Weekly Astrology August 1-9, 2015

From August 1^st to the 9^th we experience the gathering momentum of powerful changes August has for us. Long standing projects can be brought to conclusion now.  This may mean changing the scope of our vision.

1^st – Saturday – Sun Quincunx Neptune, Sun Contra-parallel Saturn – Big ideas can prompt us to move in a new direction.  Our confidence may be high but the reality of preexisting obligations can take the “wind out of our sails”.  Great things are possible if we are patient.

2^nd – Sunday – Saturn turns direct, Mercury Trine Uranus – Try something new.  Creative breakthroughs are the order of the day. Say “yes” to life and fears seem to vanish.

3^rd – Monday – Jupiter Square Saturn – Dreaming about a better future is a good beginning but check foundations.  Underlying assumptions may be out of step with the fast moving world around us.

4^th – Tuesday – Jupiter Sesquiquadrate Pluto, Venus Conjunct Jupiter, Venus Sesquiquadrate Pluto – Take bold steps.  There are things we have put off doing; today is the day. Put fear behind and be happy.

5^th – Wednesday – Venus Square Saturn, Venus Semi-sextile Mars –  Halfway measures are better than no movement at all. Bold steps are out of step.  We need to find the courage to go forward a little bit regardless of the perceived consequences.

6^th – Thursday – Sun Quincunx Pluto, Mars Trine Saturn, Mercury Conjunct Venus, Mercury Square Saturn, Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pluto, Mercury Semi-sextile Mars – We have good ideas and an ambitious agenda; progress comes through following our heart.  It is a good day to share ideas with sensitive friends and associates.

7^th – Friday –  Mercury Conjunct Jupiter, Mars Semi-sextile Jupiter, Mercury enters Virgo, Mercury Parallel Jupiter – This is the day where we are most clearly aligned with our own higher purpose.  And, we can quickly finish one set of intentions and start in a whole new direction.

8^th – Saturday – Mars enters Leo – Nervous energy can have us hopping from one endeavor to another.  However, if we stay true to what we really want, we can invigorate our major task at hand.

9^th – Sunday – If we are patient and accept minor setbacks in stride, then we will move forward and pick up a few lucky breaks along the way.
