GENERAL ENERGY FORECAST
Opening up to the NEW:
This month's lunar cycle presents a unique celestial configuration with seven out of nine possible planets, including Chiron, in retrograde motion.
For most of the cycle, there will be six retrograde planets: Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune, Chiron, and Saturn. Venus, the goddess herself is of course joining the retrograde lineup until September 3rd.
From August 28th to September 3rd, Mars will be the only direct planet, and from September 3rd to the 15th, only Mars and Venus will be direct.
This rare combination of retrograde influences and the lunar cycle starting with the New Moon at 23° in Leo 17" suggest a focus on inner spiritual attainment and neglecting outward appearances.
What does it mean when a planet goes retrogade?
Retrograde motion, although it is an optical illusion, occurs when Earth approaches and passes a planet outside its orbit. This period signifies the planet's closeness to Earth and is characterized by opposition between the Sun and the retrograde planet midway through the retrograde phase. Retrograde planets represent a time for reflection, renegotiation, and review, allowing for the discovery of new dimensions and aspects of oneself.
This month's retrograde energy encourages individuals to embark on an inner journey of self-discovery, breaking free from societal conditioning and becoming more powerful and individuated. It provides an opportunity to make significant changes in relationships, careers, homes, and life direction. The challenge lies in listening to the messages of the planets and being open to new perspectives, opportunities, and experiences. This rebellious and liberating energy seeks to bring about a heightened awareness and acceptance of life in all its manifestations.
I once again would like to mention the symbolic resurrection of Venus- representing a period of growth and transformation…in the combination with new Moon in Leo, it signifies the strong intention to express oneself fully and authentically.
Additionally, the transit of Mercury and Mars through Virgo provides an opportunity for introspection and healing, allowing us to identify and address our inner wounds. As we embark on this journey of self-discovery, it is important to release the need for life to conform to our personal standards and expectations- Instead, we should embrace each moment with an open heart and mind, finding joy, mystery, truth, love, and beauty in whatever comes our way. By doing so, we can experience true liberation and a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SUN AND ASCENDANT SIGN IN ASTROLOGY
Let us quickly remind ourselves about the importance of the Sun and Ascendant sign. The Sun sign represents your higher self and spiritual evolution, while the Ascendant sign represents your soul's purpose and how you can manifest it in the world.
Notice that this New Moon will fall in a different house of the zodiac for each sign and that the house-the New Moon falls in- will influence the main themes and energies that will be present during this time.
Look at your Sun sign first and then check your Ascendant sign. Combine it- fuse it.
