Category: Transits

This is a month without great aspects between the transiting planets. Most notably, we have all the social (Jupiter and Saturn) and transpersonal (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) planets in retrograde motion. This configuration indicates that we are going through a review period at a collective level, reviving situations that we have already seen in recent months, but without great news. August it’s a time where we deal with our personal reality.

August 2022 Most important transits

August 4, 2022 – Mercury in Virgo

In August, our mental energy puts the emphasis on observing and identifying what needs improvement. This is a pragmatic month and we dedicate ourselves to everyday life with greater attention.

For Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus, Scorpio, and Cancer this is a good month to put an order in daily practical matters and you can experience clarity and mental serenity.

For Gemini, Sagittarius, and Pisces, situations may occur where we feel criticized for our “lack of attention”. Paying attention to details can be beneficial at this time.

August 11, 2022 – Venus in Leo

When Venus transits Leo it makes us want to have a good time, laugh, play and enjoy life. We look for sunlight and appreciate what makes us feel creative.

For Leo, Sagittarius, Aries, Libra, and Gemini, this month comes with pleasant moments, happiness, and satisfaction.

For Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus, it is a good time to observe the reluctance to accept that life also includes joy for its own sake. And allow, for this time, the sunlight to be enough to make you smile.

August 11, 2022 – Full Moon in Aquarius – 19 degrees 21′

This is a good time to objectively observe the results of the plans we started 6 months ago. The Full Moon in Aquarius provides the necessary emotional detachment to contemplate our subjective reality in a more “scientific” way. What are the plans for the future that we need to set aside because they are no longer relevant? How satisfied are we with respect to our personal aspirations? The light of the Full Moon in Aquarius illuminates the ideological patterns that we follow, the emotional nourishment that we receive from the friendships and groups with which we share ideals. It also allows us to strongly feel to what extent we feel we belong (or not) to our social circle. This allows us to explore what we really need to feel “at home”.

August 20, 2022 – Mars in Gemini

The transit of Mars in Gemins puts the emphasis on movement, letting ourselves be carried away by curiosity and the desire to socialize. Action is taken through the use of words. We seek information and disseminate it with passion. Debate time.

For Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Leo and Aries, the action becomes more agile thanks to great flexibility and speed. It’s a good time to asset ourselves verbally.

For Virgo, Pisces and Sagittarius, this is a month of great dispersion where it may be difficult to act towards a certain goal, creating some frustration. It is good to use this month to inform yourself and ask questions instead of taking action.

August 22, 2022 – Sun in Virgo

Happy birthday, Virgos!

August 24, 2022 – Uranus Retrograde in Taurus – 18 degrees 55′

Uranus is retrograde again in Taurus and will remain so for the rest of the year. This transit is felt more on a collective level than a personal one, unless it makes an aspect to one of our personal planets. At a social level, situations can occur that we have already experienced, especially with regard to finances. Certain economic-related innovation projects are reversed. The material destabilization can be seen as “detention” because it is necessary to review the changes that have occurred in recent times, or certain financial ups and downs can be repeated that highlight ideological failures at the economic level.

On a personal level, for Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius (especially those with personal planets between 15 and 20 degrees of these signs), the internal tension that has been felt in recent months may decrease. Uranus in Taurus indicates a need for personal renewal. For the Fixed signs, this transit is a good opportunity to listen to oneself and pay attention to the need to make external changes in our lives, since they indicate the need to let go of old internal structures that have become obsolete.

For Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer and Pisces, (especially those with personal planets between 15 and 20 degrees of these signs), the transit of Uranus in Taurus signals a time of personal renewal and the discovery of unique aspects of ourselves that may surprise us. Retrograde Uranus can bring surprising situations from the past that invite us to do something out of the ordinary, as well as innovation and changes in routine.

August 25, 2022 – Mercury in Libra

When Mercury transits Libra, the emphasis is on “listening to the other”, reaching agreements and the use of diplomacy. Communication becomes more “gallant”, charming.

