August Transits and Monthly Overview

NOTABLE TRANSITS
August 6/7 – Mars enters Libra: and we may struggle to assert ourselves, but by leveraging our debating skills, we can negotiate our way to victory.
August 11 – Mercury is direct: but remains in its shadow until August 25. Focus on integrating messages received during Mercury Rx.
August 11/12 – Saturn sextile Uranus: discipline meets freedom. The start of a period of systemic innovation and reinvention. We’ll be feeling this one for a while.
August 22/23 – Sun enters Virgo: just how important IS optimization, and can we relax our standards if our standards are making us unwell? Food for thought as eclipse season looms.
August 25/26 – Venus enters Leo: gestures are still grand, but maybe a bit muted as Venus answers to the Virgo sun. We may also be romantically gun-shy following a recent Leo Mercury Rx gaffe.
August 28/29 – Uranus sextile Neptune: Richard Tarnas defines the Uranus-Neptune cycle in terms of spiritual awakenings and scientific paradigm shifts. A time to reimagine what we believe and, ultimately, who we are.
