This Week in Astrology
August 21 – August 27, 2023
Key Events
Sun moves from Leo into Virgo this week... shifting the energy from Leo's themes to Virgo's. Pay attention to the areas of life governed by Sun... a new chapter begins.
Mercury stations retrograde this week in Virgo. The themes governed by Mercury slow down and turn inward... this is a time for review and reflection rather than pushing forward.
The Moon This Week
The Moon passes through 4 signs this week: Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn.
The Moon in Libra smooths the edges of the day and turns attention toward fairness, beauty, and relationships. The collective mood seeks harmony... sometimes at the expense of honesty. Balance both.
The Moon in Scorpio deepens the collective undercurrent. Conversations go deeper, instincts sharpen, and what's hidden pushes closer to the surface. An intense day that rewards emotional honesty.
The Moon in Sagittarius lifts the collective mood upward. Optimism, restlessness, and a hunger for meaning or adventure color the day. Big thinking is favored... just don't mistake enthusiasm for a plan.
The Moon in Capricorn sobers the collective mood and turns attention toward duty, achievement, and what needs to be handled. Emotions are filtered through practicality. A productive day if you don't suppress what you're actually feeling.
