For the week of August 28th thru September 4th be sure to read your Rising Sign as well:
Aries
All those problems that seem to be mounting up are not going to go away on their own. Yes it may seem that a lot is being dropped on your shoulders these days, but what new wrench is this being thrown into the works? And just when you were finally feeling like a plan was beginning to finally come together the next shoe drops. And then when you realize all that is entailed, all you want to do is go home and shut the door. Unfortunately that is not on the agenda of your cosmic calendar. You may not be in the mood. And you don’t have to do everything right now. Saturn in your sign being all retrograde is asking you to take your time in order to do things the right way. Maybe even go back over some details that you previously missed. When you assess the situation you will come to realize that there are certain things that need to be taken care of first before you can dive all in. They may seem tedious. They may involve things that you really don’t want to do. Take it slow, and keep the big vision foremost in your mind. Let that be your lodestar. It will give you the courage to plow through, and deal with the hard and the tedious stuff you’ve been trying to ignore. Chin up. Keep your sense of humor. Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s the big picture that is calling you. The rest will get done as it will.
Taurus
You have a big vision for the future that perhaps involves your personal life, your home, your surroundings. But in order to make that fully manifest requires you to say goodbye, tie up the loose ends of a life that was, let go of the vestiges of the past. That can be hard. Hard to let go. However that does not mean that you are not able to create a plan of action for the future. That begins with knowing what it is that you truly want. What would improve your life. Make it easier. Less complicated. Not more so. And perhaps a plan of that sort takes time. It is not meant to be rushed into. And there is something to be said for going slow. Sometimes we can get so involved in the forward thrust of momentum, or think that we are running out of time, that we forget to give a proper farewell for what once was. Prepare yourself internally. Take an internal walk into the past, giving everyone and everything its due process and gratitude. These are the things that once held you, the place that served you well, the people that inhabited your former spaces. It will soon be time for you and they to move on. So doing this internal work allows you to be able to take that step into your future, at the right time, and in the right ways. Out of this a plan to fulfill your big vision will naturally evolve. And you will be ready.
Gemini
Change can be a good thing. It can also be hard. And sometimes even scary. but without change we are not able to grow and evolve. The recent spate of eclipses may have made that all too evident, as they could have felt a bit like we were all on a roller coaster, spinning our wheels, and not quite sure where we were going to end up. But here you are now on the other side, where you can almost see a plan beginning to unfold. You can see the road unwinding before you. Now what needs tending to are all the details that will more clearly define the destination, and then eventually the means that will bring you there. There has been so much with the eclipses that just passed to make you feel as if you need to rush. Bur actually the devil is in the details. This is often true when Saturn is in its retrograde phase as it is now. A plan may seem simple at first, however it is the small and very specific things that need doing that will bring up all these unexpected problems if you ignore them. Therefore go slowly if only for the sake of taking care of all the details as you go along.
Cancer
It may have seemed as of late that there has been something of a void in your life, making it difficult to properly see your way forward. It doesn’t help that you’ve been faced with the necessity of having to double back on prior plans and dreams that seem to be so difficult to manifest. Things keep on getting in the way. This can be frustrating, just as you feel that this would have been the prime time for you to be taking some kind of action. And yet there are all of these annoying obstacles. Do not be discouraged by this. It may take you a little longer than you had hoped, but that does not mean to give up. It just may mean that you are going to have to revise some of your plans over the next 6 months in order to allow your plans to proceed. Hold to the vision that has been gradually formulating. Write out a plan. Visualize what that might look like for you. Clarify it. Then explore all of the practical steps that are necessary in order to make that vision for the future a closer reality. When the door opens, you will know it, and all you will need to do is walk through the door that will be opening up in front of you.
Leo
Jupiter now being in your sign has been asking you to expand your horizons, your vision, your hopes for the future. Perhaps to even reach beyond the possible and exceed your own expectations. Jupiter is about growth. It’s about hope and possibility. It’s one thing to dream big, it’s another thing to tend to all of the necessary details that will enable that big vision for the future to be made manifest. That’s where Saturn comes in. That’s Saturn’s bailiwick. Saturn tells us that the devil is in the details. All the stuff that you were ignoring as you wander about with your head in the clouds, ignoring what is right beneath your feet. So it is something of an advantage to have both Jupiter and Saturn on the same page this week. Even if you are not feeling all that motivated (none of us are). Jupiter/Saturn weather is perfect for creating some sort of organized plan of action. Write out the to-do lists. All the hard stuff. All the boring red tape. You may not get to it all right now. You don’t want to. But you also don’t want to ignore it. The stuff you ignore now is what will cause issues later on. So get that figured out first. Be organized. Get things in order. Then begin with the first thing on the list. All journeys begin with the first step.
