Weekly Astrology Forecast for All Signs 11-17 August 2025

ARIES

No more waiting – just free wheeling

Doors to opportunity open wide

Welcome to the Big Easy, Aries!

We have ignition! In life, luck and love this week, Aries. Expect a big leap forward when it comes to projects and plans. And possibly a change of address, direction or luck too.

Mercury changes direction from reverse to forward motion in Leo and your 5^th (11^th). Retro madness around romance, pleasure projects and passion is almost at an end. Retroshadow will last another two weeks, but Mercury’s ability to create mayhem is now much reduced. Instead we have myriad ways to create opportunity, grasp fresh solutions and move your life in the direction you dream of heading.

The 12^th not only sees Venus meet Jupiter in Cancer and your 4^th, but a galaxy of star struck aspects form between the planets. It’s the first time the two planets have met in this sector of your chart since 2002. And what makes this encounter extra special is that their meeting falls conjunct the fixed star Sirius. A star with which we associate Jupiter’s qualities of luck, opportunity, blessings, fame, fortune and renown. So, this aspect amplifies Jupiter’s ability to deliver solutions and open doors. Possibility literally in the house of home, property and lifestyle.

Ruler Mars in Libra and your 7^th, remains in orb with Mercury all week. Giving you that extra push and confidence when it comes to projects and plans. And Mars forms part of the other glittering aspects str etching across the sky on the 12^th. A Grand Air Trine between Uranus in your 3^rd, Mars and Pluto in your 11^th forms the body of a Double Kite aspect. Many aspects can be interpreted quite literally – kites soar so think elevation.

Venus, Jupiter and Sirius meet at 14 Cancer. Do check your own chart for any factors in any sign/house at this degree. And you can allow for a 1 degree orb either side. If you are lucky enough to have anything – and do include any aspects like your ascendant/descendant, IC/MC, Nodes and asteroids in the mix, then you can expect extra benefits. But this is a lucky day no matter whether you have 14 degree aspects or not.

Another major aspect – what we call an Envelope which also contains a Mystic Rectangle, impacts Saturn in your sign as well as your ruler. And with Mercury, planet of news and communication included, think messages, news and positive results winging their way to you. On some level the universe wants to say ‘Yes’ to your request. Ideas take off. You gain anything from followers to attention, a positive response, your offer or application is accepted, or an area of life which has been stalled or stagnant, revives with a rush of activity. You are set to attract. Don’t waste it by doing nothing however, Aries. This week offers a powerful homecoming – to just how easy life is supposed to be.

In a nutshell: The cosmos sends you a message this week: life is meant to be easy. Enter free-flow as the stars align to offer you an opportunity to move on up. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can simply sit back and do nothing. Just that struggle can be put behind you.

TAURUS

No more keeping those ideas to yourself

Are the planets showing up in person?

What’s on offer shouldn’t be missed!

News too big to miss. Or an offer you shouldn’t refuse. Ruler Venus cosies up to Jupiter in your 3^rd (12^th). And their alignment with fixed star Sirius in your communication is set to bring you news you have been waiting on, a new outlet for projects and plans, a stellar opportunity to pursue or fresh direction to explore. Say it, share it, send it out there. There are rewards on offer thanks to the Grand Air Trine forming the same day between Uranus in your 2^nd, Mars in your 6^th and Pluto in your success sector.

Venus, Jupiter and Sirius meet at 14 Cancer. Do check your own chart for any factors in any sign/house at this degree. And you can allow for a 1 -2 degree orb either side. If you are lucky enough to have anything – and do include aspects like your ascendant/descendant, IC/MC, Nodes and asteroids in the mix, then you can expect extra benefits. But this is a lucky day no matter whether you have 14 degree aspects or not. Ideas, projects and plans and home related matters also move ahead thanks to the end of Mercury retrograde in your 4^th.

This is the first time your ruler and Jupiter have been conjunct in this sector of your chart since 2002. If you were 18 or over back then, jump back in time and see what you set in motion, what was held out or on offer, or a dialogue or idea which had a momentum all its own. Travel, projects and plans and a key conversation could move you ahead. Especially when it comes to your role or goals in life.

