What’s the speed of darkness? Darkness disappears at a speed of 186,000 miles per second! The planets line up to give us the greatest “magic” trick of all; turning on the lIght of a higher consciousness. Quick as a twinkle, the stars light your way through the chaos of the ego’s dark works.
A Grand Cross of enormous transformational energy is forming this week, peaking on Saturday the 24th through Tuesday the 27th. Same old wars, conflict, and violence are heating up the circuit breakers, tripping the overload switch, shutting down old networks. It’s our heavenly opportunity to look for new sources of Power.
Blame it on the Full Moon. This Tuesday she rises full in Aquarius at 6:45 PM, PDT. We put our hands on our hearts and pledge allegiance to being more tolerant of differences, more accepting of ourselves.
“Woman overboard!” is triggered by the excessive restlessness of a tense square between Generous Jupiter and Urgent Uranus. Tensions will peak this Wednesday, but we’ll feel it for many weeks.
The Sun shines in Virgo beginning Thursday at 4:01 PM. Quickly joined by Messenger Mercury the following afternoon. Mercury is exalted in Virgo, and our minds become strongly analytical and our communications are eloquent and proficient.
♡ Date Night: Venus in Libra and Mars in Cancer
Feel free to play around, but you better keep it in good taste. There’s excess and unbridled passions ahead between Venus and Mars, adding tension to relationships. He just can’t seem to get his manners up to her standards; he sees her demands as temperamental. Your Mars (yang) energy is intensely aggressive and moody. Your Venus (yin) must have companionship, and you’ll provide the empathic bonding to go with it.
The Force of light is with you.
Here’s your horoscope for the week of August 18-24, 2013:
(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of page)
Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Sparks fly from your fingertips and surround your every move, suggesting you are a person of imminent possibilities! The Sun and Mercury together in precise Virgo will bring meaningful order to your work, if you can integrate your intuitive hunches with cold hard facts. A hot-blooded Aries Moon this Friday has you lightning a fire under a rigid Virgo mountain, creating lava that changes your whole landscape. You’re pushing the envelope. Impatience with restrictions sends you into a revolutionary revolt, arrows flying. One pierces your skin, and shows what you are made of--pure innovation!
Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)
Uncharacteristically, you throw caution to the wind! Your 5th solar house of creativity and romance is activated, making this an excellent time to write that play or win a game of chess. If romance does show up, you really will be interested in his mind! And nothing long lasting, because when the Grand Cross energies of urgent, powerful change arrive, you’ll feel it as an urge for exotic experiences. You don’t care whether they last or not.
For the next two weeks your mind is occupied with an intellectual interest in art. When the Sun and Mercury join forces this Friday in compatible Virgo, you’ll have a window of solar powered reasoning open up. You’ll organize your thoughts and plans brilliantly.
Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)
You may feel too restless to want to persevere with the details needed to complete your project. Chisel, wheelbarrow, and chipping a lot of rock is required to actually manifest your vision. For help, you can call on the balance and artistic eye of Venus in Libra, your harmonic muse right now. The Sun and Mercury move into Virgo and your 4th solar house of home and family. Literally, it’s time to clean closets (one at a time). Cleanliness and attention to detail will actually help you to relax. Logic wants to rule your intuition for the next two weeks.
Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)
Generous Jupiter in Cancer, the archetypal Santa Claus, can easily overdo his love of expansion and cornucopias of all the good things in life. Sometimes his gifts spill out faster than you can sort them, and this is one of those times! But, at the same time, you’re getting a surge of superior intellectual ability and mental agility from the movement of the Sun and Mercury into your 3rd solar house of communications for the next two weeks. It doesn’t just mean your inbox is loaded (which it is), it also has you writing and speaking with a great deal of originality. You still need to think before you hit “send,” but you can get your point across and sell anything!
Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)
Your Monday morning bowl of oatmeal overflows, drips on an add in the paper which causes you to notice it’s “50% off” for the dress you bought last week and you rush to find your receipt so you can spend your lunch hour getting a refund. It’s good news, but in a way that jangles your nerves. That’s the way the Grand Cross energies come across to you. The Sun and Mercury in Virgo light up your 2nd solar house of money and resources beginning this Friday. You’re mentally preoccupied with business and improving your earnings. Since Virgo is the sign of the quintessential CEO of...well, everything, you have two weeks of producing practical, concrete results. Money.
Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)
In sync! You’re entering a period of intense desire to express yourself. You are absolutely clear about who you are, and ready to show anyone who’ll listen. Nothing in your environment escapes your notice. Expect lots of coming and going, and an urge to be in action. The Sun enters Virgo Thursday afternoon, beginning the call of letting go that precedes your birthday. Your love of organization combines with your clear analytical mind when Mental Mercury also enters your sign this Friday. Willpower and sharp communication collide as conjoined twins this Saturday afternoon, a brilliant time for thoughtful planning.
Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)
Take it on. The optimism will be there to make it work. You can tap into the adventurous spirit within you, and put your dreams and wishes into motion. Venus acts as your touchstone during the Grand Cross intersection of power, rebellion, expansion, and cooperation. Not easy bedfellows since almost anything you do or think can become excessive. The Sun and Mercury in Virgo is in your 12th solar house of the universal mind. For the next two weeks your thinking will be strongly influenced by past experiences which bubble up as vague impressions. You gather information through your feelings, your keen intuition, and psychic abilities. Say what you see. Your degree of artistic inspiration is high, generating powerful emotions that need expression. Expect a serendipitous meeting, a relationship with ties to your past, that will stir deep and powerful desires. Stay present.
Scorpio ♏ (October 23-November 21)
With Generous Jupiter there is always a choice; you can take something wonderful and go overboard with it, or you can finally put that fabulous idea into motion. The one that’s just been waiting for enough optimism to fuel it. Your generosity of spirit is tied to your feelings about home and family roots, and gets expressed as a parental, nurturing human kindness. Regardless of your sex, you’ll feel your maternal instincts strongly. The Sun and Mercury in Virgo are bestowing a love of truth, impartiality, and original and objective thinking to all your communications with friends and groups. Especially the next two weeks, you’ve got profound insight into the larger picture of cultural trends.
Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)
Delivering on your promises is not guaranteed with Jupiter courting the god of lightning; you may suddenly turn away from a worthwhile project simply because your initial excitement wanes. The Sun and Mercury have both dropped into earthy Virgo which falls in your 10th solar house, lighting up your professional ambitions so that they become more lucrative. For the next two weeks you’re likely to gain power and leadership, distinguishing yourself by your brilliant ideas. But, stop and think before you share. Restraint of pen and tongue won’t come easily but it has rarely been more important than now.
Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)
Sun and Mercury in Virgo is in your 9th solar house
You’re not asking too much. You’re asking far too little. So much is coming your way that you have lots of reasons to feel optimistic. And to be busy sorting out the excess. You’re more concerned with attitudes than with facts. With Sun and Mercury moving into your compatible sign, Virgo, your ability for sharp minded analysis is going to create some brilliant record keeping systems in your brain. Ideas fall into place like tumblers in a lock. Doors open. You’ve got two weeks ahead of enormous focus, concentration, and travel in the realms of the higher mind.
Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)
Your logical mind is going to get into heated debates with your intuitive side. Freedom at any price seems like a good idea when the Moon takes flight into Aquarius this Sunday evening, on her way to the Full Moon Tuesday. Look back to July 22nd when the first Full Moon in Aquarius occurred (yes, twice in one month!) for the personal needs that were revealed then and want fulfillment now. The Sun and Mercury, now in Virgo, fall in your 8th solar house, which tunes your thoughts to other planes of existence. Caring for our planet earth is a perfect combination of the Aquarius Full Moon and Generous Jupiter’s idealistic causes. You’re ingenious in formulating strategies.
Pisces ♓ (February 18-March 19)
Your emotions are without boundaries or borders while you merge with the universal mind, and tap into your own deepest knowing. Jupiter in an internalized stress with Uranus requires a great deal of patience, and if you can persevere the rewards come in sudden opportunities and lucky chances. The Moon wades into Pisces this Tuesday evening at 9:43 PM, creating two days of harmony with Serious Saturn. Your ideas take on structure and practicality. You’d like others to hear your words exactly as you meant them. Your poetry takes on depth of meaning and universality of appeal that raises the horizon of hope for many others. Don’t be shy about sharing!