For Libra, Aquarius, Gemini, Leo, and Sagittarius, this transit translates into pleasant conversations, the ability to get along with others, and a clear and balanced mind.

For Capricorn, Cancer and Aries, this transit invites them to learn to listen to the other and take into account other points of view.

August 27, 2022 – New Moon in Virgo

The New Moon in Virgo is a time to sow the seeds of our personal development. What would you like to improve about yourself or your life? What do you want to perfect? What are the new habits that you would like to acquire? With the New Moon in Virgo we have the opportunity to start a personal improvement project that will be developed over the next 6 months.

August 29, 2022 – North Node semi-sextile Chiron – 15 degrees 44′ (Taurus – Aries)

This aspect may indicate the acquisition of new personal values that enrich us in some way or another as a result of the pain of not being able to fully express our sense of identity.

Ongoing Transits

Jupiter Retrograde in Aries – 8 degrees 42′ to 6 degrees 58′

Jupiter is slowly turning back towards Pisces. In Aries, the energy of the warrior has been intensified. In retrograde movement we can expect this energy to decrease, while allowing us to re-experience actions that we have already taken before, to learn from them.

The Jupiter retrograde period will end in Pisces when Jupiter makes its final conjunction with Neptune once again. Now we have the opportunity to relive situations from the past where we can see if our impulses are aligned with what really inspires us or not.

July 5th – Mars enters Taurus

With Mars in Taurus, our action moves towards material security. The acquisition of goods might is highlighted. Now we look for calm, tranquility, and rest. Tendency to look for sensual activities. It is time to slow down and act deliberately, as the energy of action meets the material world and we need to learn how to manage what we spend our energy on.

July 5th – Mercury enters Cancer

Mercury in Cancer puts our attention to emotional needs. Conversations about family issues. Recordings of the past. Nostalgia. The mind becomes subjective and emotional. We tend to be more sentimental than usual and become reactive toward daily situations.

July 13th – Full Moon in Capricorn – 21 Capricorn 21′

New Moon – Full Moon Meaning

Full moons increase the volume of emotions. When they occur in Capricorn, we might feel that our responsibilities are too many, that we feel lonelier and full of burdens. This is a cycle that started around 6 months ago, on January 2nd, with the New Moon in Capricorn. Now we will see if the seeds we planted in regards to our ambitions in life have borne some fruit. What are the responsibilities that lead us to something productive and what are the ones that do not lead us anywhere? With a strong emphasis on family life this month, we can weigh our achievements against the balance between home and work, and spend more time with loved ones as a result.

Take a look at what astrological house this Full Moon occurs, as it will highlight where you need to put more balance in your life. The sign of Cancer is very strong during the first 20 days of this month, so it really asks us to create a balance between how we nurture ourselves and our responsibility towards others.

July 17th – Venus enters Cancer

With Venus transiting Cancer, we now find pleasure in home life, family, history… and old photos! By July 17 there is still a strong Cancer vibe, inclining us towards nurturing and caring for ourselves. A great time to nurture family ties and good food – and perhaps spicy (Mars is in Taurus!). Also, after the Full Moon, we can give ourselves everything that we have missed during the first 6 months of this year.

July 19th – Mercury enters Leo

Mercury in Leo directs our attention towards the creative. We might watch shows, performances, and things that awaken our inner child. We are thinking more about how we express ourselves. We could pay more attention to the impression we make on others. This is a good time to say what is true for you and talk about the things that bring you joy.

July 21st – Jupiter semi-square Saturn – Jup 8 Ari 38′ – Sat 23 Aqu 38’Rx

The semi-square between Jupiter and Saturn might bring some conflict between acting as we want and certain rules or facts that limit our action. We might feel setbacks when starting something new because of regulations.

We have just started 2022. This year comes with very strong energies that we see in the different planetary transits that form in the sky. Right now Jupiter is transiting Pisces, which softens our emotions and bathes them with compassion and collective consciousness. It is a good time to talk about the highlights of this new year.

