Astrological Highlights This Week:
Monday, August 26, 2024: Gemini Reflection
The Moon in Gemini today encourages mental exploration and lively communication. Gemini’s influence makes this an ideal day to engage in conversations, exchange ideas, and approach problems with a fresh perspective. You might find yourself seeking new information to satisfy your curiosity. However, be mindful of spreading yourself too thin—Gemini’s tendency to flit from one topic to another can lead to restlessness if not sufficiently grounded.
At 5:26 AM EDT, the Last Quarter Moon occurs, marking a time of reflection and release. This lunar phase invites you to review the intentions set during the last New Moon and assess what has or hasn’t come to fruition. This offers a moment for you to identify what is no longer what you need and to let go of lingering doubts or obstacles. Tie up loose ends and prepare for the new cycle ahead. Focus on the lessons learned and how they can guide you. The energy of the Last Quarter Moon is one of introspection, providing a quiet strength that supports internal growth and closure.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I channel my curiosity in a focused and meaningful way?
- What thoughts, habits, or beliefs are ready to be released as this lunar cycle closes?
- How will I use the lessons of this lunar phase to guide me?

Tuesday, August 27, 2024: Wake-Up Call
Venus forms a trine with Uranus in the wee hours of the morning, delivering a vibrant wake-up call that sets the tone for the day. This aspect brings a fresh perspective to our relationships, creativity, and personal values. This is a time to embrace the unexpected with an open heart.

Be mindful of the potential for impulsiveness; channel this energy into focused, purposeful action.

Wednesday, August 28, 2024: Mercury Stations Direct
The Moon enters Cancer at 4:48 AM EDT, bringing a nurturing, protective energy to the day as we turn inward and focus on the emotional well-being of ourselves and those we love. Cancer is the sign of home, family, and deep emotional roots, making this a time to seek comfort in familiar surroundings and connect with loved ones. You may find yourself more sensitive and attuned to the needs of those around you, as well as more in touch with your inner world. Engage in self-care practices that soothe and replenish your spirit. Whether it’s spending time with family, cooking a comforting meal, or simply allowing yourself to feel, the Moon in Cancer supports all forms of emotional nourishment and sensitivity.
Venus opposes Neptune at 4:24 PM EDT, casting a dreamy, ethereal light on relationships and desires. This aspect can blur the lines between reality and fantasy, making it difficult to see our situations and circumstances clearly. While this can be a time of heightened creativity and spiritual connection, it also carries the risk of idealizing situations or people. Be cautious of getting lost in illusions or wishful thinking, especially in matters of the heart. The key is to balance your dreams with a grounded sense of reality, using this aspect to inspire rather than mislead.
At 5:14 PM EDT, Mercury turns direct, signaling a shift toward mental clarity. As the planet of communication and thought moves forward, the delays, misunderstandings, and frustrations that may have plagued the past few weeks begin to resolve. In the coming days you may want to revisit conversations or decisions that have been on hold, and clear up any lingering misunderstandings. With Mercury direct, the path ahead becomes clearer, allowing for smoother communication and more effective planning. Take time to gather your thoughts and prepare to move forward with renewed confidence.
Introspective Questions:
- How will I nurture my emotional well-being and connect with my inner self?
- Where might I be idealizing situations, and how can I bring more clarity to my relationships?
- What steps will I take to communicate more effectively (in the coming days) now that Mercury is direct?
Thursday, August 29, 2024: Harmony Restored
Venus moves into its home sign of Libra at 9:22 AM EDT, bringing a renewed focus on balance, harmony, and relationships. In Libra, Venus expresses itself with grace, elegance, and a deep desire for fairness.

During this time focus on cultivating relationships and environments that reflect your highest ideals of love and beauty. Venus remains in Libra until she enters Scorpio on September 22, 2024.
At 10:31 AM EDT, Venus, now at the powerful Cardinal point, forms a trine with Pluto. This brings intensity and depth to our interactions, offering opportunities for powerful change in relationships and personal values. The Cardinal point (0 degrees of any Cardinal sign) magnifies Venus’s energy, making this a potent moment for change. Pluto’s influence encourages us to dig deep, uncover hidden truths, and embrace the transformative power of love and connection. This is a time to align your desires with your deepest truth, embracing powerful and authentic relationships.
Meanwhile, the Moon continues its journey through Cancer, enhancing our emotional sensitivity and need for security.
