Hi, this is Dietrech Pessin with the astrology report for the week ahead. It is the 16th of August. We have a big deal going on with all the heavy planets: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, all at 0° (degrees) of their signs. Saturn and Neptune are in the sign of Aries. There is a lot of triggers for these planets this week.

Today, there is a Quarter Moon that started off at 1:11 AM. It was a Last Quarter Moon in the sign of Taurus. Now this Last Quarter Moon is related to a group of other Moon phases in the past, over a two and a quarter year period. So, this is the last installment of something that may have begun in your life. or that you can remember around May 19, 2023, that developed into a new phase where you are going to actively be involved of moving forward with a goal. Perhaps, February 16, 2024. Then all the cards are on the table and everything is out in the open, November 15, 2024, with the Full Moon. And here we are, August 16, 2025, Last Quarter Moon at 23° of Taurus. So, it is a big deal. This is a series of Moon phases that can help to remember what those... they will probably be connected in some way, shape and form. Often, people will call me and say, Yes, this happened and that happened related to that. So, look back and see. Again, May 19, 2023. It does not have to be on the date. Around the date. Such would be the same with February 16, 2024, November 15, 2024, then August 16, 2025. all are related.

So that Last Quarter Moon… 1:12 AM is when that happened, early this morning. That was leading into the last things that the Taurus Moon will do. That is up until noontime. Right at noontime, the Moon goes into sign of Gemini, and it will be there until 3:05 PM on Monday.

I would choose Saturday or Sunday this weekend for important letters or other important writings. get together with friends, neighbors. Gemini is very social sign, and especially friendship around midday is very important.

The Moon is going to set off those heavy planets, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and then Pluto, but in a positive light. So that it should add up to a bit of a fun weekend.

Sunday, the Moon is still in Gemini. There is not a lot of planet-to-planet going on. The Moon makes aspects throughout the day.

There is really an interesting aspect, Monday morning, 1:32 AM. Mercury is in a 60° aspect with Mars. Now we just had that last week on Thursday, so it is a repeat. Now I have looked over the past 10 years or so to see, when has that happened again so close to one another, where it repeats like that. I would say it is because Mercury had been retrograde. Was moving slowly, and then it caught up. So, it first made a contact when it was in slow motion. Then caught up when it was moving faster, which is what happens on Monday, 11:32 AM. But it should be a newsmaker in some way, shape or form.

That Gemini Moon is void of course, after a lovely sextile to the Sun. That is a 60° aspect, leads to an opportunity of some sort. It is early in the morning, almost 8:00 AM. 7:52 AM that begins a void of course Moon period until 3:05 PM.

Then the Moon goes into the sign of Cancer. When it is in Cancer, the Moon is going to trigger that configuration of Saturn, Neptune and Aries, and then also make contact with Uranus and then Pluto. So, a lot of heavy stuff goes on. It is in the afternoon with that Cancer Moon sign, Moon square Saturn. That could be feeling that you are in a low mode/mood. That you may feel trapped in some way in your situation. It is a family situation, or real estate, something like that.

But there is a Green Light period. The Moon will square Mars on Tuesday, early morning, 4:29 AM. Then there is a better tone for the Cancer Moon thereafter. 5:00 AM on Tuesday, all through the day. Nicer aspects. Especially Moon conjunct Jupiter 6:02 PM on Tuesday. This would be the day that I would choose for any kind of family matters that you want to sort out, or real estate matters, things like that. You could choose Tuesday and into Wednesday morning.

The last thing that Cancer Moon will do is make a really beautiful conjunction to Venus. 8:26, almost 8:27am, on Wednesday morning. That is a lovely aspect. So, it brings harmony and peace, and Family Matters. It calms things down. People bond over united subjects.

We have a Moon sign change. That is the last thing the Moon does in Cancer, the Moon will change signs, go into Leo at 7:16 PM. That is on Wednesday. So, it sets off the extreme configuration that we have with Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. It is at night. So, starting at 8:35 PM, then 9:40, then 10:08 then 10:47. It is like, boom, boom, boom, the Moon will trigger those aspects. It happens to be positive aspects for the earlier ones, up until the Moon is opposing Pluto at night. So, something comes to a halt and has to be reviewed the next day.

