Dear NightFall Astrology readers,
Brace yourselves for a week where ambition meets liberation and the courage to change takes the helm. The celestial dance of Mars trining Jupiter fuels our goals, emboldening us to embrace new ventures.
Simultaneously, the Full Moon in Aquarius signals a readiness to bid adieu to situations that drain our energy. However, Mercury’s opposition to Saturn suggests we might encounter communication roadblocks along the way. As we traverse this landscape, expect unexpected revelations and a reassessment of values.
Now, let’s delve deeper into these celestial alignments and uncover precisely what the stars have in store for us!
I. Mars trines Jupiter:
As we navigate the celestial tides from July 29th to August 4th, an astrological crescendo reverberates on August 1st when Mars in meticulous Virgo aligns in a harmonious trine with Jupiter, the benefic giant, in steady Taurus.
This celestial alignment signals magnified ambition and amplification of our higher goals. The precision of Virgo, coupled with the expansive nature of Jupiter, stirs within us a renewed sense of confidence and self-belief. Our dreams not only seem attainable but also infused with newfound vitality.
Brimming with this optimistic energy, we may find ourselves immersed in a streak of good luck, as if the universe is serendipitously aligning circumstances in our favour. We will feel urged to actualise our plans, not just as abstract thoughts but as tangible actions, leading to successful outcomes. This period could also be an opportune time for travel, allowing us to broaden our horizons physically and metaphorically.
Under this cosmic influence, our actions could resonate beyond our immediate sphere, granting us a level of social popularity. This effect can be leveraged to gain support, especially from those in influential positions. The alignment encourages a bit of calculated risk-taking, coaxing us to step outside of our comfort zones. After all, under this auspicious aspect, bold moves could prove to be our winning strategy.
Moreover, Mars trining Jupiter is a green light for launching new endeavours. If there’s a project you’ve been contemplating, now is the time to take the plunge. With Jupiter’s benefic influence, these ventures are likely to receive a warm reception and, perhaps, the much-needed support from those who matter.
As we journey through this week, we’ll be navigating a terrain where aspirations meet opportunity, all under the watchful gaze of the celestial bodies. The stars are aligning for us to seize our dreams – let’s embrace the momentum and march forward!
This alignment will be most auspicious for Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn placements.
II. Full Moon in Aquarius:
As the Full Moon infuses the sky, its energy stirs a sense of readiness for change within us. The culmination of a situation that has been sapping our vitality and resources is within sight, and the prospect of liberation beckons. The parting feels inevitable, yet it is ultimately our choice to make. Communication, however, may prove challenging during this time.
This celestial event is happening on August 1st at 8:31 PM (CET), with the Sun and Moon in exact opposition in the signs of Leo and Aquarius.
The Sun, in its dignified position in the first decan of Leo, exudes confidence and strength, lending a positive aspect to this Full Moon. However, Saturn’s co-rulership over this portion of Leo introduces a more sombre, sobering energy to the mix. The zodiac’s connection to the Five of Wands tarot card, a symbol of competitive performance under scrutiny, adds a structural layer to this complexity. Conversely, the Moon occupies the first decan of Aquarius, linked with the Five of Swords tarot card. This represents the decision to withdraw from a fight deemed unworthy of further strife.
The juxtaposition of the Sun’s playful yet serious Leo energy and the Moon’s Aquarian inclination for disengagement suggests a readiness to release an unnecessary struggle. The transition appears logical rather than distressing, a conscious letting go of an ordeal that has outlived its purpose.

With Jupiter forming a square from Taurus, this full moon assumes a more optimistic character. Jupiter’s placement between the Sun and the Moon offers a hopeful perspective, abundance, and an opportunity to dispense with issues that drain our energy.
In this mix, Uranus forms a loose square, providing a mere hint of instability or disruption without causing significant turmoil. Meanwhile, Venus retrogrades, urging a reassessment of our values. With Venus squaring Uranus, an unexpected revelation could come to the fore, although this is unlikely to disrupt relationships significantly, it may influence our decision to abandon out-of-sync elements in our life.
Mercury finds itself in Virgo, in direct opposition to Saturn in Pisces. This creates a blockade in our communication channels, despite our good intentions and well-thought-out plans.
The exact trine formed by Mars and Jupiter between Virgo and Taurus is of significance. This aspect speaks of courageous action, moral high ground, and empowered decision-making.
In conclusion, we are at a crossroads. The situation we are ready to abandon has become a sunk cost. We are unwilling to endure further suffering, and even though our communication may falter, the decision to move forward is nothing short of heroic.
This Full Moon will be felt most intensely by Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, and Taurus, particularly if you have planets and/or important chart points around 9 degrees of these signs (give or take 1-5 degrees).