Saturn in Aquarius Square Uranus in Taurus (from September to mid-November in 2022)

During both 2021 and 2022, the energy that we have seen manifest most clearly is that of the square between Saturn and Uranus. This aspect speaks of a very intense work of consciousness that takes us out of collective inertia.

The position of Saturn by astrological sign or house shows where reality is manifested. There we see the contrast of what we believe and what it really is. That is why we associate Saturn with limitations and even with the “trials” of life. Saturn forces us to mature, to see things as they are and in that way, he becomes the Great Teacher.

When Saturn is in Aquarius, it asks:

• How free are you really?
• Have you taken a look at your prejudices?
• Are you really serious about your ideals or convictions?
• What about your views on social justice?

Aquarius is a transpersonal sign. This sign sees everything from the collective perspective. It looks for progress and innovation. To answer these questions, Saturn shapes what is, materializes reality. When it is in Aquarius, it materializes our vision of the future. If we do not like the reality that we see today, then we have the opportunity to change it, since Saturn has allowed us to take a look at what we are creating for our future.

Uranus is an electric planet. It seeks innovation, it opens new spaces to create progress. Wherever Uranus is, we see revolution, evolution, disruption, and change. When Uranus is in Taurus, it comes to update our values, to wake up the sleeping bull. Taurus is an Earth sign and Fixed. Represents natural resources, money, agriculture, stability. We have Uranus in this sign since 2018 until 2025. During this period we can expect shocks in our value system, which dismantle customs and habits that seek innovation.

The square between these two planets moves the foundations of our personal values. It brings to the surface what does not allow us to progress, both individually and collectively. We have already felt this energy throughout 2021. It continues in 2022, especially from September to mid-November 2022, with the last near-exact square of Saturn to Uranus. Here we will see social disruptions, control over individual freedoms, group regulations that destabilize the economy, great social discontent due to restrictions, and a great desire to break free from inertia. Although these energies are uncomfortable, they also symbolize a great awakening of the collective consciousness.

Pluto in Capricorn (from 2008 to January 2024)

Pluto continues in Capricorn, transiting the last 10 degrees of this sign. We are in the last phases of the transformation of the structure of society, which began in 2008. Pluto in Capricorn awakens the survival instinct of established power, institutions, authority figures and the status quo.

Those who have been born with this position carry within them the internal work of eliminating ancestral memories that correspond to the limitations with respect to everything that refers to personal prestige. These children have come into the world to transform the traditions that have developed over the past 248 years. For the rest of us, this transit upsets the rules that we have followed so far and that correspond to the symbolism of the astrological house where it falls.

Jupiter Conjunction Neptune in Pisces (April 12, 2022)

In the midst of these tumultuous times, in mid-April appears the energy of compassion, imagination and universal love represented by the conjunction of Jupiter with Neptune in the sign of Pisces. It can also be a time when “illusions”, lies, confusion can be magnified. That is why during April, and especially around the 12th of this month, it is important to go within oneself and not focus too much on what is happening externally. Connecting with intuition can open the door to a true communion with our inner being while we open our hearts to understand the mysteries of Life. This is a time when the gates of heaven open to give way to beauty and universal love. Pisces is subtle. The more we become still, the clearer its energy becomes.

The North Node enters Taurus (January 18, 2022)

The change of sign of the nodal axis a new stage of internal balance both socially and individually. While the North Node was in Gemini, we have had to investigate the beliefs that we have become attached to and begin to ask ourselves questions. With the passage of the North Node in Taurus, the challenge is to focus on the simple, on what is seen rather than losing ourselves in the convoluted and hidden. We will feel more clearly the tendency to remain in states of crisis and pain (South Node in Scorpio) while the magnetism of the North Node seeks to connect with the senses, to materialize what we want to be able to enjoy life. At the collective level we are going to seek tranquility, peace, simplicity. But we will not know how! Meanwhile, the energy of the subconscious can awaken our deepest fears. The Taurus-Scorpio nodal axis helps us feel like we have a body to pay attention to. This can translate as a strong emphasis on the economy, money, food, natural resources, and the body itself. It also emphasizes reviewing our personal values ​​and the value we place on all that is alive. For this, the South Node in Scorpio helps us to deeply feel the internal emotional residues that do not allow us to enjoy Life.

