Good morning, friends!
This is the last full week where I will only be posting Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays because I am getting 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 have decided to let 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.
Please check out the new zodiac patches designed by my daughter in our family Etsy shop: Metaphysical Flamingo! Coming soon are mugs, water bottles, as well as a cool t-shirt and hoodie with the designs! I’ll let you know when I list them.
And don’t forget to take advantage of my New Client Two Reading Special! Two readings: a Natal and a Solar return chart, at a discounted price for my new clients!

Okay, now let’s get into…the astrology.
Today’s newsletter is a bit of a multi-media experience. Links to two songs by Brooke Medicine Eagle from her album, A Gift of Song, are included as they came to me this morning, and I would like to share them with you. Due to copyright law, I can’t include them in the audio, but I encourage you to stop the audio and listen to the songs when I share them.
Let’s start with the Moon…
The Moon will move into Leo on Wednesday at 9:08 AM ET, so we could all wake up like cats—needing a good stretch, taking a big yawn, or suddenly being woken up by a cucumber we thought was a snake! Aren’t cats hilarious? And so is the Leo Moon energy—it wants to have fun, forget about the chores, and do something creative! I never want to clean my house when the Moon is in Leo, and so I am really glad that this week started with the Cardinal Cancer energy instead.
On Wednesday and Thursday, there may be that feeling of wanting to enjoy life and have some good times, but this phase of the moon, called the Balsamic phase, where the moon is going dark as it approaches the new moon, on August 27, is a time of release and letting go.
So, even though the Leo energy wants to shine and have fun, we may be feeling moodier than usual as we let go of things in our lives. The last couple of days have been especially emotional for a lot of people. The Cancer Moon energy may have brought up a lot of deep feelings, especially since the Cancer moon made a trine to Neptune, an opposition to Pluto, and a sextile to Mercury—who was making an opposition to Neptune, and a trine to Pluto itself—so, we have this earthy, watery energy mixing Neptune, Pluto, Mercury, and the Moon together—what this says to me, is that for a lot of people, the flood gates of emotions and deep feelings was opened and allowed to flow--couple all of that with this Balsamic moon phase and the last couple of days could have been really hard, yet ultimately really healing.
On Wednesday, the Moon will trine Jupiter, so we need to believe that things will get better.
Uranus in Taurus stations retrograde on Wednesday, so be prepared for things to turn around, suddenly. With the dispositor of Uranus, being Venus, this is going to be fast changes to our relationships and our money situations. Depending upon your own natal chart and where this is happening for you, this could bring about changes that you’ve been looking forward to or changes that knock you off your feet.
Venus in Leo will make a trine to Chiron retrograde in Aries, so there could be a recognition of the positive relationships in your life that are sustainable and supportive.
Mercury is in the last degrees of Virgo on Wednesday and I feel like this energy mixed with the Venus in Leo energy feels like we are leaving our unique signature on things, bringing out what we see in our hearts or minds with a performative flare that makes people think.
By Thursday, Venus will make a square to the North Node in Taurus, so what we value in terms of our relationships, love, and finances in our lives could have a wake-up call. It could be very apparent who those positive supportive relationships are with, and who they are not. There could be some decisions that need to be made about them around this time, especially with the New Moon that is coming with a square to Mars in Gemini—big relationship choices coming up—and depending upon where the Mars in Gemini transit is happening in your Natal chart, will tell you what those choices are going to be about. Mars will be in Gemini until March 25, 2023, so this is a big deal.
Mercury ingresses into Libra at 9:02 ET on Thursday night. Mercury in Libra brings out our more diplomatic, artistic, and social sides. We want to talk with people over dinner, go to the movies, or out to see an art show with friends. The next couple of weeks before Mercury goes retrograde could feel a little more social than usual.
The Soul card for the day is:
To me, this card looks like an angel coming out of a horse.
While looking at, and meditating on this card, the song, Winged Ones Come, by Brooke Medicine Eagle came into my mind and is my interpretation for this card. You can listen to this song on YouTube by clicking on the video below.
The lyrics are:
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come to me
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come to me
Live in me, Lift my body, Live in me, Lift my body Now
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones join with me
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones join with me
Blend with me, Clear my seeing, Blend with me, Clear my seeing now
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones sing through me
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones sing through me
Sing through me, peaceful night, Sing through me, joy and light now
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones fly in me
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones fly in me
Birds of light, Help me take flight, Birds of light, Help me take flight now
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones come to me
Live in me, Lift my body
Blend with me, Clear my seeing
Sing through me, peaceful night
Birds of light, Help me take flight now
Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones Come, Winged Ones come to me
The song that I would like to end the newsletter with today, also by Brooke Medicine Eagle, is called the Traveling song, and she says, “through this song, Spirit calls you to wholeness.”
May the beautiful harmonies of this song accompany you today and tomorrow and through this whole Balsamic Moon phase, as we love, let go, and move forward.
I hope you enjoyed today’s multi-media experience and that the horoscope and card reading are helpful! Let me know in the comments which song you liked the best.
Until Friday,
AstroMommy
