Stargazing—Week of Aug. 26th through Sept. 1, 2019

Aug 26, 2019 | Monthly Astrology|Stargazing


There are three trines to Uranus this week, as the Sun moves into Virgo. You can look for, anticipate, and enjoy a very happy ending to the summer months.

On August 21st and 24th, personal planets Venus and Mars entered Virgo. That was the wake up call telling you that the Northern Hemisphere summer season is almost over, and it is time to start making plans and getting organized for the coming change of season.

Monday morning has loving Venus making harmony to friendly Uranus. It is a great time for meeting new people or enhancing the friendship side of personal relationships. Stepping out of your normal routine. You can enjoy some freedom-loving relationships. You may begin some new relationships that are quite different from the usual and completely different from what you’re used to.

Wednesday morning brings excitement as Mars makes harmony to Uranus. Where this join-up with Venus on Monday is fairly gentle, Mars operates in a more aggressive way with the eccentric planet Uranus. So dare to be different, be the geek or the doll baby, however, with this kind of volatile mix, don’t get pushy or take any out-of-sight risks. Be diplomatic early in the week, and assertive by the middle of the week.

On Thursday, mental Mercury moves into Virgo to join the Sun, Venus and Mars. Mercury is in its home field here. Your communication is like Sergeant Friday’s; “Give me the facts Mam, nothing but the facts.”  Cleanse and purify your body, home or office. You will be happy to produce something tangible in the next three weeks, something you can point to and feel good about getting it done. Perhaps you are thinking about getting a new pet. This is the perfect time.

The  New Moon is on August 30th inVirgo. There is an abundance of planets in earth element signs, and also zodiac signs that require adaptability. When the earth element is strong, you feel better when you accomplish something tangible. Find something you can point at and say,“ another item on my to-do list is finished and complete.” Be flexible to changes in what or when you do those tasks, as you must go with the natural flow of the universe (which may or may not agree with the timing you have planned out).

Virgo likes to cleanse and purify, be it your body or your closets. Create a simpler life. This new moon and relationship planets Venus and Mars, also in Virgo, and making a harmonious relationship to Uranus. Uranus along with Mercury will help to sharpen your intuition. There is added help if you are willing to step out of your comfort zone to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, or try out new and  different groups and organizations. There is the opportunity to be of greater service in the world, or to find simple and humble ways to live your life. Expect some happy surprised with your job and/or your health.

This Virgo New Moon at month’s end brings a healthy green light, signaling a time to plant new seeds of new growth at work, your health, and the services you do for others. This last week of August is a time when its easy to make adjustments if you are willing to visualize, plan, and make adjustments.

There are not a lot of big astrological shifts occurring in September, which means that you should be able to get projects moving without choppy energy getting or windy interference getting in the way. The lucky planet Jupiter began moving forward in mid-August and slow Saturn starts moving forward by the end of the month. Ambitious Mars is moving through hard working Virgo all month, the planet of hard work urges us to get organized and be more efficient.
