EP 177: Mercury stations direct + a return to routine

from Essential Astrocast · host Veronica Perretti

After some super intense astrology earlier in August, we finally get to enjoy some calm. Thankfully, Mercury stations direct on August 28th and hopefully brings some clarity and decisiveness. It's Virgo season, and the Sun in this discerning and thoughtful part of the sky encourages us to get back to the rituals and routines that sustain us. It's a calm week in the heavens, but Venus is in conversations with Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto - all the outer planets. It's a good time to get clear with your boundaries and expectations in your relationships, and maybe with your money and your values too. As this is the final week of the moon cycle, it's important to give yourself space to rest and repair. Next week will kick off with a New Moon in Virgo and a new opportunity to manifest some new rituals and routines that will take you through the end of the year.Join my email community.Want to say thank you for this episode?