The day of the conjunction doesn’t just bring a Grand Air Trine aspect, but two Kites and a Mystic Rectangle/Envelope. Both your love planets – Mars and Pluto are caught up in these. And an easy way to interpret these aspects is the literal one. ‘High flying’ with Kites. And messages and news in Envelopes. Especially as Pluto is in your success sector. Which adds up to career or status elevation.

Often with Jupiter aspects, Jupiter can appear for you in person. Or alternatively, you begin to embody the latent Jupiter qualities residing within you. Which in turn attract opportunity your way. So, you are looking for someone with a strong sense of self-worth, stable, secure in their ideas and who takes the initiative, and who is very adept at identifying opportunities. Although hard working, they don’t take life too seriously. And know when to kick back and have fun. Or did I just describe you, Taurus? Prepare to be the planet. Or meet it in person in the form of something or someone new this week.

In a nutshell: Dazzling cosmic aspects see ruler Venus meet with Jupiter in Cancer and your 3^rd. News that’s too big to miss, an offer you shouldn’t refuse or an opportunity arrive. Ideas take you further. While the ‘L’ word? Say it loud.

GEMINI

We’ll light up

We’ve been waiting for this moment to come

Tim Halperin. Light Up

Light up and become a beacon of attraction this week. Especially when it comes to abundance. In all its myriad forms. You don’t need money to buy that ‘rich’ feeling. Although your bank account could receive a significant boost. And if finances have been the sticking point for moving ahead with your plans, this week could hand you the solution.

Chances are you have been spinning your wheels and waiting for the moment when ruler Mercury ends its retrograde in Leo and your 3^rd(11^th). Yes, Mercury still has two weeks of retro-shade before its flies free. But this is your moment to push ahead with those projects and plans.

Prepare for something surprising, new and barrier breaking to appear. Possibly as early as the very next day. First, Uranus in your sign forms a Grand Air Trine with Mars in your 5^th and Pluto in your 9^th. This forms the body of a soaring Double Kite aspect. And both Uranus and Mercury form key angles within a Mystic Rectangle/Envelope aspect which also appears on the 12^th. A day when Venus and Jupiter meet in Cancer and your 2^nd house. This hasn’t occurred since 2002. And this time, Venus and Jupiter are conjunct the fixed star Sirius at 14 degrees.

Do check your chart for any factors at 14 degrees or within a 1-2 degree orb in any sign/house. If you have them you could be in line for extra bonuses, solutions and boosts as Sirius is a star which shares similar characteristics with Jupiter.

Do the follow through when it comes to exploring new money making ideas and sources of income. But we associate Sirius with all the qualities that Jupiter embodies – luck, fame, fortune, accolades, wins and expansion. So, Jupiter’s generosity is boosted by this encounter. Many aspects can be interpreted literally by the design they form in the sky. Kites – flying high. Envelopes and Mystic Rectangles – contain news, opportunities and solutions. The aspects of the 12^th are no exception to this. Something sends your actual worth or self-worth soaring. And it could be a piece of news or you spotting that opportunity and following through on it.

You have that extra boost from ruler Mercury because as it starts to gain traction in your 3^rd, it travels along with confident Mars in your pleasure zone. You project not just sassy self-confidence but pure joy from anything you undertake now. And it’s catching. You light up others and your zest and daring acts as inspiration – and a magnet. This weeks that moment you’ve been waiting for. Make the most of it.

In a nutshell: Your moment to light up or shine arrives. Ruler Mercury ends its retrograde. While your self-worth is in the spotlight. Work what makes you shine, Gemini. There’s rewards on offer that are more than just what money can buy you.

CANCER

I want to see how lucky Lucky can be

Melissa Etheridge. Lucky

Just how lucky can lucky be, Cancer? Jupiter is at its most generous and opportunity creating this week as it meets Venus in your sign. Something that hasn’t occurred since 2002. The last time Jupiter paid your sign a visit, Venus was retrograde in Capricorn and your 7^th. So, by the time it caught up, Jupiter had left. So, this is an extremely rare event. What makes it such a rare jewel is that it occurs at 14 degrees of your sign – conjunct the fixed star Sirius.

Do check where your Cancer factors are in your birth chart. And yes, you can allow for a 1-2 degree orb. The luck factor will be enhanced but whether you have these or not – all Cancerians are under extremely lucky stars this week. And this is because Sirius amplifies Jupiter’s ability to deliver opportunities, solutions, wins, freedom, fame and fortune.

