Weekly Horoscopes August 26 - September 1, 2019

Monday: August 26, 2019

On Monday the Waning Crescent Cancer Moon will form an opposition to Saturn retrograde in Capricorn. This aspect highlights a point of tension between family members or at home. We may feel limited or held back by our responsibilities to others and authority, however, this is molding us for the freedom that we so desperately desire. We should learn to appreciate limitation; it is our greatest teacher. 

On Monday the Cancer Moon will also form a conjunction to the North Node retrograde in Cancer. In astrology the North Node represents our greater life purpose; what we are aiming to become. When the North Node and the Moon align in Cancer this energy inspires us to become more compassionate, intuitive, creative, and nurturing. We may focus on the more feminine aspects of our destiny. The divine feminine essence on Earth will also rise and come to the surface. 

On Monday Venus in Virgo will also form a healing trine to Uranus retrograde in Taurus. When Venus and Uranus form a trine there is an opportunity to liberate an aspect of our personal relationships. Areas where we may have felt confined or conditioned will be exposed. If you have felt like a helpmate in your relationship, or have carried more weight than you know you should, this aspect forces you to address it. 

Tuesday: August 27, 2019

On Tuesday the Moon will enter Leo but not before the Cancer Moon opposes Pluto retrograde in Capricorn. This opposition illuminates an emotional transformation that may come from a family experience or past life/ancestral trauma. However, this energy will also remind us that we are not our lineage. Through conscious action each and every one of us possess the infinite power to express free will. This energy encourages us to go to the depth of our emotional suffering and resistance so that we can emerge grounded and open, ready to share compassionately with our family and higher selves. If you have issues with a maternal figure in your life this energy intensifies that. 

On Tuesday the Sun in Virgo will also form a quincunx to Chiron in Aries. This aspect is energetically subtle but it packs a mean punch. This energy will force us to deal with an aspect of our own individuality that we may have been avoiding. Any health issues will be addressed now, like it or not. 

With Mars in Virgo forming a trine to Uranus Retrograde in Taurus the healing energy of the Sun’s quincunx to Chiron is elevated. Uranus in Taurus is about shaking up tradition to move into a more ecological and sustainable world. Together Mars and Uranus will help us make the physical changes to improve our daily behaviors and habits. Be mindful of any laziness or procrastination energy that may surface. Be diligent in your actions and you will see change. 

Wednesday: August 28, 2019

On Wednesday the Leo Moon will form a trine to Jupiter in Sagittarius. This aspect provides us with a much needed energetic boost to complete the last stages of a learning/ passion project, travel initiative, or exercise routine. It’s important that we stay focused on the long-term goal instead of any short fixes or gains. 

The Leo Moon will also square Uranus retrograde in Taurus. This aspect will directly challenge our innate desire to stay motivated and focused on ONE goal. However, this tension can be used as a catalyst of completion if we channel it accordingly. This is a great time to move your body and connect to the Earth.

Thursday: August 29, 2019

On Thursday the Moon will enter Virgo as it prepares for the Super New Moon tomorrow. Today’s energy is very quiet and still. There is not much happening in the cosmos. However, Mercury will change signs and enter Virgo until September 14, 2019. When Mercury is in Virgo our communications are at their sharpest. This transit highlights the illuminating power of the Virgin mind. Mercury is Virgo’s natural planetary ruler so it feels at home. During this cycle we will be more focused on the details of our research, communications, and overall consciousness. 

This transit will highlight our perfectionist tendencies, which makes it an excellent time for writers, journalists, and documentarians. Any research project that has started now should not be focused on speed, instead we should be focused on the depth of our knowledge and how it can be expressed most efficiently. Virgo is not a loud know it all, but it is a silent one. Be mindful of any errors in your work as others will notice it more easily now. 

Friday: August 30, 2019

Today is a busy day in the Cosmos, and it may be extremely difficult to maintain a peace of mind. However, today’s Super New Moon in Virgo grants us the liberation to start anew in the area of our chart that is ruled by Virgo.

The Virgo New Moon will form a conjunction to Mars in Virgo. This aspect aligns our internal desires (our emotions) with our external behaviors and impulses. This energy encourages us to take our daily actions more seriously. We may be guided to implement a more rigorous and consistent schedule surrounding health, wellness, and a healthy work/life balance. However, this should be implemented on a step-by-step basis. Virgo despises instability more than anything. 

The Virgo New Moon will also form a square to Jupiter in Sagittarius. This energy intensifies our disgust for impulsive actions that do not align with the higher vision. However, this aspect provides an opportunity to be more intentional with the steps that we take to achieve this “higher” goal. If channeled in a positive direction this energy can create a serious breakthrough in an area of our lives that was once stuck. 

The Sun will also will begin its conjunction to Mars in Virgo. This energy influences us to not only think about making more practical decisions around our health, wellness, and daily routines, but to actually take the physical steps to do so. At first this energy can feel overwhelming as it showcases all the areas of our lives that are unrealistic and unstable, however, with time, patience, and efficient planning anything can happen. A Sun in Virgo trine to Uranus retrograde intensifies this progressive energy. Like it or not, a change is coming. 

