This helps us really get a grip on the shifting reality in front of us. What we need to see who are becoming. What is it that I was going to structure my life around? What's the goal? What's the vision? What's the value? What's the why? One thing that's been coming up a lot lately is the speed of change and the impact that has on our nervous system.
00:00:20:20 – 00:00:48:22
Unknown
It's really fundamentally basics. Well, sunrise, certain things that have felt stuff for years. Like literally within a matter of days. Getting unstuck. I'm shocked at how fast information is coming in from all directions. It still is about those kind of chop wood, carry water things at the end of the day. What we need to do is do enough today and do more tomorrow.
00:00:48:22 – 00:00:59:23
Unknown
So the law of compounding interest gradually take one step after the next. Luckily, it was born with this chart. This would be a wild card to live with.
00:00:59:23 – 00:01:10:02
Unknown
welcome back to the Astrology Have podcast. I'm so happy you all decided to join us today. I am thrilled to introduce astrologer author, and wellness coach
00:01:10:02 – 00:01:14:17
Unknown
Jennifer Rashi. Many of you have met her on our platform before.
00:01:14:18 – 00:01:45:17
Unknown
It's been a while though and so it's great to have Jennifer back. Jennifer is also one of our upcoming Inner Circle astrologers. She will be guiding all of you members for the lunar cycle that begins with Libra, the Libra New Moon, and 2025. She's also here to give us the month ahead forecast for August, including a lot of very tangible and practice guidance for how to actually work with these energies productively in your life.
00:01:45:19 – 00:02:22:04
Unknown

00:02:22:06 – 00:02:35:09
Unknown
So she's going to be bringing that perspective, all of those different modalities into to her guidance for us here in August. And Jennifer, welcome back to the Astrology Podcast. Hello,
00:02:35:09 – 00:02:38:01
Unknown
and thank you so much for having me. What an honor.
00:02:38:01 – 00:02:44:04
Unknown
Yes. All right. And she's just been giving me a little bit of, like, behind the scenes sneak peek into the energy of August.
00:02:44:04 – 00:02:59:04
Unknown
And it sounds like a rip roaring month with lots of very specific opportunities that we can take advantage of. So why don't we just begin with the overarching theme? Jennifer, if you had to give August a theme, what would it be? Yeah,
00:02:59:04 – 00:03:08:06
Unknown
I mean, I think August helps us really get a grip on the shifting reality in front of us, what we need to see who are becoming.
00:03:08:08 – 00:03:27:08
Unknown
As so many Astrologists have noticed, this summer is the dress rehearsal. We're in this long winded birth canal to some unknown future that we're consciously co-creating on one level and also inheriting on the next. And I think a lot of people are struggling with that thought of like, what is mine to do versus how do I arrive this way?
00:03:27:10 – 00:03:46:07
Unknown
That's going somewhere that I really can't control. And they think that this month is a month where we can actually start to see what our next chapter's going to be. I think that there are glimpses of clarity once it is of true, foresight into where we're going next, what we want to do, how we want to structure our ambition and our dream.
00:03:46:08 – 00:04:11:11
Unknown
The Saturn that you conjunction blending with the Uranian influence of out of the box thinking, radical change and the Pluto influence of really owning our power. You know, clearly we start the month in the Mercury retrograde. We have, Mars moving into Libra on the six on August. We have Venus in cancer squaring that Saturn, Neptune, Neptunian as the month begins.
00:04:11:11 – 00:04:34:17
Unknown
And I think that that's a good place to start because Venus, in cancer is what we love, how we love what we hold dear to us. Cancer, bringing home family, our sense of safety, security. In in in that square to Saturn. Discipline structure to Neptune thoughts, dreams, illusions. And I think that the month opens with a real strong call to, hey, what?
00:04:34:21 – 00:05:00:02
Unknown
What are my values? How are my values changing? How can I be true to my values? And you know, what am I stepping into this month? The month looks pretty fast despite the retrograde activity, especially as we get closer to that really refined following on the ninth. And I think that's that full moon in and of itself is just this glimpse into the crucible.