Thursday, the Moon is in Leo. There is an aspect. the Moon is making an aspect to Mars, bringing an opportunity. Thursday, late morning, 11:43 AM, this may be when you are trying to get some work done. These are great aspects for getting things done very quickly.

Moon is conjunct Mercury. That would be at 2:13pm. Connect with people that are important to you or important to your projects. Leo is a creative sign. It is about your projects. It is also about leadership in particular. So, we will wait and see. It is not a Green Light period. So do not choose this day, Thursday or even Friday to forward your goals. You want to wait until Saturday. There is a better… Sunday really. We have a New Moon coming in. You do not want to start anything when there is no light of the Moon in the sky. When there is a New Moon, you cannot see it, because it is hanging out with the Sun. The Sun is shining somewhere else.

So, we have for Friday. The newsmaker on Friday would be that the Sun leaves the sign of Leo goes into Virgo at 4:34 PM. The Sun wakes the bear. So, I think this is going to be very interesting. Friday. What happens on Friday? Could even be Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. Because it will set off all those heavy planets, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto, each at 0° of their own signs.

I am sorry about the noise. Hope that helped. Okay, here we go.

That is, it for the week. Keep your ear to the ground about what is going to go on at the end of the week. How you can make your environment safe, and also your relationships safe and steady. That is, it for the week. You can find a copy of this on my website at Lunar-Shadows.com. Thank you Kimberly Chin for transcribing. I did miss a call out for her birthday that was recent. She is a lovely Leo. We have my phone number at 617-558-7233. Follow the report on Lunar-Shadows.com where you can read a copy of this or listen to it again there. Okay, that is it for the week. I am Dietrech Pessin, 617-558-7233. Bye for now.

Hi. It is August 9th.^. this is the astrology report for the week ahead through next week, until the 15th of August. We have very high energies right now. High energies and tempers are flying. Tempers are short. There is a Full Moon in Aquarius. It comes with a cache of Mars energy. So, while Mars seems to be stuck like a broken record, because it is opposite Saturn and Neptune, it attempts to force issues to the foreground with justice as it is goal. But you have to be careful about what the intentions are with Mars, because there is there is always something more to be considered.

There is a lack of clarity going on and unknown factors because of Sun and Neptune in aspect to one another. This is an aspect of 135° (degrees). It can also bring the practical use of art and music, impressionability. a lot of escape urges. With this. Misunderstandings. There are visions which deceive. So do not believe everything you dream up. Mistakes and errors and judgment are common with this aspect between the Sun and Neptune. Foggy or sloppy conditions can also be apparent with this aspect. So, you want to be careful when you are trying to move forward with your goals. Try to clear up your thoughts before moving forward.

So, the Full Moon that we have early this morning it was at 3:55 AM. It was a Full Moon at 16,17° of Aquarius. In 2017 we had a Full Moon also back there, near the same degree. That is when the Trump administration was threatening the DACA young people, 780,000 immigrants. Trump was moving forward to end [the] program that protected young immigrants from deportation. So, here he is again, with his focus on immigrants.

There [are] several planets besides the Sun and the Moon that are 180° apart. That is what makes a Full Moon. The Sun and the Moon are exactly opposite. Also opposite would be Mars opposite Neptune, Mars opposite Saturn. Both of those planets are in Aries. Well, Aries is the home sign for Mars. So that makes Mars kind of angry. He is trying to throw his weight around and throw his spear around from Libra, the sign of balance and fairness. So, it would appear that both of these principles are far from the nature of Mars. Mars, while in Libra, may have strong desires for justice and balance. It does so by acting out instead of using diplomacy.

So, what we have also during this August 9th, another aspect of the Sun. It is parallel Mercury. It brings strong mental focus and attention to detail. You may align with others of equal mental capacity to work through complex issues. Children can be a part of the equation as well. So, taking the kids along is a really good idea.

There is a void of course Moon. That will begin at 4:11 PM today on Saturday the 9th. And continue right through until 2:50 AM tomorrow morning, Sunday. Then the Moon will enter the sign of Pisces.

Before that happens, there is an aspect between Mars and Neptune. They are opposite. Very strong, indecisive energy. That seems to be an opposite in nature. But not just not being able to nail things down in any way, especially with Mars in Libra. Very indecisive complex situations that require both force and sensitivity are evident. Competitive actions that are secret or hidden could be leaked. So, keep your ear to the ground about things that might be secrets that could be very interesting.

