Good morning, friends!
Some quick updates to my posting schedule: This is the last full week where I will only be posting Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, as I get ready for my homeschool year. Regular daily horoscopes will resume next week on Thursday, September 1st. I have also put the 5-Day Weekly forecast on hold during this time, and I am considering letting it go for the duration of the school year.
If you have any comments or questions, please let me know, by replying to this newsletter, or sending me a private email.
Thanks!
Okay, now let’s get into…the astrology.
I had a dream last night where my husband, my children, and I were all walking around a town. My daughter only had one shoe on and it was a giant tennis shoe, way too big for her little foot. My husband and I decided we would both go into the bank and apply for jobs. As we entered, some man took the tarot deck that I was holding and proceeded to shuffle the deck and then give it back to me. When I got it back, I realized he had bent the cards! I was a little miffed but started flattening them back out, while my husband talked to me about our intentions for the jobs.
The tarot deck in my dream was the Golden Art Nouveau deck, and I am going to use it for today’s reading.
I’m not exactly sure the significations of my dream yet, except that apparently this deck really wanted to be used today, so much so, that it turned up in my dreams!
The Moon went into Cancer last night, so it’s not uncommon to have more lucid dreams when the Moon is in an intuitive water sign.
The Moon will be in Cancer on Monday and Tuesday, so you can expect a desire to concentrate on your home and family life at the beginning of the week. This energy is good for getting those projects around the house or that self-care routine started. Embrace this energy and use it to its full potential and establish those habits and routines that ground you, so that you are prepared to have a productive and successful week. I like this energy of the Moon to start the week, it feels natural and organic.
I found the saying,
“Instead of thinking about doing something, do something,”
from a little yellow book that I have, titled, 8,789 Words of Wisdom, by Barbara Ann Kipfer. This fits the transition from the Gemini Moon to the Cancer Moon energy so well—from thinking, to feeling and doing! Now, we can make some of those ideas happen!
The Sun ingresses into Virgo tonight at 11:15 PM ET, so happy birthday, Virgos! This is a time of year where we all learn how to be resourceful with what we have by being smart, working hard, and getting prepared for the change in season. Fall is coming, and that means that the darkness will be increasing and the nights will get longer. So, it’s important to be meticulous, rational, and crafty while getting things together in your life.
The Sun is in Virgo from August 22 to September 22, this year. We’ll be talking more about the Sun in Virgo throughout the season.
On Monday, Mercury in Virgo forms a trine to Pluto in Capricorn; what this means is that we may feel we have the power of persuasion on our side. We may easily be able to articulate dark or deep ideas, philosophies, or taboo subjects. People may be interested in having discussions about sex, drugs, or the occult. News about hidden secrets involving government, religious organizations, or financial establishments may be exposed or unearthed.
On Tuesday, the Sun in Virgo makes a sesquiquadrate to Chiron retrograde in Aries. This could bring up haunting memories, dreams, or uncomfortable thoughts. Chiron always represents that part of ourselves where we need healing, so as a collective, Chiron in Aries is healing our egos. This transit may shine a light on an area of yourself that you realize needs some tidying and organizing—so make a plan, write a list, and decide on a start date. You’ll feel like working on this, just maybe not immediately.
The card for the day is:
Okay, now, I know why I was called to this deck today!
In this card, we see a youthful man, walking on the edge of a cliff, and a white dog playing at his heels. He is holding a traveling stick with a pouch of his belongings tied to it, in one hand, and in the other, a white rose. He has sun disks drawn on his garb and a feather in his cap. The sun is shining, casting light upon distant mountain ranges in the background.
The Fool card represents taking risks and going on a new adventure as if you’ve never had a sucky one before— I love the quote by Mark Twain:
"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth."
I feel that this quote encompasses the spirit of The Fool card. Having the bravery and courage to venture out on the journey of life, even with fear nipping at your heels.
The Fool usually represents something new in our lives, such as new feelings, new health and well-being, new transformations, new boundaries, new vulnerabilities, new relationships, or new creative ideas--and taking a risk or a leap of faith to start one of them.
What new things are coming into your life? We would love to know! Please share in the comments if you feel comfortable. This is a supportive and loving community.
I hope this horoscope and card reading are helpful!
Until tomorrow,