00:05:00:04 – 00:05:29:16
Unknown
There's a lot of locomotive energy, a lot of fast moving insights and change. There is isn't really birth in the chart. So it can be really heady, not grounded that some of the stuff I want to talk about. And then as we get through the month, especially moving through, the really important sextile we have this month, we're coming into this new moon in Virgo, at zero degrees.
00:05:29:16 – 00:05:55:04
Unknown
And I think that this new one in Virgo is really a fading moment where, it's square Uranus. It's has two in conjunct forming a yod. And I think that there's something coming up around the Virgo energy, around getting really focused, disciplined and structured, where either by choice, by force, we're going to have to really prioritize what we want to focus on.
00:05:55:06 – 00:06:16:16
Unknown
And then, of course, we leave the month and we're into eclipses. And so, things of any movement rocking and rolling, it's real fast. From my perspective, it's real fast. And it comes in phases, right? It starts out like, where am I? What is this? What's the big picture? What am I stepping into? What am I structuring?
00:06:16:18 – 00:06:42:04
Unknown
I think it gets really weird in a good way, like the Aquarius full moon is such an invitation to let the fruit fly. Fly required fly. And of course, we have this really powerful kite with the grand trying to Mars, Uranus and Pluto with, Neptune and Saturn sextile like Pluto in your at the top. So that's like really fast breakthroughs.
00:06:42:04 – 00:07:04:24
Unknown
Energy and mental in a lot of ways. And then as the month progresses and we move into Virgo season, it really rings in that Leo energy and has a focus on the details, the practicalities. Ready or not, here we come. And we are heading straight into Q4 of 2025. And it's been such a year.
00:07:06:04 – 00:07:47:15
Unknown
Okay. So what I'm hearing is a fast pace. The ability to or that either by necessity or by choice getting very clear on your values and what it is that you're stepping into as we move into that last part of the year and that, can you go through some of that, those major transits that the, the ones that you talked about, that we're going to be taking the month off and what they're enabling, because I also heard innovative breakthroughs and radical change, where am I?
00:07:47:15 – 00:08:07:01
Unknown
What am I stepping into? And just a new level of clarity around those kinds of questions, like, so for people who have felt kind of confused about that and have felt like, wow, the future is very unknown, I don't know where I'm going, but I feel in some way like I'm preparing for something. I don't know if any anyone else out there has had that feeling.
00:08:07:03 – 00:08:08:09
Unknown
But yeah, the
00:08:08:09 – 00:08:13:24
Unknown
waiting, learning, choosing, but without real certainty in our can. Wait,
00:08:13:24 – 00:08:17:19
Unknown
wait, say that again Jennifer. We're acquainting, acquainting,
00:08:17:19 – 00:08:32:09
Unknown
acquainting like familiarizing ourselves with what this feels like now. Because it's the stand in front for where we're going. It echoes to the past. It echoes to the future. So what is this? We're learning. Okay.
00:08:32:09 – 00:08:52:18
Unknown
How I feel about this, what's coming through? I mean, my clients are having pretty significant, almost immediate radical breakthroughs, and it's kind of intriguing how quickly people are, like, just having these massive. And I think that that's really up in the air. And and then of course, we're choosing what is it I'm going to live in devotion to.
00:08:52:18 – 00:09:15:01
Unknown
What is it that if I was going to structure my life around, what's the goal, what's the vision, what's the value, what's the why? And then, yeah. And I think that those moments of clarity are both real and fleeting. But to put it in the context, you know, just transits, we have this month, this full moon is so, so massive, so big.
00:09:15:01 – 00:09:43:16
Unknown
But it's not just the full moon. It's, this Lokomotiv Grand Trine, which is a kite. Uranus in Gemini at one degree trining. Pluto with Mars also at one degree of Libra. So Mars is coming into this equation and it's setting off Mars being action in Libra. It's also opposing Saturn in Neptune. And so, there's a little bit of friction here, but there's a lot of energy and it's fast.