Mercury lifts the lid on finances as it heads direct in Leo and your 2^nd (11^th). It travels along with Mars now in your 4^th for a few days as it regains its momentum. Once more, your prime focus with money matters will be your home and long term security. That means a worry-free environment when it comes to your income and perhaps what you owe or earn. If Jupiter’s largesse manifests in extra money now, look at it buying you peace of mind. And if you are debt free, then how this can create a life free of stress for your future.

Above all – be open minded as to what form opportunity may appear in. Do not cling to old or fixed ideas or outcomes of what this looks like. Be willing to explore something new. Or else you may limit what this conjunction delivers.

Certain aspects which form in the sky can be interpreted quite literally. We don’t have to be ‘expert’ astrologers to understand what they portend. The day of the Venus/Jupiter/Sirius conjunction sees two Kite aspects and a Mystic Rectangle/Envelope form between the planets. The basis of which is a Grand Air Trine between Uranus in your 12^th, Mars in your 4^th and Pluto in your 8^th. Think of the envelope as containing special news, an offer or announcement. Like an awards ceremony when it is opened ‘And the Oscar goes to . . .’. Kites are high flying, releasing aspects. And Jupiter is all about freedom. News you have been waiting or hoping for could arrive. Love takes off or lifts you higher. Or you spot that opportunity and are willing to go wherever it takes you.

Luck is simply how we choose to describe a fortunate cosmic alignment or synchronicity of opportunity, people, time and place. Which is set in motion by our willingness to simply go with it. And find out just how lucky Lucky can be.

In a nutshell: Jupiter, Venus and the star Sirius meet in your sign. A rare alignment which could see you thanking your lucky stars this week, Cancer. Time to roll the dice, take a chance and play that hand. Lucky you.

LEO

Work a little pre-magic

Become what you want to attract

Rehearsal’s over – opening night!

Pre-manifestation is an important phase when it comes to attaining our dreams and goals. We can’t skip it if we want that ultimate attainment and success. Mercury retrograde in your sign will not only have shown you where you needed to back-track when it comes to this all-important step in making those dreams come true – but also seen you change up your personal energy field so you are more aligned with whatever it is you want in order to attract it. Like attracts like. It’s that simple.

You now get to see the results of your pre-manifestation makeover as Mercury ends its retrograde (11^th). And travels with Mars in your 3^rd as it regains momentum again. The feeling the wait is well and truly over is echoed by the Venus/Jupiter conjunction in Cancer and your 12^th (12^th). You are in a powerful state of inception and drawing what you want to you now. Where you have a clear vision of what this is. And of becoming what you desire to draw to you in the process.

It’s been 23 years since Venus last encountered Jupiter in Cancer. And what makes this meeting extra special is that both planets are conjunct the fixed star Sirius at 14 Cancer. Sirius embodies the very best of Jupiter’s qualities. But bigger, brighter and more stellar as its a star! So, fame, fortune, elevation, renown, rewards, lucky breaks and in your 12^th house – release from the past. And delivery on what you have been waiting for!

Pre-manifestation work including you becoming more resourceful, more invention and more inspired. It crushes lack of confidence and motivation. Or even undeservedness which has held you back. On the same day as the conjunction occurs, we have far reaching, magical planetary alignments stretching across the sky. Opening up vast portals of potential. And you can use your pre-manifest work to make the most of these.

The 12^th sees a Grand Air Trine form the body of two high-flying Kite aspects. Linking to Pluto in your 7^th and Mercury in your 1^st. A second set of aspects known as a Mystic Rectangle/Envelope also include Mercury and Pluto. As well as Uranus in your 11^th and Saturn in your 9^th. You don’t have to be an astro expert to interpret how these aspects work. They can be quite literal. Kites catch the wind and soar – and the body of the Kites is in air signs! Envelopes and Mystic Rectangles bring offers, news, messages and information. Announcements as in awards ceremonies. And in the pre-internet days the cheque in the mail or the acceptance. Something springs from that pre-preparation or those past efforts. Rehearsal and dreaming is over, Leo. Now set your intention to have it or live it for real.

In a nutshell: Just like fitness training, pre-manifestation work gets you fit to receive, Leo. This week, be ready to see results appear. Or a way forward which leads you away from past failure. In other words, raise your fitness to receive!

