Check All Details This Week Because Your Math Needs to Math, Baby
The astrology of August 24–August 30
As the sun and Mercury move along in Virgo, we’re in the mood for clarity and cleanliness in every area of our lives. The math needs to math, baby. This week, we’re doing the uncomfortable work of creating, implementing, and tweaking our processes.
Monday morning, Mercury (in Virgo) has a chat with Chiron (retrograde in Aries) about adjusting the way we talk and think about the effects of toxic masculinity and violence. It can be uncomfortable to go in-depth about the ways that we have been affected by actions conducted in anger.
Later on that day, we further explore our sore points when Mars (in Aries) squares Saturn (retrograde in Capricorn).

This is where you separate your identity from the influence of authority figures based on what you’ve accomplished. Mars and Saturn are at home in their current placements, and they’re looking to get things done. Be encouraged by the completion of the work. On a mundane level, we could see tensions rise between corporations, government, law enforcement, and the military.

Here is where we can plan the beginnings of a vision for a new economy and society. Much of the news and conversations will involve detailing the value of the working class. It’s time for us to revolutionize the way we see commerce. What resources do we need to stay healthy? What resources do we have at our disposal? How can we navigate the systems in place to get what we need?
Tuesday evening, Venus (in Cancer) opposes Jupiter (retrograde in Capricorn) and asks what’s the benefit or risk of sharing your vision, dreams, vulnerabilities, or protection with someone? What duty do you have to those you love? What are you willing to do to assure that your relationships are safe and lasting? Be careful what you indulge in today especially when it comes to emotional eating, spending, or declarations. Under these skies, it’s easy…
