What’s happening astrologically this week?
Thank you Patsy Bennett for your wisdom ⚡️☀️♌️🦁💛
As we begin the August eclipse season, you may already be aware that some aspects of your life are coming to an end…And that new shoots of growth are forming.
If not, this week and next will bring increased awareness that certain areas of your life are changing, as one door closes and, inevitably, another opens.
The total eclipse of the sun will be on Thursday in the sign of Leo. It’s a good time to ask yourself where you derive most of your sense of belonging, self-esteem and direction.
You may even decide it’s time to take action in areas that have not moved in a way you would prefer them to.
If you find yourself low in self-confidence or motivation, the signal there is to find ways to improve both these aspects of yourself as both self-esteem and motivation enable you to take positive action.
And, while eclipses have a reputation for bringing changes we would rather not have to manage, this week’s planetary aspects indicate it’s a good time to time to invest in yourself, and also to discuss important topics and make necessary changes both financially and in your personal life.
A solar eclipse is always a new moon and so in the days following the eclipse, these are excellent days to take action while during this upcoming few days, to formulate your plans.
I do you hope you have a wonderful week. x
Pro tip: Thursday’s new moon will be a total solar eclipse, which has the diamond ring effect when the moon moves on from completely covering the sun (from our perspective). It will not be visible in Australia, but it will be visible in areas of northern Europe, Spain, northern Russia, the Arctic, and a partial eclipse will be visible in parts of the UK. (If you’re reading this from that part of the world, remember your eclipse glasses!)