VIRGO

Let people move you

Explore your gratitude connection

Cup half empty? Ready for a refill!

You can’t fill a cup which is over-flowing to excess, Virgo. Yes, your thoughts may have instantly gone to the image of the Ace of Cups in the Smith-Waite Tarot deck. The overflowing cup of abundance, love and fulfilment. But without those times when the cup may only be half full – or even totally empty, we would not appreciate the bliss of when not one but several (as symbolised by the five streams pouring from the cup) areas of our life overflow with abundance and joy.

This can happen when we lose our connection to gratitude, take things for granted or do things to excess. When no matter how much we have – it is never enough. Mercury retrograde in your 12^th has been about making room for more to enter. On a physical and on a spiritual level. No matter the state of your cup – to move from a mindset that says it’s empty. Just that it was designed to be refilled. And also that sometimes we need to consciously empty it. And to cultivate a less-is-more approach. As Mercury heads direct on the 11^th, ensure you have made room for the new to enter and fill your cup back to overflowing. And do so with expectation, gratitude and the secret sauce – contentment with your cup!

Remember your Jupiter in Cancer forecast? About making three wishes and to expect at least one to manifest during Jupiter’s year long transit in your goal getting 11^th? Cup filling goal gains appear on the 12^th as Venus and Jupiter entwine in your 11^th. Wishing upon a star could get you a positive answer as this meeting takes place conjunct the fixed star Sirius. A star which embodies and amplifies Jupiter’s qualities of open-handedness, gains, luck, fame and fortune.

Yes, you still need to do your part. The planets can often appear in person to assist. This is a day to make yourself available. And to watch for who approaches. There’s a portal opening above our heads through which they can appear. And people are the universe’s delivery system – just like Amazon.

Two high flying Kites and an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle as well as a Grand Air Trine across your success and money zones point to changes and gains. Especially as both Kites and the Envelope contain ruler Mercury. Make space for what’s winging your way, Virgo. That includes the news or a fresh pathway towards what you want. And when it comes to friendships – yes, you can’t have too much of a good thing!

In a nutshell: Venus and Jupiter align with the star Sirius in your house of goals and dreams. Wishes could manifest but first – do you have room? Cups which are overflowing can’t be filled. And gratitude is like gravity – a powerful force. Less is more but never enough – stops the flow.

LIBRA

Cut the strings of what is holding you back

Set your sights higher

Elevate your game!

Set those sights higher this week, Libra. First, you have an uplifting Grand Air Trine forming between fiery, confident Mars in your sign, powerhouse Pluto in your passion sector and dare to be authentically and brilliantly you Uranus, in your house of soul freedom (12^th). You’ll be very aware of what or who may have been holding you back, keeping you from spreading those wings or limiting your moves.

Perhaps you have been feeling disillusioned about your goals or path in life recently? Lost your mojo, motivation or even faith in yourself, your talents and skills? Or even – stopped believing in love? You will reclaim what you need now – be it that direction or self-belief as Mercury heads direct once again in Leo and your 11^th. And receives a fuel injection of reinvigorated passion and self-assurance from Mars in your sign.

This week also sees ruler Venus meet Jupiter in your house of success, recognition, rewards, roles and goals. It’s been 23 years since these two planets met in Cancer and your 10^th. And what makes this entanglement rarer still is that this meeting occurs in exact conjunction with the fixed star Sirius at 14 degrees of Cancer. Do check your own chart for anything around the key 14 degree orb. And you can allow for 1-2 degrees either way. Of any sign/house. But no matter if you have them or not, this meeting could see you ready to receive rewards, acclaim or the attention you deserve due to the fact that Sirius amplifies all the qualities we associate with Jupiter – luck, fame, fortune and renown. Plus you have your ruler on side and adding the pleasure factor! In your house of public image. It could be fame could seek you out. Or you find yourself very much in the spotlight.

The Grand Air Trine planets are at the heart of a grandstanding series of aspects which form on this day. We have two high flying Kites, and a Mystic Rectangle/Envelope. These include Saturn now in your partnership zone. So, this also includes those relationship goals. Or even your partner’s goals that you are equally invested in. We can interpret these aspects quite literally. Kites soar up, Mary Poppins like into the atmosphere. The Grand Air Trine means they take flight and go higher! It’s a breeze in other words. Don’t think of bills when you think of envelopes! Think love letters, offers and special announcements. Such as ‘The Oscar goes to . . .’. It could be its your name that’s being read out and in lights this week. Go fly a kite, Libra!

