Weekly Astrology 8/3-8/9
We are in August, can you believe it? If you feel that time is moving faster it may be the frequencies of Uranus and Mars in Gemini. There’s a feeling of moving faster across time. The mind is busy and there is much to get done. As Mars moves into Cancer on August 11th, the vibe will change. In the meantime, make time to settle your mind. Use your time wisely and know when to pause and rest.
On Monday, we have Chiron stationing in Taurus. You felt these vibes during the weekend and into Tuesday. Chiron represents the pain we learn to carry. The wounds that won’t heal such as grief. Chiron also represents our ability to be resilient and learn from pain and suffering. Chiron is a Teacher and Guide. Somewhere in your life, inside yourself or someone around you, there is pain and suffering that needs attending. Pain is not a choice, but suffering is. We can feel pain as a sensation as an observation without adding a story to it. The story we tell ourselves about our wounds adds suffering to our experience. We’ve all experienced pain. But you are not your pain, your past. You are the awareness of the Universe that is ever evolving.
Chiron also represents the wisdom of what we have gone through. All the difficulties you have overcome that have made you wiser. Chiron invites us to become Teachers of that which we have overcome so we may guide and help others around us. You walk the Earth with Brothers and Sisters. Notice how Chiron in Taurus is showing up in your life now. Notice how you can become a Mentor and Teacher to those around you.
The Last Quarter Moon occurs on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026, at 10:21 PM EDT. Now, the Light of the Moon begins to decrease as we move into the Dark of the Moon. This is not a time to start something new. It is a time to complete tasks and projects. Clean house inside and out. Acknowledge where you are in reference to what you began during the New Moon and make adjustments and corrections. It’s a time to pause and notice where you now stand in your life path and make changes. It’s happening in the sign of Taurus, so notice what placements you have in the Fixed Signs, Earth and Water signs.
On Thursday, Venus enters Libra. Venus in Libra is in dignity, which means that Venusian energies (Love, money, Beauty, Peace, Relationships and Creative pursuits) are highlighted this week. Notice where Libra is in your chart. This is the area of your life that wants to be beautified and brought to a greater level of peace and ease. Libra seeks balance, justice and fairness. Libra is elegance, beauty and poise. Libra sees beauty in the world and wants us all to celebrate it, and enjoy it.
Pay attention to your relationships during this time particularly what changes around or after August 11th when Mars enters Cancer. Mars will gradually square Venus and weaknesses in the foundations of relationships may begin to show. A square intensifies stress and conflict that is already brewing under the surface, it brings it up like a volcano for you to look at. From now till August 11th you have a window of Grace. Hug more. Love more. Make peace. When the Mars in Cancer comes navigate with patience and understanding, and learn from the waves that arise in your life.
Mercury has been in Cancer since June 1, 2026. Mercury turned retrograde from June 29 to July 23, 2026, and will finish its transit by moving into Leo on August 9, 2026. We have been learning about our vulnerability. As Mercury, the ruler of the mind and communication has been traveling through this sign we have been learning about emotional intelligence, our Mother and mothering and about home and family. Notice the insights, awareness and a-ha moments that have risen within your consciousness during this period, as Mars (planet of action) changes into Cancer on August 11th we will have the opportunity to take action and implement changes in behavior and ways of thinking in these areas of our lives.
Mercury has made us aware. Mercury has delivered God’s messages into our hearts and minds. And now we will put into practice what we have learned.
Mercury changes signs from Cancer into Leo on August 9th. We will be given a different Home Work then. Pay attention to what comes up for you over the weekend. Expect another blog from me on Mercury in Leo, you’ll find it here on this website. In the meantime, notice how every thought, word and action you take makes a ripple in your life. Make conscious ripples in the sea of your life. Navigate the waters wisely. Stay in the wisdom of your heart and let that be the compass that leads you forward. I send you a hug, make it a great week!
