New
Moon Aug 6 at 5:50 PM EDT/ 2:50 PM PDT at 14 Leo 34. Trines Uranus retro
at 12 Ari. Be bold, Think differently, show originality.
Full
Moon Aug 20 at 9:44 PM EDT/ 6:44 PM PDT from 28 Aqu 10. With Mercury
at 24 Leo, this Full Moon is at the midpoint of the exact Jupiter square
to Uranus (see below). Look for ways to find release.

Key
Aspects:
Jupiter
opposes Pluto retro Aug 7 at 7:46 PM EDT/ 4:46 PM PDT from 9 Can 26.
Jupiter moves into the Uranus-Pluto square while returning to its birth
position in the US chart, while still maintaining its presence in the
Grand Water Trine with Saturn at 5 Sco and Neptune retro at 4 Pisc. Look
for nourishment and a sense of protection. This opposition is the culmination
of the Jupiter-Pluto cycle that began with their conjunction in Dec 2007:
"The Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic
Research met by conference call on Friday, November 28. The committee
maintains a chronology of the beginning and ending dates (months and quarters)
of U.S. recessions. The committee determined that a peak in economic activity
occurred in the U.S. economy in December 2007. The peak marks the end
of the expansion that began in November 2001 and the beginning of a recession."
When did Jupiter oppose Pluto before? 2001.
Mercury
squares Saturn Aug 11 at 2:04 PM EDT/ 11:04 AM PDT from 5 Leo 46. Mercury
also trines Uranus retro at 12 Ari. Careful articulation, obstructed transportation,
heavy or serious thoughts.
Jupiter
squares Uranus retro Aug 21 at 3:15 AM EDT/ 12:15 AM PDT from 12 Can
03. Forming a Cardinal T-Square with Venus at 5 Libr. This is the square
that occurs while the Full Moon occupies its midpoint (see above). What
might be too large at this point in time? Where does this energy go?
Venus
squares Pluto retro Aug 24 at 6:01 AM EDT/ 3:01 AM PDT from 9 Lib 10.
Forming a potent Cardinal Grand Cross with Uranus-Moon at 12-15 Ari and
Jupiter at 12 Can. This will be the last planet to hit Uranus-Pluto for
now.
Sun
conjuncts Mercury Aug 24 at 4:56 PM EDT/ 1:56 PM PDT at 1 Virg 50. Opposing
Neptune retro at 4 Pisc.
Mercury
opposes Neptune retro Aug 25 at 7:12 PM EDT/ 4:12 PM PDT from 3 Vir
59. Pulled in many directions (with lots of squares) by the Cardinal Grand
Cross (see above), this is not a great time for clarity. Words that confuse,
though hopefully uplift.
Venus
opposes Uranus retro Aug 26 at 1:56 PM EDT/ 10:56 AM PDT from 11 Lib
54. Is it time for something innovative in diplomatic relations?
Sun
opposes Neptune retro Aug 26 at 9:42 PM EDT/ 6:42 PM PDT from 3 Vir
57. The possibility for some kind of unification exists even during this
time of the Grand Cross.
Venus
squares Jupiter Aug 27 at 5:53 PM EDT/ 2:53 PM PDT from 13 Lib 16. Venus
bids adieu to the Cardinal Grand Cross ending the Cross’ existence,
but not without another shot of extravagance, exaggeration and over-doing.

addition, Mars trines Chiron Aug 1, Venus opposes Chiron Aug 1-2, Venus
sextiles Mars Aug 2, Sun trines Uranus Aug 4, Mercury trines Uranus Aug
14, Jupiter trines Chiron Aug 20-21, Mercury sextiles Saturn Aug 26-27,