00:09:43:16 – 00:10:08:10
Unknown
So things like, riding super helpful, right now, nervous system regulation getting grounded, but opening up the insight to what is it I want, where am I going? How am I going to get there? Taking an extraordinarily seriously because this is, you know, if 2025 is a dress rehearsal for 2026, August is potentially when we figure out what we're actually seeing for,
00:10:08:10 – 00:10:11:08
Unknown
you know, like, what is it that we're moving into?
00:10:11:09 – 00:10:29:08
Unknown
Like, what is the little black dress that we want to wear? First we're going to adorn it with all the different accouterment. But like, what is it that we're stepping into? And this is a real amazing time to be getting clear on those bigger pictures, especially as we ready ourselves for Virgo season
00:10:29:08 – 00:10:38:01
Unknown
one big that's been coming up a lot lately is this speed of change and the impact that that that has on our nervous system.
00:10:38:03 – 00:10:49:03
Unknown
Yes. And so what do you what are you telling clients in terms of how to regulate and work with the amount of radical change that's happening in our lives
00:10:49:03 – 00:11:01:14
Unknown
is so, you know, without going on a soapbox, I think a lot of this comes down to some burgeoning sobriety in your life. And I don't mean like necessarily eradicating substance aces.
00:11:01:15 – 00:11:21:18
Unknown
If that's in your constitution, fine. I just mean looking for the places where you who's your choice, where you're doing things compulsively and you're losing your choice. That's where these moments get evaporated, and that's where we fundamentally get off kilter. So that's a little bit like playing goalie. And then if we're going to go on offense right, and we're we're trying to really do some deeper work.
00:11:21:20 – 00:11:49:04
Unknown
I mean it's really fundamentally basics. Well sunrise sunlight in your eyes. Earth touch Earth especially this full moon. You know, touch Earth, get to get to some grass or find some natural place to be. Community. This is a family in Aquarius. Who are your people? Who can you co regulate with? Who brings your nervous system down? And then there's like a slow of nervous system, actual regulation tools.
00:11:49:04 – 00:12:10:24
Unknown
People can be using as practitioners that can help you with it there. So matic practice is one thing I've been using in my life for these last couple of years is, expressive writing, writing about different periods of my life. What it brought up habitually writing on the same topic from multiple days in a row. And that is Super Uranus in Gemini.
00:12:11:01 – 00:12:34:03
Unknown
And also looking out for this Mars and Libra opposite Saturn. Neptune, which to me looks like a pretty close conjunction. I know that we're we're holding that for February as the exact conjunction, but it's somebody was born with this chart and they came to me as a client. Right now I would be you know, these these aspects are so tight and they're so real.
00:12:34:06 – 00:12:57:13
Unknown
They're so pronounced that we are essentially in this birth canal of what we're being born to. But when we look at that Mars opposite Mars in Libra saying like, okay, it's about other people in relationship, Saturn in Aries saying it's about me and my purpose. So we're on that fundamental me versus me access point. And it's really about learning how to manage that which which relationships are bringing me up.
00:12:57:14 – 00:13:19:09
Unknown
Which relationships do I need some space around? How do I manage codependency? People pleasing? What are my boundaries? What kind of space do I need? I think downtime is not is underestimated. Nurse is regulation tool available to all of us. You know true downtime and so many people don't even know at this point how to take it because things are happening so fast.
00:13:19:09 – 00:13:47:07
Unknown
We're constantly connected to media, social media, regular media, and, right now. And like, we can do things way quicker than we ever could in that point of accelerations seemingly going faster, especially as we flirt with, naturally sextile to Uranus. I mean, we're stepping into a reality that I couldn't even imagine really, where we're going, but it's fundamentally changing so fast.
