“Go, said the bird, for the leaves were full of children,
Hidden, excitedly containing laughter.
“Go, go,go,” said the bird :human kind
cannot bear too much reality.” T.S Eliot
The week starts off with a variety of influences. If you have been feeling confused or not quite up to par, that could well be connected with the current square of Mars and Neptune. It’s a good time to strengthen the immune system. Things can seem murky under this influence and it can blur perceptions. The good news is this aspect is wanting now and will be less of an influence as the week goes on.
Fortunately Saturn is making a harmonious alignment with Mercury provding an anchor of sorts. This can help stabilize and bring clarity to the thought process.
With Mars is in Cancer now, there can be more sensitivity and concern about family/extended family issues. Fortunately .Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn are aligned harmoniously. This provides a good time to reach out and check in with people we care about. Cancer is the sign of family, mothering and nurturing. Mars will be in the sign of Cancer through late September.
It’s wise to remember we are in between eclipses with the upcoming Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on August 28. Things that may seem confusing or unresolved may reach further resolution at the Lunar Eclipse or shortly therafter,
The Sun is moving up to a conjunction with the South Node this week. This can sometimes bring people from our past – especially those we have karmic relationships with – back into our lives.
It’s wise to watch for slipping into old patterns that are disempowering with the South Node influence.
The Sun will enter the sign of Virgo on August 22.