Conflicts of beliefs and ideologies might be noted during this aspect that comes up. Lots of disappointments. It is like, No, I did not think that was going to happen. Or I did not see where this lived up to it is potential or promise. There was a broken promise. There is the urge to escape. Also, a lot of physical weaknesses and a lack of energy can be found with this Mars opposite Neptune. That is all during a void of course Moon. So, is it likely to take hold? We will have to watch it and see.

The Moon enters Pisces at 2:50 AM on Sunday. It goes through the sign of Pisces until Tuesday at 6:30 AM.

Then the Moon will change signs and go into Aries. But during that Pisces Moon sign, we welcome Mercury direct. Mercury has been retrograde for a few weeks. Now it turns direct at 3:30 AM on Monday morning during the Pisces Moon. All that conflict that we had been seeing or watching with Mars and Neptune.  It may iron out when Mars and Neptune come up with another aspect during the Pisces Moon sign. So, it would seem, from the Saturday connection that Mars and Neptune had, that there was trouble. This one may iron it out. There could be a meeting of the minds. A possible long-term compromise.

[There] is also an urge to change things. When Mars and Pluto make a trine, they like to eliminate and purify. Efforts to unite, transform, to share power and territory.

There is an intense cleaning and a purification. That is the motivation of Mars. Mars is all about motivation and the sexual interests that are strong and being convinced to something. Maybe that you should scrutinize. What are the things that are coming to you where someone else is trying to convince you of.

Then on Monday, after Mercury goes direct at 3:29 AM, we have that Pisces Moon. That is a Green Light right through the rest of the sign of Pisces going until August 12th, Tuesday, at 6:30 in the morning. So, we have a nice Green Light in there.

There is a really good aspect between Venus and Jupiter that comes up on Tuesday. But also, there is one late night Monday. Saturn and Uranus, they find an opportunity for balance. There is a healthy sense of responsibility with the ability to embrace new and exciting concepts. So, this is bright ideas. Areas of your life, which may become a little stale, are now enlivened with Uranus and Saturn in this 60° aspect. Lots of things that have been in your past, that may have felt like or have been obstacles [are] moving into a new direction. But Saturn is retrograde. Things will have to come back up around again. But you may have an understanding and breakthroughs that you did not have before.

That Venus and Jupiter aspect is at 1:30 in the morning. So that is overnight there, going into Tuesday morning. This very comfortable social situations. Maybe you are going to sleep nice and easy. Maybe, if you are on the west coast you are partying, having a good time. There could be generosity and friendliness with this aspect. Big productions or gatherings and beautiful appearances.

That Pisces Moon comes up to the Aries door. That is at 6:30 AM on Tuesday. It runs through the sign of Aries, right through Wednesday into Thursday, until 9:21 AM Thursday. Then the Moon will enter Taurus.

But for the Aries Moon sign there is not a lot of planet aspects going on. There are some difficulties right around lunchtime on Tuesday. The Moon is opposite Mars, so this could be cranky. Could also upset your stomach a bit. But if you are having a big lunch, you want to be careful about overloading.

Then we have the Moon in contact with Mercury, and then the Sun. So, there is lots of good spots. Nice, healthy, good spots with the planets on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, still, we have an Aries Moon sign. There is an intense social excitement at almost 10:00 at night between Venus and Uranus. So, lots of feelings are surfaced. This is on Wednesday night. Unconventional behavior. So, it could be artistic as well. If you are an artist or would like to do something artistic, this is an excellent aspect for dreaming up new artistic expression. That Aries Moon sign is void of course at 7:16 AM until 9:21 AM on Thursday.

Then the Moon enters the Sun at Taurus for a couple of days. The Taurus Moon has Mercury and Mars in aspect on the 14th. So, this is very decisive. Lots of mental assertiveness, honesty, practical solutions, technical skills, fast work, rapid progress. This is a really good aspect to get things going. That is on August 14th.

Friday on the 15th we have Venus and Vesta. Vesta is about investment and commitment. But this combination looks like it is all about money. So, the Moon is in the money sign of Taurus. So maybe there is money to be found. Look around 4:16 PM, when the Moon is making a sextile to Venus. So maybe Venus is going to show you a positive in your bank account. So that would be a good thing.

