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

 

It’s the 17th of August and Saturday. The Moon is in Capricorn. But that is going to change at 5:44 PM when the Moon enters Aquarius. So, the Capricorn Moon is tending business. Something is going on between the Sun and the Moon. It is a quincunx at 9:33 AM 8/17. That is an aspect that I call “life's messy, clean it up”. Something occurs, you have to drop everything else that you are doing and clean up a mess of some sort.

When the Moon is in Capricorn, the focus is business. It could be about family business. Or could be about decisions about managing your parents affairs? Or what is it that you want to do with the family business? It is also about government. The Capricorn Moon is with us. It will be void of course at 4:43 PM.

A void of course Moon means that this is the last major aspect that the Moon will draw to any planet before it moves into the next sign. So, it is free-floating. It has no agenda. The Capricorn Moon that was sextile to Neptune indicates, this was a good one. This was a Green Light, this Capricorn Moon. So, if you have something that you have been trying to finish up or do, this last little bit of the Capricorn Moon is going to be a good time for you to do that up until 4:43 PM Saturday.

Then the Moon will enter the sign of Aquarius. That Aquarius Moon will be with us right through Monday; when the Democratic National Convention begins.

There is also a Full Moon on Monday at 27° Aquarius. The Moon does not leave Aquarius until Monday evening at 6:52 PM.  But many things are going on during this Aquarius Moon sign. One of the things that is notable is that retrograde Mercury is going to square Uranus. That is the thinking planet. It is going to be upset by information and activities. This would be difficult while trying to navigate traffic of any sort and attempting to move forward. If you are trying to get out the door, remember, did you do this? Or did you do that? Mercury retrograde that is  square to Uranus may pull you back into all sorts of different directions. It is very ADHD, Attention Deficit Disorder, and cannot hold your focus. That is for Sunday morning. Of course, you can try to sleep through it. But there are things that will probably wake you up and get you out of bed sooner than you had imagined.

The Sun is doing a big deal with retrograde Mercury on Sunday.  I think this Mercury Retrograde has been far worse than the ones I've experienced; I want to say my whole life.

Mercury is tied in with the activities of Mars and Jupiter in the sign of Gemini. Now Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, which means it refers back to matters under anything that is in the sign of Gemini or Virgo as well. So, when Mars and Jupiter line up in a sign of Gemini we can expect a lot of particularly gossipy things, and less fact-checking going on. More time sorting out problems and less time advancing your goals. Increased anger is a lot of what that brought about, and very short patience. So Mars conjunct Jupiter and square retrograde Saturn was extremely difficult. It has actually finished up. The exact aspect between Mars and Saturn, finished up on Friday. But we still can feel it in a very strong way because one of the things that is going to happen is that Jupiter will enter its square to retrograde Saturn. That is on Monday evening. So, they are holding that space for what is going on there, how things are going on.

The Full Moon comes in at 27° (degrees) of Aquarius. This is at the midpoint of Neptune and Pluto. So, Neptune is the culprit for so much going on. There is so much COVID and other viruses spreading. Pluto is about power and control getting along with others is more of a push-pull experience than cooperation. So, it is a very difficult time. People are not happy with the way things are going. So, the Sun and Mercury alignment can bring you some greater insights about what it is that you are trying to figure out in your life.

As Monday comes in, the Aquarius Moon sets the stage for the people, by the people. It is a Moon sign that defines Democracy.

There is a happy note between Venus and Jupiter. But it is too much happy, over-the-top that tends to flop.

Then Venus opposes retrograde Saturn, on Monday morning. So, trying to control the spending, and talk about spending. Think about where you want to spend your money, and where you want to put it, so it makes the best use of your efforts. There are also topics about appropriate relationships.

The Sun is square Uranus. Also, that is on Monday. Sudden abrupt change. This could bring something spontaneous and some type of sudden, abrupt change to the events that are going on Monday. So, I would say there is a caution in there. especially when it is coupled with that Full Moon coming in at 2:26 PM when it is exact, and it is square to Uranus. So, it is a really difficult Full Moon. Many events could disrupt plans and take you off your track. Relationships with others can be a huge problem.  

 

There is Jupiter square retro Saturn Monday evening. This is one of the most important aspects of the cycle between Jupiter and Saturn. During this transition, you may have difficulty trying to manage your personal goals and your responsibilities. You find that tensions rise as you feel the need to break out of old restraints.  Although your tolerance level may be low, it could be advisable for you to cultivate the assistance of others rather than meeting them head-on by yourself.

So, there is a little more to that. The benefits of the transit are that you are forced to take action in restructuring areas of your life that may have become stagnant or tired. So, this could be very beneficial. This is the setting for major changes in personal lives, government, and the continent.

So, the Aquarius Moon is ending at 6:51 PM, then the Moon enters Pisces. It will be there until Wednesday evening.

The Pisces Moon on Tuesday is aligned with Saturn, mostly looking for serious things. There is very often some type of sad story that can be exposed when there is a Pisces Moon. It is kind of like something to cry about, but being used by others is a theme with a Pisces Moon.

So, you can also expect that when you are initiating anything, it may depend on intuitive insights and gut feelings. So, people may say, Where are you getting that? you can say, I can feel that and that is why I am moving forward.

On Wednesday the Pisces Moon is in aspect when opposing Venus then square Mars. People are just not getting along.

There is an aspect on Wednesday, the 21^st, between the Sun and Neptune. It is a quincunx. This one says there is a blind spot. something that comes out and causes some type of disruption. It could be weather, in a big way weather. It could also be secrets that the Moon is going to uncover when aligned with Neptune. So that quincunx is something difficult comes up. “Life's messy” in a big way. You have to stop what you are doing. get off the road, deal with a problem. Can not move forward with your plans.

The Aries Moon comes in after a quincunx between the Sun and the Moon at 5:55 PM. That Pisces Moon and Sun make a quincunx.

Then the Moon enters Aries. It will be in Aries for a couple of days. We are talking on 7:01 PM.

Then Thursday, we have that Aries Moon mostly looking at the Sun leaving the sign of Leo and entering the sign of Virgo. So, it wants to get down to business. align with its coworkers, and gather cooperation with all.  

The Sun, as soon as it does that, makes a quincunx again, to Pluto. That is 150° (degrees). That is what a quincunx measures out to be. So, there is a sort of a head-to-toe kind of interaction that is split by some distraction. Some major distraction from a powerful or intentionally powerful source.

Then Venus and Mars are square. So, this makes it very hard for people to get along in general. These are the softer sides and the aggressive sides are at odds with that aspect right into the late evening of Thursday night going into Friday.

We still have an Aries Moon. That Aries Moon is looking to align itself with Chiron. Chiron is the wounded healer. So, there might be something that you can discover or uncover, that can help matters in particular, to ferret out some of your physical problems. Maybe you want to make a plan with a new doctor or therapist that you have been referred to.

That Moon is late in the sign of Aries. It is void of course, from 7:12 PM on Friday until 8:00 PM on Friday.

Then the Moon enters Taurus. It will be there through next weekend. That might be a little bit of a happier spot for the Moon to be. It is it is considered exalted when it is in the sign of Taurus, the best place it could possibly be.

That is it for the week! This could allow your affairs to advance more smoothly and more profitably.
