This week takes on a more harmonious and subdued quality, thanks to pleasant Venus changing sign into people-pleasing Libra, and shocking Uranus dimming his lights for his annual retrograde!
Venus moves into Libra on 8/15:
Harmonious Venus enters her ruling sign Libra on Sunday. Expect personal and business partnerships, the arts, beauty, and pleasure to take center stage from 8/15 until 9/10.
In relationships, we’ll all naturally be more cooperative and diplomatic. We’ll think in terms of “we” (instead of “me”), and we’ll find the exact words to get our point across with kindness and fairness!
Beware some feelings of indecision, as we’re able to see both sides to every single story. And ALSO beware putting our partners’ feelings before our own, or dismissing our own needs and desires for the sake of not stirring up conflict.

Uranus Goes Retrograde on 8/19 until 1/18/22:
Every year, Uranus—the planet that rules technology, humanity, social causes, sudden changes—goes backwards for about five months. We won’t feel this as much or as personally as, say, a Mercury/Venus/Mars retrograde, but we WILL collectively feel it.
All these changes, upheavals, and innovations of late will not feel so intense for the last part of 2021. We get to marinate in the truths that have already come to light. We might see true anti-racist initiatives become more mainstream; we might see voter rights and protections become more of a priority. As Uranus is in the fiscal sign of Taurus during this stint, many of us have seen drastic changes to our financial pictures and the way money is handled in our society in the first place. While jarring, we should have a break from further financial upheavals, as we clean up the mess.

The Sun Opposes Jupiter, also on 8/19:
Expect the door of opportunity to fly open on Thursday…but to get the most out of it, you’ll have to stay grounded and not dive into grandiose impracticality. This is a good day to step forward into a dream of yours: just don’t over-promise results or get your hopes up too high!
