August 2nd to 4th in the Metaverse!

Tuesday August 2
I smell Bullshit sandwhiches! Today’s lone event is Mercury’s station to retrograde. It begins apparent backward motion through the heavens, from 1°12′ Virgo to 18°42′ Leo (August 26). Let the reflective process begin, and you’ll know your direction more precisely by the end of this time. For now, confusion due to incomplete information may be the strongest feature of our experience. Be patient, inquisitive, and imaginative until events unfold that will reveal what you need to know. The Moon is void of course in Virgo all day, the feel of yesterday’s Earth grand trine still lingering.

Wednesday August 3
At 2:22 am, Mars enters Cancer to start another round of Cardinal activity, with the emphasis on action. The things we’ve been thinking about doing we are now eager to set in motion—perhaps overly eager. At 3:04 am, the Moon enters harmonizing Libra, opening the door to fruitful initiative with a social emphasis. It immediately connects with Mars, then gives the nod to each of the Cardinal planets by the end of the day. This gives us a glimpse of what’s coming as Mars does the same thing, with sweeteners from a Mars trine to Neptune to lift our spirits with hope and idealism, and lunar sextiles to Venus and Sun to smooth our interactions with others. Use this day well, for it carries the full potential that life has to offer.

Thursday August 4
It’s a good day to apply yourself to learning something new. Curiosity rules as Mercury sextiles Mars for the second of three times (with July 11, September 29). At 8:11 pm PT, Neptune re-enters Aquarius to take us back into the linear, dispassionate inner perspective that we’ve inhabited since 1998. Now through February 2, we can finish up old lessons and creative processes that focus through our mental powers. Good news if you don’t like void-of-course Moons: With Neptune at the last degree of Aquarius, we get very short void periods most of the time again, until it re-enters Pisces (February 2). With Venus square Jupiter today, we are focused on how we can expand our wealth and our love. The Moon continues in Libra, making no contacts today.
