You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

We are past the Eclispes, but still in Eclipse Season until the New Moon on 9/10.
Eclipses signify times of fated/destined changes or events in our lives and the world around us! They are like supercharged New/Full Moons, said to be 10 times more powerful than a normal lunation. They are times when our most steady lights, the Sun and Moon, go dark. Eclipses were seen as negative omens by ancient people and astrologers. It is advised to avoid charging your crystals/tools under the light of the Eclispes. It is also advised to avoid intention setting and manifestation rituals during Eclispes. We do not want to charge sacred items or do intention setting/manifestations because Eclispes open portals of energy, and we NEVER know what's coming through portals. We want to be vigilant of whatever comes in, however. Eclispes are times to pray, fast, and lie low while the energy is whirling around us. Eclispes are like energetic Cat 5 hurricanes; it's not advised to venture out into these storms to explore. Whatever we pull in if we are manifesting/charging will have the energy of Eclispes imprinted. Eclispes are chaotic times; why invite more chaos than necessary?!
Powerful beginnings and endings often take place around Eclipses. Trust that whatever is coming in or leaving our lives is fated. Destiny is in the driver's seat in our lives, and Eclipses are known to course-correct us if we've gotten on the wrong path or are stuck. It may not feel like it, but whatever is happening IS for our Highest Good. We may need some time and space from the events to see the Higher Purpose in the Eclipse events.
We are likely to hear more about pregnancies, births, engagements, wedding announcements, as well as deaths, relationships ending, or job losses during this time. This first Eclipse in Leo is a Solar Eclipse (always a New Moon); it's a South Node Eclipse, so significant, powerful endings, wrapped in new beginnings, are coming in. Something is being taken away and replaced with something else. This is a spiritual course correction, because Jupiter is also in Leo.
Hungry Ghost Month!
If you're out partying, please be careful and thoughtful of your state. Avoid excess alcohol and drugs. Protect your energy. The energy/psychic vampires are out in droves! In Chinese Astrology, we are in the Hungry Ghost month. It started yesterday and lasts until 9/10. This is a time when the gates of the underworld open and spirits are allowed to roam freely. Yikes! It is advised to avoid going out late at night; if possible, avoid alcohol/drugs; wear protective amulets; avoid covering your head; avoid swimming at sunset. In China, plates of food are set out at crossroads; incense is burned so that the souls may "eat" and be satisfied. It is a time for prayer, protection, and regular energy clearing and cleansing.

Monday and Tuesday are the most challenging days of the week!
Venus enters her Rx Shadow late Monday morning, then we have the powerful Jupiter-Saturn trine in the evening! This brings us back to 12/21/20, when we had the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0* of Aquarius! Think back to this time: what seeds were planted? We then had the Jupiter-Saturn square on 6/15/25. This marked a challenge or pointed out where we need to take action. Now we have the Jupiter -Saturn trine! This is incredibly supportive, uplifting, inspirational energy. We need to use it to see benefits. Trines make things feel smooth, so they often go unnoticed and underutilized!
On Tuesday, we have an extremely tense and uncomfortable Mars-Saturn square! Ouch! This aspect addresses the consequences for our actions! It's an exhausting energy; we could feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Stress and strain are hallmarks of this aspect. This is an accident-prone aspect, so please be careful! It's a broken-bone aspect, so no unnecessary risks! Avoid overdoing it in the gym; muscle sprains/strains are also likely. Saturn is dealing out some serious karma now, so we should clean up our act before we get a Saturnian smack! Mars does get some Mutual Reception from Saturn, as Mars rules Aries, where Saturn is transiting! Mars is currently in its sign of Fall, so he's thrilled to get any support! This is a time of harsh consequences. It's not the time to ask for a raise or favors. This aspect is like driving with the brakes on!
Shortly after the Mars-Saturn square on Tuesday, Mercury inconjuncts Saturn, delivering some hard news to us! This is a blindsiding aspect; brace yourself for news/information coming your way! This is also an accident-prone energy, so caution!
