Dear NightFall Astrology readers,
We’re coming out of the intense energy of the 2nd full moon in Aquarius we’ve had this year, making it a super rare blue moon, and Uranus stationing retrograde. When Uranus stations, there’s always heightened nervousness and tension in the air. I have good news for you, though: Uranus is starting to move backwards this week, making us rethink and reevaluate our self-worth, our money, and our relationships. Hang on because it will be a long ride: Uranus will remain retrograde until January 2022.
“Did you say relationships and money, Theodora”? Why yes, I did! These 2 topics are definitely constant major themes in our lives, really. And this week, we’ll get the chance to harmonise, stabilise and heal them through pragmatism and communication. Here’s your weekly horoscope.
- We start the week with Venus in Libra (its home sign), making an extremely harmonious aspect – a Grand Trine – with Saturn retrograde in Aquarius and the North Node in Gemini. This energy will be ongoing from Monday, August 23rd, until Wednesday, August 25th.
This is an auspicious and karmic period for a gentle reality check in our business and romantic relationships. Venus in Libra can be quite starry-eyed, and Saturn’s pragmatism will help all of us ground ourselves in our interactions and perception. Looking at the full picture always avoids unwanted future hiccups. Have that important talk with your long-term partner, or tie those loose ends with that special someone from the past or even a friend, ask for that raise or promotion you’ve been thinking about for a few months now, stop the leakage in your budget…
Stop prolonging the honeymoon phase and take a deeper look.
Trines are positive but also lazy energy; don’t procrastinate, do it now!
This energy will be most supportive of Libra, Gemini, Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo.
- From August 24th until August 26th, exalted and analytical Mercury in Virgo will be opposing dreamy Neptune retrograde and the Moon in Pisces. This is another “remove your rose-coloured” glasses tense aspect. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus and can often make us fall into illusions. As these planets will be opposing each other, the key here is to avoid being on cloud 9 or too criticising and nitpicky.
This aspect can bring a lot of confusion in our daily communications, so make sure to double-check any information you share or receive and think twice before making any important or life-changing decisions.
This opposition will be most challenging for Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius, and Gemini.
- From August 25th until August 28th, Mercury in Virgo will be trining (harmonious aspect) Pluto retrograde in Capricorn. Remember that raise or promotion I talked about earlier? This is the time to finally utter the words to your boss! Your persuasion skills will be off the charts with detective-like and sharp Pluto enhancing Mercury’s analytical mind. This will boost your confidence to showcase and defend your value and skills.
The same can also be applied to your friendships and romantic relationships. This aspect can give us the confidence to show our vulnerabilities to our significant others, which will ultimately heal any hidden or unaddressed issues. This is also a time when we’ll be thinking more intensely about our health; the perfect moment to find our inner drive and motivation to kick a bad habit out of our lives or even start those therapy sessions that will finally put us on the path of healing. Don’t be afraid of your shadow self; integrate it!
On a more mundane level, inter-State negotiations about various armed conflicts (such as the one in Afghanistan) may have the chance to be finally started or furthered.
This aspect will be most helpful to Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus, Scorpio, and Pisces.
- From August 27th until August 29th, the Sun in Virgo will be squaring the nodal axis (North Node in Gemini and South Node in Sagittarius). This challenging and karmic aspect can bring difficult and unpleasant information about our health into our consciousness. Maybe you’ve had a certain limiting or false belief about your ability to deal with a particular health issue, and now, the Universe is nudging you into letting it go and starting your healing journey.
On a collective level, this can translate into more travel restrictions and issues related to the ongoing pandemic and challenges around the different treatments (vaccines and drugs that have been and continue to be at the heart of the current medical and scientific research).
Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces will be facing the highest tension with this aspect.
Bear in mind that this is a general horoscope and is in no way your personal horoscope.
