WZBC 90.3 FM Boston Massachusetts on Saturday mornings with Victor Robert Venckus, Expanding Awareness, in and around 9:30 AM

 

We have a New Moon coming up on Wednesday. It is pretty exciting. Because it links a lot of those heavy hitters in the sky: Mars and Uranus and Pluto, the Sun and the Moon. It is quite the picture. So, I wonder what big events are going to happen. My heart goes out to the people in Hawaii. That is just insane losing an entire community like that.

We have for this week… we have Moon signs. Today we have the Moon in the sign of… Saturday the Moon is in Cancer today and tomorrow, Sunday. Right through until Monday morning at 6:35 AM. This Cancer Moon, by the way, is not one for making any long-term decisions. Or great big purchases. Or anything that would challenge your future. Because you have to deal with Pluto, which is constant interest rates and tolls, toll booths, and charges going along the way. People that are in control of your wallet. So, the banker gets it, pretty much gets it all. Gets all of your discretionary spending. There is none. So do not buy anything big.

There is a big thing going on today, well actually tomorrow. The Sun is conjunct Venus which is retrograde. So that is another clue that you might feel like spending money on. But you also might feel like gathering with people. It is pretty social.

There is an aspect that happened with the Sun and Jupiter early this morning. That one also leads to a lot of social kinds of gatherings. You can feel like you want to be with others. Join parties, barbecues, that sort of thing. So that is very good for that.

So, when we come into Monday and we have a Leo Moon. Leo Moon has to quincunx Pluto before leaving the sign. You see Pluto is calling the shots, just like we talked about a few weeks back. everything has to own up to Pluto. So, Pluto is the boss. It is a difficult boss. It is not one that you can necessarily negotiate with. You just sort of plead for the best and try to make the best deal for yourself along the way.

That Leo Moon will continue until the Virgo Moon comes in, which is the pick of the week. That will be on Wednesday at 7:13 PM until next Saturday.

So going back over the week. Coming back up to Saturday, August 12th. We have the Sun and Chiron trine. This allows you to open up. Share some of your issues and concerns with others. Open up your heart. Open up your sense of understanding, and your compassion. The Cancer Moon is about family members and about your commitment to family. As the Sun conjunct Venus there is probably a sense of belonging. Or wanting to belong to a group or a family. That would say, if you have an invitation, take it, go. People consider you part of their group. part of their inner circle. At 7:15 AM is when that conjunction takes place on Sunday morning. But it is going to influence today, 8/12, Saturday, as we lead into that. Also, a thought that comes to mind. You are opening up your wallet to pay for something and a big bill in your wallet flies out with the winds. So, you know you want to be careful and keep things close to your chest.

What we have for Sunday evening is probably a calming effect. But on Monday, the Moon comes into that opposition to Pluto. That happens early in the morning 3:46 AM, which is the Void of Course Moon period. Actually, technically, the Moon is never void of course in the sign of Cancer. Because it is its own sign. It rules that sign. Nonetheless, the opposition to Pluto is going to say, you are dealing with somebody who holds all the cards.

So then on Monday morning, the Moon enters Leo for a couple of days. It is trying not to be difficult. However, if you have something to show; something to share with others. As in, related to your talents. If you are looking for inspiration, you may want to look to Uranus. Uranus is about sudden abrupt change. But it is also about brilliance and unusual ideas. How you express yourself under this Leo Moon with the Sun square Uranus that is on Tuesday night at 10:34 PM, can be very unique. So, it can also be very disruptive for the Leo Moon for both Monday night through Tuesday. This is an aspect that holds onto your revolutionary ideas and uniqueness. The unusual qualities of what it is you want to do and how you want to show it and who you want to hook up with and who are your best supporters.

There is a New Moon coming in. So, we are in the Dark of the Moon until the New Moon occurs at 5:37 AM. It is still going to be the Dark of the Moon because we do not see the Moon in the sky during the New Moon. So, we have to wait until it is visible a little bit later, on August 17, near sunset.

This New Moon looks back to 2017 in February. There was a Lunar Eclipse that is being remembered with this New Moon that we have at 23° of Leo. So, if there is something that you did, or that you want to do. Look back to February 2017. See if there are any pieces and particles and fragments of something that you can include. To enhance the Leo show that you want to put on during this New Moon arrival that we will have on Wednesday morning.

The last thing that the Leo Moon will do is quincunx Pluto. So, there is the trick. We have Mars trine Uranus during that Leo Moon. That will be at 9:53 AM. Even a trine between Mars and Uranus may be disruptive. I always say good aspects are only good with good planets. Mars and Uranus do not necessarily behave themselves. So, connecting with a trine simply it makes it easier for them to do whatever they want to do. If they want to disrupt or upset, then the trine says okay, here is your opening, go for it. On a positive note, it brings a fairly exciting setting. You may have brilliance.  

Then Mercury and Chiron form an aspect also on Wednesday. This one is about probably gathering mental energy for psychological processing.

Mercury is also talking to Ceres, the caretaking pair, of those that are smaller than us or less well than us. So that allows us to help others. That Leo Moon is void of course at 4:16 PM until the Moon enters the next sign of Virgo. that is at 7:13 PM on August 16th. That is on Wednesday.

The Virgo Moon is opposite Saturn early Thursday morning and parallels the Sun. That is a good one. That is an aspect that can allow you to open your eyes in a bright way early Thursday morning.

Going into Thursday evening there is potentially a retrograde Venus in alignment with Pallas Athena that is likely to bring you to a conclusion about something that you are trying to process. Maybe legally. But it is a Virgo Moon. So, it is about our health. How are you? What are you doing today to improve your healthy? Are you including a new diet? Or maybe a dietician? Or an exercise program? A trainer? Something that would help you to stick to a plan. I know it can be hard to do that.

That Virgo Moon is going through the sign with a conjunction to Mars on Friday, at 8:57 PM. So that one is exciting. It is like putting the pedal to the metal. This is a get-up-and-go aspect. So, Virgo Moons are definitely about that. Get up and go do things. Run around, and clean up. Also, work with others. Engage with others as you try to make things presentable and give yourself an open space. If you have a house full of clutter, it is a great time to charge through that and get down to the bottom of it all.

The Virgo Moon is with us until next Saturday, until 7:53 AM. The last aspect that Virgo makes, calls the shots. It is a split parallel to Neptune, which is saying that Neptune throws you a rope if you are out there in the middle of the lake. But it also could be why you are in the middle of the lake.

Well, that is pretty much it for the week.
