| | Dear Stargazers,
I'm sending this newsletter out a day earlier than usual because with the exception of tomorrow's live presentation/Q&A at 12 Noon about my new mentoring program (click here now to register for the Zoom meeting), I'll be celebrating my daughter's birthday (a/k/a the day I became a mom!) Shortly after the presentation, a link to a replay will be sent out to everyone who registered for the event.
Now let's take a look at the week ahead! |

NEW MOON at 26°35' LEO August 18, 2020 | 10:42 PM Washington, DC
This month's new moon in the playful, willful and confident sign of Leo, and as the fifth sign of the natural zodiac, it rules romance, children, creative self-expression and all forms of recreation. Given its conjunction to Mercury, this New Moon is likely to find many of you thinking and/or planning something that will bring you pleasure.
A powerful boost of energy from Mars to the New Moon and Mercury not only suggests that it will be easier than usual to find inspiration but that you'll be eager to get started and put your plan into action.
However, the influence of a quincunx from Saturn to the New Moon and Mercury is likely to put some type of damper on your plans by requiring some type of adjustment or needing someone's approval. Frustration is likely because in addition to aspecting the New Moon and Mercury, Mars in Aries (action) and Saturn in Capricorn (restriction) are closely squaring (challenging) each other in this chart.
Should that be the case, the goods news is that the Venus-Uranus sextile offers an opportunity to overcome it and keep the peace through a considerate (Venus) and innovative (Uranus) solution. |
