Weekly Starcodes—Planetary Aspect Interpretations & Predictions |
Expect to switch gears this week. Last night’s lunar eclipse echoed the solar eclipse a few weeks ago, and eclipses echo for weeks before and after their event. The time between eclipses ripens change; it can unblock blocked energy, break dams, open up channels, eclipse some chapters and initiate new ones. If the eclipses don't hit our chart directly, we can see them unfold in the news but may have a quiet week.
Eclipses unstick stuck energy; they work like astrological acupuncture. Some eclipse-induced changes will be bracing and help us evolve, breakthroughs, and changes that we would never ask for but really need. Some will just be painful releases, like saying goodbye to a friend or archetype, the lethal breaking of dams in Nepal, or fires that ended neighborhoods in the Northwest. We cannot soft-pedal these tumultuous shifts in our reality, but we can ask what could help, what do we learn from them, what can we do about climate change in the future, and what memories we treasure close to our heart.
Last night's lunar eclipse, between the Sun and Mercury conjunct in intelligence-inducing Virgo opposed the full Moon at 4° Pisces, was extra raw and effective as it was stimulated by a square to electrifying Uranus in Gemini, which can act like a cosmic clutch and shift our gears.
These restless aspects can help prepare for a new semester, job, or move. They can make it easier to start a new path, or they can kick us down the stairs and into a path we did not expect. Stay flexible this week, watch for last-minute schedule changes, a shocking revelation, or a sudden lovely insight, and thoughtfully incorporate them into the new plans.

Venus, now in friendly and fair Libra, adds kindness and offers a moment to appreciate the beauty of a turning leaf, not just mourn the changing of the seasons. Rudeness will really grate on our nerves, but this Venus can infuse polite diplomacy to ease our way. We are all in this together.
We also have to put on our grown-up shoes, tend our responsibilities and deal with a few frustrating situations as self-protective Mars in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries. This can add muscle and engineering to our work but could instigate tension between generational perspectives this weekend. If so, try to learn from one another with respect.
We could also get hopeful hints in the big picture as Jupiter trines Saturn and can help strange allies work together. We could see a loosening up of the extremes across the aisle and find a few specific causes to create collaboration.
The weekend starts out under a soft and perceptive Pisces Moon. Use Friday and Saturday to assess what's needed for the changing of the seasons, feel the wheel of time turning.
The Moon heads into Aries on Saturday night and brings bursts of energy and determination. Tuesday and Wednesday an earthy Taurus Moon with that Mars- Saturn square asks us for a consistent effort towards the long haul. The Moon in Gemini at the end of the week helps us turn a corner, meet new people, and create positive mischief for Labor Day weekend ahead.
Friday, August 28: We could feel like the Princess with the pea, showing our sensitivity by being annoyed by some small thing under this nervy and mutable mood after last night’s Full Moon-Lunar eclipse. Check in with people; this has been a rough eclipse season, full of endings and beginnings and it will feel good to feel our posse cares. Under this ambient nervy intelligence our mind can change repeatedly. Consider all possibilities but instead of moving the piano ten times, first imagine it, sketch it, in all the places and then make the move. Run with that metaphor as Mercury and the Sun in nervy Virgo square shifting Uranus under a sensitive Pisces Moon. Take gentle care of one another.
Mercury square Uranus 1:24 AM MDT, Moon trine Mars, 10:13 AM Sun square Uranus 4:18 PM.
Saturday, August 29: If feeling overwhelmed this morning, let’s take needed time off to just integrate and help our nervous system reset. There may be lots of work on the table, many small and important projects that need follow-through, but it will work best to take the time to do so mindfully rather than exhaust ourselves. Ask what nourishes, what refills the wells. If a new argument arises, give it some space to ascertain whether it's a worthy argument or leftover fried nerves; let dust settle before responding. This will be even more essential later on as the energy picks when the Moon enters feisty Aries and brings both a reactive, even twitchy undertone but also fresh enterprise and potential adventure. Just be careful what sparks are lit.
Moon enters Aries at 8:37 PM MDT
Sunday, August 30: A change of scenery or break in routine is useful this morning. Share dreams and ideas about the future. Don't try to make everyone happy, instead let each person process as they need. Don’t try to control one another out of a low-level anxiety—tend the source instead. Dream big midday. Watch for tension tonight around dinner time as the Moon squares Mars, we're just feeling willful. Redirect tension into action. Tonight, we can feel older than we are as the Moon conjunct Saturn but can also ponder how maturity and vibrancy work together.
Moon sextile Pluto 1:00 AM MDT, Moon conjunct Neptune 3:19 AM, Moon sextile Uranus 6:49 AM, Moon square Mars 738 PM, Moon trine Jupiter 8:54 PM, Moon conjunct Saturn 9:17 PM.

Monday, August 31: Notice the fine line between complaining and improving, see what needs to be done and fix it rather than complain; write a senator, do the exercise, fix the door handle. Enthusiasm and personal discipline can collaborate. On a bigger scale, envision opposing parties working together on some hot topic, a shared common ground, as Jupiter trines Saturn, political right and left wings working respectfully together so we can actually fly this bird forward. It's hard to even imagine that now, so contemplate what that world would look like.
Moon opposed Venus 1:46 PM MDT, Jupiter trine Saturn 4:16 PM.
Tuesday, September 1: The planets ask us to settle down, grow up, and tend long-range responsibilities as Mars squares Saturn under a stabilizing, stubborn, Taurus Moon. We may not be able to do what we want because some longer-range responsibility asks us to stay on target. Willful immaturity bucks up against traditional wisdom in the headlines, but we don’t have to channel that here at home; we can open the flow between the generations instead. Speak with vigor, not with hostility. Later on, our minds speed up and we could be asked to make some clear near-surgical decision or edit, or to articulate our point clearly as Mercury sextiles Mars. Strategic organization furthers.
Moon enters Taurus 2:01 AM MDT, Mars squares Saturn 3:58 AM, Mercury sextile Mars 7:20 AM, Moon square Pluto 8:07 AM, Moon trine Sun 6:42 PM.
Wednesday, September 2: A day for planning and follow-through rather than new projects, engage the cooking, packing, and doing of life. Bond over doing simple chores together. Our practical chores can be a meditation that stabilizes moods and acts as a prayer for harmony in our life. Keep the pace steady, pushing will just cause tension and won't speed things up; the tortoise wins this race.
Moon square Jupiter 2:18 AM, Moon sextile Mars 2:47 AM, Moon trine Mercury 4:46 AM.
Thursday, September 3: Change it up, initiate a process and communicate what’s going to happen as the Moon enters Gemini, trines Pluto, and conjunct Uranus. Work on some major or minor metamorphoses that began last weekend, whether that's packing, moving, gardening, or changing the senate. Engage important conversations, mediate, and be willing to negotiate with muscles; cheerfully hold the ground when needed. Our nerves and digestion may need support, but we’ll feel better, more connected, once we've discussed the state of our world. Prepare for good mischief this Labor Day weekend and for new beginnings in the weeks beyond.
Moon enters Gemini 5:47 AM MDT, Moon trine Pluto 11:40 AM, Moon sextile Neptune 11:54 AM, Moon conjunct Uranus 3:26 PM.
