8/19/24 – A day with 5 key aspects: More importantly today’s aspects form 2 powerful configurations and highlight the charts of the United States, Kamala Harris’ and Donald Trump’s too.
-- Venus/Virgo square Jupiter/Gemini @ 17deg. & Mars/Gemini @ 19deg. – It’s easy to get lost in the details or wind up in the weeds. You’ll expect to accomplish much and maybe you will. The chances are though that you’re likely to overwhelm yourself, get tired and then not do as good a job on some of those tasks. That might lead to self-criticism. Don’t fall into that trap. Feel the exuberant energy you have and apply that to your most pressing tasks. The key to this aspect is sorting and differentiating, avoiding useless distractions. Speak clearly of your dreams and ideals and ground them in practicality. The addition of Mars just a few degrees away from this T-square adds energy and action and increases spirited and direct communication of all kinds. Given all circumstances protests are on the radar and there is potential tension.
-- Venus/Virgo opposite SaturnRx/Pisces @ 17deg. – Simultaneously this is the balancing aspect previously mentioned. Focus on your priorities or anything that’s time-sensitive, or presenting in crisis mode. Leave the rest for another day. These three planets form a triangular aspect called a T-square with the open end in Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, bringing us back to the current Jupiter in Gemini – a profusion or excess of ideas. Choose wisely. Venus is the personal planet in the configuration, highlighting the issues of women and the status of women at this moment in time. Relationships and the resources your share with others is included in this energy pattern. How we support one another and use our available resources is at issue.
-- Sun/Leo and Moon/Aquarius square Uranus/Taurus @ 27deg. – Unexpected windfalls or dramatic surprises. This aspect of excitement can be filled with the unusual, creative, unique. It’s an aspect of awakening to something previously unseen, unknown, unnoticed. It’s often a window into a possible future. The Full Moon fulfills the promise of the New Moon @ 12 Leo on 8/4/24 and how important it is to move through life with an open heart, respecting all of life in every form, celebrating diversity and differences and consistently looking forward to better expressions of humanity that benefit all people. This forms another T-square in the sky today. A powerful moment opening out to Scorpio. This can bring danger since emotions are charged up and extremes can easily go out of control.
-- Full Moon 27 Aquarius @ 2:26PM – This degree is the exact degree of the USA Moon making this Moon phase a powerfully dominant moment for the mood of the country. It happens to fall exactly on the opening day of the Democratic convention. And it conjuncts Kamala Harris’ natal Saturn @ 28 deg. marking this as a serious consequential moment in her life. She is recognized for her power and competence. Quite the synchronicity! This FM also opposes Donald Trump’s Mars @ 26 Leo and conjuncts his Descendant @ 29 Aquarius. Full Moon’s are about visibility, a flowering of the promise of the New Moon. For Trump, he is clearly irritated, often the case when the Moon and Mars meet. He seeks attention, relevancy and surely we will hear from him.
-- Jupiter/Gemini square SaturnRx/Pisces #1 @ 17deg. – In the midst of all this activity we mark the first of two Jupiter/Saturn squares. This signifies a modulating influence. Modulating extremes and finding common ground in the middle is the ideal. Essentially supply and demand square off and seek to find a balance. Fault lines are exposed and modifications are necessary. The second square takes place on 12/24/24. The time between these two squares holds the election of the next President of the United States. The days around the second square on 12/24/24 will have an important link of continuity to today’s activities and events.
Lastly a word about PlutoRx back at 0 Aquarius and NeptuneRx at 29 degrees sextile each other holding the alpha and omega points. We are on the cusp of a brave new world where we’ve been in the past - but this is here and this is now and this is our moment to progress with vision.