North Node conjunction with Uranus in Taurus (July 31, 2022)

This astrological aspect marks an important moment in relation to the economy, the value system and a huge desire for radical renewal of personal values. Innovation on renewable energies. A big step towards progress. A revolutionary invention affecting the natural world and production. The awakening of the desire for freedom. How this liberating energy manifests can be both constructive and destructive. However, the consequences always lean towards progress, even though the steps can be disruptive and shocking.

Venus Conjunct Mars in Capricorn … with Pluto! (March 3, 2022)

Venus and Mars come into conjunction on February 12, 2022, in the sign of Capricorn. These energies somehow awaken a great attraction towards the conservative, preparing for a more serious Valentine (more weddings?). On March 3, the planets of desire and pleasure join Pluto, the god of the underworld, forming a triple conjunction at 27 degrees Capricorn. Will there be a scandal in the world of politics?

This conjunction occurs simultaneously with a strongly charged Pisces (Sun, Jupiter, Moon, and Neptune) and a very close conjunction between Saturn and Mercury in Aquarius. This could be translated like this: a strong desire for POWER, a highly intelligent authority figure, and a great collective bond, something that can range from delusional daydreaming to true unconditional love.

These energies are tremendously strong, so … keep your feet on the ground! We’ll see how it manifests itself …

Venus Conjunct Mars to 0 degree Aquarius (March 6, 2022)

This can be considered as the second phase of the great conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn that occurred on December 21, 2020 in the same degrees. Venus and Mars enter Aquarius at about the same time, 9 minutes apart. Here, pleasure and desire meet innovation and break with the established. We are drawn to the different, the unique, the unconventional. If we see it from the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, where we see the beginning of the renewal of structures and beliefs at the collective level, now we find the renewal of personal desires and preferences … a kind of second round for the great collective awakening that begins a new era that we can not yet glimpse because we are creating it together.

On a personal level, you can see in which area of life (astrological house) these aspects fall. This is where you will most feel these energies.

Uranus is the planet that represents freedom, technology, the new, the need to destroy structures that are already out of date. It is a planet that does not ask for permission and will make itself felt with more or less force, depending on our internal state. If we are very fixed in our traditions, if we want to keep what we know, if we do not open ourselves to change even when we feel the electricity in our body, then Uranus will present itself in our lives through a shock. It will break through despite our resistance. But if we relax and let our internal structures dismantle and keep the faith, then the Uranus force can be a liberating energy.

Taurus is a fixed, slow sign, a lover of tranquility, good food and that seeks to equip itself with everything necessary to be able to live well. Uranus represents the force of electricity. Shock. Its energy manifests itself as a disruptive force of renewal. What happens when these two energies come together? We will see innovation in personal resources and in the way we provide ourselves with what we need to live. The disruptive force of Uranus will gradually dismantle everything that is not sustainable. How will humanity experience it? Let’s take a look at our history.

The last time we found Uranus in Taurus was in March 1935, and it remained until August 1941. What was happening at that time? We saw Hitler initiate his expansionist policy, first annexing Austria to Germany and then invading Poland, which would usher in World War II. During those years, Hitler began to implement “policies” of extermination, first with the physically and mentally disabled, and then with all those who were not part of his “Aryan” ideal (including Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, opposition leaders, etc. .). All this was happening at the same time that the other nations did not seem to pay much attention to what was happening in Germany. Many countries refused to host Jewish refugees – including the United States and the United Kingdom. Hitler was considered a successful politician who had managed to flourish the German economy, which had been devastated since the end of the First World War. Despite being in contravention of the Versailles Treaty (the peace treaty signed on June 28, 1919 between the Allied Countries and Germany to end World War I), Hitler, without anyone stopping him, was buying and manufacturing arms, at the same time that it reestablished compulsory military service, ignoring the prohibitions established in the treaty. From Italy, Mussolini invaded Ethiopia. In Russia, the Great Purge began, a widespread crackdown on suspected opponents of the regime that lasted two years. It should be noted that Pluto would enter Leo in 1938, initiating a period in which everything related to personal power would go through a transformation. In 1939, Spain entered a dictatorship after Franco’s nationalist forces achieved victory against the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. Pluto in Leo, the sign of personal power and royalty, brought to the surface the desire for absolute power to the last consequences.