In a nutshell: Ruler Venus meets Jupiter and fixed star Sirius in your house of public image, recognition and rewards. You could find yourself in the spotlight or sought out for what you do. Time to get Sirius about what you want to achieve. The sky’s literally the limit this week.

SCORPIO

Follow where opportunity leads you

A brand new phase or journey begins

Rise up!

Both your ruler ancient and modern form part of this week’s electric sky backdrop. Mars in your 12^th and Pluto in your 4^th link across to Uranus in your change sector on the 12^th. Forming a Grand Air Trine which in turn forms the heart of other far-scaping aspects – two high-flying Kites and an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. These also embrace Mercury – direct in your success sector from the 11^th. Game face on, Scorpio. And plans around roles and goals rekindle and take a big leap forward.

Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and your 9^th. Meaning it is at its most open handed and opportunity creating. A new journey or escape route to freedom opens up for you on the 12^th as it meets Venus in here. Something big is on offer. Time to ditch that comfort zone, rise up and meet it. These two planets haven’t met in this sector of your chart since 2002. The reason for this is that the last time Jupiter was in Cancer, Venus was retrograde in Capricorn. By the time it had caught up – Jupiter was way out of orb. And what makes this extra special is that both planets meet at 14 degrees of Cancer and the fixed star Sirius.

Do check your chart especially for natal Scorpio factors within a 1-2 degree orb of 14 degrees. If you have them, then this Venus/Jupiter/Sirius alignment will trine them. Sirius adds an extra supernova element to Jupiter – as both share the same characteristics – the ability to bring opportunity, luck, fame, fortune and renown.

Freedom, solutions or simply the big reveal of options you had no idea existed for you, can be one takeout. As can be travel, movement and freedom to pursue that big dream. The stars align to create two high flying Kite aspects. As well as a Mystic Rectangle/Envelope aspect. We can interpret these patterns quite literally. Kites fly high. Envelopes contain good news, messages and announcements. Anything from that offer to that ticket to a dream destination. Ditch the familiar, go for the bigger slice of life. Or that bigger role within it.

In a nutshell: Star struck aspects propel you away from the familiar – and towards something soul-expanding. Restrictions fall away and opportunities you didn’t know existed lure you away from that comfort zone. Get ready to explore, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS

Leave restrictions behind you

Set those plans in motion

Transcend those limits!

The world – literally your oyster. And you’re the pearl, Sag. Feelings of confinement and delays come to an end this week as Mercury, your love planet and planet of getting about, heads direct in Leo and your 9^th. Possibly with a surprise new direction to head in.

Something that has held you back could suddenly be lifted or simply over-turned thanks to the angle between Saturn in your 5^th and Uranus now in your 7^th. The 12^th brings breathtaking and uplifting change your way. Triggered first by ruler Jupiter’s entanglement with Venus in your house of transformation. It marks the end of a chapter of restriction. And the start of one of expansion and fulfilment.

It’s been 23 years since Jupiter and Venus met in this sector of your chart. What makes this time unique is that both planets are conjunct the fixed star Sirius at 14 degrees of Cancer. Sirius shares the same qualities as your ruler – the ability to deliver opportunity, fame, fortune, freedom, rewards and renown. But being a star, these are amplified. So, Jupiter’s ability to over deliver is super-sized at this point.

Also in the sky on this day – a Grand Air Trine between Uranus in your 7^th, Mars in your 11^th and Pluto in your 3^rd. Which in turn forms the body of a double Kite and a Mystic Rectangle/Envelope. We can often interpret aspects like these literally based on what patterns they form. With Kites think flying and ascending. And this one is lifted by planets in air signs. With Envelopes – again, think literally. Beneficial news, invitations, acceptances, offers and announcements. As in: ‘The Oscar goes to . . .’.

Set something in motion, go big and bold and look for new beginnings. They are all around you now. Either in the form of meeting someone new, taking something which already exists to a new level, launching a new project or plan, a new phase or yes, Sag – going somewhere new or gaining the means to get there. Literally – it’s written in the stars.

