The High-Charged Aquarius Full Moon and the Week Ahead
Discover how this Aquarius Full Moon can herald significant changes that ultimately propel you on the path to self-actualization. We’ll delve into the complex nature of Aquarius, from its dual rulership to its potential to innovate, rejuvenate and challenge traditional systems.
This full moon could provide you with the opportunity to make serious pivots, especially with the co-ruler of Aquarius, Uranus, being highly active during the pinnacle of this lunation cycle. I share my personal Uranian journey from New York to Los Angeles, a move that deepened my connection to the stars and sparked profound transformations.
As we navigate the turbulent energies during this astrological period, authenticity becomes crucial. The Aquarius full moon encourages embracing your true self, even if it means deviating from societal norms. We’ll also discuss the complexities added by the T-square involving Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus, as well as the South Node in Libra’s role in ending karmic connections.
Hey, there, it's Evan Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to the latest episode of Astrology Unbound. Today, I'm going to be setting you up for the electrifying Aquarius full moon and the subsequent transits that follow this week. Before I begin, though, be sure to check out my Substack newsletter for an in-depth breakdown of my predictions for the globe, my step-by-step manifestation guides for each full moon, intention-setting recommendations for new moons, educational content and more. Now, I do have a free subscription service through that, where you can still access the key themes and highlights tied to the major astrological events. However, if you want the deeper insights, you should also get the paid subscription service, where you can access the horoscopes, the sign-by-sign predictions, and you also can access a monthly call where you can ask me questions and we can react to the transits that are currently going on. And, by the way, I did just release an Aquarius full moon manifestation guide, so it's not too late to check that out, and it does provide tactical recommendations for that full moon. And today, of course, I will also be discussing some of the themes and preparing you for it, and so I mean, let's jump into it.
Speaker 1:First of all, let's just summarize a full moon, so anytime we have a full moon. The sun sits on the opposite side of the zodiac as the moon, so we have a sun-moon opposition and the moon is also on the other side of the earth from the sun. So this is why we see the sun set and to start to see that full moon. And you know that full moon is, of course, very powerful and you're seeing it throughout the night and it can really heighten our intuition, enhance our ability to recognize patterns and also it really can lead to awakenings and realizations. And you know transitions and the new moon was about two weeks earlier. So a full moon is approximately two weeks after a new moon and it does mark again the climax or culmination of that of this lunation cycle. But it also follows about six months or so after a new moon in the same zodiac sign. So, for example, this Aquarius full moon, this Aquarius full moon is on August 19th and it follows a Leo new moon which was on August 4th, but it also follows and marks the climax of the Aquarius new moon on February 9th of this year. So you want to keep track of, you know what were the circumstances in your life around February 9th of this year.
Speaker 1:Many of those themes are now coming to a conclusion, but also think about the intentions you were setting on August 4th of this month, and some of those intentions can become realized at this time Because the full? So because the moon really translates the ambition and the goals and the ideas of the sun into our sort of carnal reality. The moon helps us incarnate our desires, so that's why a full moon can be very powerful. It brings things to fruition, fruition. So some people will say a full moon, though, is purely an ending and a release point, and you know the emotions are swelling to the surface or brimming up, and you know it just gives us a sort of a safety valve to just like release. Other people, like myself, will argue that a full moon does not just have to be an ending, so it doesn't just have to be a conclusion of the things I mentioned on the timelines I mentioned. It can also just be an illumination of something and a realization of something, and that realization marks, in a way, a new beginning, and every ending is a beginning anyways, because in astrology we're dealing with cycles, because in astrology we're dealing with cycles, so you know. So there again, there's a flexible range of outcomes on any full moon. But let's start to actually jump into this particular one.
Speaker 1:So what are the defining characteristics of the Aquarius full moon? Well, so, number one anytime we deal with the sign of Aquariusarius, we are dealing with a complex mosaic of energies, because aquarius is actually ruled by two planets and aquarius is also the 11th sign of zodiac, and so it is dealing with a high degree of complexity. Uh, just by nature, um, by its nature and its order in the zodiac as being a transpersonal sign. So, by the time we get to the 11th sign, we're dealing with communities, collaboration, we're dealing with progress and goals for the future, and we are ideally working to improve the collective. Through these new and novel ideas, we're breaking apart the Capricornian system that precedes it.
