A week of bursts and calm unfold with interesting activations and new levels of awareness flooding in. August 7th features the Sun in Leo sextiling Jupiter in Gemini at 15 degrees, opening up communications, messages, downloads, and inspiring plans that may give you optimistic forward energy. Yet Mercury retrograde in Virgo is conjunct Venus on the same day, which offers us grounding questions around how, where, and when this “great thing” will come together. Then we won’t have any major Ptolemaic aspects between planets until August 14 when catalyst Mars makes an exact conjunction to Jupiter in Gemini at 16 degrees, ready to take off and put suppressed thoughts into motion. Sharing more in this week’s podcast, including the strong solar energies and quiet periods of reflection.   ~~ How To Read Your Solar Return Chart – Discover the main astrology themes and energies on your birthday as Molly teaches you how to interpret your solar return chart over 8 online courses.
