Astrology for the Week of August 29-September 4

Before we get started, I want you to know that all times I’m going to mention are in the Eastern time zone. If you want to see the aspects discussed in the forecast on your digital calendar in your time zone, you can get that here.

This week is largely productive but I do have a caveat. Mercury is in his shadow period which means he will be retrograding back to this part of the zodiac in a few weeks. While the retrograde doesn’t begin until September 9th, I’ve already noticed some pretty significant retrograde glitches. 

I’m telling you so far in advance because this week you have the opportunity to lay some solid groundwork for anything you’ll need to be working on throughout the end of September. Things may take longer than expected or have some unexpected issues, but by preparing well now it’ll be easier to ride them out later.

Monday 8/29: 

• ☽ ▻ Libra | 5:45 AM
• ☽ ☌ ☿ at 03° 25‘ Libra | 12:10 PM
• ☽ at 05° 22‘ Libra △ ♂︎ at 05° 22‘ Gemini | 3:49 PM
• ☽ at 07° 04‘ Libra ☍ ♃ at 07° 04‘ Aries | 6:59 PM

Monday is an optimistically balanced and communicative start to the week.  Talk to all the people, make all of the plans, write and create the things.

Tuesday 8/30:

• ☽ at 20° 42‘ Libra △ ♄ at 20° 42‘ Aquarius | 8:12 PM

Tuesday there is a lot of energy to put into working diligently towards a goal. Not only do you always have the capacity to do hard things, today you’ll even believe it ;)

Wednesday 8/31:

• ☽ at 23° 55‘ Libra ✳ ♀︎ at 23° 55‘ Leo | 2:07 AM
• ☽ at 26° 26‘ Libra □ ♇ at 26° 26‘ Capricorn | 6:43 AM
• ☽ ▻ Scorpio | 1:11 PM

The moon is void for the first part of the day so focus on completing tasks rather than starting new ones until the moon moves into Scorpio at 1:11 pm eastern then it’s full steam ahead on your current crusade.

Thursday 9/1:

• ☽ at 08° 56‘ Scorpio ✳ ☉ at 08° 56‘ Virgo | 5:19 AM
• ♂︎ at 06° 49‘ Gemini ✳ ♃ at 06° 49‘ Aries | 7:51 AM
• ☽ at 18° 53‘ Scorpio ☍ ♅ at 18° 53‘ Taurus | 11:05 PM

Thursday morning the go forth and conquer energy is strong and it should carry you through the end of the day.

Friday 9/2:

• ☽ at 20° 33‘ Scorpio □ ♄ at 20° 33‘ Aquarius | 2:02 AM
• ☽ at 24° 25‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 24° 25‘ Pisces  | 8:52 AM
• ☽ at 26° 24‘ Scorpio ✳ ♇ at 26° 24‘ Capricorn | 12:22 PM
• ☽ at 26° 58‘ Scorpio □ ♀︎ at 26° 58‘ Leo | 1:21 PM
• ☽ ▻ Sagittarius | 6:39 PM
• ☿ at 06° 39‘ Libra ☍ ♃ at 06° 39‘ Aries | 9:49 PM

Friday you (and everyone else) may be riding high from the forward momentum and pushing the limits of what is realistic. Make sure your plans are firmly grounded. If not, start making some revisions before Mercury hits retrograde status next week and forces you to. 

Saturday 9/3:

• ☽ at 06° 37‘ Sagittarius △ ♃ at 06° 37‘ Aries | 6:10 AM
• ☽ at 06° 52‘ Sagittarius ✳ ☿ at 06° 52‘ Libra | 6:36 AM
• ☽ at 07° 53‘ Sagittarius ☍ ♂︎ at 07° 53‘ Gemini | 8:22 AM

Saturday everyone might be a little stabby but by 9 am eastern that should mostly be gone leaving determination to get all of the things done. It’s not the most fun Saturday in the history of ever, but it is one of the most Saturn Saturdays - which is great for work.

Sunday 9/4: 

• ☽ at 20° 24‘ Sagittarius ✳ ♄ at 20° 24‘ Aquarius | 5:49 AM
• ☽ at 29° 53‘ Sagittarius □ ♆ at 29° 53‘ Pisces  | 9:50 PM
• ☽ ▻ Capricorn | 10:02 PM

Sunday is great if you want to do something artistic, relaxing, spiritual, or otherwise a little more dreamy than analytical. The Moon moves into Capricorn at 10:02 pm eastern setting us up for a solid start to the work week on Monday.

If you’re feeling frisky, hit me up on Instagram and let me know how the astrology of the week played out for you.

Until next time, my wish for you is a quietly productive week filled with deliberate action and rest.
