It’s an excellent day to mitigate anxiety amidst destabilizing structures by keeping the intellect busy with problem-solving or making upgrades in work, health, or communication routines.

Mercury conjuncts Mars in Virgo while both form a natural, earthy Grand Trine with the hard-working Capricorn Moon and shape shifting Uranus as it slows down in Taurus after the Moon’s mentally oppressive square to Venus in Libra. Mercury and Mars also jump into a hard square with ‘relationships of the past‘ Juno on the South Node, as well as a misaligned quincunx to health conscious Chiron Rx. Jupiter Rx is also semisquare to Chiron.

Slipping into self-doubt or self-denigration can be all too easy unless the intellect is busy with focused, hard work or changing up your daily food, health, fitness, or body-related routine. Communication issues can lead to conflict, or to authentic connections….

It might take some real guts, but if you can face the issue and fix it, the Cosmos are in your favor.

Relationships or career ambitions of the past may attempt to pull you back in, but they still don’t provide the security you long for, and may only contribute to more worries or fears.

With that said, insecurities are not as bad as they might seem. Watch for overanalyzing. However, self-doubts or self-denigration can reveal just how safe you really are within a group….

Who or what draws out pretentious ego displays or conflict rather than generating authentic connections?

As you dare to walk away from the past or connections which lack trust… new, more authentic partnerships – as well as truly helpful, practical information sources – are favored.

It’s a good idea to stay grounded with conscious choices. Tomorrow’s Sun opposition to Jupiter Rx can bring out experiences of loss, unfairness, or humiliation but these are opportunities to simply accept mistakes.

Venus positions in relationship-harmony Libra on Sunday and Mercury conjoins Mars this week with inspired change, both in anxiety aspects to the Nodes, relationship Juno, and health conscious Chiron Rx supported by Saturn Rx. On Thursday, the enlightening Leo Sun opposes bold but debilitated Jupiter Rx in Aquarius while Uranus stations retrograde in another Fixed sign, Taurus. Just after Uranus’ station, Mercury and Mars join in with an inspiring trine. Quincunx Yod aspects continue calling for change. The week ends with a clarifying Full Moon in Aquarius intensified by Jupiter, just before the Moon’s emotional liberation in Pisces.

Some may need bold life changes this week, especially when it comes to physical or emotional health; however, sustainable change is easier to make.

Others may need to simply stay on track with patience, tenacity, and trust in your objective already in play. Trust your intuition to stay committed to a worthy relationship or your life passion.

Mental anxiety signals too much intellect and not enough emotional freedom. The unresolved past may pull you back in but it’s an ego trap, potentially leading to conflicting information, mental disorder, or an eating disorder.

Surfacing emotions reveal important information which may be difficult to accept, but are ultimately liberating if you can listen to their advice.

A lot needs to be figured out but you can take it one step at a time and fully enjoy each success along the way. It’s easier to see clearly and feel proud of small, consistent achievements. Taking calculated risks feels especially satisfying as well.

Overall, it’s a beautiful week in the Cosmos. Just watch for overoptimism. Some may be overconfident or defiant, at the risk of denting a valuable relationship or hard work already achieved. Watch for overconsumption of technology. Consequences, in this case, may show up early next week.

Accepting (rather than hiding) insecurities allows you to stay cautious while actively and powerfully (yet humbly) following your passion. Obstacles fade out in the face of simple, genuine inspired action.


MONTHLY ASTRO

August 2021

Clarity and Calm

The month of July may end with unresolved issues or mental unrest. However, August provides various opportunities to become mentally calm and clear.

The key to this month is to become aware of what you feed your mind and how it affects your quality of life. False information or media programming can keep you trapped in unnecessary confusion, stress, anxieties, or other forms of suffering.

To keep your mind clear, it’s imperative to be extremely selective with information or media sources you’re exposed to. Don’t be afraid to turn off the TV, leave a social media platform, or get fed up with the political, religious, or Hollywood agenda used to control your mind, and your life.

A regular meditation practice may help some. Or, you might keep your intellect busy with research that makes your life better. Clearing out distractions that don’t align with your personal objectives can also support mental clarity and relaxation. Take time to care for your mind.

Those who are off track may experience an actual crisis or emergency this month; however, a clear mind can allow you to sail right through it.

After removing information sources and media entertainment that don’t serve your personal objectives and your well-being… now you can relax. Also, your natural creative inspiration and intellectual brilliance can flow through your actions, allowing you to achieve your best potential.

The whole month provides different opportunities to break free from mental tyranny so you can ENJOY your life and work, rather than get lost in social indoctrination or misled beliefs that make you suffer.