Speaker 1:So, you know, capricorn, which is the first sign, ruled by Saturn, is really assembling a hierarchy, or, you know, bringing a bunch of resources together in order to create something with institutional memory. It is consolidating, you know, resources and utilizing people's skills differently in order to really create a coherent structure. And Capricorn really establishes that sort of structure, that institution or that corporation or that government, and it creates a system of traditions and it establishes a legacy. But then Aquarius is the 11th sign and the sign that follows Capricorn also, by the way, ruled by Saturn and Aquarius is taking that Capricornian system and making some upgrades to it and tweaking and optimizing it, and also future-proofing it or helping adapt it for the future and putting a unique spin on it. So if Capricorn is the traditional commercial bank, then Aquarius is the financial technology company that's challenging it but also maybe joining forces with it.
Speaker 1:So, for example, back when I was a writer and data journalist for Business Insider in the mid-2010s, I would go out across Manhattan and interview various banks or fintech companies and one of the things that fascinated me was how, you know, these legacy banks would have startup incubators or they would have these wings of the company where you know they would invite other startups in or, you know, have them sort of test different ideas and they would incorporate those ideas into their firm. So if a traditional bank wanted to explore new mobile banking platforms and concepts, they might collaborate with a hot new startup that was again using mobile technology in a unique way, and so that way, you know the company. The traditional bank could still use its sort of scale, but it could actually learn something from the agility of a startup. So, anyways, aquarius is a little bit more, you know again, future focused and it is representing our visions of the future and our, you know again, our ideas that are going to kind of help us, you know, really propel into that future and ideally, though, also, you know, harness ideas that improve collective outcomes.
Speaker 1:And Aquarius is also ruled by Uranus. Uranus is the modern ruling planet of Aquarius and Uranus is the great awakener. Uranus is the disruptor, the nonconformist, and it is also the higher octave of Mercury. So, whereas Mercury really pertains to the individual machinations of the mind, or the mach octave of Mercury, so whereas Mercury really pertains to the individual machinations of the mind, or the machinations of the individual mind, I should say Uranus is more of a collective mind. Think like the internet the internet is really almost like a hive mind or it is an amalgamation of individual thoughts and ideas, but it does have its own, I think, coherent thought structure.
Speaker 1:In a lot of ways, uranus also rules the process of individuation. So, again, going back to Capricorn, capricorn represents the actual process of assimilation into a social construct or a social order. So if you, for example, grew up in my home state of Minnesota, like maybe you're more likely to pick up hockey or something, because, you know, not only because of the weather, but just that that's part of the tradition in a lot of ways. But as you go through life, whatever pressures you respond to or don't respond to, eventually you know, you realize, oh, you know, I have my own unique individuality, so why not preserve that, or reactivate that, or stand inside of my own authenticity? And so Uranus helps us break through the Saturnian boundaries of, you know, social customs and norms.
Speaker 1:And that's hard for people, though, because, you know, we all face, we all have our reasons to, you know, glom onto a social order. You know, I mean, as human beings, like, obviously, we're social creatures. We don't want to feel like we're ostracized or outcast per se ostracized or outcast per se but Uranus gives us the tools to be freely, authentically ourselves. And when we do that, this is where we get into the transpersonal nature of Aquarius, when we stand inside of our individual selves. We know people who are uniquely themselves as well, who are championing their idiosyncrasies. And, you know, when you come together with these people, it's, you know, oftentimes what happens is, you can coalesce around a shared vision of the future, though. So even if you, you know, have a unique identity.
Speaker 1:Maybe you also want to, you know, push back against a certain system or challenge a certain, you know, prevailing notion of something, or you want to question power. So Uranus, the Uranian side of Aquarius, can be, again, very nonconformist and very disruptive to traditional systems. And it doesn't have to mean that you are walking the streets tomorrow or whenever you're listening to this podcast, around this Aquarius full moon. It doesn't mean that you literally have to stand up for a collective cause although you can cause, although you can but this type of full moon could also just represent you deciding to stand apart from others or to demand that your authentic self be respected in a relationship. Or you could ask your boss to be staffed on a project that is more reflective of who you are. Or you could yeah, you could tell a partner that you feel like your voice is not being heard. You could start a social media account that, just like, really documents your passion for something that makes you unique. So and by the way, just off of that point, you know, the Iranian side of Aquarius, I mean this does rule things like social media and the internet. So, you know, you could actually, you know, specifically step into your social media presence right now. Or, you know, going back to my banking example, you could explore the technological side of an industry or something else.
