This Is a Good Week to Get Your Hustle On
ZORAscope: Your astrological cheat sheet for August 17 — August 23
And just like that, the fun of summer is almost over. This week, we have a new moon, Mercury, and a new zodiacal birthday season to celebrate.
First thing Monday, Mercury (in Leo) gets a boost from Mars (in Aries), which encourages all of us to utilize bold speech. This is a good day to live in or develop a creative performance or a presentation. It will have a significant impact. People will be talking about action, power, and prestige. In the news, we may hear more about the police as well as a military presence. This is a time to do your heavy thinking as this transit will help you blaze through whatever problems are on your heart. Keep in mind that it’s possible to be too assertive and arrogant when it comes to what you’re doing and especially what you aspire to do.
What kind of queendom do you need to build in order to feel secure and proud on your throne?
Speaking of aspirations, late Monday morning, the sun (in Leo) joins with Mercury, helping you to take care of business and tasks that will make you a star. This energy could also be extremely self-centered, so take time to dream and plan for your empire. What kind of queendom do you need to build in order to feel secure and proud on your throne?
Tuesday is busy, starting with Mercury (in Leo) having an uncomfortable chat with Saturn (retrograde in Capricorn). This talk leads to us relieving our hearts and minds of unnecessary burdens and boundaries. This will temper any bravado left over from Monday.
Tuesday afternoon, Venus (in Cancer) collaborates with Uranus (retrograde in Taurus), helping us to break through the connections and relations that change the way we view nourishment and wealth. This transit signals a need for our bonds to be fruitful and, more than that, to bear fruit that we can actually eat. To take this analogy further, if your relationships had to produce actual food, would you eat it? How can we connect in a healthier, organic, or more sustainable way? As we cope with the massive societal changes happening, these new emotions/needs require new techniques to soothe them…
