The Cosmic Connection 

Rising sign horoscopes for Aug. 27 – Sept. 2

Aries: The vibration you hold within your body is the vibration you project out into the world. Tune up and watch for that which you attract to tune up in return. Like entices like.

Taurus: One of those rare opportunities to adjust the course of your life’s path is arriving. Remember the adage “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” and welcome infinite possibilities.

Gemini: When the going gets tough in the outside world, there’s a multitude of ways to respond. Take a beat and a breath, and remember the divine thread connecting everyone is love.

Cancer: How are you feeling, Cancer? If the answer is anything but fantastic, then it’s time for some relief from the mental exhaustion. Devote your energy to turning your light back on.

Leo: Lions and lionesses are the kings and queens of the proverbial jungle for a reason. Examine the energy exchange in your relationships and call back your power where necessary.

Virgo: Your closest relationships have been a very focused classroom for you for a while. Whatever remains to be learned will surface in perfect timing as a final exam about yourself.

Libra: It’s easy to be on autopilot amidst daily routines. Be intentional about noticing the beauty and magic that surround you every day. More lively presence invites more vitality.

Scorpio: Whether you’ve created life itself or you’re a creative, a relationship to what you’ve birthed into the world exists. Compassion is important when the relationship’s lessons arise.

Sagittarius: Your reputation, your friends and partners, and your domicile are all simultaneously tugging you. Find balance and solace through connecting with your own divinity.

Capricorn: Whenever you start sensing feelings of loneliness, it’s important to remember that you are never alone. Life cannot exist in a vacuum, and you are always surrounded by love.

Aquarius: Some of life’s greatest gifts come through some of life’s greatest challenges. Reflect on this, and remember to count your blessings and that the universe has your back.

Pisces: Be present in your body and aware of all the magic within you. You are a well of vast depth and emotion. The light shines upon what you cannot see to show that you are the light.

Weekly astrology summary:

Get ready to embark on a journey into the imaginal realm this week! Mercury will receive retroactive gratitude for helping us keep track of and document the details of the experience as the messenger planet holds council with the sun throughout the week’s cosmic events. Mercury blazed through the zodiac sign Leo and grounded into Virgo on Aug. 26. The midpoint of Mercury’s current cycle will be reached on Aug. 27; reflect on what was getting stirred up in your mind and heart in mid-July. Memories from that time will help process and make sense of what may surface and is maturing this week.

The surfacing relates to the incoming Pisces full moon/partial lunar eclipse that will crest on Friday, Aug. 28 at 12:18 am. This full moon will push and blur boundaries and cause the imaginal to feel a little stranger as the opposition between the sun/Mercury in Virgo and the full moon in Pisces will be challenged by unusual, yet thought-provoking Uranus Gemini. Pisces is transcendence itself and holds the energy of some of life’s greatest ponderings and unknowns. Full moons usually bring things to the surface, especially when there’s also an eclipse. Expect the unexpected and the weird leading up to and throughout the weekend. If eclipse viewing is your thing, you’re in luck! This eclipse will be almost total and visible here in southern New Jersey. Find more details, viewing times, and tips on timeanddate.com (be sure to set your location). As the week and the month close out, we’ll have some assistance and fiery motivation to bring something from the imaginal into fruition as expansive Jupiter and responsible Saturn connect harmoniously. This week’s horoscopes are focused on the Pisces full moon/eclipse; see the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific insight and guidance.
