A Rare Week in The Sky With A Kite Formation and a Full Moon 8/4 -8/11

This week promises to be a journey filled with dynamic energy and significant cosmic events, offering us both challenges and opportunities for growth.We have a kite formation (see pic)

in the sky which is rare and is often considered to be a time of great change collectively and personally. A bit more dramatic in the collective but you will feel this in your life. I love the astrology map! It's such a comfort to help us to navigate and understand why things are happening the way they are and can give us a bit of solace. Its like the weather, only for the energies we're currently feeling around us. It's been an amazing journey of learning and I love the insight it gives. This week, if we're grounded and mindful, we will notice a new vibe flowing in. Here's the weekly lowdown.

On Wednesday, August 6th, Mars will enter the sign of Libra. Imagine Mars as a fierce warrior, bold and assertive, now stepping into a realm where harmony, balance and justice take center stage. In this new environment, Mars may initially feel out of sorts, like a knight in shining armor suddenly tasked with mediating peace rather than charging into battle. As soon as it enters Libra, Mars will form a grand trine in air with Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. This celestial alignment is akin to a powerful wind lifting our wings higher into the sky, encouraging us to explore new ideas and embrace unexpected inspiration. I love this energy! Who doesn't need some good inspiration right now?

As Mars flows to Uranus in Gemini, we can expect a week filled with sudden insights of some surprises, maybe a sudden flash of insight or a creative breakthrough that propels us forward. Imagine sitting at your desk, feeling stuck, and suddenly a new idea sparks in your mind, illuminating a path you hadn’t considered before. This burst of inspiration can help us navigate the complexities of our lives with a fresh perspective. Uranus is lightning bolt energy! It will be igniting Mars with sudden insights! Pluto in Aquarius energy is adding the depth, the revolutionary and the regeneration energy here! Pluto doesn't play on the surface, he goes deep and this is where deep transforamtion can occur. See the potential!

However, the journey won’t be without its bumps. Mars will also oppose Saturn and Neptune, both retrograde in Aries. Picture Saturn as a wise and stern mentor, reminding us of our responsibilities and the need for structure. Its presence may introduce frustrations and delays, creating a sense of tension as we strive for our ideal visions. You might feel a duality within yourself—a drive to move forward, fueled by the grand trine, while simultaneously grappling with self-doubt and hesitation stemming from Saturn’s influence. Neptune adds another layer of complexity, potentially clouding our judgment or making it difficult to articulate our thoughts and feelings.

This energy will be keenly felt from Tuesday through Saturday, culminating in a full moon at 16° Aquarius. As the moon rises, it will illuminate our lives, hopefully revealing what we need to release to make room for growth. This can be a powerful moment of realization, a chance to reflect on the deeper beliefs and foundations that shape our existence. With the kite formation that leads into this full moon, it’s fair to expect something shifts in mind, action or decision we need to make.

Within Mercury still retrograde in Leo, alongside the full moon reflecting the energies of both the sun and Mercury, we may find it challenging to express ourselves clearly or feel truly heard. You might feel as if your voice is caught in your throat, unsure of how to articulate your thoughts or feelings.  If this is so for you, waiting to communicate is key!

The significance of this week’s energy cannot be overstated. On a collective level, we may witness heightened tensions among leaders and shifts in the global landscape, hopefully steering clear of disasters. In our personal lives, this energy can manifest as a culmination of feelings, an emotional peak where we confront what needs to change. It’s a time where we may feel as if we stand at a crossroads, faced with the choice of either experiencing a breakdown or a breakthrough.

Given this profound energy, it's crucial to approach the week with patience. Avoid rushing through decisions or actions, as this is not the optimal way to navigate the cosmic currents at play. Think of a river; if we try to swim against its flow, we may find ourselves exhausted and adrift. Instead, take your time and allow yourself the space to gain clarity before moving forward.

So, my advice for this week is to pause, relax, and savor the moment. Spend time in nature, take plenty of walks, or engage in activities that nourish your soul. Allow the intense Martian energy fueled by the inspirations of Uranus and Pluto, yet constrained by Saturn and possibly muddled by Neptune unfold in your mind before acting in the world. Embrace the uncertainty, knowing that clarity will come in time.   Be so good to you!   Life is moving quite fast and this week is no different.

Be aware of potholes and watch for the signs that uplift and inspire!  These are often moments that can lessen to the breakthrough we’ve needed.

Blessings~
