Vedic Astrology Weekly Forecast August 9 - 15

August 9 - 15: FIND AN EXITThe week ahead sees the Moon pivoting around the Sun in proximity with Ketu, yielding a total solar eclipse on Wednesday, August 12. This dramatic celestial event centers on the transition between the signs of Cancer and Leo, fusing this moment into a memorable opportunity to discover the roots of obstruction and to see a path forward out of what has been a very stuck situation.The Moon wanes into the new point at 26 degrees Cancer during the first half of the week and then waxes out of the eclipse zone during the second half of the week. Other than the Moon, no other planets shift signs. Saturn’s retrograde motion in Pisces will continue to alleviate some friction through mid-December. Jupiter’s exaltation celebration is on this week as Mercury, Sun, and Moon join Jupiter, giving a feeling of busy excitement that feels almost like a distraction from the real creative drive going on with Mars in Gemini and Venus in Virgo.DAILY KEYWORDS & NOTESSunday Aug 9: RECOVERY EFFORT.
