After the dense and tense atmosphere of last week, the sky settles down this week and shifts into a constructive tone. The backbone of the week is the Sun-Saturn trine, which reaches exactness on Friday, August 7. Formed between the Sun in Leo and Saturn in Aries, this fire trine joins enthusiasm with discipline, self-expression with responsibility, in a harmonious way. It is the most reliable aspect of the week for placing a piece of work on solid foundations, putting a long-term plan into practice, or reaching a mature understanding with an authority figure. Unlike last week's overreaching combust Jupiter, the Saturn trine carries a measured and realistic energy.
The second significant development of the week is Venus moving from Virgo into Libra on August 7. Venus leaves Virgo, where it has been in its fall for weeks, and enters its own home, Libra, growing markedly stronger. Love, aesthetics, harmony and the refinement in relationships regain a fluent and easy expression; the critical, distant tone of recent weeks softens. The Venus-Mars square continues through the week but keeps separating, so the friction in relationships eases. Mercury moves swiftly through Cancer and has left the retrograde period entirely behind; communication and decisions flow, and by the end of the week Mercury is about to enter Leo. Jupiter in Leo begins to move away from the Sun and out of the band of combustion, slowly gathering its strength. Saturn continues retrograde in Aries. The Moon passes from the Last Quarter toward a waning crescent through Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer, and the week moves in a closing mood, preparing for the Leo New Moon in the middle of next week.
