Your Weekly Overview August 10th – August 16th

Something’s simmering below the surface—and this Thursday, August 13, it could erupt like a dormant volcano, as in-your-face Mars, stomping through Aries, clashes with possessive Pluto in Capricorn. With these two in a fierce square (astrostyle.com/aspects/square), a cesspool of secrets could spew to the surface. Though you may feel like running for cover, good luck turning away from this hot (lava) mess.

The truth could be stranger than fiction, and it’s going to take a moment to digest it all. If something feels off, follow your intuition and investigate. Pluto wants you to be as stealth as a panther, which means tempering the very “Mars in Aries” urge to blow up in rage. Clumsily handled cases could give the secret keepers a chance to destroy key evidence. On a personal level, moods may be stormy leading up to Thursday. Should your inner Darth Vader drop by for a visit, do whatever it takes to stay in a Jedi mindset, even if you ARE mad enough to blow up a galaxy. Letting feelings run rampant could bring a swift rebuke, or even provoke revenge. Under this dynamic mashup, risks—if warranted—should be calculated with extreme caution. And don’t jump into the middle of an argument without hearing both sides or you may be signing up for weeks of aggravation.

On Saturday, 2020’s final outer planet turns retrograde. Until January 14, 2021, radical Uranus will be on a reverse commute through traditional Taurus, the sign it’s calling home from May 2018 to April 2026. Revolutionaries may go back to the drawing board to huddle and review strategy. Uranus has been weaving in and out of the Bull’s pen for the past two years, which has been quite the head trip. The side-spinning planet rules all things disruptive and futuristic, while earth sign Taurus is a conservational traditionalist. While this might feel like a contradiction, that’s not necessarily the case.

The boots-on-the-ground activism of 2020, including the global support for Black Lives Matter, or groups like #WallOfMoms which are creating human barriers between police and protestors, are proof-positive of this transit. Taurus rules our financial foundations, and the unanticipated economic disruption from COVID lockdowns has the fingerprints of this transit all over it. While this five-month retrograde may initially create a chaotic cloud, it may force us to integrate the new information that has come to light through the transformative events of the year. If you’re wondering where this is all leading, here’s how to begin your search: Follow the money…and not just on a surface level. This will be eye-opening, to say the least.

Even if protesting in the streets is not your chosen methodology for making a difference in your community, you can still do your part to shift the tide. Don’t let anyone convince you that small actions don’t matter—and you CAN start in your building or on your block. On a personal note, while retrograde in Taurus, Uranus points us towards simple, sensory joys: holding hands, preparing a meal with garden-fresh ingredients, walking barefoot in the grass. Over the next five months, don’t take these “little things” for granted!
