I haven't posted on my Astrology-Classescom page for a long time. Now that the summer is winding down, I hope to have a little more time to connect. Here is an excerpt from my August newsletter regarding the current planetary energy. The transits will be especially meaningful to you if they make contact with any of your natal planets.
With the sign of Leo in focus and the planets Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus all active and making connections with each other, it is certainly not a boring time. It's a great time to take action and to make progress.
However, caution is advised. Mars can bring accidents and lots of anger, especially since Uranus is also active. Jupiter can bring big breakthroughs, but also over confidence and unrealistic expectations. Saturn tames Mars and Jupiter but can magnify any feelings of limitation or self doubt. Of course, Uranus is the wild card. It brings breakthroughs, but also breakdowns. These energies will be especially strong at the full Moon on August 19.
Expect the unexpected.
Let me know below or by message if you have any questions.
August 14: Mercury Enters Leo. Mars Conjunct Jupiter at 16 Degrees Gemini. Mercury in Leo brings clear thoughts with a touch of fun and optimism. Mars conjunct Jupiter in Gemini amps up your decision making ability. Both Mercury in Leo and Mars conjunct Jupiter benefit negotiations and bring the ability to settle disputes. The caveat is that you might be feeling extra rebellious toward authority figures. This is not the time to confront authority figures. Mars in Gemini can mean “angry words” and Mercury in Leo can make you indiscrete in what you say.
August 16: Mars Square Saturn at 17 Degrees Gemini/Pisces. Mars square Saturn is much different than Mars conjunct Jupiter on August 14. Saturn dampens the mood and points out our limitations and restrictions. Mars in stressful aspect to Saturn can cause you to lash out at others rather than trying to work out a solution. In addition, Saturn in Pisces adds a certain amount of fogginess and uncertainty to issues. Tread carefully.
August 18: Sun Conjunct Mercury Square Uranus at 27 Degrees Leo/Taurus. Anything goes when the Sun and Mercury are conjunct and square Uranus. The Sun conjunct Mercury makes you more talkative. Sun and Mercury square Uranus brings sudden insights and brilliant ideas can pop up out of the blue (Mercury and Uranus). Unpredictable Uranus is strong all month. Uranus transits urge you to go-with-the flow as surprises are the norm.