00:13:47:09 – 00:14:08:11
Unknown
There are other so really so real practical things we keep be doing around our essence. It's in magnesium, in supplements and in a blood sugar balanced diet. And, you know, staying mindful of what brings us way up but brings us way down and just trying to find that middle ground. Yeah.
00:14:08:11 – 00:15:33:02
00:15:33:02 – 00:15:39:13
Unknown
You also mentioned breakthroughs and that your clients are having you're noticing that clients are having breakthroughs.
00:15:39:13 – 00:16:14:18
Unknown
I've also noticed this, Jennifer, certain things that have felt stuck for years, you know, like different aspects of different visions, different, you know, things that I want to accomplish or other people in my life want to accomplish. Like literally within a matter of days, getting unstuck. And it just be like, whoa, I could have never imagined that there was a resolution to that particular obstacle, because I couldn't imagine the solution from where I was, because it just didn't exist in my frame of reference.
00:16:14:22 – 00:16:24:12
Unknown
So how many more of those are there? You know, regulatory transformation. Yes. You're mid regulatory transformation.
00:16:24:12 – 00:16:35:22
Unknown
And we are either choosing to go along with that and then structuring that. So it does it's not sand our hands that's needing but it's sustain them all right. And organizing our life
00:16:35:22 – 00:16:38:16
Unknown
small doable
00:16:38:16 – 00:16:41:24
Unknown
consistent I call it minimum viable effort.
00:16:41:24 – 00:17:03:15
Unknown
People call all sorts of things to actually make that, you know, we can have the revelation and we can free ourselves from certain things, but then we also have to live our life. And that's where it gets tricky, right? Like where does behavior change come in? Where do we really step into this new iteration of ourselves? And there's a ton of opportunities for that right now.
00:17:03:15 – 00:17:33:12
Unknown
There's so much opportunity. And I would argue that that is the point of this threshold between now and next summer is to start to clarify, crystallize those revelations because they're coming, ready or not. And then structuring routine with, commitment to self around that. But the trick is to not try to do it so fast. Like don't put a five year goal on a six month timeline and set yourself up for disappointment.
00:17:33:14 – 00:17:55:19
Unknown
We don't need to do it that fast. What we need to do is do enough today, rinse, repeat and do more tomorrow. So the law of compounding interest this idea that if we do a little today and we do a little tomorrow, little the next day, it feels really slow at first. But with these transits and where we're going into the latter part of this decade, they stack and they end up right.
00:17:55:19 – 00:18:16:22
Unknown
And I think that there's this existential burden of like, what do I do with all this energy? And I'm consciously creating my future? Is this the future I want? And it feels heavy, it feels intense, and it feels like a lot of responsibility. But if we can get really crystal clear, particularly at the start of August, on what it is that we really what are these revelations pointing us to?
00:18:16:22 – 00:18:28:13
Unknown
Who are we now that we've had the revelations, and who is this person that we are now structure for time? It's not the same as it was before. And,
00:18:28:15 – 00:18:49:17
Unknown
Clean it up. You know, just center that focus and start to live your life in accordance obediently with devotion to the person and the iteration of yourself that you're stepping into. But yeah, these revelations, I don't I mean, I'm shocked at how fast information is coming in from all directions, but psychically,
00:18:49:17 – 00:18:54:04
Unknown
you know, like a selection, deep self knowing, honoring.
00:18:54:04 – 00:19:06:03
Unknown
Well, breaking out, we're breaking free. We're stepping into new iterations of reality. Reality is bending and shaping in its own way. And we as humans are just calibrating to that. We're co regulating with a changing world. Right.
00:19:06:03 – 00:19:15:13
Unknown
It's so interesting what you're talking about because because with Saturn so involved it's still is about those kind of chop wood carry water things.
00:19:15:13 – 00:19:16:20
Unknown
At the end of the day it
00:19:16:20 – 00:19:19:10
Unknown
has the right like so we have these mind blowing
00:19:19:10 – 00:19:37:07
Unknown
experiences. We have these, you know, big breakthroughs and revelations. But then what I'm hearing you say is that then we have to like, actually ground them in our lives. When I think of, you know, a garden, like, we have to water them, fertilize them, tend to them, care for them, and that is our job.
