Astro Daily: August 7, 2023

We start the week off with a Moon in Taurus, one that brings Venus Retrograde into focus. It’s a time to evaluate what’s important, what’s going to create stability in our lives, but, more importantly, what’s going to bring our lives joy and pleasure.

Yes, we’re almost to the halfway mark of Venus Retrograde, a 40-day meditation on relationships, past experiences with others, including anything that touches on value and worth. What have we learned? With the Lunar Nodes now in Aries-Libra, the two relational zodiac signs, relationships and interconnection are a key focus into 2025.

You may recall I did a deep dive webinar Saturday on the Lunar Nodes and why they are so important to know about as well as their key role in making eclipses happen. The Lunar Nodes are like our personal and collective compass points. They point us north, but show us where we have something unresolved from the past. You can still get the full two-hour webinar, The Lunar Nodes in Aries-Libra: 2023-2025, here.

Speaking of Venus, we have a dynamic square between Venus in Leo and Uranus in Taurus this week on August 9, one that may wake up or shake up relationships, including anything unresolved from the past, all in advance of a powerful Leo New Moon next week on August 16.

If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for August 8, 2023.
