Astrology Brief for August 31-27, 2023 + Mars in Libra and Mercury Retrograde from Sandra Helton©

We’re on an upswing as the lunar tide grows toward the upcoming Super Blue Moon on August 30. All week energy increases giving a nice current to elevate you and help you to gain ground and progress. The tide shifts on Thursday with the Quarter Moon in Sagittarius that for the following week links the world through more esoteric forms of communication.

Mars plays a prominent role that on Tuesday opposes Neptune, on Thursday trines Pluto, and on Sunday moves into Libra.

Mars opposite Neptune on Tuesday is peculiar with an edge of distrust so proceed with caution and avoid involvement. It’s best not to become too close or take risks. Ensure foods are fresh, places are as they profess, and circumstances are reliable.

Also on Tuesday, Venus is square Jupiter that suggests being safe and not taking risks. It’s not a time to invest or go all out if fanciful thinking is involved. There is a tomorrow and accountability so being optimistic is great as long as it’s not costly.

The Sun begins transiting Virgo on Wednesday bringing a month of working with reason and all practical matters. The month is about management of priorities and realigning your life toward efficiency.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury that on Wednesday turns Retrograde in this sign that further emphasizes staying on track with all needs and practical matters. The retrograde lasts for three weeks giving you time to restore and revamp as needed.

Mars trine Pluto on Thursday lends strength and that extra push to make your mark. It’s a bit like a rocket booster.

Mars in Libra from Sunday until October 12 activates all direct relationships and dealing with the public. Libra is about finding harmony through resolution and understanding. Marriage and close connections including business partnerships are stirred so you may be working through issues and anywhere something has been left faltering. This is partly about give and take and seeing other perspectives.

AFFIRMATION

These affirmations are composed based on current celestial placements. As a clinical hypnotherapist I’ve studied writing scripts for clients so the composition is written with the intent to allow connecting with the heavens and expanding awareness to be more in harmony for the highest good. Taking a moment to be still and ideally in a quiet place, or even when going to sleep, the reading or speaking of these may be helpful and benefit your soul journey. Even just seeing it can be beneficial. 

“I am centered through refined awareness of all interactions.”

KEY WORDS

Order; refine’ steadiness
