The Transits explained

August will an intense month, but not quite like July was. Last month felt very heavy and may have caused people to pause and feel as if they lack the energy to move forward in any direction due to Mercury being in retrograde. The good news is Mercury stationed direct on August first so you should feel that energy returning back to you. You should also start seeing people who have been MIA kind of pop back up again or you yourself might be that person. Do not feel bad for being down this last month as we have all been feeling it. There is a heaviness continuing into August but this month will be a month for growth and positive change.

The culprit for this “heaviness” is due to the retrograde Jupiter squaring Neptune which is also in retrograde while retrograde Saturn is sextile Neptune. While, I know that was a big mouth full of a sentence, that basically means we have this triangle of retrograde planets interacting with each other. Saturn, Neptune, And Jupiter. This is causing us to really reflect inwards at our growth. You may be feeling like you are questioning your identity and your purpose. You may be feeling like you need to buckle down and get serious and that there is something “BIG” coming. This is a part of a cycle that we are feeling right now with these outer planet retrogrades.

That heaviness is going to be lifted a little bit on August 11th when Jupiter stations direct and will be moving out of retrograde motion. Jupiter is the planet of spiritual growth, so now would be the time to act upon all the things you have been reflecting on regarding your spiritual growth. You may feel a sense of clarity like you now have direction and this is a wonderful time to start that new project you’ve been thinking of or finally opening communication with that deity that you have been thinking of reaching out to. Open those lines of communication and feel spiritual progress start to come back.

August 11th is a big day, though because even though the Jovial jupiter is stationing direct, Uranus will be going into retrograde and remain retrograde for the next 6th months. Uranus is in the sign of Taurus so you may feel a big halt on your finances. This may be self inflicted, though as retrogrades usually turn the energy of that planet inwards and let us reflect on that area of life. During this time and over the next 6 months you may really start to pay close attention to the way you spend money. This is a good time to spend wisely and if you don’t need it, don’t buy it! Things are not guaranteed during a Uranus Retrograde so you may end up with buyers remorse or have a bad financial deal with no way to return or get a refund.

Uranus is also likely to cause you to feel a strong need to be autonomous. Uranus is a very rebellious planet so if you are feeling like you are trapped or being taken advantage of, this time may start the 6 month cycle to regaining your freedom. This is a time of great change and it may not be so much a personal change but a foundational change. We will most likely start to feel this not so much with ourselves but in the world around us including government. Keep an eye on the news on this day as this is the day of a shift in something far bigger than ourselves.

August 13th, on a lighter note, Venus will be Conjunct the sun! This usually only happens about two times a year and one when venus is in retrograde. Since venus is direct this is a great day for love and connections. The week before, the week of, and the week after is a great time to jump start that relationship. You may find the beginnings of a relationship at this time, it wouldn’t be that surprising. Engagements, declarations of love, and marriages will be blessed if they happen around this time period.

The energy will be shifting from the proud Leo to the focused Virgo starting august 18th when Mars enters virgo. Coupled with the Uranus retrograde in Taurus and the “heavy” energy I mentioned earlier, you will start to feel it as your focus shifts to becoming more organized, more helpful, more in tune with nature, and seeking balance. This will come to its peak towards the end of the month when Juno and The Sun enters Virgo on August 23rd causing a virgo stellium in the sky. Take this day to really soak up that productivity and get some work done! You won’t regret it.