00:19:37:07 – 00:19:44:01
Unknown
Like, that's our role here in order to bring these things to life in a meaningful way and
00:19:44:01 – 00:20:00:22
Unknown
marry it with the Neptunian dream, you know, and then blend it with the Pluto, the Pluto power, the plutonic power of wrath, fierce drive, determination, relentless devotion to the truth of all truth. Because the universe won't let you live in a bubble anymore.
00:20:00:22 – 00:20:24:16
Unknown
Like it's be okay and right. But it's not like when we start to move into like, ladder. Obvious temper. You know, I think that the more we resist the more we get blindsided and these hairpin turns whip us around instead of us feeling like we have more glide and ease with then and then the Uranian piece here as well, which is radical break through evolution, change revolution.
00:20:24:18 – 00:21:04:23
Unknown
And you know, when we marry that with the full context of where we're what we're stepping into, this devotion, you know, like Saturn is so many different things. He's the disciplinarian. He is the boundary enforcer. He can move around us when we don't want to be grounded. And it sounds like a lot of left who wants it. But ultimately, Saturn is a force of structure and discipline, devotion and I just thought that part of our sole purpose is to do our Saturn right, like we're honoring our sole purpose, and we're marrying that with the dream and all of our psychic capacities to not just do our hardest for ourselves, but to contribute that to an
00:21:04:23 – 00:21:26:21
Unknown
evolving world that we're on the version like, is it hell or is it, you know, like these complexities of where are we going in? Is it going to be okay? Fundamentally, everyone just wants to know, is it going to be okay? Can I pay my mortgage? Can I raise my kids? Can I trust that the environments I can influence, or can I trust that we're not going to war and let.
00:21:26:23 – 00:21:42:10
Unknown
Are we okay right now. Right. And if we're not okay right now, can we reach out for help? And if someone else is not okay right now, when we support that. But it's in little steps at a time because we don't know where we're going. And we do know that we're on the cusp of a lot changing world.
00:21:42:10 – 00:22:01:09
Unknown
Right? So I mean, things are changing so fast. And at the same time, we are humans in a body and we have children who are inheriting this world, and we cannot abandon that. Right. Leo season, don't abandon the children it to a reality that we checked out of because we're overwhelmed,
00:22:01:09 – 00:22:12:00
Unknown
you know? Yeah. Oh, so many thoughts to think.
00:22:12:02 – 00:22:38:16
Unknown
Do you believe that we chose to be here at this time? And do you also believe that this is one of the like, like, do you believe that the configuration of astrological events that are happening right now between, you know, 2020 to 2027, are the most significant in any of our lifetime in terms of, I think
00:22:38:16 – 00:22:43:20
Unknown
I believe that we were certainly born to be around, you know, and I think it's a divine assignment.
00:22:43:22 – 00:23:21:17
Unknown
I think that we are amid a change that is an epic in history that we don't understand yet. Well, we live life forward and understand it backwards. And that's both the gift of astrology and the, the, the perplexing quality of astrology is that we're always somewhat in the future, right, predicting what's going to come next. But a lot of them, we don't understand what happened until we look at it in retrospect and I think that this moment, right August 2025, we're at this threshold where we're not we're not where we weren't we weren't retrograde in some aspects that we will pick up pieces and finish chapters, certainly, but we are really launching into a new
00:23:21:17 – 00:23:43:20
Unknown
iteration of our existence, and we don't know what that is yet. And I think, of course, we're here right now. And of course, this is a monumental, huge shift. You know, we have these five tries between Uranus and Pluto. We have Neptune in this sextile to both as we as we go through this, I mean, this the forthcoming changes are, are it's a blending into a different reality.