Speaker 1:But remember, this is a full moon, so it could even just be like the release of limitations, the release of self-doubt or self-consciousness, and the stepping into of authenticity. But, yeah, it could also be the realization that you want to live your life more authentically, or that you want to join a certain community, or, yeah, that you want to collaborate in a different way. So, yeah, I mean, and this Aquarius full moon really activates the Uranian side of Aquarius in a lot of ways, because Uranus is in a T-square with the Sun and Moon. Now, it's not that Saturn is not wielding its influence, by the way, I'll talk about that in a second but with Uranus in this T-square here, it is very dynamic, it is highly active on this full moon, and so you know, if you wanted to make a radical turn or a radical pivot, it's not a bad full moon for that.
Speaker 1:And again, like this can be at any scale of importance or significance. Like it could just be that you dye your hair, it could just be that you decide to dress differently or make different music or, you know, invest in a different type of creativity. But it could also be radical in the sense that you decide to move to a completely different state, or you decide to change the industry that you work in, or, you know, you decide to become more independent from your family. I mean, there's a lot of different ways you could manifest that. In some ways, it could be that you're reacting to something that's a little bit disruptive, because Uranus can be a disruption that happens to you, of course, for some people and I've gotten a lot of messages about this on my social media but some of you might find out some shocking information about your partner, about your family or about your job, and you are the one who has to react to it, and so it can kind of be like a mini earthquake in your life. But, like I described in my newsletter, maybe your life wasn't like necessarily like the balance that you wanted, maybe like the stability that you had in your life was not actually good for you, because sometimes a stable life is a stagnant life, especially if your life is arranged in a way that doesn't support your authenticity. So it's like, why not destabilize that? And obviously the chaos and the entropy in the moment is, you know, again very upsetting. If you actually step back and look at, like the macro view of your life, it's like, oh, I needed that change at that time. Like I think about in my own life how, four years ago I think almost exactly on this day actually that's really interesting.
Speaker 1:About four years ago I was home for a few weeks in Minneapolis, was home for a few weeks in Minneapolis, I had just moved my things out of New York in July and I was waiting for my ex-girlfriend to decide where to go for business school and she ended up getting into a school on the West Coast in LA. But like, very much at the last minute, and I remember I got a phone call from her saying, you know, I got in, I got into USC for business school and you know that's where I'm going and I had to make it. It was very, a very Iranian moment for me. I had to decide, you know cause, at that moment I was like very uncertain about like, do I stay in Minneapolis where I just, you know, I'm spending time with my family? Do I think about the East coast or London or who knows where? But when she got into USC, it's like I just, even though I'd never lived in LA before I'd only visited a handful of times I just decided, why not? So I came here as well, I joined her over here in LA and actually at the time Uranus was opposing my moon, so it literally was a Uranian moment for me and I had to. I just made that decision to.
Speaker 1:I mean, it really did upend a lot of aspects of my life, because I'd been living in New York, new York for seven years and even though I was already starting to, um, I was already kind of living in a limbo of sorts in Minneapolis for the summer. I didn't, I didn't know if maybe I was going to go back to New York or whatever. So in that moment, when I got that phone call, I just took a leap of faith and I willingly destabilized many parts of my life but by moving to LA. Eventually that led me to astrology, um, you know. So that is a moment where I mean again, a little bit, it's a little bit um, you know, it is very destabilizing and it can be very upsetting to think about. Oh, you know, I am walking away from a and professional connections that I'd made. I'm walking away from the comfort of I don't know if comfort's the word, I guess but like the, just like the invigorating feeling of like being in Manhattan and, like you know, being in a city that's like always on and like always has things going on. Like you know, the noise was about to quiet down and the activity was about to quiet down in my life and, anyways, I would argue that it ended up being the right move.
