The week of August 23-August 29 2022 begins with the Moon in it’s home sign of Cancer making family, devotion and our private life feel like it’s more important than other things for the time being.

Uranus officially turns retrograde after slowing creeping through the middle degrees of Taurus.

Mercury moves into the sign of Libra where it begins to go retrograde. This is officially the unofficial first week of Mercury retrograde season.

Venus and Uranus have an argument, making for the perfect circumstances for drastic or rash changes.

The New Moon in Virgo perfects in the early morning hours while squaring Mars, giving us the determination to get our life back on track.

And finally Venus opposes Saturn as she finishes up her journey through Leo.

This week brings up feelings of preparing for the end of something. There is a feeling of change in the air and we are in between the final stages of the old and moving into new circumstances. The challenge arises with social obligations to belong to a group mindset. Keep the mind sharp this week and find the courage to speak up when something doesn’t follow common logic. Criticism doesn’t always have to be a negative thing, use it constructively.