Saturday: August 31 2019

On Saturday the Moon in Virgo will trine Pluto retrograde in Capricorn. This energy comes to release any remaining attachments to our old destructive habits and behaviors. Pluto can be intense and sometimes overbearing, but when we learn to surrender to its transformative calls great things truly happen. We should use this energy to release any unhealthy eating habits or attachments to an unhealthy relationship or lifestyle pattern. Make room for something greater. 

With Mercury in Virgo forming a quincunx to Chiron Retrograde in Aries the healing vibrations of the day are intensified. On a mental plane we have to take responsibility for our own actions because no one else is to blame. This energy will also highlight any perfectionist tendencies that hold us back from progressing into the highest versions of ourselves. When you choose to take personal responsibility for where you are, true freedom occurs. 

On Friday Venus in Virgo will oppose Lilith in Pisces. This opposition brings illumination to the elusive nature of our relationships to helping others. If you are the savior in everyone’s life, this energy forces you to address it. We are all healers, servants, and disciples of Source. However, we are not obligated to anyone or anything. If you’ve been overly giving to the point that its detrimental, this energy says stop it. If you’ve been overly selfish and greedy, this energy says stop it. Balance is necessary for growth. 

Sunday: September 1, 2019

On Sunday the Moon in Libra will sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius. This aspect creates an internal desire to expand one’s social consciousness for more adventure, opportunity, and mental stimulation. This energy is amazing for gathering with close friends for a new experience or craft lesson. However, with the Moon’s square to Saturn retrograde in Capricorn, we may have to be realistic about our time management and social reach.

Family responsibilities may interfere with our desire for more freedom, fun, and adventure, however, that doesn’t mean we can’t bring fun to our home. Venus’s trine to both Saturn retrograde in Capricorn and Uranus retrograde in Taurus opens the door to finding the freedom in limitation. You don’t have to break the bank to explore a new part of your town or neighborhood. Be compassionate and grateful for the resources that you do have and make the best of them. 

Weekly Horoscopes for all signs:

For accuracy it is best to read your Rising/Ascendant horoscope first. After you have read your Rising/Ascendant horoscope you should read your Moon and Sun sign. Weave the three readings together to make a complete story.

Aries: This week tests your ability to stick to your commitments no matter what. There may be subtle temptations that try to distract you in the beginning of the week, but love yourself through them. Family matters and work responsibilities may start to pile up, complete them one step at a time.

Taurus: Trusting your inner willpower allows you to break new ground this week, just keep your expectations at a minimum. Yes, you should imagine the best possible outcome, but practical visualization would be in your best interest. Tap into your innate resourcefulness and trust that everything you want will come into existence.

Gemini: Moving forward is always your life mission, but sometimes you can get caught up in the noise of public opinion. Avoid letting physical manifestation determine your level of productivity. If you know that you are being productive, trust that feeling. 

Cancer: Letting go of the past is a struggle that eventually (hopefully this week) you will come to release. This week is the perfect time to let go of any stagnant beliefs or familial traditions that do not serve your higher purpose. Trust in your daily decisions, they make the picture whole.

Leo: When someone files bankruptcy it doesn’t always mean that they are literally broke. Sometimes we call it quits because we’ve reached the end of a tunnel, and this is you now. When you learn that you do not owe anyone an explanation, you will find the peace and financial gains that you seek. Your glow up is your own. Shine brightly. 

Virgo: Making a commitment to honor yourself and your needs is pivotal if you want to see any long lasting changes happen for you over the next twelve months. Letting go of obligation is the best place to start. You do not owe anyone anything. Give yourself permission to put yourself first. 

Libra: Trusting in your process opens you up to immense healing power this week if you learn to let go. Confrontation is not negative, neither is diplomacy, but only you know what balance feels and looks like to you.

Scorpio: Walking away from an opportunity this week may feel depleting, but trust that something greater truly awaits you on the other side. Sometimes you can’t see what you truly want because it's blurred out by our obsessive nature. Ask yourself are you really being disciplined, or are you being stubborn?  

Sagittarius: Momentum is the name of your game, but this week you should really focus on slowing down. Planning out your next move, at least from a logistics standpoint will help you save money and time. If you are in a position of leadership or authority others will be looking to you more often now. It’s important that you are an authentic representation of who you truly are, not what you assume they want you to be. 

Capricorn: Trusting in the process is not always as easy as it’s expected to be, but if anybody can handle the uphill journey of life it’s you. Give yourself permission to explore what consistency looks and feels like based on your own unique needs. Your schedule doesn’t have to be rigid to remain fluid. Use this time to explore what balance feels like for you.. 

Aquarius: Letting go of a mental blockage opens the door to a learning or career related opportunity you’ve been seeking for quite some time. Over the next few weeks you may travel more for work, or movement may become a consistent part of your daily routine. Trust in the expansion of your own consciousness. You don’t know everything..

Pisces:  Letting go of what you think you should do or know is sometimes a challenge for you, but this week forces you to realize that you are not helpless. You have more possibilities and outlets than you know, but it’s up to you to tune into your inner resources and take responsibility for your own actions.