Virgo
As one chapter is coming to closure, another one is opening. It’s just a matter of clearing the way. This may require you to clean out the cobwebs in the chimney, reorganize the attic and the closets. But perhaps more importantly prepare yourself mentally and physically for what this might all portend for you. Recently you’ve been bombarded with information, new ideas, new details that you might not have previously considered. Now that both Sun and Mercury are in Virgo you might want to sort out that information. Organize it. Figure out what needs to stay and what needs to go. Create some order out of the chaos that the eclipses may have wrought. In some way you are needing to create a clear plan of action for the future. One in which you will be prepared, while taking into consideration any recent changes. The next 6 months are all about preparing the way. Taking care of the details. Begin with a plan. Consolidate your to-do lists. And that includes all the hard and tedious stuff that you may have been ignoring, but now realize you cannot. If you have all the details, all the forms and agreements signed when they should, the rest will naturally fall into place.
Libra
You are likely wanting to get the ball rolling. You realize that so much needs to get done, but it can also be very frustrating. And this is especially so because so much seems to depend on others or outside circumstances. All those things that you pretty much don’t have control over. Therefore focus on the things that you can do, and that you do have control over. And instead of getting pissed off and frustrated with the lack of cooperation, look for ways of making others aware of how important this is to you. One thing that will become apparent, is that you probably cannot do this all on your own. But what you can do is present your vision and ideas to others in such a way that they will climb on board. It’s all in the presentation. If you allow people to be privy to your hopes and wishes for the future, and show others how this would also be to their advantage, then you will eventually win them over to your side. It may take a little more time than you might hope, but you will want this done the right way. And winning people over to your side can make all the difference.
Scorpio
You have a big vision for the future. Lately, between one surprising realization and the next, it may have felt insurmountable. It could have felt a bit like a roller coaster. However there could be a door opening up that could make your life a lot easier. But something is getting in the way, or making you feel stuck. It might just be reticence. You might want to ask yourself what is holding you back? Is it fear? Anxiety? Is it avoidance? Or is it frustration due to circumstances beyond your control? Maybe a little bit of everything. Sometimes you just need to leave things be, and wait for a better time when there are fewer obstacles standing in the way. This is less about kicking the can down the road, so much as simply waiting for a better time. However, that vision for the future needs some sort of road map to get it accomplished. And by and by you will. If you wish to be industrious this week create a to-do list. Map out the priorities and the details that still need doing. But don’t rush into anything if it is too hard. Take things one at a time, one day at a time, and if you can’t get it done today, there is always the next day and the next. Let your vision be the lodestar. The rest will fall in place as it will, and when it will. Begin with the first step, and when you can, take the next step, and so on.
Sagittarius
You have every reason to feel inspired these days. Your ruling planet is in fellow fire sign Leo, and basically asking you to expand your world view. This can be literal as in taking advantage of certain opportunities overseas. Or it can merely be about seeing things from a much higher vantage point. A bigger vision is emerging, and you will want to take advantage of it. There’s no telling where this could all take you, if you just extend a little effort in the right direction. Know also that you may not be able to move forward this week with certain plans. There may be something getting in the way. But that doesn’t mean you won’t. There just may be a few delays and obstacles standing in the way. What you can do is connect with your own particular vision for the future. Something that is in alignment with your values, your heart, and even your own creative vision. Then figure out what it will take to get there. Create your road map. Then when the obstacles get resolved, you’ll be ready for the next step.
Capricorn
Endings and beginnings merge when we move through Eclipse season. And this one was particularly illuminating, showing us things that we had not been able to see before this. There may have been a few twists and turns thrown in for measure. It may change some of your plans. And may have even inspired you to grow in some significant way. But what you don’t want to compromise is your integrity. This takes time. There are obligations to fulfill, and goals to be established. And a plan to be drawn out. There is a whole world out there just waiting to be explored. Maybe it’s just a matter of letting the world know who you are and what you have to offer. Whether that means growing your business, creating a home office, or investing in some much needed home improvements. This ultimately is about finding the means and the support from others to do so. You are the architect. There are plans to be drawn and agreements to be made. You’ve got goals. And the possibilities are taunting you.
Aquarius
This grand transformation of your life continues. One thing that may have become central to this transformation is to not compromise your values or integrity in the process. To not compromise what is true and valid about who you are. Much can be learned through others in this process as well. Both what you do want as well as what you don’t. Not that you are being judgmental or anything. But you can’t help thinking about what you might do in similar situations. And you are taking note. You want to have some of the things that others have, but you need to approach it in your own way. It could feel like many paths are unfolding before you. Now it’s a matter of picking the path that is right for you. A vision was forming earlier in the year. Now the possibility for its fulfillment seems to be strangely possible. Perhaps the first step on your journey is to believe that this is actually so.
Pisces
Jupiter in Leo wants you to believe. Believe that your life can improve. That things can only get better. That you can be healthier, perhaps even wealthier and wiser if you play your cards right. Maybe not right away. But if you create a plan for the future, and the opportunity arises, why not? In some way you are being asked to be organized and strategic. Your imagination and vision can be limitless. Earlier this year you were being tasked with making a certain vision a closer and more achievable reality. But in order to do so you were also being tasked with reorganizing your priorities. Perhaps even creating a strategy And now that we are coming out on the other side of the eclipse portal, and the dust is settling, you can begin to see a plan unfolding. Something is taking hold. And now it’s just a matter of implementing it. There will be some adjustments along the way. But once you create the road map and the means to get there, there will be no stopping you.