Mercury then sextiles Mars, bringing him some much-needed support after his brutal battle with Saturn! Mercury and Mars are trouble-making, mischievous friends. Avoid taunting your boss/authority figures! This aspect can bring in solutions, helpful friends, and some timely support.
The Sun inconjuncts Saturn on Saturday evening. This is a reality check aspect. The Sun is doing inventory and notices that something is off. We may need to reestablish some rules and boundaries! Unexpected reality checks, harsh realities, and karmic slaps are likely. Take good care of your health; take anything coming up seriously! It's an ideal self-check time!
Venus is in her Retrograde Shadow now.
We are officially in the pre-Venus Rx Shadow, which means that themes from the upcoming Venus Rx are coming up. Pay attention to what happens, especially around love, relationships, beauty, pleasures, fairness, and legal situations! Venus rules these areas, and as she slows down and retrogrades, these themes are highlighted. This is NOT the time for plastic surgeries, shopping sprees, or radical changes to your style/appearance. We are unlikely to be happy with the results!
This is also a time when relationship challenges spike! If dating someone new, take things very slowly! If you meet someone new, or become interested/attracted to someone during the Shadow/Retrograde, chances are that by the time Venus Stations Direct, you'll be over it, in a BIG WAY! Initially, it could feel like fiery chemistry and passion, even like a fated connection, but remember, Venus isn't seeing things or thinking clearly! Venus begins her Rx in Scorpio, then retrogrades back into Libra. Think back to the Fall of 2018; this was the last Venus Rx in Scorpio! Similar themes could come up! Intense passions that have a destructive outcome are highly likely!
For now, Venus is still in her home sign in Libra, so although she's in her Rx Shadow, she's still capable of good things. Once she enters Scorpio, her sign of Fall, the vibe shifts significantly! Beware of self-undoing during this Venus Rx cycle!
Today:
Venus is in her Retrograde Shadow! This is HUGE! So, Venus entered her Rx Shadow now in Libra on 8/31, enters Scorpio on 9/10, Stations Rx on 10/3, Retrogrades back to Libra on 10/25, Stations Direct on 11/13, and finally clears her Rx Shadow on 12/15! The Goddess of Love, Beauty, and relationships is slowing down, entering her Retrograde Shadow period, also inviting us to slow down and spend more time in contemplation and reflection. This is NOT a supportive time for Venusian activities. It's great for cleaning out the closet and getting rid of old makeup or skincare products; donate unused items.
The Moon is waning, decreasing in light. She's going down fast! This is an ideal time for reflection, contemplation, and turning inward. Get more rest during Waning Moon times, focus on protection work, and clear energy.
We are almost through Eclipse Season!
The Moon spends most of the weekend in her home sign, Cancer.
Overall, it's a mellow weekend! Take some time to rest and regroup, because next week is a lot!
Saturday:
We are building up to the Sun-Saturn inconjunction this evening. We feel this energy building all day. This is a blindsiding aspect. The Sun has combed through all the information and details and has been deeply discerning. Now Saturn is ready to make his karmic ruling. This is a harsh reality check, karmic course correction. We may not like what we hear. This aspect can be accident-prone, so please be careful and avoid unnecessary risks! Dig in and make the necessary adjustments!
We begin the morning under a void Moon. Enjoy a slow and easy morning. The Moon enters Cancer late this morning. This Moon is cranky this afternoon, making some tough aspects.
Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Shadow in Libra at 4:40 am; this is a loving, amorous aspect. The Moon and Venus are flowing in harmony, sharing loving, tender feelings. Our dreams are sweet tonight. Enjoy!
The Moon goes void of course with this aspect. It's a shorter void Moon, but the Moon is void until late this morning. Enjoy a slow, easy, peaceful morning. Sleep in.
The Moon enters Cancer at 10:30 am; the Moon in Cancer is sensitive, emotional, instinctual, sentimental, memory-retentive, nurturing, self-protective, family/mother/home-oriented.
