August Highlights

Despite being a new month, the first week of August is a bit like July’s hangover. As the Sun and Mercury push through Leo, they activate the opposition to Saturn and the square from Uranus.
Here are a few of my top aspects for the month of August.

The Cancer New Moon & The Psychopomp

Shortly after my 43rd birthday and entering an 8th House profection year, I had a strong urge to do some form of ancestral work. One Saturday afternoon (Saturn’s day) under a Cancer Moon, I felt the need to go through a whole bunch of family memorabilia I decided I didn’t want to keep anymore.

Solstice Celebrations

As the Sun pauses and changes direction, you too may like to take time to pause and reflect on the past six months since the December solstice or, around the time Jupiter and Saturn moved into Aquarius and formed their Great Conjunction.

Choosing Change with Saturn and Uranus

If you have fixed angles or planets in your birth chart, start choosing change or else, the change chooses you and then you have no choice. It may be helpful to take small meaningful steps, rather than taking a giant leap into the unknown. You could start with the smallest things like simply changing your mind about something.

A Few Thoughts on Mercury Retrograde

Rather than over – relying on facts and data, lean into magic and possibility. Stretch your mind into what’s possible rather than what’s probable. Allow Mercury to guide your mind and soul into the mysteries and magic that busyness and distraction of everyday life doesn’t make room for.

June Astrology Overview
