Hey, howdy and welcome to your weekly astro weather for August 31-September 6 2026. This week’s pic was near the fullest part of Thursday’s Lunar Eclipse, taken by my daughter and son-in-law…so thanks Cass and Bill for permission to use! It’s a beaut! And for the first time in a long time I can say that we have a fairly decent looking week on tap…once we get past an initial “bump” on Monday and Tuesday, anyway. And just in time…it’s been pretty rough, this eclipse season. Big names checking out, big world events popping off. Madness! But here we are, nothing to do but carry on. Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune + Saturn in Aries continue on their merry retrograde ways and Luna rocks Aries, calms down in Ta**us, breezes thru Gemini, and ends the week decidedly quieter at home in Cancer. And in a little nod to numerology, this week is brought to you by the Karmic number 13!
Monday starts the week with opportunity to check in on personal freedom and independence vs social causes and harmonizing in relationships. And the whole 13 thing that I referenced shows up right away because we have 4 important planetary energies congregating there: Mercury-rational/logical thinking + communication + movement; Mars-ever seeking to “do”, including self-defense and assertion, as well as aggression; Jupiter-expansion in general, as well as development, growth, and evolution of beliefs, principles, and related practices; and Saturn-integration, structure, organization, challenges, lessons…so Monday and Tuesday for sure find all the interplay between these things. The urge to expand and to think up new ways of being is strong, but so is the frustration of not getting what we want and where we want to be as quickly as we may want it! There is an awful lot of fire so there just isn’t a lot of likelihood that cooler heads will prevail. Rational/logical processes mix with emotional intelligence. Which one wins is in the minds and hearts of the beholder. I anticipate some verbal sparring, flaring tempers, maybe raw emotions, where some will know just the right things to say to elicit aggressive, possibly hurt responses. Best case, bright new ideas and solutions might be achieved that benefit some social causes. Monday and the earlier part of Tuesday just feel kind of onerous but if we can hang in there, and maybe not burn s**t to the ground, by Tuesday afternoon the mood lightens considerably.
Wednesday might bring some subtle mea culpa’s and grudging backpedals into trying to help out, to maybe hustle to make someone’s day. Kinder actions, more helpful words.
Thursday afternoon could bring some shake ups in the news and could deliver unexpected ideas or words. There could even be some funny in the air. There is a buzzy, antsy energy that will extend right into Friday. I mean, there is a chance Friday afternoon for critical words or some “oversharing” and/or gossip. I’d offer this one little PSA…most peeps don’t appreciate or might be embarrassed by being corrected so maybe this one day, if no one is at risk of getting hurt, whether physically or professionally, consider letting little missteps and wrongly used words slide. (I know…how very “How to win friends & influence people” of me! Haha!)
On Saturday, the Sun rolls over that sensitive 13° point, which carries the potential for follow up with regard to events, situations, and circumstances that were a thing earlier in the week but other than that we just kinda coast out of this one. And with that, I thank you-as always, for stopping by and checking out my efforts here. I can certainly relate to the frustration of things not happening as quickly as we may like but clean up on my island and in my bunker continue. Thanks to all who have checked in with me in that regard! I appreciate the caring and concern. And in a quick nod to Dolly, “I will always love you”, haha. Ya’all keep coming back and I will keep banging these out.