The Moon is at home in Cancer; she's happy to be here.
Moon in Cancer sextiles Chiron Rx in Taurus at 11:11 am; this is a powerful healing aspect! The Moon and Chiron are working together to heal, harmonize, and restore our health and mental state. The Moon is strong now and has Mutual Reception with Chiron in Taurus; the Moon is exalted in Taurus.
Moon in Cancer inconjuncts Pluto Rx in Aquarius at 4:16 pm; deep, uncomfortable emotions are being uncovered. We are caught off guard, and we're feeling sensitive. This is a blindsiding aspect; pay attention to what comes up!
Moon in Cancer squares Neptune Rx in Aries at 4:28 pm; this is a gaslighting aspect. The Moon is strong and seeing clearly but feeling sensitive, while Neptune denies the reality of the situation and tries to convince the Moon that fantasy is real. Our physical bodies are more sensitive now; be careful with medications, alcohol, and drugs. We are feeling more sensitive than normal.
Sun in Virgo inconjuncts Saturn Rx in Aries at 6:48 pm; this is a harsh reality check! The Virgo Sun isn't in the mood to mess around; it's collecting information and data and is highly discerning. Saturn is prepared to make a ruling on the situation. The truth of the situation could catch us off guard, but it's true! If we've been misbehaving, this is a karmic slap! Please drive and travel safely. This is an accident-prone aspect. It is also a health aspect. Take anything that comes up seriously!
Sunday:
We have a mixed bag of aspects today. First thing this morning, the Moon asks to get serious and tend to responsibilities. By late morning, things calm down and feel more enjoyable. The Moon meets Mars mid-afternoon; this aspect is emotionally volatile and disruptive.
Moon in Cancer squares Saturn Rx in Aries at 8:54 am; we have some work or responsibilities to tend to this morning. It's not a restful morning. Tend to responsibilities. This aspect asks us to practice emotional discipline and responsibility. Maybe we need a time-out to restore our energy and recover. Domestic disturbances are likely now.
Moon in Cancer sextiles the Sun in Virgo at 10:00 am; the Sun pulls back more light from the Moon now. The Sun and Moon are working in harmony, uplifting and supporting each other. This is another step down from the Eclipse energy! We finally close out Eclipse Season for the year next week Thursday, with the electrifying and very interesting Virgo New Moon!
Moon in Cancer conjuncts Mars in Cancer at 3:06 pm; ugh, ouch! The Moon and Mars are feeling emotionally raw. This aspect can be emotionally volatile, eruptive, angry, and intense. This conjunction can signify arguments, confrontations, fights, and aggression. Pick your battles! It can manifest as domestic violence or children running away from home. Please make sure that you feel safe. If threatened, LEAVE! This aspect is extra intense because we are closing out Eclipse Season, so the final suction can be overwhelming. We can use this energy for energetic cord cutting, cleaning/clearing our homes, clearing clutter, exercise, and weight lifting. Move the energy. Remember, mad is just sad's bodyguard! There's a big baby behind all that anger/aggression. What we really need is a hug/weighted blanket!
Moon in Cancer sextiles Mercury in Virgo at 3:01 am 9/7; psychic dreams, messages, and omens are coming through now.

Raven- Magic
Magic is in the air. Do not try to figure it out; you cannot. The power of the unknown is at work, and something special is about to happen. The deeper mystery, however, is how you will respond to the sparkling synchronicity of this alchemical moment. Will you recognize it and use it to further enhance your growth? Can you accept that it is a gift from Great Spirit? Or will you limit the power of the Great Mystery by explaining it away?
It may be time to call Raven as a courier to carry an intention, some healing energy, a thought, or a message. Raven is the patron of smoke signals or spirit messages represented by smoke. This is a time to send and receive messages.
Remember, this magic moment came from the void of darkness, and the challenge is to bring it to light. In doing so, you will have honored the magician within.

Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