Speaker 1:So, whatever, again, whether it's something at that scale or it's a little bit of a smaller situation with Uranus, you do kind of have to rely on your intuition. I think you know, like the there, there could be a bit of a shock point in your life right now, or an inflection point or a catalyst where you have to react very suddenly to something. But you know, if a relationship were to dissolve for you, for example, like, obviously that's going to, you know, be radically, you know it distress, I mean, it's going to be distressing in a lot of ways, you know, and disconcerting, but at first. But it's like, okay, clearly that relationship only had its time and place and you're, you know you are probably being limited by it in some way, and so you're going to either, you know, become, you're going to thrive as someone who's single and you're going to feel limitless, or you're going to find another partner who is, you know, more resonant with. Well, they're just going to resonate with you more as you grow.
Speaker 1:So another feature of this full moon is that we do have a Saturn-Venus opposition. So Saturn is still playing a big role here and it is squaring off with, you know, mars and Jupiter as well. But the Saturn-Venus opposition very clearly is applying reality and, well, it's applying reality to anything Venusian here. So that could be a relationship or a creative partnership, professional partnership, or your creativity or your income or your job, or something like that. So the Saturn-Venus opposition, combined with the Uranus T-square, to me is saying that there's just a total mindset shift, a complete reimagining of your key relationships.
Speaker 1:And my biggest pet peeve, by the way, when I make those types of videos, is when people say, thank God I'm single and like I'm totally safe. You know this which, by the way and I know I've talked about this before but like I find that to be very bizarre, you know, like the fact that people want nothing to do with relationships, I think, is people want nothing to do with relationships, I think is a little troubling actually. Like I'm all for like a life of you know selfhood and like just being an individual, like there's nothing wrong with that. But I just think that, you know, insofar as we are human beings, like having a human experience, I do think that, like relationships generally are are positive and like they are vehicles for growth, even though it's just that, of course, in our modern day and age, a lot of relationships are, um not satisfying and I totally understand that. Like modern relationships are hard and there's a lot of different, um you know, impediments to a good relationship Like has the other person like done the self-work? Are they emotionally mature? Like I get that Oftentimes that's not the case, but anyways, I'm kind of like you know, ranting there for a second, but you know, like this could also apply to a friendship or professional partnership, and when I say professional partnership in this case you know it could be a creative partnership.
Speaker 1:So everyone is influenced by this aspect and like this could be a moment where maybe you thought a friendship was really starting to, you know just winnow away and it was languishing and you know it was just disappearing, like you weren't even, you weren't feeling connected to your friend at all, but then suddenly you see them at a social event or a party or you hear from them and then you realize like you're still good, you know, and you sort of completely reactivate the friendship and you feel like you can trust them with anything. Or maybe there's like a book agent or a musical collaborator or another social media creator you've been looking to partner up with for a video or something and you haven't heard from them for a while. And, with Mercury Retrograde squaring your run, suddenly you hear from them again and, like for some of you, maybe you're single but you're wishing you were still with a past relationship, past partner. It's totally possible that they would reappear at this time and that they would tell you that they're ready to commit again and that they've learned a lot. And so, speaking of emotional maturity, you know saturn is maturity. So maybe they are suddenly, um, you know they're ready to, you know, uh, be an adult and, like you know, really harness and or like, really build a stable connection with you.
Speaker 1:Um, now, it could have this storyline, by the way, you could just flip it. I mean, for some of you, um, you maybe thought that you were on a really stable trajectory with someone in any context and then all of a sudden it just deteriorates really fast. So this is kind of like a a breakup full, but only if, again, only if the relationship of any again, of any kind. Only if the relationship is not really serving or reflecting the real you, or they don't really, it doesn't feel like they know you at all. Or if you're like a writer and you have a book agent, like maybe you don't feel like they really understand what you're trying to get across the finish line.
Speaker 1:This could also be like a work-related relationship. You know, like maybe you don't feel like it's going well with a coworker, the project's not on the right track, and so you bring it up with your boss, and maybe some of you are trying to make a career change at this time, and you know so. Just know that, based on these aspects, anything that dissolves right now I just don't think was meant to last. But if your relationship gets through this time and it's even like better than ever, then I would feel pretty good about it. I'm not saying that it's, you know, completely like nothing. Nothing is sacred and untouchable, right, like I think that there are always going to be challenges in relationships.
