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, or 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, Beauty, and relationships 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. 

​​​

We enter the 4th Quarter phase of the Moon this morning. 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 are almost through Eclipse Season!

​

We are building up to the Sun-Saturn inconjunction on Saturday evening. We begin to feel this energy building today, especially this evening. This is a blindsiding aspect. The Sun has combed through all the information and details and has been deeply discerning. Now Saturn is ready to make his karmic ruling. This is a harsh reality check, karmic course correction. We may not like what we hear. This aspect can be accident-prone, so please be careful and avoid unnecessary risks! Dig in and make the necessary adjustments! 

​​​

 The Moon is in happy, playful, communicative Gemini today, making happy aspects. There is a tense square to Mercury late this afternoon. Pay attention to the information coming to light! Be careful while driving and traveling. 

​

The Moon is in Gemini; 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 squares the Sun in Virgo at 3:51 a.m.; 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; we are ready to get to work today! This is a 'whistle while you work' aspect. We are undertaking responsibilities joyfully! Dig in! 

​

Moon in Gemini sextiles Jupiter in Leo at 8:17 am; this is a jovial, uplifting aspect! The Moon and Jupiter are awakening our optimism. We are discussing possibilities and dreaming about the future! Dream big! Be brave, bold, and speak your truth. Go after your goals and dreams!

​

Moon in Gemini squares Mercury in Virgo at 5:29 pm; we are getting clear. Lots of information is coming to light. Mercury is at home in Virgo but also rules Gemini, so Mercury is the ruler and strong! Mercury in Virgo is discerning and has been collecting the data; this is where the data is handed over to the media to share with the public, Gemini. We can expect big news and information coming out now. We may not agree or like what we hear, due to the square aspect. We may need to think on our feet and take action. This aspect can be accident-prone, so please be careful. It's also an argumentative aspect, so pick your battles!

​

Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Shadow in Libra at 4:40 am; this is a loving, amorous aspect. The Moon and Venus are flowing in harmony, sharing loving, tender feelings. Our dreams are sweet tonight. Enjoy! 

The Moon goes void of course with this aspect. It's a shorter void Moon, but the Moon is void until late this morning. Enjoy a slow, easy, peaceful morning. Sleep in.
