We are heading into a boring week of astrology, compared to the shit storm we’ve endured for the past 30 or so weeks. That doesn’t mean that things will be ducky; everything may go just fine; less activity just gives me less to write about.
There’s neither a New Moon nor a Full Moon; there are no planetary conjunctions; Mercury is leaving everyone alone for a change; Venus and Mars aren’t doing anything special.
Nothing that happens once every 100-500 years will be taking place; in terms of overdone hype, incredible occasions for personal growth or unbearably stressful emotional ‘opportunities’, this week is pretty much a yawner.
However, I will stretch my imagination past its usual limits and come up with something. Currently the Moon is waxing toward a Full Moon that will take place in Pisces on Aug. 31. That’s a hint to gradually build momentum over the next week or two.
Looking ahead for the next five days or so, the big event is that the Sun makes its way through the last degrees of Leo and into Virgo. That’s Wednesday at 1:06 pm EDT. As the Sun crosses the imaginary line between Leo and Virgo, it will make a conjunction to an extremely slow-moving, imaginary (properly said, ‘hypothetical’) point called Transpluto. By imaginary I mean that it exists only in the minds of astrologers, and in astrology programs. It’s a hypothetical point that I started following only due to a software update that included it a few years back — and it’s proven to be interesting.
