Eclipse season is here! This week starts with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the consciousness-raising sign of Pisces. This eclipse is joined by Neptune, the planet often associated with checking out. In this episode, I share some ideas on how you can use this energy to check IN. Eclipse season is a cosmic invitation to turn down the outside noise and turn up the volume of your inner knowing and connection to spirit.

Full disclosure: I get extra woo in this episode, I was feeling the vibes!

The week wraps up with the Sun entering Libra, aka the Fall Equinox. In between, we've got a full week of notable planetary transits. Most importantly, take care of yourself. Focus on the basics of self-care: I'm talking water, food, sleep, and feeling connected to the Earth. It will make it easier to tune into the cosmic messages the eclipses are delivering.

But first, our minds can regain clarity thanks to Mercury in Virgo. With Mars squaring the nodes of fate, you'll need to be clear as the Universe will ask you to make some choices.

After some super intense astrology earlier in August, we finally get to enjoy some calm. Thankfully, Mercury stations direct on August 28th and hopefully brings some clarity and decisiveness. It's Virgo season, and the Sun in this discerning and thoughtful part of the sky encourages us to get back to the rituals and routines that sustain us.

It's a calm week in the heavens, but Venus is in conversations with Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto - all the outer planets. It's a good time to get clear with your boundaries and expectations in your relationships, and maybe with your money and your values too.

As this is the final week of the moon cycle, it's important to give yourself space to rest and repair. Next week will kick off with a New Moon in Virgo and a new opportunity to manifest some new rituals and routines that will take you through the end of the year.

This is one of the most intense weeks of astrology in 2024! The best thing you can do is take care of yourself. I'm talking: drink water, eat enough food, take deep breaths, sleep... If you are taking care of the basics it will be easier to ride the waves of cosmic change.

We've got almost all the planets connecting in two different T-squares that shake up the energy and pave the way for some big shifts. Of course, the crescendo of this energy will be Monday, August 19th when the Full Moon in Aquarius occurs.

The last Full Moon (4 weeks ago) was when President Biden stepped down. That Full Moon was joined by Mercury square Uranus. Thanks to Mercury retrograding, that same square is occurring again, just as the Democratic National Convention begins.

This Mercury square Uranus signature has its fingerprints all over this presidential election. Stay tuned.

And don't forget to take some deep breaths and ground your energy to stay flexible and adapt to the waves of change.

August hosts some of the most intense astrology of 2024. It all starts this weekend with a New Moon in Leo and Mercury Retrograde.

The New Moon in Leo is charged up by a sextile to Mars and Jupiter. It's like having the hand of the Universe at your back, pushing you to gather the belief in yourself so that you can go out and take action to make your desires a reality. With Venus at 29 degrees of the same sign, Leo, she is helping you finally believe that you are worthy of receiving what you really want! This New Moon packs a punch, even if you don't have strong Leo energy in your chart.

I might sound cheesy, but in this episode, I share my personal connection to the New Moon in Leo and how this moon cycle seems to be the impetus for the majorly good life-changing events I've experienced.

Then Mercury stations retrograde. From August 5-28, the planet ruling communication, technology, and logistics encourages you to slow down and reflect, revise, and rest. This retrograde will be challenging due to a square with Uranus, but it also offers an opportunity for growth and healing if you slow down enough to hear its message.

Mars and Uranus join together to bring upheaval, chaos, and volatility. The good news is that this transit’s energy can be harnessed for good!
