Venus leaves Virgo and will enter Libra on Sunday, August 15th at 11:27 pm CDT and stay here until September 10th. While we were more concerned with practical expressions of love when Venus was in Virgo, it is now time for us to concentrate on relating to others by being cooperative, persuasive, and charming.
Mercury Enters Virgo
Mercury will officially enter Virgo on Wednesday, August 11th at exactly 4:57 pm CDT and stay here until August 29th. Mercury is at home in Virgo, as it is one of the two signs it rules. It is time for us to concentrate on being more analytical and objective. Communicate with purpose and make sure you are properly informed.
Astrology for August 2021
Mars Enters Virgo
Mars leaves Leo and enters Virgo on Thursday, July 29th at precisely 3:32 pm CDT and stays here until September 14th. For now, we can expect our actions to be less expressive but more thoughtful and precise. Sometimes holding back and analyzing the situation is just as valid as bravely rushing into something.
Jupiter Re-enters Aquarius
Jupiter re-enters Aquarius on Wednesday, July 28th, as it continues along its retrograde journey. Jupiter will stay in this sign until December 28th, when it will re-enter Pisces. Jupiter will no longer be ruling over itself as it was in Pisces but will have to answer to Saturn now. Saturn is known for being strict and only rewarding genuine effort, so we will have to reconsider how much we are trying and how seriously we are taking matters in our lives.
Mercury Enters Leo
Mercury enters Leo on July 27th at precisely 8:12 pm CDT and will stay until August 11th. Fortunately, our thoughts and how we communicate should get less emotional, and we can finally put ourselves first more. However, we should be careful because this Leo season features a lot of opposing Aquarian energy.
Sun Enters Leo
The Sun enters Leo on July 22nd at exactly 9:26 am CDT. We finally get to leave behind the emotional energy of Cancer and spend the next four weeks in the Sun’s home sign of Leo, where it is most comfortable. Our priorities may be torn in two different directions over the next month, though, as Leo opposes some strong Aquarian energy, and it’s going to be up to us to figure out how to balance it all.
Venus Enters Virgo
Mercury Enters Cancer
Mercury finally gets out of Gemini, enters Cancer at exactly 3:35 pm CDT, and stays there until July 27th. Mercury has been in Gemini for the last 8 weeks, which is unusually long due to its retrograde. Many of us are mentally exhausted at this point due to overthinking and our minds racing. Begin to shift away from communicating in a way where you are just collecting information or focusing on the facts. We can actually care about others through our words by reaching out, asking thoughtful questions, and communicating empathy.
Astrology for July
Venus Enters Leo
On Saturday, June 26th, Venus will enter Leo at exactly 11:27 pm CDT and stay here until July 21st. This should be a relatively nice emotional shift as Venus leaves Cancer, helping us leave some of our emotional insecurities behind and move forward with purpose and determination. So embrace your loyal and charismatic qualities, act with more affection, and radiate warmth.
Full Moon in Capricorn
Mercury Direct in Gemini
Sun Enters Cancer
The Sun will leave Gemini and enter Cancer on Sunday, June 20th at exactly 10:32 pm CDT. This event also marks the Summer/Winter Solstice. Cancer is a sign ruled by the Moon, so we are often extra sensitive, and our moods rarely stay in one place. The Sun will be pretty busy during its time in Cancer which should help us work through some of the emotions we’ve put on hold.
Jupiter Retrograde 2021
On Sunday, June 20th Jupiter will station retrograde in Pisces. Jupiter’s retrograde will last until October 17th and will have Jupiter retrograde all through Pisces back into Aquarius. We must spend the next four months considering what deeper truths are important to us and which people in our lives feel similarly.
Mars Enters Leo
Mars officially enters Leo on Friday, June 11th at 8:34 am CDT. Mars will stay here for about two months until July 29th. We will start to shift our focus away from others and more towards ourselves. Start doing things that make you feel good! Put yourself out there more, and take some (calculated) risks! Embrace the part of you that is strong-willed and self-assured!
Solar Eclipse in Gemini
On Thursday, June 10th, there will be a Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Gemini. This is the continuation of a matter that came to light two weeks ago, around the time of the Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius. Gemini and Sagittarius are opposite each other in the zodiac, so there is a push and pull situation happening in our lives right now, and it is up to us to find a balance.
Venus Enters Cancer
Venus will leave Gemini and enter Cancer Wednesday, June 2nd at exactly 8:19 am CDT. Venus will stay in Cancer until June 26th, so we should spend the next three weeks focusing on nurturing what we care about and examining any insecurities that lead us to bond with undesirable people. Mercury will also be retrograde for most of Venus’ time in Cancer, so be careful if people from your past resurface; make sure you do not let them emotionally take advantage of you. Maintain those healthy boundaries while securing the relationships that build you up.
Astrology for June
Mercury Retrograde in Gemini
On Saturday, May 29th, Mercury will station retrograde in Gemini. Mercury will continue that motion until June 22nd, but things won’t be back to normal until June 30th, when Mercury gains more speed. As usual, avoid significant or important decisions during this time. Also, choose carefully and make any decisions cautiously.
