Astrological Insights: August 26 - September 1, 2024
A Virgo- and Uranus-Inspired Approach to This Week's Reflections (plus a sneak peek of my new AstroSalon offerings)
With Uranus, the planet that invites us to shake things up, stationing retrograde this coming Sunday, I thought I’d do something different this week. I’m going to take a tact I usually don’t, one that is also reflective of the Sun now being in honor-simplicity and focus-on-the-details Virgo.
I’m going to note each of the astrology highlights of the week and share a sentence for each one, rather than offering a broad vision as I usually do.
Creating from an orientation of restraint—as Virgo often inspires us to do—has upsides and downsides, just like everything does. The upside is that it can be very efficient and remind us that the macro can be embedded within the pearl of the micro. The downside is that it may not address wholeness and that we encounter a risk of losing nuance.
Yet, when we invoke the Virgo orientation of wanting to be of service and doing the best we can at any moment, it can help us sidestep the paralysis that comes from a desire for perfection that this sign also often yields.
In honor of that, here is one inspiration for each of the major alignments that comprise the astrological landscape this week.
August 27: Venus/Uranus Trine
Discover more freedom in a relationship.
August 28: Mercury Stations Direct (in Leo)
Reflect on ways to infuse more creative flair into your communications.
August 28: Venus/Neptune Opposition
Be aware of the projections you place upon others.
August 29: Venus enters Libra
Consider how camaraderie and collaborations enhance your life.
August 29: Venus/Pluto Trine
Pursue a deeper understanding of what it means to love.
September 1: Uranus Stations Retrograde (in Taurus)
Practice adaptability, be innovative, and stay bouncy.
September 1: Pluto r/enters Capricorn (through November 19)
Focus on what resides at the root of commitment, loyalty, and integrity.

Introducing Stellar Access: The Seasonal AstroSalons - Autumn 2024
For the past few years, I’ve been working on designing a program to help you connect with the wisdom of astrology in both a practical and soulful way. I wanted to create an offering that is inspiring and informative as well as one that assists you in developing your own intuitive relationship with knowing how to plan your personal, creative, and professional pursuits.
From this desire, my new program—Stellar Access: The Seasonal AstroSalons— emerged. It includes live-streamed gatherings, bespoke-for-the-moment reflection questions and self-care strategies, discounts on my 1:1 sessions, and the opportunity to get a personalized astrology recording.
And while it’s still Mercury Retrograde, I didn’t want to delay in sharing this with you, as the first three-month program launches next month. So, in addition to giving you a sneak peek, I’m also offering savings for you if you sign up by September 3.
Just click below to read more about the program’s offering and how to access the discount.
If you appreciate my weekly astrological insights, I promise that you will find the Seasonal AstroSalons will serve as an even more informative and inspiring resource to help you navigate your life with more awareness, clarity, and confidence.
