Astrology for August 15th-21st, 2021

 Full Moon is coming, August 22nd in the sign Aquarius.

Sunday, August 15th: Scorpio Moon engaging with 5 planets for a variety of emotions and influences. Bask in the chill waters of a Neptune trine which might help you paint something beautiful (and probably blue) or may lend itself to doing nothing much at all. The Moon aligning with Pluto is not much different. This all connects us to our inner world of dreams, imagination and feelings. Try not to rush anything. The Moon also squares the Sun in Leo and Jupiter retrograde in Aquarius. Creating and manifesting is the result if one works through the challenges or differences these squares highlight. Give it a bit of extra energy and see how a problem or block is actually the catalyst for something even better and more dynamic than the original idea. Finally at 11:05 pm EST, the Moon aligns with Venus for romance, love, and seeing eye to eye. Immerse yourself and engage fully in whatever is most important. Void Moon is only 7 minutes long and the Moon moves to Sagittarius then. Today's color is Purple.

Monday, August 16th: Venus enters Libra at 12:27 am. This is a welcome influence if you and your partner have been criticizing each other, nitpicking or overly analytical and focused on money, for example. Venus in Libra can also have challenges, but generally it's a sweeter sign for the planet of love and harmony. Focus on fair and just outcomes and balanced give and take. Sagittarius Moon, with two squares and a planetary sextile to Saturn, gives us a sense of intention and needing to be focused and directed. Frustration level may amp up easily if we're not getting what we want or feel like something isn't progressing. The squares to Mercury and Mars indicate some planning and scheduling problems. Alternate approaches are needed today and that will require some flexibility. Red is today's color. 

Tuesday: Sagittarius Moon thinks big and lends more optimism and motivation, with a trine to the Sun in Leo and a sextile to Jupiter in Aquarius. The one square today is overshadowed by these two harmonious aspects. Some favored areas include educational decisions, travel plans, changing and developing roles in groups or at work, and anything you're growing into. It's a great day for reading, learning and experiencing new things. The Moon is between New and Full and a new burst of fire element helps with momentum and mood. The Sun Neptune square is a reminder not to give up or ignore. Void Moon begins at 9:43 pm EST. Today's color is Gold. 

Wednesday: Capricorn Moon moves in at 1:58 am EST, with a business like attitude and response to due dates and project pressure. We may feel best being constructive and focused on tasks. The Moon is in harmony with Mercury and Mars, and those two planets meet, which increases their powers. Planning, thinking, manifesting, taking action-that's what today is about. One can get really caught up in a project or even a family matter. Remember to also rest. Set a timer or some parameters on work and weave in some exercise as Capricorn is a physical earth sign. Notice how you feel physically and take care of your self as you also immerse in the to do list or a bigger endeavor that requires lots of energy. Today's color is Green.

Thursday: Capricorn Moon aligns with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, all which are outer planets, further from earth. This may have a philosophical effect, such as defining how you feel and what you believe about some thing(s). The Moon and Pluto meet directly which is an opportunity or reason to check in with self confidence vs self doubt. Deep inside, what do you truly know about yourself and your place in any other situation? Tune to intuition and inner knowing. They are one and the same. Void Moon 7:59 am EST, until Friday early morning. 

The Sun and Jupiter are opposite, in Leo and Aquarius, a call to growth, taking big steps, and possibly getting out of your comfort zone. On a side note, Uranus turns retrograde in Taurus at 9:40 pm EST. Depending on your personal chart, this may bring about inner changes in response to the changing world, or you could notice this more as the world changing in response to events. (For me, Uranus in the first house of my chart could indicate I'll feel this personally, for example.) Uranus is retrograde for 40% of our lives, with a retracing of degrees every year. So you may feel this as nothing unusual at all, just the world turning. Blue is today's color. 

Friday: The Moon will be Full on Sunday morning. Generally, energies are strong, amplified and related to major changes. Mercury is the first planet to form an aspect with Uranus retrograde. This can mean quick and necessary changes of plan or way of thinking. Problem solving and unusual or new ways of dealing with things are likely effects. The Moon changes signs at 4:49 am EST, the same hour as that conjunction. Could so much activity wake us out of a sound sleep earlier than usual? Today likely gets going right away with news, things to take care of and adjust, loving or friendly communication between friends and partners as the Moon aligns with Venus, and firm boundaries or meaningful commitments as the Moon and Saturn meet at 7:55 pm EST. Today's color is Turquoise. 

Saturday: Aquarius Moon squares Uranus, so as you might now realize, the planet of rebellion, accelerated change, technology and invention, and your most eclectic friends, has been very influential this week. Though Uranus is long term retrograde, the lunar and planetary aspects blasted right in. If you're feeling a real swing, sudden flip flop, unforeseen problem, or really desiring something different and unique now, you're in the Uranus stream of change. Today's square points out stubborn aspects related to necessary change in approach, way of thinking, way of acting or adjustment to someone else's imposed changes. We're also approaching a Uranus/Mars trine overnight which can be precarious and linked with very sudden action or movement. Avoid things that feel uncertain, risky or unsafe. The trine is at 2:38 am EST on Sunday and close to Full Moon time at 8:02 am EST. Wear White.


Sunday is Open House at Leaping Waters Yoga 
146 Ocean Street South Portland, Maine from 11 am to 2 pm. 
*Covid19 vaccination proof required for all events and activities at Leaping Waters*

Wishing you peace of heart & mind!