Speaker 1:And actually, just to give you a quick timeline on when maybe a relationship would get tested again based on this time period, like, well, you know, I think next April we have Venus retrograde in Pisces, conjunct Saturn in Pisces, and that transiting Venus will be opposing where Venus is now, so there could be another test in April of 2025. So, you know, there could be like another test in April of 2025. And actually even, I think, march of 2025 when Venus, or late January 2025 when Venus first passes through Pisces. So, anyways, that's again another dominant aspect here, and we also do have a T-square with not only Saturn and Venus, but with Mars and Jupiter at the midpoint in the sign of Gemini here. So that to me, I mean, it's very complicated, but essentially there are contrasting motives and desires facing off with limitations in Venusian areas. So it basically takes what I just explained and adds another degree of complexity, because Mars and Jupiter together, and Gemini, are very waffly and wishy-washy and they don't really completely have a firm. There's not like a firm decisiveness about it actually.
Speaker 1:So, even though Saturn opposite Venus does feel like a solidification of, um, something Venusian, like a relationship, or can stabilize a relationship long-term, it is true that the Jupiter Mars conjunction in the middle, um, scrambles it a little bit or complicates it, and you know, it could just be that there's a bit of a overload of information that you have to sit with for a while before you make the big commitment to someone or some kind of creative project. Or with Mars and Jupiter, maybe there's like a trip that someone's taking, maybe your partner's traveling or you're traveling, or you're traveling to see them or something. But I think you know, just symbolically, the Gemini energy in the middle is creating, you know, again, an overstimulation, or there's just too much information flying in and streaming in. And that is, you know, it's really making you think about all the different, like, all the pros and cons. You're thinking about all, you're tallying up all the pros and cons of, like, being with this person or taking on this creative project, or making this business decision. And you know, some of you may be conflicted about what to spend money on with that T square, where to travel.
Speaker 1:Um, you may feel like you're almost like flipping the types of relationships you want, or, um, you're suddenly even like attracted to a different type of person, like, maybe you just suddenly have a different type after this full moon. And you know. I think that's actually important to dwell on for a second because, you know, an Aquarius full moon is really encouraging you to embrace your authenticity. So if you historically have actually wanted a certain type of relationship but for some reason you didn't feel like it was going to be socially accepted or something, or accepted by your family, you know this is the type of full moon to be like. You know what? Like this is the type of relationship I want, so I'm going to go for it. Like that definitely has it. Has this, that type of energy to it.
Speaker 1:And off that point, just another point about relationships. I mean, the South Node continues to transit through Libra. So you know, if you decide to part ways and withdraw from a relationship, then it might just set you up to meet someone who is more resonant with you around the October 2nd solar eclipse in Libra, solar eclipse in Libra. So, yeah, any relationship that's falling away right now, I think it was just karmically well, I mean karmically done, but it's because they have already taught you the lessons you're meant to learn, because Saturn is wisdom and Saturn is tough lessons. So, you know, maybe you just didn't have anything left to learn from that person. Have anything left to learn from that person.
Speaker 1:And we also have this full moon happening the day after Mercury-Kazemi. So, ideally, you know you've already developed a sharper mindset around something, something has been elucidated or clarified for you, and you know. So I think that any decisions you would make even though I, like I said, there's a T square with, uh, mars and Jupiter and Gemini I think it should be pretty clear what you want to do, you know, with a connection or a creative project by this time, just because, like, also, not only was it a Kazemi, or which is an alignment with Mercury and the sun, but you know it's also squaring Uranus. So it's like it should have been, like almost like a, just a flash of insight all of a sudden, like an aha moment, an epiphany, where it's like I realize now that you know I want nothing to do with this person or I really want to be with this person. So you know the only downside there is you may be acting a little bit on impulse, so you want to make sure that you're not rushing into that decision. But for the most part, I think it should be pretty clear because the Saturn Venus opposition will be pretty much exact at this time and it's been building really for the last week. Um, so yeah, all in all, I think it's a really.
Speaker 1:I mean, I think it is a very powerful, it's a very dynamic full moon, so it does support radical change, it does support a pivot, it does it almost feels like everyone's going through a Uranus opposition at this time, which is the astrological equivalent of a midlife crisis. So the Uranus opposition happens around you know, the age of 44 or so, and during the Uranus opposition, you know that's. You know, oftentimes that's just like a moment where someone wants to, you know, change everything about their life. And you know it could be like oftentimes it coincides with like a divorce or job change or moving across the country or just changing your look entirely. So you know, and again the Uranus opposition varies based on, you know, the orbit of Uranus and like when you were born, like where Uranus was when you were born. But again it really it is sort of symbolically that midlife crisis.
