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.

Hi. This is Dietrech with the astrology report for the week ahead, from August 10th through the 16th. We start out with a Libra Moon, which seems like it should be kind of friendly, but it is not. First the Moon was making a 150° (degree) aspect to Saturn, Friday night, last night. Then the Sun came in to do the same thing, making that 150° aspect to Saturn. The Moon and the Sun positioned on one side of the Zodiac and straddling this point. Both are pointing towards Saturn. So, it is sort of an aggravated assault, so to speak. It is not comfortable. It brings up a lot of difficulty, especially with those who are in charge. Could be authority figures. Could just be somebody at the top of the top of the list. The last word, so to speak. Mars and Pluto are in there, along with this Libra Moon that we have today, Saturday, August 10th. Mars and Pluto form what is called a parallel. They are lined up together, and they are holding strong. They are holding tight right through the aspect that they are going to see on the 14th, which is Wednesday. so starting Saturday all the way through Wednesday, there is sort of boots on the ground, is kind of the feeling of this Mars and Jupiter aspect. They really are a powerful pair together. They also can cause a lot of anger. they are in Gemini. Mars in Gemini can be a little bit too vocal, a little bit too short tempered. Jupiter is also in Gemini. Jupiter belongs in the sign of Sagittarius. That is on the other side of the Zodiac. So, to have Mars and Jupiter line up together in Gemini, it just. They are not making the same kind of sense. They are in opposite courts. They are not friendly. They are friendly to each other. They are making a plan that does not necessarily agree with the rest of the world.

The Libra Moon continues all the way through today, Saturday, August 10th.  The Moon sign changes at 6:33 PM when the Moon will enter Scorpio. But there is a void of course Moon from 5:36 PM until 6:33 PM when the Moon goes into Scorpio. That void-of-course Moon is in contact with Neptune, after a contact with Uranus. So, there is Uranus and Neptune. Expect sudden, abrupt change. Confusing things. About relationships, people are not getting along. It is very hard to manage personal relationships with this particular Moon in Libra that are in 150° quincunx angles. “Life's messy; clean it up.” That is how I describe a quincunx.

So, then the Scorpio Moon comes in. This is on today, August 10th. That begins at 6:33 PM, and that will continue. That is a long one. We are going to see the Scorpio Moon, even through Sunday and Monday, going into Tuesday, until 6:00 AM on Tuesday.

So, the things that we will see happen during the Scorpio Moon for Sunday. We are going to see, possibly the Moon, having something to say about money matters. Anything about holding, holding your belongings. Anything having to do with inheritance, other people's money, shared resources. Matters that require research and investigations. These are Scorpio things that are not necessarily easy to deal with.

Scorpio also indicates that your intentions may not be totally honorable. Things may not be on the up and up. You may be doing something you should not be doing when the Moon is in Scorpio. This is a time when tasks can be accomplished in secrecy. So, look around the corner. See what is going on or underneath the bed. If you are in trouble, you may need assistance to get out of a mess you got yourself in. When the Moon is in Scorpio in this kind of situation, someone important to the proceedings may be absent. So that person that you are looking to help you get out of a jam may not be available. Or the person you need to question or clarify something. You need to do more research. That is what Scorpio is famous for: research. And investigate. Look into things way more deeply.

So that Scorpio Moon goes through Sunday, and it is in there on Monday. There is a Quarter Moon. That happens at 11:18am, on Monday, August 12th. That Quarter Moon is at 20° of Scorpio. So, it is a First Quarter Moon where you are actively involved in the process of moving forward with things. You can also expect the Scorpio Moon to make an alignment with both Jupiter and Mars. So that speeds things up and gets things going in a way that moves the topics of your concern along. If it is about money, if it is about estates, if it is about family matters. Also, that Scorpio Moon goes through overnight into Tuesday, all the way till 6:00 AM. The Moon will oppose Uranus, one of the last things that it will do, which is about sudden, abrupt change. So, if you hear things that go bump in the night, you are going to have to jump up and take care of it.

The Moon is making an aspect to Neptune, which says these things are confusing and hidden. So, the Scorpio Moon is a tough one. It will last all the way into Tuesday morning.

Then we get some relief. We get the Sagittarius Moon sign, but then that Mars and Jupiter aspect come in. That is with the Wednesday energy. Mars and Jupiter in the sign of Gemini, I think they are troublemakers. I think that they are causing troubles, getting their forces geared up. It is like boots on the ground kind of thing. It may be very political. A lot of that mud-slinging that goes on in political competitions. So that would be typical for Mars and Jupiter that align in Gemini. That aspect goes through Wednesday. We will see where Mercury will change signs and go into the sign of Leo. That is at 8:15 PM.

Mercury is the talking planet and the thinking planet, in the sign of Leo. We can expect to be able to show our creative side. Maybe there is something that you own that you want to put out there. Presentation is extremely important with Mercury in Leo.

