Key
Aspects:
Mars
opposes Uranus retro Aug 6 at 2:37 PM
EDT/ 11:37 AM PDT from 22 Vir 01. Beginning a potent T-Square with Pluto
at 28 Sag. From now through the 17th actions can be full of consequences
and hidden motives.
Mercury
opposes Neptune retro Aug 6 at 2:40 PM EDT/ 11:40 AM PDT from 23 Leo
05. Thoughts or words may be unclear or misleading.
Venus
conjuncts Saturn Aug 13 at 1:02 PM EDT/ 10:02 AM PDT at 9 Virg 15. Also
conjunct Mercury at 5 Virg and trine Moon and Jupiter at 13-14 Cap. What
do you want to do with this combination?
Sun
opposes Neptune Aug 15 at 3:42 AM EDT/ 12:42 AM PDT from 22 Leo 51.
And trine Pluto at 28 Sag. Perhaps it’s easier now to see your delusions.
Perhaps it’s not.
Mercury
conjuncts Saturn Aug 15 at 4:00 PM EDT/ 1:00 PM PDT at 9 Virg 30. First
Venus and Saturn, now Mercury. Solidify, sober up, attend to what grounds
you.
Mars
squares Pluto retro Aug 17 at 2:15 AM EDT/
Aug 16 at 11:15 PM PDT from 28 Virg 37. Decisive, aggressive, intense and
perhaps needing a bit too much control.
Mercury
conjuncts Venus Aug 21 at 11:46 AM EDT/ 8:46 AM PDT at 19 Virg 00. Opposing
Uranus at 21 Pisc (see below). Truthful or rebellious words and thoughts
can be combined with tact.
Mercury
opposes Uranus retro Aug 23 at 2:15 AM EDT/ Aug 22 at 11:15 PM PDT from
21 Virg 28 and Venus opposes Uranus retro Aug 23 at 11:48 AM EDT/
8:48 AM PDT from 21 Virg 28. Now Mercury and Venus repeat the dance of Mars
earlier in the month (see above) forming a T-Square with Uranus (now) and
Pluto in a few days.
Mercury
squares Pluto retro Aug 27 at 9:40 PM EDT/ 6:40 PM PDT from 28 Virg
32. What is it you feel you have to say? Obsessive thinking.
Venus
squares Pluto retro Aug 29 at 5:51 AM EDT/ 2:51 AM PDT from 28 Virg
31. Completing the 4-planet T-Square, bringing resolution or deepening contradictions.
In
addition Mercury opposes Chiron Aug 4, Venus trines Pluto Aug 4, Mercury
trines Pluto Aug 9, Sun opposes Chiron Aug 10, Venus trines Jupiter Aug
16, Mercury trines Jupiter Aug 17, Sun trines Pluto Aug 20-21.
