void of course (VOC) until 3:42 pm PDT. Float deeply into the landscapes of inner knowingness while also watching not to drift off into an ungrounded space. That’s because once the Moon moves into Libra at 3:42 pm PDT, it will connect right in with the early-cardinal-inhabiting planets; over the next five hours it dialogues with Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto. Therefore, what was a potentially plodding-along-doing-just-fine day may find itself transformed into an actively-engaged-and-on-one’s toes-trying-to-seek-harmony evening.

Friday, August 13

On today’s astrological agenda:

* The Libra Moon conjoins Venus and Mars, spotlighting what we love and how we go about pursuing our desires.

* With Vesta conjoining Saturn, we may more appreciably connect into ways in which we can give of of ourselves in selfless service without giving ourselves away.

* And in the realm of the personal is the political: Uranus is on the Aries Point, returning to Pisces at 8:31 pm PDT.

Uranus entered Aries on May 27, returns to boundaryless Pisces today for a seven-month swim, before re-ingressing to Aries on March 12, 2011. For those with planets in very late Pisces–or the other mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius–expect the unexpected, break-out-of-the-mold energies of Uranus to be more highly visible over the coming months, potentially in similar ways experienced in March through May of this year.

On a collective level, this time period may usher in redresses to events that occurred in the spring. We may also see technological advances related to drugs, immune system health, and our waterways (fingers crossed!) as well as new awareness around dreams, the subconscious, and mysticism making headway.

Saturday, August 14

Find beauty today.

Even if things seem challenging, look for something that crosses your path—a flower, the sunset, an exchange with a friend, a vision in a day dream—that delights you with grace and puts a feeling of art in your heart.

Sunday, August 15

Today we may find ourselves fighting for what we believe in. We can connect deep into our sense of empowerment, use the wisdom that innately resides within, and pursue along the path of what we find to be fair and just. Remember: where there’s a will there’s a way.
