Hello friends. A few words about me for the benefit of new readers. I am devoted to Land, Stars & Mystery. I explore connections between human and other-than-human and weave Nature, myth and magick into my offerings. I am a certified Western Astrologer and Life Coach. I’ve been reading star maps for over two decades. Currently, I am researching LUCK🍀 and how it shows up and plays out in the birth chart. My books are currently open for astrology and tarot readings.
On Thursday the Sun enters Virgo and our attention turns towards details… the dots, the commas, the degrees, the footnotes, the receipts…you may already be aware of this impulse to collect, to label, to organize and to file away.
The Moon is void all day Friday the 23rd so you may want to reschedule important conversations or meetings for another day.
Void-of-course Moon (VOC) read this post.
All times are Pacific Time
Read about Monday’s (19 Aug) Full Moon in Aquarius here.
Today the Moon is in Pisces.
A moon of rarities found between tides. A moon of fruiting seaweed, hermit crabs and sea slugs. A moon of dreams - ocean waves, pirates, mermen with pearls for eyes. A moon for weaving dream experiences into waking life. Enchant a symbol, a sigil, a tarot card, an artwork. The Moon is waning, focus on getting rid of unwanted compulsions and habits. Break psychic links.
Wednesday 21 August
VOC 2:53am - 4:01pm
Moon enters Aries 4:01pm
Moon sextile Pluto in Aquarius 4:02pm
Moon sextile Jupiter in Gemini
A moon (strengthened by a harmonious aspect to Pluto) that encourages you to take the lead. If you do not feel ready to take charge in some area of your life (look at your Aries house for clues) then work on developing the capacity to lead and influence others by studying the lives of those you admire. With the Sun preparing to enter Mercury-ruled Virgo, use this waning moon in Aries to clean up past mistakes. Imagine a sword of fire in your mind and cut down negative thoughts.
In your communications, share your plan or tactics if you wish to gain support from a group.

Sun enters Virgo 7:54am
Venus in Virgo square Mars in Gemini 8:20pm
Details.
Small gestures that show your partner you love and care about them matter. Vocalize your affection. Touch. Snuggle up. Go for a walk. Make something special. Reach for your partner instead of the phone.
Friday 23 August
VOC 5:44am - 5pm
Mercury Rx trine Chiron 5:20am
Moon enters Taurus at 5pm
Regressus ad uterum. A rebirth. This is a good day to “go back before you go forward”. Think back to a time when you were most vulnerable and in need of compassion or a kind word. Then, cast your mind back to that time and see yourself giving your past Self reassurance or some helpful guidance. Do know this is magical work and if done properly you may feel a little out of sorts. What you are doing here is a form of time travelling.
Saturday 24 August
Moon in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces
A moon of buttermilk pancakes and waffles and French toast drizzled with maple syrup and crowned with blackberries and strawberries. A moon of gardens and emerald green meadows. A moon that encourages gratitude and the sharing of blessings. Give gratitude for resources - all those attributes and things beyond food and shelter that include your self-awareness, creativity, health and friendships. With Saturn in play, consider how limitations and restrictions have actually contributed to your growth.
I will be back in your inbox tomorrow with a post on why we look for signs and how to spot these signs.
