The Planets This Week: August 6, 2018

The cosmic headline of the week is the intense Solar Eclipse in Leo! We also have love planet Venus moving into Libra and unpredictable Uranus turning retrograde in Taurus.

The third Solar Eclipse of 2018 happens on August 11th with the Sun at nearly 19 degrees Leo. Leo calls us to fulfill our heart’s desires and fully express who we are as individuals, without shame and without a second thought. We are to celebrate what makes us all special. The eclipse creates a sense of urgency to do this, though little with Leo feels urgent — more like dramatic.

Also, this week, love planet Venus moves into Libra where it will be until September 9th. Under the influence of Venus in Libra your social life could be in full swing. Gracious manners come naturally to you now, and your charms are irresistible.

If you’re single, you may long to be in partnership, and might even compromise your ideals, preferring to be coupled up than to be alone. You’re also more likely to see the good in everyone, so you’re less critical of potential mates. If you’re in a relationship, this can be a sweet time for rekindling the romance and bringing out the best in each other.

Uranus in Taurus will turn retrograde on Tuesday and will shake up our ideas of money, property, and values, possibly transforming these things, whether we want it or not. Uranus is the planet of unpredictability and will be in Taurus for the next seven years. What make it more intense right now is that it is forming a tense square to angry Mars which is currently retrograde!

Tune in on Monday 6pm PT/9pm ET to find out more…