Also, the Sun and the Moon are making a beautiful 120° trine during the Sagittarius Moon sign on Thursday. So that is an element of harmony and compliance with surrounding situation on Thursday, August 15th. Going through a change of signs that comes in. The Sagittarius Moon sign sees an aspect between Mercury and Neptune. It is a quincunx. Life's messy, clean it up between the thinking planet and the confusing planet. So, this is like, be really careful with that one if you are traveling, if you are driving, if you are going outside. Maybe, if you are taking a flight somewhere, be very careful that you have all your papers in order and that you get on the right plane. It is a very funny, strange aspect with the Mercury is retrograde, backing up into the sign of Leo. So, this one is particularly showy when it makes its plan to escape the things that Neptune is trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes with that aspect.

The Moon goes into Capricorn. That is at 1:50 PM on the 15th. That is on Thursday the 15th. That Capricorn Moon is with us all day on Friday as well.

The aspect that comes in on Friday is Mars square Saturn. Mars square Saturn is very difficult. It is an aspect that is filled with restrictions and limits. Mars is trying to move forward and press forward. Saturn says, oh, no, you don’t. I've got the big stop sign. You are not going anywhere. So, this Mars square Saturn is difficult. It also causes muscles to contract. If you are doing exercise, you want to make sure that you stretch nice and slowly, first. That you do not wreck your muscles with Mars square Saturn. Also it is a break-your-leg kind of thing as well.

The Moon is in the sign of Capricorn with that, which is the ruler. Saturn rules that sign, which says that Saturn has some say over what the Moon is doing while it is in the sign of Capricorn. That is Friday, August 16th. There is a really lovely aspect between the Moon and Venus, and then also Mercury and Venus. Those two aspects make for a lovely afternoon on Friday and evening. So, this would be the time to engage with friends and lovers. Do something that is going to be lighter. Make a change for the week. Make a better change for the end of this week. And that is it for the week.

You can find a copy of this on my website at Lunar-Shadows.com. And you can also hear the recording there as well. Also, WZBC [90.3 FM Boston Massachusetts] will have it for two weeks. Look for the 9:30 hour to play that. And what else can I say? Call me up at 617-558-7233, and that is it for now. Okay, back to you, Victor.

Hi, this is Dietrich with the astrology report for the week ahead. It is quite the week ahead. We have all kinds of big deals going on.

We have a Leo Moon today. It was quite busy right through until Monday after 5:00 PM.

There is a New Moon on Sunday. Venus enters Virgo. Also, what we have…  that is going to be also on Sunday night. Mercury turns retrograde on Monday, early morning. So, there is a lot going on. A lot to think about. A lot to be very careful and thoughtful about how you proceed with all the things that you want to do. Even just packing your purse to go out shopping, you just want to be mindful of how you are doing things. Driving, watching out for the other person. Do not be so anxious to pull out ahead. Someone could be trying to speed up from behind. There just could be very accident prone all through this up and coming week, especially as this Mercury Retrograde comes upon us.

For the Leo Moon for today. It is not a bad Leo Moon. It is pretty complimentary in regard to how you would like to be able to use your creative energy for a project. Or [for] something that is going to brighten up your life.

Sunday, it is a happy day with a cheery New Moon in Leo. It looks like there is good food from Venus coming up in Virgo. Many old friends to bump into for interesting conversation on Sunday.

That New Moon it is really interesting. It takes place at 7:12 AM. It will be at 12° (degrees) of Leo. It will feature many exciting topics from all corners of our lives. You can also see that it is boosted here by Jupiter, who likes to expand things and pump things up. Bring things into a greater arena than what normally we would have. It is funded by Venus, making her last extravagant purchases before leaving the show, a sign of Leo. So maybe she wants to buy a new dress or do something very extravagant. Could even be thinking about plastic surgery or something that is going to beautify or completely redo your front lawn. Something expensive. But there could be a problem with Venus’ choices because Neptune is at the final degree of Pisces. Pisces gives her a pinch before she leaves the sign.

So, it is famous. Neptune is famous for some very sneaky problems. So, you might want to be careful about how you intend to mark your path. But for those who are trying to mark their trail, the New Moon has some benefits. The New Moon did have a push or will have a push from Mars before Jupiter grabs the megaphone. That is fine, as Mars can be a little too coarse. Jupiter expands the knowledge and kind of straightens it all out. If you wish to gain ground with something, this New Moon holds a good seed for your plans. So. it could be fun. Whatever you plan on doing on Sunday, enjoy.

Venus is in an aspect. Cannot see the problems that are coming up and mounting ahead. or simply just goes into denial. That may work. If you need a nap to try and clear your foggy head that may help.

Venus is at its last little minutes and degrees of Virgo, I mean of Leo, before entering the sign of Virgo. That is at 10:22 PM Venus enters Virgo until August 29th. That hooks up with what Mercury is up to because mercury is going to go retrograde on Monday morning, and go direct on the 28th of August.

So, with Venus being in the sign until the 29th of August, it seems like they are trying to catch up to do something together. They have a plan.