In a nutshell: Ruler Jupiter encounters Venus and the fixed star Sirius in your change sector this week. You’re moving away from whatever has held you back lately. Access to what’s been missing in terms of personal power and resources – you have the resources at your disposal now.

CAPRICORN

You attract what you radiate

Don’t neglect your partnership with yourself

It truly does take two this week!

Venus and Jupiter haven’t conjoined in Cancer and your 7^th house since 2002. That is because when Jupiter last occupied your 7^th 12 years ago, Venus was retrograde in your sign. So, by the time Venus headed direct again and caught up – Jupiter had left the building. So, unless you were 18 or over back then, you may have no point of reference as to just what this meeting may bring you. Especially when it comes to duos, duets and double acts of all descriptions.

What makes this meet-cute extraordinary is that this takes place conjunct the fixed star Sirius at 14 degrees Cancer. Do check your chart for Capricorn factors within a 1-2 degree orb of this. Or factors in any house/sign in your chart. If you have them, they will be triggered offering extra benefits. But for all Capricorns, this could be the most loved-up encounter of ‘25.

You yourself are radiating strong, sexy and confident thanks to Mercury now direct in your sector of self-empowerment. And Mars in your 10^th handing you that aura of someone who knows what they want. The 12^th also sees ruler Saturn entangled within passionate and new direction setting aspects which stretch across the heavens.

First we have a Grand Air Trine linking Mars in your success sector to Pluto in your money zone and newly arrived Uranus in your house of day job, devotion and duty. This forms the heart of two high flying Kite elements – which also embrace Saturn in your 4^th. There’s also another aspect known as a Mystic Rectangle/Envelope forming. Again, this contains Saturn. A good rule of thumb with these kinds of aspects is to simply interpret them literally. You don’t have to be an astro pro. Kites soar into the sky. And in this case, the body of the Kite is created by planets in breezy air signs. Envelopes – think announcements, good news, invitations, offers. As in ‘The Oscar goes to . . .’. Or ‘We are pleased to offer you . . .’ – or as we are focussed on your partnership zone ‘Save the date!’.

Needless to say, if you are single and seeking, this is the week to elevate yourself so love can find you. Partners past, present and potential feature. But don’t forget the most important one of all – the one you have with yourself. Those qualities that you embody right now? Look for someone who reflects them. Charming, confident, generous, outgoing, strong, classy and sexy. And they have impeccable taste. That goes without saying if they are drawn to you! That new work alliance could be with someone who is grounded, organised, savvy, dependable and a bit of a visionary. Your role or your goal is about to receive an upgrade. Get ready for fulfilment.

In a nutshell: It’s been 23 years since Venus and Jupiter last met in Cancer and your 7^th. This time they meet the fixed star Sirius. Putting partnerships – past, present and potential, front and centre. In all guises, shapes and forms. Double up to double your luck – in love and life, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS

Recognise the love you deserve

Lean in to self-belief

Become an everyday miracle worker!

Mercury heads direct in Leo and your 7^th this week. Hopefully you have used this retrograde cycle to show your current relationship some TLC. Or for singles, to release any remaining limiting beliefs or self-doubt. If you have felt unable to exit a ‘situationship’ – perhaps because you either don’t believe you deserve something better, or you have been holding on in the hope that more will be on offer, Mercury’s move forward combined with other elements this week, puts an end to paralysis or indecision. You take back your power and opt to be the one writing your own love story from this point onwards.

Acts of self-love or care are Happily Ever Afters in their own right. Because we have opted to do the right thing by ourselves. We restore faith and self-belief. And send a clear message across the cosmos that we deserve better. In doing so, we unleash our infinite potential and personal capacity to attract what we need.

Keep all this in the forefront of your mind this week as rare and radiant alignments come spinning out of the stars! The 12^th sees ruler Uranus link to Saturn in your 3^rd. And Uranus also forms part of a Grand Air Trine with Mars in your 9^th and Pluto in your 1^st. It’s a point of rebirth, renewal and action when it comes to love. Or even those big dreams, Aquarius. You may arrive at the point where you forgive others – and yourself, for the past. And decisively and finally, close a door. And step into something new and powerful. Even if initially you are doing this alone.

