The third quarter moon in Taurus took place on August 19th, however as we are now in the waning phase, we will continue to embrace the effects of this moon until the Virgo new moon. This moon reminds us that although we desire abundance, security and fertile blessings, we are not to lose our authenticity in the process! This moon was in conjunct to Mars, as the planet of war was moving from its late degrees of Taurus into early degrees of Gemini. This can lead to emotional outbursts and blowing up on the people close to us! With the pre retrograde shadow period of Mercury officially beginning on 08/20, things are about to become petty and shady!
The overall lesson for this week: agents of chaos will be projecting at an all time high, be mindful of your boundaries and do not engage in the circus! There could be a lot of tests thrown at us this week, but with the Virgo new moon coming up on the 27th, we are ready detox, cleanse and make space for all of the blessings of the upcoming harvest.
Aries
With your ruling planet moving elements this week, this is a good time to review your schedule to ensure you don’t double book yourself! The planet of communication connects with Mars, providing you with clarity and potentially overdue conversations. Set your goals for the upcoming month this week and prepare to shift gears!
Taurus
Your dreams could be heightened this weekend. This would be an ideal time to start the week off with meditation and journalling all that you can remember from your dreams. Sudden changes can take place this week that could trigger you in some way; remember that you are always safe! Even when you don’t feel “whole”. A solution to your concerns is on the horizon.
Gemini
This is a busy week for you as your ruling planet enters the pre shadow retrograde period, and the planet of strategy and vitality moves into your sign. Mental fog can be expected, making this a good week to complete some detoxing and reversal workings. Once you complete this work, prepare to manifest your desires! The cosmos are brewing something special for you.
Cancer
We start the week off with the moon in your sign, which can help you ground and return back to self. While clarity and necessary conversations could be taking place at this time, be mindful of your delivery! Not everyone can handle the claws of the crab. You could be reflecting on your plans and looking to make some changes; ensure you’re completing these changes because your higher self desires it, not because your inner child is upset.
Leo
It would be best take some time off this week and engage in all activities that help you keep your zen. The tests could be heightened this week and throwing you off your game - remember, these are only tests to your Divine testimony! Keep your boundaries strong while also being open to receiving criticism from your elders.
Virgo
As the sun enters your sign (and soon the moon!) all eyes will be on you! This is a great week to reflect on your daily routines and behaviour patterns, making whatever necessary changes needed. All eyes will be on you this week, while the cosmos work their magic to support your endeavours. It’s time to shine!
Libra
An expansion luck and abundance can take place this week, however you may be challenged to outgrow old comfort zones. This can be triggering to your ego/inner child, but as always, you will land on your feet. Reflect on what your fears and doubts are, and dig deeper to understand where they are rooted in! Doing this can remove the blockage and open the floodgates to peace.
Scorpio
With the moon entering the element of water for this week ahead, your psychic abilities could be tingling. Tap into your intuition and connect with your Divine counsel as much as possible, as important messages could be delivered at this time. Review your boundaries and clear out any distractions that can lead you back into a disruptive path. Out with the old, in with the new!
Sagittarius
With Mars now opposing your sign, there could be heightened levels of impatience taking place. Be mindful of how far you’ve come on your journey, and allow yourself to see the bigger picture! Connect with your loved ones that make you feel supported, not only will they pour into you, but they will remind you how much of a gem you are.
Capricorn
Some blockages can be expected this week, but instead of seeing it as “something going wrong”, consider it Divine intervention! The cosmos are asking you to slow down this week and take a moment to apply some serious self care. Earphones on, social media closed! Ground yourself in the element of earth and water for a spiritual reset.
Aquarius
The tension may be high, but the clarity could not get any clearer! Do your best to not take the confirmation that is delivered as disappointment, personally. Most of the confirmations you are receiving this week are revelations you have been contemplating for a long time. Take your time to reflect on these emotions (yes, your emotions!) and allow yourself to sit with them before making your next move.
Pisces
This could be a busy week of vivid dreams and potentially waking up more tired than when you go to sleep. Be sure to review your schedule and pushback any early morning meetings you may have. Pay attention to these message delivered and any heightened synchronicities! This upcoming moon cycle is extremely important for you, pay attention!
