You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

We are past the Eclispes, but still in Eclipse Season until the New Moon on 9/10.
Eclipses signify times of fated/destined changes or events in our lives and the world around us! They are like supercharged New/Full Moons, said to be 10 times more powerful than a normal lunation. They are times when our most steady lights, the Sun and Moon, go dark. Eclipses were seen as negative omens by ancient people and astrologers. It is advised to avoid charging your crystals/tools under the light of the Eclispes. It is also advised to avoid intention setting and manifestation rituals during Eclispes. We do not want to charge sacred items or do intention setting/manifestations because Eclispes open portals of energy, and we NEVER know what's coming through portals. We want to be vigilant of whatever comes in, however. Eclispes are times to pray, fast, and lie low while the energy is whirling around us. Eclispes are like energetic Cat 5 hurricanes; it's not advised to venture out into these storms to explore. Whatever we pull in if we are manifesting/charging will have the energy of Eclispes imprinted. Eclispes are chaotic times; why invite more chaos than necessary?!
Powerful beginnings and endings often take place around Eclipses. Trust that whatever is coming in or leaving our lives is fated. Destiny is in the driver's seat in our lives, and Eclipses are known to course-correct us if we've gotten on the wrong path or are stuck. It may not feel like it, but whatever is happening IS for our Highest Good. We may need some time and space from the events to see the Higher Purpose in the Eclipse events.
We are likely to hear more about pregnancies, births, engagements, wedding announcements, as well as deaths, relationships ending, or job losses during this time. This first Eclipse in Leo is a Solar Eclipse (always a New Moon); it's a South Node Eclipse, so significant, powerful endings, wrapped in new beginnings, are coming in. Something is being taken away and replaced with something else. This is a spiritual course correction, because Jupiter is also in Leo.
Hungry Ghost Month!
If you're out partying, please be careful and thoughtful of your state. Avoid excess alcohol and drugs. Protect your energy. The energy/psychic vampires are out in droves! In Chinese Astrology, we are in the Hungry Ghost month. It started yesterday and lasts until 9/10. This is a time when the gates of the underworld open and spirits are allowed to roam freely. Yikes! It is advised to avoid going out late at night; if possible, avoid alcohol/drugs; wear protective amulets; avoid covering your head; avoid swimming at sunset. In China, plates of food are set out at crossroads; incense is burned so that the souls may "eat" and be satisfied. It is a time for prayer, protection, and regular energy clearing and cleansing.