00:23:43:20 – 00:24:06:17
Unknown
The advent of AI, longevity, science. There's so many amazing things happening that, of course we're here right now. I also fundamentally believe that we are the, those of us, those of us tuning in, those of us doing this work, we are the fire tenders, and we're preserving something sacred that could very easily get lost as this goes forward.
00:24:06:17 – 00:24:14:08
Unknown
And I'm not sure that we're the generation that experience heaven on earth. I think that we're the generation that endures
00:24:14:08 – 00:24:36:07
Unknown
keeping what's sacred secrets. And if you pray, pass it down to next generation so those secrets are safe for a time when the universe could potentially, this planet could potentially be in a more equal, numinous. Joyful place. I don't know if, if and what I'm open to it.
00:24:36:09 – 00:25:06:14
Unknown
Right. Like if we're consciously creating our universe, please. And simultaneously, you know, at the end of the day, it is really about resilience and understanding that we can and will get through this. And as we do that, we are co-creating a reality that in some ways exceeds any expectation we've ever had to what reality could be, and that comes with gifts and also the need to preserve our humanity and these sacred practices that have been with us for so long.
00:25:06:19 – 00:25:45:00
Unknown
Winter ceremony, observing the sky, knowing our right place in the universe at any moment, tending to our body, opening our hearts. We have this beautiful Jupiter Venus conjunction in in cancer. Like when a heart opener this month. And how glorious for us to be there and have that sweet, sweet, sweet aspect on the 12th. You know, the day that Mercury stations direct on the 11th, we have Saturn and Uranus making their second sextile, where we're reviewing what we've learned since early, you know, spring April ish.
00:25:45:02 – 00:26:03:11
Unknown
And we're integrating lessons through this very retrograde moment where we get to reflect, revisit and renew our sense of innovation and purpose. And I think that these are really sacred. Port Springs to that question.
00:26:03:11 – 00:26:13:05
Unknown
Yes, definitely. Definitely. And, you know, when you were talking earlier, it reminded me when you were saying, you know, are we going to be okay or are we going to be okay?
00:26:13:05 – 00:26:38:09
Unknown
And all the different questions that so many, so many of us are holding in our hearts as we're navigating such an unknown period of time now, reminds me of this, this moment that I had one time. I was just contemplating God and I was contemplating this idea of Is God good? And like fundamentally, is God good? And I heard, I don't know, are you?
00:26:38:11 – 00:27:15:17
Unknown
And I went, oh, okay, I get it. So it's not I'm not trying to sit here and say, I'm God. What I'm trying to say is that that are we okay? I don't know, are you and can you be and can you make it okay and can you seize the opportunity? And can you do continue to answer the call and the invitation, like you're saying, for those future generations, if we're the bridge generation, if we're the ones tending the fire, if we're the one making sure that there's a certain element of sacred that is carried forward, can we place our focus there?
00:27:15:17 – 00:27:42:21
Unknown
And can we can we actually do that? And that's our job. That's our job. So then it's like, I don't know, can you it's like, well, well yes okay, fine I can, yes I can. So I think that, you know, each of us, it seems like we're all making these decisions in real time as we just kind of bravely take one step after the next into this unknown territory.
00:27:42:23 – 00:28:00:23
Unknown
It is, such a gift and such a joy to be alive. It requires so much discipline right now to stay in the present moment and be available for those conversations. So am I. Okay, well, you know, what do I need to change? Because the answer is not in doomscrolling. And the answer is not instilling the space with mindless things.
00:28:00:23 – 00:28:04:10
Unknown
And the in disenfranchizing ourselves from our authentic,
00:28:04:10 – 00:28:26:23
Unknown
deepest sense of liberation, joy, power, purpose. Those are not the answers, right? So we have to actually create the space through the hard work of boundaries, routinely figuring out what grounds us. Everyone's different. Everyone has a different astrological constellation. Everyone has a different need. Everyone has different elemental configurations and their charts of what works for you.
