Planetary Weather in the sky for August:

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven

as above, so below

8/1/26 Today the Sun rises together with Jupiter in the sign of Leo.

The South Node is here too! And this means, Eclipse Season begins.

To recap: last month Mercury stationed direct on the 25th, handed over the baton to Saturn who then stationed Rx very next day along with a “True Node” nodal shift into the Aquarius/Leo axis.

Three days later we had a powerful Full Moon in Aquarius with Jupiter conjunct the Sun and Pluto conjunct the Moon. Now, we enter August with those echoing energies.

Including a Virgo-Venus/Gemini-Mars square.

8/2/26 Mercury reaches its greatest western elongation, which is about 19.3° west of the Sun, making it one of the better morning apparitions of the year for observers in the Northern Hemisphere and makes Mercury rise as a morning star.

Very dim and hard to see but look 30 or 45 min before Sunrise.

8/3/26 Chiron recently entered its 1977 discovery chart sign of Taurus.

But today it turns Rx and begins the pull back to Aries for unfinished business that it began way back on April 17, 2017. Look at your own birth chart and journal entries or remember what went on in those years since that time. Especially what changed in your life that very day or year.

Chiron will travel all the way back to 26:15 degrees Aries and turn direct on January 6, 2027.

8/7/26 Mercury leaves its so-called “Shadow Period” today.

For those who follow such things. This year for me, it seems pertinent.

Also of interest, we are in a “water element” cycle, last experienced in 2020.

Study this!

8/11/26 Mars enters the sign of Cancer.

This makes a cool sextile with Chiron Rx zero degrees Taurus,

Mars zero Cancer.

8/12/26 Solar Eclipse 20 degrees Leo!

Nice “Kite” configuration of planets:

Venus 5 degrees Libra,

Mercury 5 degrees of Leo,

Uranus 5 degrees of Gemini.

Then there’s Pluto at 4 degrees of Aquarius. Close enough.

8/15/26 Mercury/Jupiter conjunction at 10 degrees Leo.

8/22/26 The Sun joins up with the South Node, then enters Virgo

8/25/26 Mercury joins up with the South Node, then enters Virgo.

8/27/26 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 4:54 degrees of Virgo.

Shortly after, Mercury’s Superior Conjunction occurs.

This Lunar Eclipse is speaking deep secrets. Listen carefully.

8/31/26 We end with an extremely nice Leo-Jupiter/Aries-Saturn Fire Element Trine

at 13 degrees, as Mars moves to, you guessed it: 13 Cancer!

It’s been a month of endings,

and new beginnings.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said that, "every process in nature, rightly observed, awakens in us a new organ of cognition, creating in the wake of an ever-creative nature,…”

Let’s start being more creative? Shall we pray for peace? Enlightenment? Revelations?

Why not.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
