Monday

Monday is ruled by the Moon. The Moon is in practical, earthy Virgo today. The ruler of the Moon is Mercury which is retrograde. The focus is on our daily routines, getting things done and moving ahead. Mercury is asking us to clear the clutter and fix or redo something in our lives. Clear your mind. Clear your body. Clear your heart. Things are being placed back in their natural order.

I asked the Angels for a message to help us meditate on this day, and the image that was given to us is that a person looking up to the vast sky and watching all the stars and planets moving in their circular orbits…a peaceful silence binds all of it together…I could hear the deep quiet in the Universe enveloping us…I heard them say, find the stillness within and all things settle around you.

There is an order to life. All things flow in a perfect rhythm and unfold in perfect, Divine timing. Can you trust the unfolding of your life? Can you accept that life is a mystery? The Divine Mystery that binds the stars and planets together in perfect order is also aware of you and it guides you in your own orbit and helps you move along in perfect timing. Venus in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, remining us that “All is well. All will be well” (quote by Julian of Norwich, a Nun who received visions from God). You will be well. Trust.

Moon in Virgo conjunct Mars in Virgo, and we feel ready for the work ahead. Focus on one task at a time. Take your time and place your attention on the details. Mars in Virgo is asking us to see what needs to be cleaned up in our lives and we are doing it today. This is a great day to work on creating new routines that benefit your overall wellbeing. Check in with what your body, mind and spirit need. Check in with those you love and what they need from you. Get needs met. Get a system in order. Mercury retrograde is helping us find more efficiency in what we do. Focus on becoming efficient about your wellbeing today.

Tuesday

Tuesday is ruled by Mars. Mars is in Virgo. Mars is getting ready to change from Earth into Air element. Mars will enter the sign of Libra from August 6 through September 22, 2025. Mars takes action and in Libra it’s about finding balance and harmony in relationships. We still have time to clean things up as Mars continues its transit through Virgo. Virgo helps us get tidy and organized. Time to organize your life and make space for new connections and more functional relationships with yourself and with others.

The Moon enters Libra at 1:48am today. Venus is in Gemini getting ready to enter Cancer. We are graduating from the lessons of Venus in Gemini this week. What have you been learning about Love and relationships? The Moon is asking us to focus on our relationships today. What is the current state of your relationships? How are you relating with the world around you? What does your heart need? Notice any insights and awareness that arise today. Your heart is speaking to you. Listen.

The Moon trines Uranus, and sextiles the Sun and Mercury. The Universe is supporting us and telling us we have the tools we need to improve our relationships. We have the tools to express our hearts desires and wishes. We are motivated to move ahead with new goals, plans and dreams.

Moon squares Jupiter in Cancer in the evening, conflicts may arise at home or with family. It’s best to rest, lay low, remain calm and focus on the bigger picture. Remember Love prevails in the end. Focus on Love. Focus on Peace. Focus on kindness. Dreams may bring answers, pay attention and write them down.
