[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of August 11 - 17

Mercury stationed direct about 30 minutes to go and it’s almost time to celebrate. Full disclosure, planetary stations are usually when the shenanigans are at maximum volume. 

Monday 08/11

• ☽ at 12° 52‘ Pisces △ ♀︎ at 12° 52‘ Cancer |1:11am - 1:11am Eastern
• ☽ at 13° 52‘ Pisces △ ♃ at 13° 52‘ Cancer |2:54am - 2:54am Eastern
• ☿ ▻ Direct at 04° 14‘ Leo| 3:29am - 3:29am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ☊ at 18° 29‘ Pisces  |10:52am - 10:52am Eastern
• ☽ V/C |10:52am» Eastern
• ♄ at 01° 12‘ Aries ✳ ♅ at 01° 12‘ Gemini |11:32pm - 11:32pm Eastern

Monday decisions or plans that have been going in circles for weeks finally get settled, while elsewhere a new framework or plan gets an unexpected push forward. 

Neither change depends on the other, but together they make the day feel like things are moving forward on multiple fronts.

• Best for: Finalizing stalled agreements, using unconventional methods to solve developing problems
• Potential Challenges: Revelations connected to recent delays, shifting information that alters the outcome

Technically, tomorrow at 1:30 am eastern is the Venus-Jupiter conjunction but it is seriously building today. It’s easily one of the best transits of the year and it’s a great day to lean into the magic happening in your Cancer house.

Tuesday 08/12

• ♀︎ ☌ ♃ at 14° 03‘ Cancer |1:30am - 1:30am Eastern
• ☽ V/C |» 6:32am Eastern 
• ☽ ▻ Aries |6:32am - 6:32am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 01° 10‘ Aries  | 8:33am - 8:33am Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 12‘ Aries ✳ ♅ at 01° 12‘ Gemini | 8:36am - 8:36am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 01° 47‘ Aries  |9:36am - 9:36am Eastern

• 🌖 Waning Gibbous Moon | 3:38pm - 3:38pm Eastern

Tuesday the Venus-Jupiter conjunction is still showering us with glittery goodness and it’s a really great example of how one area of life can be going great and other areas of life are on the struggle bus.

Speaking of that more challenging part. Over the weekend there might’ve been some drama that is now getting reactivated, but this time with louder emotions. 

• Best for: Locking in support, making smart moves that still feel bold, finding a way to maneuver a situation that’s been stuck
• Potential Challenges: Emotions turning a small issue into a bigger fight, agendas colliding, rushing into decisions before the dust settles

PSA: Not every transit will be a big deal for every person - sometimes it’ll be background noise or something nice that happens that isn’t ground breaking.

Wednesday 08/13

• ☽ at 14° 18‘ Aries □ ♃ at 14° 18‘ Cancer |6:51am - 6:51am Eastern
• ☽ at 15° 36‘ Aries □ ♀︎ at 15° 36‘ Cancer |9:02am - 9:02am Eastern
• ☽ at 21° 26‘ Aries △ ☉ at 21° 26‘ Leo |6:54pm - 6:54pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C |6:54pm» Eastern

Wednesday people are going to have a lot of BIG ideas but may not be thinking much about whether they’re reasonable before charging full steam ahead.

• Best for: Pushing ahead on something exciting, grabbing opportunities, leaning into what feels energizing
• Potential Challenges: Overpromising to get your way, letting personal wants override practical limits, ignoring warning signs because the momentum feels good

Thursday 08/14

• ☽ ▻ Taurus |9:21am - 9:21am Eastern
• ☽ V/C |» 9:21am Eastern
• ☽ at 02° 07‘ Taurus □ ♇ at 02° 07‘ Aquarius |12:56pm - 12:56pm Eastern
• ☽ at 05° 00‘ Taurus □ ☿ at 05° 00‘ Leo |5:48pm - 5:48pm Eastern
• ☿ at 05° 05‘ Leo ✳ ♂︎  at 05° 05‘ Libra |10:04pm - 10:04pm Eastern

Thursday power plays and hidden maneuvering slip into the open, throwing communication and timing off balance. 

While some messages or even transactions stall under the extra pressure, others get pushed ahead with direct statements or quick negotiating. 

• Best for: Acting quickly when the facts are clear, making direct requests, securing agreements while momentum is strong
• Potential Challenges: Information arriving late or incomplete, unseen influences steering decisions, rushing action before all details are confirmed

Friday 08/15

• ☽ at 14° 44‘ Taurus ✳ ♃ at 14° 44‘ Cancer |10:14am - 10:14am Eastern
• ☽ at 18° 19‘ Taurus ✳ ♀︎ at 18° 19‘ Cancer |4:16pm - 4:16pm Eastern

Friday is nice. It should be easier to secure support, resources, or cooperation, especially if there is something tangible on the table. There’s a nice steady pace to help end the week on a productive note (also pretty great for a date night).

• Best for: Securing material support, finalizing mutually beneficial arrangements, building on existing goodwill
• Potential Challenges: Assuming goodwill means unlimited resources, overlooking long-term costs in the moment

Saturday 08/16

• 🌗 Last Quarter Moon |1:12am - 2:12am Eastern
• ☽ V/C |1:12am - 12:00pm Eastern
• ☽ at 23° 36‘ Taurus □ ☉ at 23° 36‘ Leo |1:12am - 1:12am Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Gemini |12:00pm - 12:00pm Eastern
• ☽ at 00° 58‘ Gemini ✳ ♄ at 00° 58‘ Aries |1:38pm - 1:38pm Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♅ at 01° 17‘ Gemini  |2:11pm - 2:11pm Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 42‘ Gemini ✳ ♆ at 01° 42‘ Aries |2:54pm - 2:54pm Eastern
• ☽ at 02° 04‘ Gemini  △ ♇ at 02° 04‘ Aquarius |3:31pm - 3:31pm Eastern
• ☽ at 06° 13‘ Gemini ✳ ☿ at 06° 13‘ Leo |10:33pm - 10:33pm Eastern
• ☽ at 06° 21‘ Gemini △ ♂︎ at 06° 21‘ Libra |10:47pm - 10:47pm Eastern

Saturday is way more active than one might expect for the first day of the weekend. The rapid pace has a surprising amount of structure backing it up, making it possible to make quick decisions that are still well thought out.

There will probably be some unforeseen twists and turns but nothing that slows down the forward momentum too much. 

• Best for: Acting quickly, turning surprises into workable plans
• Potential Challenges: Overlooking small but important factors, moving so fast that follow-through suffers

Sunday 08/17

• No Transits

Sunday there are no transits happening in the sky but that doesn’t mean the transiting planets aren’t activating something in your birth chart. Because of that today is a bit more of a wild card than usual.

• Best for: Noticing patterns in your own chart, staying flexible enough to work with unexpected developments, using the open space to follow what comes up naturally
• Potential Challenges: A lack of clear direction, drifting through the day without making progress

Until next time, my wish for you is a magical moment in the midst of the mundane. - Robin💋
