Week of August 26
Venus in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus at 3:23 AM on August 27 — Unexpected gifts!
Things could come together very quickly and unexpectedly at this time. We might get turned on by novel delights we never imagined or could become attracted to something (or someone!) outside our usual type or preference. This is an exciting moment to experiment and simply have fun!
Venus in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces at 4:24 PM on August 28 — Bubbles burst!
A very sleepy, maybe lazy, or unfocused atmosphere could flow! Venus rules beauty, but Neptune can be the planet of confusion; for example, perhaps today isn’t the day to get your hairdresser to understand your vision for the brand-new look you’re going for!
Disappointment is a keyword often associated with this alignment. To that, I say: keep the bar low and laugh about it! Instead of hitting up a classy joint and being disappointed in the $24 cocktails, just grab a can from the corner store and watch the sunset on the side of the road. Beauty can be found anywhere; don’t search too hard for it.
Ultimately, Venus opposite Neptune is about putting unreasonable expectations in check, understanding who is delusional and untrustworthy among us, and clarifying what we want and value.
Venus enters Libra at 9:23 AM on August 29 — Sweet and just.
Fair give and take could be highlighted in our relationships during this period. Relationships — in general!— are highlighted as Libra loves love! Small talk could flow smoothly at this time, which bodes well for flirtation. Compromise and collaboration could come easily within committed partnerships. A new trend could sweep the scene, and we might feel inspired to update our wardrobes!
Venus in Libra trines Pluto in Aquarius at 10:31 AM on August 29 — Profound connections!
Hugely passionate encounters might take place! This could be an incredible moment in our relationships: whether you’re in love, making new friends, or connecting with new colleagues, the connections strengthened at this time could have a profound impact on our lives, and deep bonds could be forged. In air signs Libra and Aquarius, themes like communication, social status, and intellectual connection are highlighted. Beautiful transformations could take place at this time.
Pluto reenters Capricorn at 7:58 PM on September 1 — A reminder of our power?
Something may have begun in your life around 2008: maybe it was a dream for your future. Maybe you began a career or a course of study, or maybe it was the beginning of a friendship. Whatever it was, it might have been an important center of your life, and it could have been an area where you have developed great power and impact over all these years. Now that Pluto is reentering Capricorn, you might remember or reconnect with that dominion and influence you cultivated. What do you want to do with the authority you hold?
Uranus retrograde in Taurus begins at 11:18 AM on September 1 — Fix and tinker.
Remember the big surprises you’ve experienced over the last few months? Now that the dust has settled, how do you want to rework things? Are you open to experimentation? Do you want to fix or adjust the changes that took place? Perhaps something shocked you, and you were not ready to share your feelings about it or respond at the time, and now you are ready to say what you need to say or make the changes you’d like to make. Perhaps a significant upgrade occurred in the last few months, and now you’re reflecting on how this innovation has changed your life.
