Hidden Insights projects a week where the only thing to expect is the unexpected. Unexpected changes, for both good and bad, are promised as Uranus stations retrograde, and Jupiter stations direct. These transits are enhanced by a Full Moon, conjunction between the Sun and Venus, as well as a square from Mercury to Uranus.
As Uranus stations retrograde in Taurus, the world’s sense of security may be questioned, and marks a period where financial markets will quickly rise and quickly fall. On a personal level it may be difficult for many to hold on to their money, while also experiencing sporadic boosts of income. From now until the 10 January 2020 the revolutionary and unpredictable energy of Uranus is in review. We must do our best to avoid holding onto anything that we think will bring us security, as Uranus may ask that we give it away. Fortunately, this is usually so Uranus can make improvements in our lives, especially if they relate to our sense of freedom.
Jupiter returns to its normal motion this week just as Uranus stations retrograde. This bring a return to luck and carefree happiness. We will be inspired to spend more time participating in enjoying activities that we enjoy. Essentially, it is time to let lose, let go, and have fun. During the time that Jupiter spent in retrograde, we were able to review our values in life and explore existential themes. Ask yourself what you have learned about your personal ethics and moral compass since April, so that you can make a positive change in your approach to others, faith, and religion.
As the week comes to an end, the square between Mercury and Uranus could bring unexpected news and shocking statements on Friday, 16 August and Saturday, 17 August. While this is not necessarily uncommon in today’s political landscape, these days should be closely watched. The personal effects of this transit may cause an argument or two, as slips of the tongue will likely lead a number of people in hot water. It would be best to be as reserved as possible this weekend.
Astro Homework
This week’s homework assignment focuses on the energy of the Full Moon in Aquarius. It will oppose Venus, which can bring love and magick into our lives.
Your assignment this week is to use the Full Moon’s energy to revitalize love in your life. This can be self-love, love of work you do, romantic love, or love of family and friends.
The colour pink is known to vibrate with pure love, while red vibrates with passionate love. Choose a candle colour that is appropriate, and petition the Moon to help bring love back into your life, or fortify the love that you currently have.
Aries (21 March — 20 April)
A dramatic shift in your personal finances comes this week, Aries, and you may need to rework your budget to help care for or assist a younger member of your family. Fortunately, Mercury moves into the most creative sector of your chart, which allows you to access unusual and innovative ways to solve problems. As Jupiter stations direct in your ninth house, the planet of luck brings fortune to legal affairs, travel, and higher education. Many born under the sign of the ram will see these themes become important and accessible. This is a great time to make a big move, take a long trip, and initiate successful legal endeavours. Be cautious on Friday, as a conversation will likely catch you off guard. Try to remain calm, and avoid showing your aggressive side.