The transit of Uranus in Taurus began in July 2018 and will remain there until the end of 2025. Uranus in Taurus comes to free us from obsolete structures, which, once they disappear, will generate some kind of progress in our lifestyle. Of course, This can feel like a disruption in our way of life that has not been consciously sought and that takes us out of the comfort of the foreseeable. To explain it better, we can change that old saying this way: life gives you lemons because the Universe wants to make lemonade. Without trivializing the aberration of war at all, we see that Uranian energies cause some kind of equality at the social level (at least among the vast majority), and it usually happens through unexpected events. We can see great parallels between what happened 84 years ago and now. The refugee crisis and the closing of borders; the importance of economic power and the emphasys of “mine” in the face of ethical values ​​and solidarity towards the most vulnerable minorities. We may not be able to see today’s changes clearly until 50 years have passed. What we do know is that this time it is not about individuals transformed into emperors seeking to regain self-esteem through total control (the densest energy of Pluto in Leo). This time, the cause of social transformation is caused by the control exercised by corporations, traditions, institutions and governments (Pluto in Capricorn). The denser energies of Capricorn lead to emotional coldness. Pluto in this sign brings to light the tyranny of institutions, paternalism, authoritarianism and the desire to direct the lives of others at all costs. The potential of the passage of Pluto in Capricorn is to clean up the established order to create a more ethical society, where we can trust our governments, once the political system is reborn after the Plutonian disintegration and the direction of society is transformed into an act of responsibility rather than superiority and condescension.

Pluto takes about 20 years to go through a sign, and it will remain in Capricorn until 2023. The purge of the institutions began in 2008, at the same time that Wall Street fell thanks to the housing bubble, causing a global financial crisis and enriching the very ones who created the problem. However, that same year Kickstarter was born, the first collective financing network that, through donations or the presale of products, allowed projects to be carried out without having to resort to bank loans or any other kind of intermediaries. The North Node was in Aquarius at that time, marking the desire for freedom of action and the development of collective efforts.

Uranus in Taurus not only revolutionizes the value we place on what we consider “a material good”, but it also awakens our creativity to be self-sufficient without having to follow the traditional path. Uranus also brings an expansion of awareness when it comes to nature and our lifestyle. As happened in 1940, where scientists studied the nutritional value of food to keep the population healthy during WWII, now we are looking for ethical value. Furthermore, These changes do not come through institutions but are requested by society itself. Large clothing corporations such as H&M and others already include the origin where the clothing they sell is made, to assure the public that it does not come from modern slavery. The same goes for food. Many animal rights activists are denouncing the disparity between what is displayed in the marketing used by large companies that describe themselves as “ethical” (Whole Foods for example). Through advertising, these companies convince those consumers that are seeking “humane” options that their products are made with animals that have lived happily outdoors, when the reality is very different.

The last time Pluto was in Aquarius (1778-1798), Beethoven printed his first works, Mozart was in his creative peak, the French Revolution broke out, the United States Constitution was signed. It was Jeremy Bentham time. Bentham was the first Western philosopher to advocate for animal welfare laws, from within a comprehensive, non-religious moral theory. Mary Wollstonecraft wrote “A Vindication of Women’s Rights”, the most important book on women’s rights at that time. Jane Austen published her novels on social gender differences… Pluto will enter Aquarius in 2023 and will remain there until 2044. We will experience a strong resurgence of individual freedoms and the potential of dismantling all that threatens them.
