8/6 ~ Sun (core essential Self) ~square~ Jupiter (imagination & truth):
This is a powerful energy and with that comes the necessity of discernment because it tends to provoke you to want to get lots of things accomplished and that’s a good thing, however, beware of taking on more than you can actually handle, at this time. Having said that now, if you need that little “push” to get some things done, this is just the energy for you. It carries with it the optimism necessary to allow you to go beyond your norm and stretch in new ways. Sometimes there can be a tendency toward self-righteousness with this energy, but try to make it “self-directed” and you will benefit greatly. Walk your talk, embody your Truth. However, if you turn it on others, demanding they believe what you believe, you may have some difficulties. Be open & receptive, have a don’t-know or beginner’s mind because you never know what you may learn along the way that could really help you, now or in the future.
8/6 ~ Venus Enters Libra (until 9/9):
This is relevant for three reasons, one being that Venus is at home in either Libra or Taurus, and is strengthened and, two being that relationship-stuff is Venus’s domain and Libra’s lesson and three being that Venus is about to go Retro in Scorpio (10/5) but review the tail-end of Libra before it goes Direct in Libra (11/16) meaning she will be back here again in Nov 2018, so Aug is a snap-shot of what may come up for review toward the end of the year. Your values & priorities are shifting in relationships, it’s best to consciously co-create. Consider the following.
Venus (values, priorities, resources, love, art, beauty, culture) in Libra (balance, reciprocity, relationships) is a time to restore balance within your Being and develop a new sense of self-worth & self-value. This is an opportunity to renegotiate the terms of your primary relationships and determine what is no longer important to you, while preparing to go deeper (in Scorpio). If you align your priorities within your own Being, as well as your primary relationships of *NOW* ~ then it will make the deep dive in to the potent Scorpio energy more productive (and less debilitating). When Venus is in Libra, it is time to assess your priorities and re-establish balance with a cool head (Air sign), what’s fair, just and worth-it for you, by your own definition. It’s time to take an honest look at how you, your life and your choices affect those closest to you. And you want to reflect on how effective your choices actually are (or have been) in attracting your heart’s desires. Remember, Libra is the lesson of “balance & reciprocity” which must be considered before taking on the Scorpio lesson of “karma, power & creation”, otherwise you only create more “karma & creations” to clean up along the way. Venus will always remind you that you ARE what you attract and you show the Universe what you value by what you spend your primary resources on (time, energy, money). So use this time and Cycle to recalibrate things consciously and look for new ways of relating.

8/7 ~ Uranus Rx 2* TAURUS (1.6.2019):
This is a once-in-84 year occurrence! And it still has to retrograde back ‘n forth over the last 2-degrees of Aries and first 2-degrees of Taurus in order to complete the ‘Crossing Borders’ that we are already feeling and the whole world will feel by Spring 2019. Uranus is a collective planet and so affects many people and takes 7-8 years to accomplish its mission in each sign. It will awaken the Taurus department of life (House) and stimulate any of your planets in Taurus/Scorpio or Leo/Aquarius (by default). Also, I’d say here & now is a good time to reflect on the ‘liberating ordeal’ you just went through over the last 8-years as it stimulated your Aries department. Once it is truly into Taurus, you can start to reap the benefits and integrate the recent, radical shifts that you’re Identity & Purpose (Aries) have been through and the focus, and thus the lessons & blessings, will now shift to the values & priorities (Taurus) that support that newly awakened Emergent Self and how that works on the ground, in your body, on the Earth.
*I highly recommend Steven Forrest’s Uranus in Taurus article HERE.
8/7 ~ Venus (feminine & receiving) ~trine~ Mars Rx (masculine & giving):
Venus rules your values & priorities where relationships & finances are concerned, your inner Sacred Feminine who innately knows how to co-create with nature, what to cultivate and nurture to full development. While Mars rules your desire nature and your inner Sacred Masculine, which is responsible for maintaining your personal boundaries, getting your ideas into the world and negotiating on your own behalf. When you are channeling both through you in a balanced way, what you create and how you move through the world becomes a beautiful dance or, at least, a more interesting story. The trine is a blessing of ease & grace, an easy-going energy that paves the way for balance & reciprocity and encourages independence within the context of relationships. Communication is usually smooth at this time and exchanges can be mutually beneficial. Any relationships started under this influence have a good chance at success whether personal or professional.
*Note: With Mars Retro, you are more likely to be working on your Self & current relationships, rather than initiating new ones. But with the trine, it should allow some of the renegotiations to go a little smoother if needed.
8/8 ~ Mercury Rx (communication) ~conjunct~ Sun (self-expression):
This energy will compel you to express yourself on many levels. Communication will be a focus, just make sure it is received & reciprocated. You will have access to some powerful energy that can (and probably will) make quite an impression on others (if you need to). However, help has to be invited and if they are not ready, open & receptive, then conserve your energy. This is a good time to travel if possible too. However, if not physically, then mentally and certainly within your own area because you will be able to take in more information per square inch than usual. Pay attention! You may even gain the much-deserved recognition from others that you have worked so hard for.
*Note: With Mercury Retro at this time, I would add that this is a behind-the-scenes process for now. There is an exploration process going on that isn’t done yet so it may be hard to draw conclusions until Mercury is out of Leo and into Virgo, which will help you integrate what you discover now.
