A fiery Virgo New Moon, tightly squared by Mars, highlights August's second half. We also have four aspect patterns, mostly focused on Mercury, including a Grand Trine, Mystic Rectangle, Kite and Thor's Hammer. And we have Uranus turning retrograde!

Whatever your Sun Sign, my forecasts can help you make the best use of the current astrological energies. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone. Events are most powerful on the dates listed, but their influence will be active for at least a week before and after.

Everyone is affected by these global transits. However, you'll be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate sensitive points in your natal chart. Discover how these transits will personally affect you by booking a session with me.
