Weekly Astrological Forecast for August 19-25

From August 19^th to the 25^th the landscape around us is changing so swiftly that it is hard to keep our balance.  Too much stimulation can make us insensitive to the uniqueness of the moment.  It is important to see the beauty in every relationship and avoid falling into a jaded attitude toward our dear ones.

19^th – Monday – Sun Semi-square Jupiter, Sun Sesquiquadrate Uranus, Venus Quincunx Neptune – Sudden shocks to the system will reset our basic physical, emotional, and mental dials.  Self-expression is fine; just make sure you leave space for other people’s creative impulses.

20^th – Tuesday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pluto, the Full Moon is at 9:45 PM EDT on the 28^th degree of Leo/Aquarius – A quick turn of events can reveal information that is important to all concerned.  Don’t be afraid to pursue a new course of action based entirely on the messages you receive now.

21^st – Wednesday – Jupiter Square Uranus, Mercury Semi-sextile Mars, Venus Semi-sextile Saturn – Tension is released and everyone seems to be momentarily more relaxed. Still, there is nervousness in the air and we all have some anticipation that there is more to come.

22^nd – Thursday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Uranus, Mercury Semi-square Jupiter, Sun Contra-parallel Saturn, Sun enters Virgo – We see more than we can accomplish.  We easily get caught between what we desire and our intuitions.  We feel we should do some things that aren’t really our first choice.  In this way we can work against ourselves.  Take care of the most practical concerns.

23^rd – Friday – Mercury enters Virgo – This day presents us with more tasks than can be completed.  Time allotment becomes a real issue.  We move closer to our goals by taking practical, measured steps.

24^th – Saturday – Venus Square Pluto, Sun Conjunct Mercury – For the moment we may find that we must do many things by ourselves.  Getting consensus seems impossible.  If we stay on a course of action that makes sense, others will eventually join in with us.

25^th – Sunday – Sun Contra-parallel Neptune, Venus Contra-parallel Uranus, Mercury Opposite Neptune, Mercury Contra-parallel Saturn – The urge to jump first and ask questions later is very seductive; however, we are really caught between our projected ideals and the basic reality of our current situation.  Wishing for a better world is good, but taking practical steps to build one is a more important act.