8/8 ~ LEO/Lion’s Gate of Power/Cross Qtr:
This is the MidPoint of whatever you got going 6-months ago, in Feb 2018 at the Aquarius Gate. Do you remember “Crossing Borders” 6-months or 1-year ago? (many of you got those readings then and can refer back to them now for new insights). Think: 9-mo gestation process for year 2018, you have nurtured & developed something over the last 9-months that is about to need some physical space to exist. Aug/Sept is all about preserving what is growing strong, solid, useful & nourishing … while releasing density, weight & excess to be composted into something more useful in the season to come. It’s a time of cleansing & purification, as well as gratitude & celebration, in anticipation of the Fall Equinox season of Harvest. Some call this the Pre-Harvest because you can get a jump-start on assessing the year – if you’ve completed your “clearing & releasing” process. If not, then this is the final *purge* in preparation for the Harvest Season. The final Leo/Aquarius Eclipses will help! The Eclipses are considered “course correctors” ~ whether you’re a little (or a lot) ‘off course’ ~ and they are “intensified” solar & lunar energies pouring around and through you (no matter your level of consciousness). Things will be particularly intense now for all of us, but especially those of you with Leo/Aquarius/Taurus/Scorpio activated in your chart.
8/9 ~ Venus (relationships & finances) ~square~ Saturn (responsibility & stability):
This energy can make you feel cool & detached with loved ones. It is time to ‘take stock’ of your relationships and really evaluate the level of balance between giving & receiving. Business or personal – relationships must have a balance of give & take. You may feel more aware of your true independence in life and start reevaluating the need for certain relationships in your life. I remind you here that you have to do it yourself, but you do not have to do it alone. This energy pushes you to dig for your own fortitude & determination to live according to your own values & priorities and corrections or adjustments may be necessary and fairly obvious at this time. You may feel lonely, depressed or disconnected but it’s just the Universe forcing you to question or assess your current relationships, how you interact with others and how you allow them to interact with you. It’s good to periodically evaluate even the strongest relationship and check the foundation. Don’t give in to (ego-based) fears, focusing on the lack & limitation or what is not working, but instead build on the strengths inherent in your relationships (personal or professional) and honor the goodness you’ve created together, as well as in your Self through the process of relationship itself. This is the best time for *Intentional Solitude*, to be alone & reflective because the insights you acquire through this process will help you in a very real way, in the near future.
8/11 ~ Mercury Rx (thinking) ~square~ Jupiter (consciousness):
(2 of 3: 7/9 ~ 8/11 ~ 8/28)
This energy challenges you to integrate your smaller vision with the larger vision for your life. On one hand, you can see the big picture in new ways, but on the other hand, you may not be very interested in the details that make it a reality. This is another good one for expanding your consciousness and thinking outside the box, but as the insights come into your conscious awareness, be mindful of the actual steps it will take to make your ideas a reality. This activation is also great for course-corrections where your ideas are concerned and will open you up to learning something new or bring in a crucial piece of information, just keep in mind that you will have to stabilize anything you start and probably have to review some details down the road because of something you overlooked in your enthusiasm for the new Truth revealed from within.
*Note: With Mercury Retro, this one too is ‘in-process’ so if you do not have to sign any official documents or make any official commitments right now, try to postpone until Sept/Oct. Though that will be when Venus is retro so be mindful of the review going on with your relationships & finances that only happens every 18-months, and in Scorpio, only every 8-years.

8/11 ~ LEO Super New Moon/Solar Eclipse (8 of 9-series):
We get eclipses twice a year, every year, so there is always energy for the change, transformation & radical shifts that eclipses offer. What changes approximately every 2-years is the sign energy, and thus, the lessons & blessings. We spend a couple of years mastering those lessons, like now 2017-18 in Leo/Aquarius and there are reverberations from the years 2008-09 and 1998-2000. Also, remember that it was one year ago we had the coast-to-coast eclipse cross the US, how has your life changed & evolved since the last round of eclipses blasted through your life?
If the Eclipses have altered your course (internal or external) and you have released any rigidness with the Aquarius Lunar Eclipse (7/27), then this Leo Solar Eclipse (8/11) will help initiate the new in a clean, positive, and hopefully fun way! It may be time to Lighten UP! Get creative, have some fun! Make time & space to dig into anything that is weighing heavily on you and find a NEW way to express it. This is the annual New Moon of the New YOU (Leo) and the Eclipse says “New You” to the tune of 10-20 years! We are currently amidst Mercury Retro in LEO (7/25-8/18) which can enhance or extend this period of experimentation with the “new” on one or many levels. I think it will be good for tweaking creative projects before launching them. If your focus is on self-love & self-worth and how you define that for yourself, it may also allow you some customized opportunities (for you) to change your thinking in some way. The world is shifting at such a rapid pace that I feel it is more imperative than ever to know your own *Heart*. Many of us have lived our lives guided by “survival” rather than what is truly in our hearts. And we have discovered, either directly or from observing others, how this can backfire on you. Consider that anything you do, whether for yourself or the world, needs to be heart-centered and rooted in *love* (Leo’s domain) and that which endures, ultimately succeeds. When we do things with genuine enthusiasm ~ humble & pure ~ we can literally Inspire, Awaken & Uplift others and that creates a certain magnetism that creates an energetic flow. The purest form of leadership is to lead by example, so deepen your connection to your own Heart, share your Light (without attachment) but simply for the joy of sharing and that will encourage others to shine their own Light. It’s contagious! Happy Lion’s 8:8 Gate ~ may you rise into your courageous Emergent Self!