00:28:26:23 – 00:28:48:21
Unknown
And how do you keep coming back to this moment, and can you consistently continue to open your heart in post? You know, appropriate worry, right? There's a lot to be appropriately worried about right now without catastrophizing and and just keeping on this long exhale that we're in, I think August is a chance for a big exhale. And then I think we catch our breath.
00:28:48:23 – 00:29:03:14
Unknown
And then as we prepare for September, especially with so many forthcoming changes, it's a it's just back to that focus of what do I, the Virgo influence as we prep for, eclipses. We
00:29:03:14 – 00:29:23:17
Unknown
know and I know we're really focused on August right now, but it sounds like August is almost like a preparation for eclipse season. And if we do bring this level of awareness and intentionality and staying as present as possible and taking care of our nervous system and asking those deep questions about, you know, what?
00:29:23:19 – 00:29:44:19
Unknown
What am I stepping into next? And how is that align with my values and all those good things that we are we are in a preparation mode for the eclipse season. Just briefly, what would you say is the flavor of these eclipses? It you know what? What are you seeing there? I mean,
00:29:44:19 – 00:29:52:21
Unknown
I mean, it's our second, new moon in Virgo, while the first one's at zero degrees, the last ones at 29 degrees.
00:29:52:23 – 00:30:20:12
Unknown
And I think that when we have Back-To-Back new moons in Virgo, you know what is Virgo? Virgo is to unto self, the Virgin, the the, the call to service. Right. And and I think we're clearing the path of the egoic mind that thinks that that is somehow not a valuable thing to be doing with our lives. Personally, I think that we're figuring out what are we in service to, what small little actions that we can take to make our world a better place.
00:30:20:18 – 00:30:40:15
Unknown
We can't control, you know, governments at the level of which, you know, we have all these world powers warring with one another. We can call our our people. All right. We can call our congressmen. But ultimately, you know, we still have a big role here, which is to be in service to one another and to figure out our what we're devoted to.
00:30:40:15 – 00:31:19:11
Unknown
I think that that is really the overarching theme and the end of the month, you know, it ends with Uranus Neptune sextile, which is a huge segway into this blending of innovation and spirituality. And I think that that actually resonates and reverberates as we come into our, you know, the next lunation in our next month. And I think that we're bringing with us this deep sense of, I'm having revelations, I'm getting clarity, I'm somewhat burdened and frustrated by reality for all reality reasons.
00:31:19:13 – 00:31:26:23
Unknown
I'm choosing not to escape, but I am properly visioning. And from that I'm distilling this 9 to 10 to the
00:31:26:23 – 00:31:28:06
Unknown
power.
00:31:28:06 – 00:31:44:19
Unknown
You've mentioned the full moon in August several times. What is making this such an impactful, solid? Well, it's a 16 degree Aquarius flown one and what's a day? August night.
00:31:44:19 – 00:31:47:15
Unknown
So we have August 9th. We have Mercury stationing direct.
00:31:47:15 – 00:32:25:19
Unknown
Shortly thereafter we have the second of three Saturn sextile Uranus. We have Mars opposite Saturn, Neptune. And we have this Jupiter Venus conjunction in cancer and then Mercury stationing direct shortly thereafter, in Leo at four degrees roughly and in a triumph to Saturn. So it's it's a lot of fire and air, a little bit of water, not a lot of earth.
00:32:26:00 – 00:32:37:04
Unknown
And so when we see this much air and we see this much fire, we know that it's fast thinking, high level energy with this fire coming in to amplify it, air and
00:32:37:04 – 00:32:39:23
Unknown
fire. It's exciting. This is an
00:32:39:23 – 00:33:02:16
Unknown
exciting fall. And then we have that sweet Jupiter Venus conjunction happening, and then Mars blending so powerfully with this uranus-pluto trine and forming this tight grand trine, with this Neptune, Saturn sextile and Uranus and Pluto, this is extraordinarily locomotive.
00:33:02:22 – 00:33:12:22
Unknown
This is extraordinarily insightful. This is high energy, high vibe. A little bit of frustration, not a lot of grounded energy.