Mars and Saturn have an aspect. They are parallel. That is a cooperation going on between Mars, the action planet; and Saturn, the structure and limit planet. This allows Mars and Libra to reclaim the pride of it is own territory. So, this would be good to calm things down. If the fur is up on the back, it could calm things right down and be a little bit more agreeable.

There could be governing forces that assist in managing any of the properties that Saturn and Neptune are occupying while they are in Aries. Aries being the sign that Mars rules. So, Mars wants everything taken care of, neat and nice.

That Taurus Moon is with us through the end of Friday, making for a nice gathering energy through Friday evening and overnight and into next Saturday, when that Taurus Moon will be in a Quarter Moon. That would be a Last Quarter Moon overnight at 1:12 AM. That would be at 23° of Taurus. So, lots of money energy, with all that Taurus thing going on. Well, that is it for the week.

You can find a copy of this on my website at Lunar-Shadows.com. You can call me at 617-558-7233.. You can ask me about the planets this week, or make an appointment for a session, an astrology session. Also, you can find a copy of this again on my website. Thank you, Kimberly Chin for transcribing, and that is it for the week. Okay, Victor, back to you.

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

This is Dietrech Pessin with the astrology report for the week ahead. We have the
Moon going through four signs this week, Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio.
Today, the Moon had a happy connection to Venus early this morning, giving a
Green Light period that actually started last night at 11:11 PM. It ran right through
until 7:01 this morning. Then there was a little minor aspect to Jupiter, but not
until 4:55 PM today does the Moon sign change. So, we will have the Leo Moon
all day today. That is a good sign for feeling like you can get involved in your
creative projects. Feeling enthusiastic about something. Also, you tend to be the
one that is not held responsible for any actions that are not so up and up. You feel
your actions are justified under certain circumstances. So, this is a good time to
please those that are in authority, when the Moon is in Leo. It was definitely a
good Leo Moon. That is indicated by the last thing that the Moon does before it
leaves the sign. In this case, it was making a beautiful 60° (degree) aspect to
Venus.
Then later today, 4:55 PM, the Moon goes into Virgo. Virgo Moon is about the
operation of anything and activities that becomes second nature. So, if you want
to lend a hand to others, or have someone come and give you a hand. It seems
that things are repetitious and mindless. You can do things easily.
It also rules the ability to discriminate, subtle differences. Virgo is very
discriminating in general. these differences can be over emphasized.
Discrimination is the name of the game on the basis of sex, race, religion. It can
influence your project success as well.

Lots of sexual attractions take place during a Virgo Moon, which is interesting. So,
it can be very intriguing. a lot of forbidden fruit with a Virgo Moon.
That Virgo Moon is with us all day today, from 4:55 PM through Sunday into
Monday. still a Virgo Moon all day Monday. It will make a sign change on
Tuesday, early in the morning at 1:42 AM.
One of the things that the Virgo Moon does is something that is highlighted pretty
extraordinary on Monday. It will join up with Mars at a particular degree, at 24° of
Virgo. This is the Lunar Eclipse point from last March, 14, 2025. So, the things that
were important and going on and headliners back then come out to be worked on
or pressed on. It is a very pointed, action-oriented aspect going on between the
Moon and Mars.
So, it is not just a singular event. but there are several things that are related to
this, because it is tagging an Eclipse degree. Eclipses are everything. We get two
Solar Eclipses at least every year, and two Lunar Eclipses every year. So, one of
those Lunar Eclipses back in March is being emphasized now, this week with this
Moon conjunct Mars. That is going to be on Monday.
So, the Virgo Moon ends with a parallel to Neptune. So that aspect is one that is
joining together. Aligning itself with the planet that is particularly about
boundaries and illusions. It has a spiritual nature to it. If you can pray your way
out of trouble, your prayers will be answered. So that Virgo Moon is in good
stead, with Neptune being the last aspect it makes at 11:47 PM. That is on
Monday.
Then the Moon will enter the sign of Libra Tuesday morning, 1:42 AM. The Libra
Moon will be with us through Wednesday into Thursday, until 1:24 PM on
Thursday. Then the Moon sign will change to Scorpio.
But the Libra Moon's activities are opposing that Saturn and Neptune
conjunction. Now that has been a problem in a lot of ways. The difficulties that
we have been having have been under the canopy of the Saturn and Neptune
conjunction. They are in Aries. Neptune and Aries. It is like, I do not get that.
Neptune belongs in Pisces. It is a water planet. It goes into this sign where it
wants to start-up businesses and create action and activity. That is really against
Neptune's nature. Saturn is right there holding his hand. It is being a very

