The Planets This Week: August 27, 2018

The astro weather of the week is action planet Mars finally turns direct after more than six weeks of being retrograde. Under this influence, we’ll want tangible, measurable results — concrete evidence of our efforts. We’ll be a paragon of pragmatism now and aren’t likely to make a move unless you’ve thought through all the possible outcomes. We might have a tendency to being too cautious or even fearful, missing out on a golden opportunity. We need to trust our instincts to guide us toward cautious risks.

Mars turned retrograde in Aquarius on June 26th and continued its backward movement in Capricorn until August 27th. This retrograde period could have indicated anger and temper issues, and these feelings may have been turned inward instead of being openly expressed. This could have led to all sorts of unfortunate effects, including temporary depression. Initiative may be thwarted during this time but the good news is that plans and progress can start to move full steam ahead!

Also, this week, there’s a Full Moon in Pisces. During this time, we may be feeling more compassionate about the way we’ve touched other people’s hearts. Romance is especially highlighted with this bright moon, so make sure to indulge in plenty of candlelight and kisses. Great joy can come from spending time with those you love. As the moon begins to wane, many of us might want to spend time alone in meditation, getting in touch with ourselves on a deeper level than we usually make time for. We may have some marvelous psychic visions that can guide us in the future. It’s a great time to replenish our spirit for the next cycle ahead.

Tune in on Monday 6pm PT/9pm ET to find out more…