Speaker 1:But I think for everybody right now it's like there could be that feeling of like I want to change everything. You know I went through, I mean, we've all gone through so much in the last, you know, four years and you've probably had a lot of time to reflect on what you want and you're starting to realize, like you know, it's now or never. So it has that sort of urgency to it and that Uranian urgency of like well, it's like a certain type of urgency with Uranus. It's sort of again, it's a flash of insight and it's kind of a brilliant moment where you connect all of these dots all at the same time and, you know, based on that epiphany that comes through, it sort of begets sudden action and sudden change. And it's like you welcome that change and the shock sometimes.
Speaker 1:Sometimes it's the shock of an event that you have to react to, where suddenly it's again like a partner admits to something or, you know, suddenly you lose your job. Act on this moment because maybe you had a dream about it the night before. Like Uranus can be very profound in that way, like maybe you had a dream about Paris or something and then you get a job offer in Paris the next day. Like that's the sort of sometimes mystifying quality of Uranus. It could be very electrifying in that way.
Speaker 1:So embrace the disruption that comes with this full moon in many ways and also, you know, look at your relationships right now with the Saturn-Venus opposition and decide, like you know, do these relationships number one, reflect and foster and support the authentic me and also do they reflect my authentic values? And yeah, so I think it's really again about just accepting that maybe stability, the stability you've had up until now, is not really, it's not really good for you in the long run. So allow your life to be shaken up a little bit at this time, because, again, your future self, I think, will thank you for it. Like I'm grateful, I took that phone call and said, all right, I'll move to LA. You know, I'm grateful, like I said on my newsletter, like in a lot of ways I'm grateful that I got that concussion five years ago, you know, at the nightclub in New York, where it's like that kind of just ended my partying lifestyle and it forced me to question a lot of things and it also led me to this like crystal shop like a few days later. And now I just finished writing a book about this whole trend, that whole transition. So those Uranian moments are exactly what we need, because if we don't have that, without that inflection point, we would just continue to, you know, stay locked inside of certain patterns.
Speaker 1:So, in terms of global predictions. I mean, I've been giving predictions about August sort of over and over, so I'm not going to like really lean into this too much. I feel like I've kind of covered a lot of predictions already. But for this full moon, I mean mean there could be like tech related, um, you know, cyber security related incidents, uh, tech glitches. You might see some like news about ufo sightings, honestly, which we actually did see a few days ago, um, some news about that. And I think southern california um, obviously politics will play a role, because the Democratic National Convention is kicking off. I think that it sounds like there's going to be protests around the DNC, which is, it makes sense, like that's a Iranian thing. So I think the protests at the DNC will be very dominant in the news in the early part of the week and, anyways, let's jump into the week ahead though. So before I do that, you know, be sure to subscribe to my Substack newsletter and again, that newsletter is your best source for you know all the astrological insights that I have to provide, and it also does give a pretty comprehensive description of my global predictions. Like, all my predictions are there, including my presidential election prediction video, which is exclusive for paid subscribers, and that lays out, you know, my prediction for who the next president will be and all the steps to getting there, and so so far the prediction is playing out. So I would definitely check that out.
Speaker 1:So let's look into the week ahead, because you know some of you are listening to this podcast after August 19th. But, by the way, you know this podcast, the part about the Aquarius full moon, I think there's relevance there throughout the week. So, even if you're listening to this on like the 20th or the 21st, like, definitely still that section I think still resonates and is relevant. Um, but you know, if you're listening to this many days after the 19th and you're like, well, you know I already had my full moon experience, well, again, use that section to maybe as as an interpretive guide, you know, I still, I still think it can help, it can help you kind of process it. But again, in the spirit of, you know, just giving you some things to chew on throughout the week.
Speaker 1:Let's look at the days following the Aquarius full moon. So on Tuesday, the 20th, we do have the moon going into Pisces there, or very much in Pisces by that time, and you know we'll form an opposition with Saturn or, sorry, form a conjunction with Saturn and Neptune and opposite Venus, it'll square, you know, jupiter and Mars. So the 20th is a hard working day, but it can be a day that breeds a lot of exhaustion. So, on the 20th and part of the 21st actually as well, you really want to, you know, focus on. You know focus on some like kind of professional tasks and like work-related things, but don't overdo it because that would lead to like burnout or exhaustion. So definitely be mindful of that.