Mercury does turn retrograde at 12:55 AM on Monday. we are under that influence now. So, Mercury Retrograde, do not buy new things under that retrograde. Also, it is that kind of sign where information and messages get twisted and clumped up into other packages that may not necessarily be relevant. you can find that it can be loud and critical.

This particular Mercury Retrograde is hooked up with Mars and Uranus. So, they are very involved with this event. So, there definitely could be some surprises. You want to avoid traveling around a lot. Try to stay put out of your car. Even though this is at 12:55 AM it is going to have an influence over the whole day on Monday, and also Sunday evening. So be careful going home late Sunday night. You want to avoid major meetings and agreements. Also avoid purchases with that Mercury retrograde.

We have with the Moon, still in the sign of Leo until 5:16 PM on Monday. That Leo Moon is happy to be aligned with the Sun early in the morning, which can help plans to move forward in a practical way.

The Moon enters Virgo at 5:16 PM. That Virgo Moon is a terrific work Moon. So, this is where you want to get the most done. Apply most of your energies during this Virgo Moon. It will run from 5:16 PM on Monday through Tuesday. It will go until it enters the sign of Libra at 5:31 AM on the 8th, which is Thursday. So, we have it with us for quite a bit of time through the whole middle of the week. So, you want to use that Virgo energy to get a lot done.

Tuesday we come into the 6th of August. Happy Birthday to my dear friend Scott Stanley in Arizona. He is my publisher and has been a dear friend for many years.

The Virgo Moon on Tuesday becomes more busy later in the afternoon, when the Moon is square Mars. So be really mindful about pulling out of your driveway or turning onto a street. Cars are not necessarily looking out for you. The drivers are not looking out for you. There could be angry people in the checkout lane. So also avoid getting pulled into someone else's drama.

Then on the 7th Wednesday, Happy Birthday to my dear friend Dr. Richard Close. A lot of birthdays in the beginning of August, as there always are. Even Vicky Lin's birthday comes up on Thursday.

For Wednesday, the 7th we have that Virgo Moon, which is busy. It is a little bit slowed down by Saturn early in the morning, but picks up some of its intention and direction later on in the day. It does not seem to get a whole lot of opposition from working hard and planning ahead with its efforts.

That Virgo Moon sees Venus and Mercury aligned together. They are conjunct at 11:12 PM. This is one of my favorite planet combinations in Virgo. They can plan to make work lighter with more hands. There are often introductions to new people when this pair combined. So, I like this very much. It makes for a pleasant environment. It makes for a lot of laughter and happiness. So that is great for August 7th.

Then on Thursday, the 8th we have the Moon slipping out of Virgo into Libra at 5:31 AM. Happy birthday, Vicki. This supports the Libra people in our lives. In the news, Vice President Kamala Harris is a Libra. So, this is a good sign or a good day on Thursday for advancing your goals. After we have had a New Moon, and the Moon gets a little bit of light in the sky, you can see the Moon in the sky. Then it is a time that you can make plans to move forward with your goals.

But one of the last things that the Virgo Moon is going to do is oppose Neptune. Neptune is a problem maker these days. So, if you are particularly mindful of your belongings, you should be okay. But if you are not, you could lose something either big or small. So be careful about wandering around without paying attention to what you have or what you should have.

You can also find that sometimes people have a little too much to drink at lunch. That can often bring a problem for the rest of the workday.

The Moon enters Libra at 5:31 AM. That is on Thursday, the 8th. It is there until Saturday evening. The Libra Moon on Thursday, is particularly interested in making plans with Pluto. Trying to appease any of Pluto's demands and interests. Also aligning with Neptune making some type of concession. There are things that are hidden with that Libra Moon and its connection to Neptune.

The Moon is lined up with the Lunar Nodes. That is later at night on Thursday and into Friday morning. So, the Lunar Nodes are about the coming and going of people in our lives. This has to do also where the Eclipse take place. The Lunar Node is very close to where that Eclipse will occur, the one that is coming up on October 3rd. So, this is kind of a big deal on Friday, Thursday night and Friday. With having that Moon line up with the Lunar Node. It might bring some important information out in the open.

On the night that is on Friday that Libra Moon is with us to trine Mars. Gives us a lot to think about in the morning, in the start of the morning. Very motivated in the morning. Gains approval from Saturn and Jupiter in the afternoon. There is an opportunity to address the rules of the game when both the Sun and the Moon move into a very precarious position with Saturn on Friday. So that is when you get that scrutinizing look from someone in a position of scrutinizing. You have to deal with answering to others for your actions. So be careful. Play by the rules. And that is it for the week.

You can find a copy of this on my website, Lunar-Shadows.com. I want to thank Julie Stoller for standing by and helping whenever we need help. And also, for Victor. We will be happy to see Victor tomorrow. And also, I want to ask anyone who wants to have a reading, a consultation give me a call at 617-558-7233. And you can ask me about classes as well. So again, the number is 617-558-7233.  That is, it for now. Thanks a lot. Bye.
