Weekly astrology summary:
It’s a cosmically active week! The highlight and crown jewel of August is this week’s Aquarius full moon occurring on Saturday, Aug. 9 at 3:55 a.m. This is no ordinary full moon! Aquarius is anything but ordinary, and this full moon features planetary connections that may feel like an entire system reboot with a new operating system installation on an individual and collective level. Surprising information may surface that has the potential to have us all scratching our heads. Mercury retrograde ends on Aug. 11. On Aug. 11-12, Venus and Jupiter embrace in the zodiac sign Cancer, bringing clarity and benevolence to the post-full moon vibe. Venus and Jupiter coming together is visually stunning.