00:33:12:22 – 00:33:32:12
Unknown
This is, you know, ecstatic dance, moon ceremonies, parties, groups. Yeah. The rings or it's deep introspection revelation. However, whatever. You know, if you want to be raucous or monastic, it's all available to you this full moon. But ultimately,
00:33:32:12 – 00:33:36:12
Unknown
there's something it was born with this chart.
00:33:36:14 – 00:33:41:10
Unknown
This would be a wild chart to live with and we all get to live it. This.
00:33:41:10 – 00:34:00:15
Unknown
Jennifer what else would you advise to our community in terms of just key things to think and to keep in mind and potentially practices or approaches that they can implement in their life to really harness the energies.
00:34:00:15 – 00:34:06:16
Unknown
Meditation, journaling, walking, basic movement.
00:34:06:16 – 00:34:32:21
Unknown
Right. Like if you want to be doing weights, please have at it. But we're just talking about basic movement. If you don't have mobility as an option, gentle stretching in a chair, right. Things where you're consciously opening up prayer is a big thing right now. You know, no matter what your spiritual beliefs are, the Serenity Prayer accepts the things that cannot change, the words that change things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
00:34:32:23 – 00:35:00:08
Unknown
Structured discipline ritual, if that's your calling. Like, I'll certainly be doing ritual around this, asking for old patterns to be released as we 17 iterations visioning exercises. Dialoging. With your former self. You know, if this if this decade thus far taught me x, Y, and z, what did I learn? How am I integrating that information right now?
00:35:00:10 – 00:35:20:08
Unknown
And if everything goes as well as it could, what happens from this place now? Right. And I think that asking smart, mindful questions is a really great way, certainly through writing. You know, I just really recommend journaling right now. Whether you love it or not, you can you can get a lot done in it, even if you don't love it.
00:35:20:08 – 00:35:30:13
Unknown
Right? Like the idea of the thoughts that words will come, focusing on ways to honor both your inner child. What did it get? What didn't it get? And the children and the light
00:35:30:13 – 00:35:43:05
Unknown
is a is a big call right now. Anything else you want to leave us with? Any other transits that you feel? We we we didn't cover in a way that they need to be covered?
00:35:43:05 – 00:36:08:07
Unknown
I will say that it's important to consider some that, you know, really take this time. This one is it looking at it all together to. Articulate what you want thus far this year, if not this decade, as I said and like previous iteration and where do I really want to be come the end of this year?
00:36:08:09 – 00:36:32:20
Unknown
Because all combined we're looking at, the sweep of long winded transits that are sharing us, you know, the many, many illuminations forward. And they're all powerful in their own right. And they're particularly powerful in the compliances we see now. And they're going to evolve in varying degrees, over a Segway of time that is quite long ahead of us.
00:36:32:22 – 00:36:39:02
Unknown
And just to hammer the point that it's we're in the choice. We're in the choice. Not like right now.
00:36:39:02 – 00:36:41:22
Unknown
Yet, given all of this, what are you
00:36:41:22 – 00:36:51:16
Unknown
understanding about yourself and how do you want to step into this next iteration of your understanding of what you need and how you're going to care for oneself and others? You know,
00:36:51:16 – 00:36:53:18
Unknown
Jennifer, thank you so much.
00:36:53:18 – 00:37:22:23
Unknown
This has been an amazing coverage of August. It sounds like a very, very dynamic, catapulting kind of month. And I really look forward to being able to be with you in the inner circle. What are you what are you going to teach for your Libra lunation? Saturn. We're talking about Saturn. Nice myths, ways to work which structure dreams, hopes, desires, the practicality of honoring oneself.
00:37:22:23 – 00:37:42:01
Unknown
But ultimately the legacy of Saturn for all of I love it. Okay, looking forward to that. Just thank you everybody so much for being here. Have a great month ahead. I look forward to connecting with you on the next episode. Thank you, as always, for making astrology a part of your life. See you soon.