The week is off to an intense start!
Monday and Tuesday are the most challenging days of the week!
Venus enters her Rx Shadow late Monday morning, then we have the powerful Jupiter-Saturn trine in the evening! This brings us back to 12/21/20, when we had the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0* of Aquarius! Think back to this time: what seeds were planted? We then had the Jupiter-Saturn square on 6/15/25. This marked a challenge or pointed out where we need to take action. Now we have the Jupiter -Saturn trine! This is incredibly supportive, uplifting, inspirational energy. We need to use it to see benefits. Trines make things feel smooth, so they often go unnoticed and underutilized!
On Tuesday, we have an extremely tense and uncomfortable Mars-Saturn square! Ouch! This aspect addresses the consequences for our actions! It's an exhausting energy; we could feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Stress and strain are hallmarks of this aspect. This is an accident-prone aspect, so please be careful! It's a broken bone aspect, so no unnecessary risks! Avoid overdoing it in the gym; muscle sprains/strains are also likely. Saturn is dealing out some serious karma now, so we should clean up our act before we get a Saturnian smack! Mars does get some Mutual Reception from Saturn, as Mars rules Aries, where Saturn is transiting! Mars is currently in its sign of Fall, so he's thrilled to get any support! This is a time of harsh consequences. It's not the time to ask for a raise or favors. This aspect is like driving with the brakes on!
Shortly after the Mars-Saturn square on Tuesday, Mercury inconjuncts Saturn, delivering some hard news to us! This is a blindsiding aspect; brace yourself for news/information coming your way! This is also an accident-prone energy, so caution!
Mercury then sextiles Mars, bringing him some much-needed support after his brutal battle with Saturn! Mercury and Mars are trouble-making, mischievous friends. Avoid taunting your boss/authority figures! This aspect can bring in solutions, helpful friends, and some timely support.
The Sun inconjuncts Saturn on Saturday evening. This is a reality check aspect. The Sun is doing inventory and notices that something is off. We may need to reestablish some rules and boundaries! Unexpected reality checks, harsh realities, and karmic slaps are likely. Take good care of your health; take anything coming up seriously! It's an ideal self-check time!
Venus is in her Retrograde Shadow now.
We are officially in the pre-Venus Rx Shadow, which means that themes from the upcoming Venus Rx are coming up. Pay attention to what happens, especially around love, relationships, beauty, pleasures, fairness, and legal situations! Venus rules these areas, and as she slows down and retrogrades, these themes are highlighted. This is NOT the time for plastic surgeries, shopping sprees, radical changes to your style/appearance. We are unlikely to be happy with the results!
This is also a time when relationship challenges spike! If dating someone new, take things very slowly! If you meet someone new, or become interested/attracted to someone during the Shadow/Retrograde, chances are that by the time Venus Stations Direct, you'll be over it, in a BIG WAY! Initially, it could feel like fiery chemistry and passion, even like a fated connection, but remember, Venus isn't seeing things or thinking clearly! Venus begins her Rx in Scorpio, then retrogrades back into Libra. Think back to the Fall of 2018; this was the last Venus Rx in Scorpio! Similar themes could come up! Intense passions that have a destructive outcome are highly likely!
For now, Venus is still in her home sign in Libra, so although she's in her Rx Shadow, she's still capable of good things. Once she enters Scorpio, her sign of Fall, the vibe shifts significantly! Beware of self-undoing during this Venus Rx cycle!
Today:
Venus is in her Retrograde Shadow! This is HUGE! So, Venus entered her Rx Shadow now in Libra on 8/31, enters Scorpio on 9/10, Stations Rx on 10/3, Retrogrades back to Libra on 10/25, Stations Direct on 11/13, and finally clears her Rx Shadow on 12/15! The Goddess of Love and Beauty is slowing down, entering her Retrograde Shadow period, also inviting us to slow down and spend more time in contemplation and reflection. This is NOT a supportive time for Venusian activities. It's great for cleaning out the closet and getting rid of old makeup or skincare products; donate unused items.
The Moon is waning, decreasing in light. She's going down fast! This is an ideal time for reflection, contemplation, and turning inward. Get more rest during Waning Moon times, focus on protection work, and clear energy.
We start the morning off with a void-of-course Moon. Enjoy a slow, easy morning; make sure you have everything you need for the day before leaving the house! As the day gets going, the Moon enters Gemini!
The Moon in Gemini is making happy aspects. As the work day wraps up, the Moon meets Uranus, signifying unexpected events, shocks, and surprises.
The Moon enters Gemini at 7:47 am; the Moon in Gemini is restless, communicative, curious, versatile, flexible, quick-witted, diversified, and scattered.
The Moon in Gemini is answering to Mercury at home in Virgo!
Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo, so this is supportive of the Moon.
Moon in Gemini trines Pluto Rx in Aquarius at 1:41 pm; we are thinking deeply, critically, and contemplating our next steps. This is a genius Air trine, so dig in and get to work!
Moon in Gemini sextiles Neptune Rx in Aries at 1:55 pm; this is a creative aspect. We are likely feeling sleepy, drained, or out of it. Take a break and reset. It's a fantastic time for creative work and passion projects.
Moon in Gemini conjuncts Uranus in Gemini at 5:27 pm; this conjunction signifies shocks, disruptions, surprises, and unexpected events. Shcking news and information are coming to light. Buckle up! Ideas, inspirations, and solutions can occur to us or be recommended to us. Think outside of the box! Try something new and different!
Create a sacred sleep space before going to bed tonight.
Moon in Gemini squares the Sun in Virgo at 3:51 a.m. on 9/4; we enter the 4th Quarter phase of the Moon now. This is another big step down from the Eclipse energy. We are in the final quarter of Eclipse Season! I'm looking forward to closing this one down!
The Moon is inviting us to release, clean out, and clear out the mental clutter or outmoded beliefs we are holding to. We are being asked to discern all the information coming in. The Moon is collecting bits of information, and the Sun is filtering out truth from the noise.
This time invites us to turn inward, spend more time in contemplation, and reflection. This is a very supportive time for cleaning, clearing out physical and emotional clutter, and protection work/prayers.
Moon in Gemini sextiles Saturn Rx in Aries at 6:40 am 9/4; we are ready to get to work today! This is a 'whistle while you work' aspect. We are undertaking responsibilities joyfully! Dig in!

Dolphin- Manna- REVERSED
Dolphin is reminding you to breathe! You may be under stress, and your body may need manna. You may be starving your cells and organs, no matter how many vitamins you are taking. Your natural cycles may be fouling up. Pay close attention to your health and your feelings. If you are on edge or just tense, take time to relax and breathe the life force into your muscles. Focus on releasing old breath at the bottom of your lungs and refilling your respiratory system with regenerative manna. Breathe from the diaphragm and fill the lungs to capacity. Then exhale from the chest to the belly, letting your body fully relax as you breathe out.
Another message of contrary Dolphin is that many signals are carried through universal tides or waves, and you may be failing to use your sonar. To detect these wave patterns, you may need to realign yourself with natural rhythms within your body. Then you need to use the Dolphin breath to connect to universal awareness and signals.
Dolphin says to dive deeply into the water, to play by the coral reefs, and to discover the beauty of the rhythm of breath.
Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