cooperative, so to speak; player with Neptune. So, if there is something that
Neptune is trying to hide, Saturn is not holding his arm behind his back. There can
be a hand holding thing going on.
So, for the other things that stand out. On Tuesday the 29th the Sun and Moon
are making a lovely aspect at 3:16 PM. This could be a time when you want to
take advantage of this aspect. Maybe just before around 2:45 until quarter past
three. This aspect lends to an opportunity that might be presented to you; where
the Sun is in Leo and the Moon is in Libra. Very nice combination of Leo and Libra.
Libra is the partnership sign. Leo is the project and creativity sign.
So, we have the Moon making contact with retrograde Mercury. Did I mention
that Mercury is retrograde? It will remain retrograde until the I think it is the 10th.
Is it the 10th of August? So, it is a lot. It is a long one. Definitely. It is 25 days long.
It is actually the 11th day of August. So, it started on the 18th of this month. It is a
long retrograde, making it difficult to nail things down in a way that feels firm. Or,
as if they will not come back up around again for review or read or approval or
being dropped or restated in any way.
So, we have, on Wednesday, Mercury connecting with Mars. So that is kind of a
loud connection that it makes. But it is early in the morning, so it could cause
some problems late night trying to go to bed. Maybe a conversation comes up
that is not particularly pleasant, and you might not be able to sort through it until
the next day.
The Libra Moon comes through the day right through Wednesday into Thursday.
The Venus is making a sign change. Venus will go into the sign of Cancer, leaving
Gemini behind. It is happy to do that. Venus is much happier in Cancer. That is
where it puts its emphasis on family relations. You can form strong bonds with
those in your own tribe. You can have an emotional need for financial security
and find a way to get that met as well. So, Venus in Cancer is very positive. Much
better than Venus was in Gemini.
The Libra Moon goes into a void a course period at 6:06 AM Thursday, until 1:24
PM on Thursday. That is when there will be a Moon sign change. The Moon goes
into Scorpio for a couple of days. That Scorpio Moon. The biggest thing that is
going on with that one on Thursday is the Sun aligns itself with retrograde
Mercury. So, this is a time when you want to give something a great

consideration. Spend more time thinking about something, hashing it over about
what you are going to do? How you are going to do it? And then what
announcement you might make about it? There is a lot of mental strength
associated with Sun conjunct Mercury; intense thought, consciousness of
personal intent. Also, it stimulates communication in speech or writing. So, if you
are trying to get back to writing something, this is a good aspect, especially with it
being Mercury Retrograde. Go back into something that you had been working on
that you want to continue or complete.
The effectiveness in coordinating one's various activities is also favored with Sun
conjunct Mercury. This aspect is at 7:41 PM July, 31st. But it really is the influence
that we will feel and see all through the day on the 31st, even in the earlier part
of the day. There could there could be talk about travel, and you might feel that
you are able to meet up to the situations that are being presented. Any kind of
problems that come up, You may feel you can do that. You can take care of that.
And that is on Thursday.
For Friday, the Scorpio Moon goes through and is making squares to Mercury to
the Sun. also, Venus is making a square to Saturn. So that is a difficult aspect. All
the squares are about challenges. Things that are not harmonious. things that
have to be hashed out, talked through.
There is also Venus. This is the money planet, the love planet. It is in the sign of
Cancer. It wants to make money for its family, and it is square Neptune. So,
Neptune is helping to vanish the purse. You could lose your purse with that kind
of aspect, 4:48 PM, August, 1st. That is on Friday. So, you want to take extra care
with your wallet, your credit cards, your actual physical purse. Also shopping
online, You may be buying things for more than you can afford as well. And that is
pretty much it for the week. The Scorpio Moon is with us, also next Saturday. So
here we go for the end of the week here. We are going to have Victor again.
Going to ask Victor to then take it away and give us the show that he has planned
for us. Okay, thank you. Talk to you next week.
