Weekly Astrology Forecast: August 17 - 23, 2020

Welcome to your astrology forecast for the week of August 17 - August 23 beautiful souls!

This week’s astrology overview has some big and exciting events. If you’ve felt like the energy this month has been a little too intense, this is the week in August 2020 astrology where you’ll start to feel more grounded.

We’ve had a lot of Fire this month with the Sun and Mercury having spent time in Leo. That fire was made even more intense because of Uranus moving retrograde. Uranus joined many other planets that were already in retrograde when this happened!

Sun in Virgo Calms Us Down

Now we can start to see where everything might be going, and be able to plan for the future in a more steady and practical way. The Sun moves into Virgo this week on Saturday, bringing some much needed Earth energy to our psyche. We will feel like we have a more firm grasp on things.

This week, it’s as if the Universe is letting us breathe a sigh of relief as the pressure starts to ease up. We aren’t completely out of the weeds yet though, as Mars will be moving retrograde next month, but as we enter into the fall, more planets will move direct, and things will start to even out.

Capture the New Moon Magic

Tuesday is a New Moon in the Fire sign of Leo, and this day will have you feeling optimistic about starting new things. This could instigate big life changes as the confident and expansive Leo energy pushes us to see new possibilities, and really feel our full potential.

This is a great time to check in with how you’re using your personal passions in your career, or to ask the Universe to reveal how you could do that more. Perhaps you’ll come up with a creative new approach or try something completely new in this cycle. Write down what you want to work towards and you’ll likely see developments at the time of the Full Moon on September 2, 2020.

Time to Plan With Mercury

On Wednesday, Mercury, the planet that rules thinking and communication, moves into Virgo, helping us start to feel more organized and grounded. All those big ideas you had while Mercury was in Leo can now be put into action with the busy-body Virgo energy.

This week is a great time to pull out your calendar and map out your plan of attack to get where your fearless heart wants to go the most.

Overall, you’ll feel more optimistic and sure of yourself. You may want to use the Virgo vibes to take a look at self-care and make some minor adjustments to help give you the best possible energy. Be careful not to try to solve every single problem all once as Virgo likes to fixate on fixing! Let Virgo season be a time of steady progress and healthy habits.