Speaker 1:And then, when we get into the 20 seconds, we actually begin Virgo season. So that's definitely going to set a different tone. So, leo season, hopefully there were some bright spots for you and some creative moments and some expressive moments and some expressive moments. But as we get into Virgo season, I think that's really going to put the spotlight on health. I think there's a lot of themes during Virgo season about, you know, right-sizing your health, optimizing your health, and, you know, with the because it, you know the sun's going to oppose saturn and neptune while they're retrograde in pisces, and I think that, uh, that will um show you how you know, like, how sleep patterns are really important and how those are contributing to your health and, uh, there's just really no shortcuts to good health.
Speaker 1:I think a lot of people are going to be realizing that during Virgo season, mercury will still be retrograde, of course, throughout the week, and really still squaring Uranus there and the square to Uranus is very fascinating, I mean. It definitely can lead to all kinds of breakthroughs. So use this entire week to innovate on an idea or to push an idea further, and also, throughout the week, expect surprising information to come through, expect a surprising phone call or message from somebody from your past, but also expect to pick up on an idea that you didn't fully maybe digest earlier in the year, and maybe something you overlooked suddenly turns into, you know, your next business idea or something. I mean, especially at the end of the week during what you know, uh, thursday, friday, when we have the aries moon if you're an entrepreneur, you know you could. Friday, when we have the Aries moon if you're an entrepreneur, you know you could. You could really do some productive brainstorming at this time. Or, if you're not an entrepreneur, but like you're just ideating on something, brainstorming your brainstorm sessions could be. It could be the birth of a business idea, or it could just be a really new, interesting idea that changes the game in whatever industry that you're in.
Speaker 1:And we continue to have the Mars-Jupiter conjunction, square Saturn, so there's a feeling in the air of like frustration, but also wanting to push back against the status quo. So, again, I think it's a great week for, um, well, it's a great week for just going your own way and innovating your way out of stagnation. Um, with Mercury retrograde, square Uranus. You also do, though, want to be very mindful of your data, your personal information. Like, really protect it, because I continue to think that you know cybersecurity incidents are more likely, uh, at this time. Um, also, you know Venus will continue to oppose Saturn, so you know people will expect to have continued discussions in your relationships about the long-term and, you know, the sustainability of that relationship. So, yeah, I mean, overall, I think the week ahead is, you know, it's pretty interesting. Actually, I mean, I think it can be.
Speaker 1:It can really generate a lot of value for you if you, you know, again, put yourself in a position to brainstorm, collaborate, think about things in an innovative way, think outside the box, don't limit yourself, tinker around with different technological ideas, even limit yourself. Tinker around with different technological ideas, even, and also, you know, with that Pisces moon in the middle of the week, there's something very, you know, dreamy and imaginative about it. So if you find yourself being exhausted, just like, take some time to rest and, you know, just let your mind wander, you know, because you could stumble into some really interesting sort of creative spaces. You could venture into some creative sort of space in your mind where it's allowing you to write a new song or write a new story or something like that. And then, as it goes into Aries at the end of the week, it has this sort of, again maverick quality to it where you could just generate a completely new business idea or come up with a new concept or methodology behind something. Or, you know, you could even come up with like a totally new blueprint for success. Like, if you're like a life coach or something in that category, yeah, I mean, there's some sort of like, there's some sort of framework you could come up with that really motivates people, where you're almost like synthesizing different concepts and it's like a totally new set of rules for life, or it's a yeah, it's a new blueprint for success. I mean you could come up with something like that you know, if you're traveling this week, continue to expect the unexpected there, um, whether it's like travel delays or, um, maybe you change your mind on, like, when you want to travel, um, so so, yeah, um, I think, yeah, I think. Overall, though, you know, it is definitely an innovative week which is really exciting and it could really break you out of any kind of stagnation.
Speaker 1:And again, the last thing I'll say there is, as we get into Virgo season, do expect the attention to shift towards health and wellness in all of its forms, and I think everybody will be taking a much closer look at mental health, physical health, spiritual health and how it all comes together. Closer look at mental health, physical health, spiritual health and how it all comes together. So, yeah, thank you for tuning into this week, this week's episode.
