$\"Venus$ <\/a>Oh my, I had a moment of fright this morning when Word Press informed me that my work over the past two days on the August report had disappeared! \u00a0Fortunately my trusty Chrome browser had saved all of the text and I was able to retrieve it. \u00a0So I am more pleased than ever to present to you: \u00a0 Your August Planetary Illuminations report<\/a>!!<\/p>\n

If you are on my mailing list you will soon be receiving your summary translated into simple English in your email box. \u00a0If you\u2019re not yet on my mailing list, please sign up in the sidebar! \u00a0Here is the introduction to get you started.<\/p>\n

MAJOR EVENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venus retrograde. \u00a0<\/strong>Venus turned retrograde on July 25th and will remain in retrograde motion until September 6th, so it will be traveling retrograde throughout the month of August. \u00a0Venus presides over relationships and friendships of all kinds, and only retrogrades every couple of years unlike the outer planets which are retrograde about half the year, and Mercury which retrogrades four times a year. \u00a0Retrograde periods are important because they encourage\u00a0us to go back and reinvestigate matters of the past which have not been adequately resolved,\u00a0\u00a0or which have the potential to offer us greater understanding about our current condition.<\/p>\n

During Venus retrograde periods you will likely find yourself revisiting and re-evaluating both love relationships and friendships, reconnecting with old friends and perhaps letting some relationships go. \u00a0Despite what you will hear in the popular press, Venus retrograde does not cause your relationships to fail and you are not doomed to a barren love life if you were born with Venus retrograde. \u00a0Like darkness and light, retrogradation is a normal part of the ebb and flow of human existence.<\/p>\n

Saturn square Jupiter.\u00a0<\/strong>Saturn\u00a0is stationary now as it prepares to turn direct after a period in retrograde motion that began in March. \u00a0This begins the challenging square between Jupiter and Saturn \u00a0that will be in effect between now and June of 2016. \u00a0I will be writing more about this cycle but you can expect to see a contraction in the global economy as Saturn creates additional restrictions while Jupiter attempts to continue expansion. \u00a0There is a \u201cdouble whammy\u201d in effect right now since Saturn is in Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, and squaring Jupiter \u2013 a double down of Saturn\u2019s contraction pitted against Jupiter\u2019s natural urge to expand.<\/p>\n

Jupiter in Virgo. \u00a0<\/strong>Jupiter moves into Virgo on August 11 and will remain in Virgo for a year, until September of 2016. \u00a0I will be writing much more about Jupiter\u2019s passage through Virgo, but you can expect greater focus on expressing one\u2019s higher self (Jupiter) through service to others (Virgo)\u00a0but also a diminishment of the kind of confidence and positivity that we experienced under Jupiter in Leo. \u00a0Jupiter is said to be in its detriment in Virgo because the expansiveness of Jupiter is impaired by Virgo\u2019s need to create order out of minute details. \u00a0The next year will be a time when managing of those small details in our lives becomes critical. \u00a0This dynamic will echo somewhat the restrictive force of Saturn against Jupiter, making this a better time for responsible attention to the mundane than walking around with our heads in the clouds.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