The Grand Air Trine is the base of a double Kite aspect. Plus Uranus is also part of a special Mystic Rectangle/Envelope which also appears on this day. You don’t have to be a professional astrologer to interpret what these mean. They can quite literally be translated by the patterns they form. Kites fly high. Lifted by the air. And this one is formed from planets in air signs – including yours and your ruler in your 5^th. Envelopes contain news, offers, invitations, opportunities and yes, announcements as in awards ceremony envelopes ‘And the Oscar goes to . . .’ We can receive the digital equivalent of an email or DM – but the meaning is the same.

Good news could be heading your way around work, your day job, studies, staff if you are the one doing the hiring, pets, wellness and every day wellbeing. Venus and Jupiter align in your 6^th of everyday work and miracles also on the 12^th. An encounter which hasn’t happened since 2002. Do check your chart for any factors at 14 degrees. Of any sign/house but especially in Cancer or your own sign. You can allow for a 1-2 degree orb each way. Deciding to lean in to self-belief and your full potential could now pay off. A new job, position, project, course of study or way to living and loving better could be on its way. If you are seeking work or to change jobs, with Mercury now direct again, it’s time to send those applications winging their way out there. And to no longer settle for less than you know you deserve in either life or love.

In a nutshell: You’re exiting the Mercury retrograde with a rebooted sense of what you deserve in love. And will no longer settle for anything less. Stellar alignments see you work everyday miracles when it comes to your day job or habits. With a ripple effect into so many other areas.

PISCES

Love and destiny intertwine

Ditch that comfort zone for something heart-starting

Take back your sparkle!

There’s a new story emerging for you this week, Pisces. Are you ready to heed the call to begin something new? It may involve daring to extend yourself further than you have ever done before. To step into the unknown. And to leave that comfort zone. Just keep in mind that not only does nothing miraculous happen there, but also that once upon a time, your comfort zone was unexplored territory. There’s nothing wrong with the familiar. But not when it restricts us or prevents us from seeing what else may be out there.

You’re heading into what could be the luckiest week of the year for you. Didn’t we just have that, you may ask? Yes, back in June we had what many astrologers touted as the ‘Luckiest day of the Year’ – the meeting between the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer. Did it live up to the hype, Pisces? Especially as it took place in your fabulizing 5^th of pleasure, romance, attraction, joy and bliss? Or did it leave you feeling the whole thing was over-hyped and over-rated?

This week ancient ruler Jupiter meets with Venus in Cancer. Something which hasn’t happened since 2002. This is due to Venus being retrograde in Capricorn and your 11^th the last time Jupiter paid this sector of your chart a visit. By the time Venus caught up – Jupiter had left. Do check your chart for Pisces factors at 14 degrees. Or any at 14 Cancer or in Scorpio and your 9^th house. You can allow for an orb of 1-2 degrees either way. If you have them in your 1^st or 9^th – this conjunction will trine them. If they are in Cancer, they will be directly energised by this meeting which also takes place exactly conjunct the fixed star Sirius in here.

Sirius shares a lot of Jupiter’s qualities – and amplifies them. Think luck, opportunity, fame, fortune, rewards, renown. And this is in your house of attraction. The day also brings us a Grand Air Trine formed by Uranus in your 4^th, Mars in your 8^th and Pluto in your 12^th. And these planets combine to form a vast tapestry of cosmic alignments – two high flying Kites, and a Mystic Rectangle/Envelope. Destiny and karma have a role to play with what is delivered now. You may leave restrictions challenges behind you. Perhaps by what can only be termed ‘divine intervention’. Or you simply deciding that you have nothing to lose by taking a chance and trying something different.

Aspects like these can often be interpreted literally. Kites soar and fly high. Envelopes contain news, offers, invitations and announcements. Think ‘And the Oscar goes to. . .’ Some of you could find yourselves the centre of attention. An opportunity arises for you to sparkle and shine. Or the focus of something special. What you hoped for or wanted, appears as if by magic. If so, take it that’s good karma and you earned it. Or you simply detach and refuse to be dragged down or limited when it comes to what you can have or make happen. You’re back in sync with love, life or simply with yourself. Know what’s really outside that comfort zone, Pisces? No limits love.

In a nutshell: Holidays and happily ever after’s feature as Venus and Jupiter meet the fixed star Sirius in your 5^th of romance, attraction and pleasure. It’s time to glow up, Pisces. And escape all that’s dull, and familiar. If not for yourself, do it for love!
