Weekly astrology summary:
August begins to close out with a cosmically supercharged week! The sun shifts into the zodiac sign Virgo on Aug. 22, followed by an epic Virgo new moon on Aug. 23 (occurring at 2:06 a.m. in the first degree of the sign). This new moon is both challenging and energizing, infusing a destiny-like quality to the new lunar cycle and whatever intentions are set for a daring new beginning. It’s also the season opener for the second eclipse season of the year, and the first of two Virgo new moons we’ll experience. The personal queries and hints in each above horoscope are guidance for laying the groundwork for the upcoming eclipse portal and the second chance Virgo new moon in September. Venus has an important, nurturing seat at the cosmic roundtable this week as we’re tested on how we embraced last week’s healing zone, and then encouraged to find creative, heart-centered solutions to whatever wasn’t addressed, if possible. The lessons are in connection, values, honoring oneself in relationships, and matters of the heart in family dynamics. Venus blazes on with a shift into Leo on Aug. 25. The Mercury retrograde post-shadow period, or integration phase, also ends on Aug. 25. See the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific insight and guidance.
