URANUS STATIONS RETROGRADE IN TAURUS …… can we cope with surprises? Uranus starts his yearly, five-month retrograde period at 27°15’ Taurus on 01 September (antiscion 02°45’ Leo) which lasts until 30 January 2025 when it stations direct at 23°15’ Taurus.

VENUS ENTERS LIBRA 29 AUGUST 2024 Needing to find a balance as we process the changes…. Venus enters one of its home signs on the 29th August. Venus takes on a more rational stance in Airy Libra with peace and harmony being of utmost importance as it endeavours to keep an even keel (Taurus, its other home sign is a much more sensual placement).
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT ON 28TH AUGUST 2024 Mercury’s 3-week retrograde period will end on the 28th of August at 21°25’ Leo (antiscion 08°35’ Taurus). In Leo, all planets want to be respected according to their nature.

This affects me personally since the Eclipse will be opposing my natal Saturn at 25°32’ Virgo so I was interested to see what other charts in the news might be involved.

AT WHAT POINT DOES TOO MUCH BECOME TOO MUCH? On 14 August Mars conjoins Jupiter (16°40’ Gemini, antiscion 13°20’ Cancer) in the mentally stimulated, socially active sign of Gemini. Mars is in minor essential dignity in Gemini but Jupiter is in his detriment, neither will be inclined to be on their best behaviour and exuberance may abound with excess mental activity and weird bombastic ideas, there may also be accidents and incidents regarding travel, particularly air (Gemini) travel. Only a few hours later, Mars and then Jupiter (5 days) move into a square aspect with Saturn R in [...]
NEW MOON IN LEO 4 AUGUST 2024 ….creativity, love, respect, discipline and dreams There will be a New Moon at 12°34’ Leo (antiscion 17°26’ Taurus) on 4th of August. With all that Leo energy around (Sun-Moon-Venus all in Leo) we might feel the urge to start some new creative process to get passionate about and resort to excessive pride (another Leo characteristic) that could actually block our progress.
VENUS ENTERS VIRGO ON 4-5 AUGUST 2024 Miss Modesty Venus in Virgo intellectualises love and intimacy and is also pretty good at maths when it comes to managing finances so keeping a check on over-spending could be a welcome (and necessary for some of us) break after the Leo extravagance.
