The week starts off with the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini on August 26th pushing us to release the past and start fresh in all aspects of our lives. Venus in Virgo harmonizes with Uranus in Taurus on August 27, urging us to break free of old patterns in relationships. Mercury retrograde ends the story that began on August 5 on the 28th. This is a time when we will be able to have clear communication and reassess matters that have occurred over the past several weeks. The same day, Venus opposes Neptune retrograde in Pisces, creating confusion, paranoia, ambiguity, and delusion to romantic and financial matters. Luckily, Venus enters Libra on August 29, bringing  diplomacy and fairness to partnerships. Later in the morning, Venus aspects Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, creating power dynamics with others. On September 1, Uranus retrograde commences, lasting until January 30, 2025. This is a moment in which we’ll want to  implement change into our life and decide how we want to grow. Pluto retrograde re-enters Capricorn on September 1, taking us back to the end of 2023. Now, we have the chance to make sure we are on the right path as we move onward and forward with our lives.
