Happy Monday! We’ve got a big week of astrology ahead of us.
First, Venus arrives in Libra later today, a sign that marks a homecoming. As a result, Venus will help us connect to the energies of beauty, charm, balance, partnership, and social connection. Libra is a sign that helps us to understand others, to see our relationships and connections as a mirror of ourselves and our unconsciousness. It’s a sign that encourages us to work with others and build consensus, something that we’ll be digging into more deeply once Jupiter and the Sun arrive in Libra in September.
But we’re still in Virgo season and tomorrow, August 30, Mercury will turn retrograde at 29 Virgo. Yes, we’re about to dive into Mercury Retrograde. No need to panic. It happens every three months and it’s a time when we have to pull back, reflect, and work through the ideas and experiences gained over the previous three months. Yes, things get a little wonky around the Mercury station, but just breathe, relax, double check everything, and be in the flow. You know, NBD.
Last, but not least, we’ll have a solar eclipse at 9 Virgo on Thursday, September 1. Life is a bit loud right now. Everything is steeped in meaning, karma, lessons, like a swing of a pendulum. Eclipses push the narrative of our lives forward. Pay attention to what is coming up for you. This is not a drill, especially after last week’s Mars/Saturn conjunction.
