Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord

Mercury retrograde in Virgo begins on August 23 at 21 degrees and offers an invitation into what you are ready to clean up and organize in your energy and daily life, especially with the Sun in Virgo highlighting these themes. What no longer serves you? What is not working in your body, your life, and in your world? This is a beautiful time to be adaptable and open to new solutions, as well as new information that may provide you with a fresh perspective. Mercury retrograde will trine Jupiter in Taurus, signaling that it’s easier to make these changes and that it even feels good to do so now. Mercury then stations direct at 8 degrees Virgo on Sept 15th and will cover the same territory until the Messenger planet enters Libra on October 9.

A dynamic week leads us into the middle of August as the Sun in Leo interacts with Venus retrograde, Chiron RX in Aries, and Uranus in Taurus, igniting new opportunities and unexpected developments as we approach the Leo New Moon on August 16. Venus RX will be conjunct that Sun at 20 degrees Leo on August 13, which is a Venus Star Point that initiates a new 8-year cycle in creation, love, and abundance themes. Uranus in Taurus is highly influential this week as it squares the Sun and Venus RX, which can be shocking revelations, but trines Mars in Virgo that will know what next steps to take. Chiron RX in Aries trines both the Sun and Venus RX this week, which can strengthen where you may have felt weak or vulnerable and provides the opportunity for greater self-confidence and happiness.

New love, abundance, and creation cycles begin with the New Venus energy that is activated on August 13, 2023, when Venus retrograde is exactly conjunct the Sun at 20 deg Leo. This energy closes a cycle that began in August 2015 (the last New Venus in Leo), as well as looking at what came to fruition during the Full Venus energy in August 2019. Powerful energy from the Sun in its ruling sign of Leo is invigorating Venus with new lightcodes, inspirations, self-worth, prosperity, and love connections. Powerful soulmate connections, romantic relationships, and heart-based interactions will begin anew now, especially after the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal and the Leo New Moon on August 16. It’s a time to be very intentional with what you want to manifest and experience in this new cycle, especially as the energy will unfold over the next 8 years.

The first week of August brings a focus to Taurus and Leo energies as disruptions, surprises, and higher awareness streams in to reveal what connects to your creative power now. The Sun and Venus retrograde in Leo are each receiving squares from Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, which can create waves of amplified change and opportunities to check in on what you are putting energy towards that is paying off – or not. Choices may be clearer now, especially if areas of your life are not connecting with realizations or important insights you’ve recently had. Mercury and Mars in Virgo are keeping us on task and focused on responsibilities, even amongst the developments that may feel out of your control right now.

The 2023 Lion’s Gate Portal is an evolutionary energy as we receive the high-vibrating power of Sirius, our Spiritual Sun, as it rises on the horizon and brings in cleansing power to our planet. The portal opens the end of July until the middle of August as the Sun journeys through Leo, and expands our heart, desires, confidence, and courage to be our true selves. With Venus retrograde in Leo, and a New Venus conjunction with the Sun on August 13, there is a stronger urge to move forward and take a risk based on what is coming through in your heart space. Heart healing and solar plexus expansion is streaming through to support what you want to build and experience in alignment with New Earth Consciousness. More to share in this podcast episode.   New!

August begins and ends with 2 Super Full Moons, plus we’ll have 7 retrograde planets as the month closes out, so we’ll need to be adaptable and flexible, as well as willing to slow down and truly listen to what your energy is saying to you. Many planets are in Earth signs right now, bringing our attention to our physical world, responsibilities, and priorities. Mercury stations retrograde on August 23, the same day the Sun enters Virgo, and creates an exciting trine to Uranus in Taurus which also stations retrograde on August 28. Venus retrograde is in effect all of August, too, so allow yourself to retract as needed and make time to hear your heart’s messages more.   New!

The Sun in Leo opens up more solar power and your innate creative instincts, which can be further activated with the Aquarius Full Moon that kicks off the month of August. Venus retrograde in Leo is moving very slowly this week as she sits with what is in her heart, just as Mercury comes along to conjunct her at 28 deg Leo. Both are receiving powerful influential energy of a Finger of God from Neptune RX in Pisces and Pluto RX in Capricorn, raising their consciousness to above simply what you want in this moment. Mercury enters Virgo on July 28, and then opposes Saturn RX in Pisces on August 1. A week to remain open to what your future self is sending your way, as well as to say flexible in what can transpire next on your path. More to share in this week’s podcast episode.   New!

Pluto moves through Aquarius from 2023 until 2044 and will deeply transform both individual and collective energies on the planet. Pluto will powerfully interact with planets in the fixed signs – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius – and change these areas into new empowered expressions, after Pluto is done directly aspecting any planets or points in those signs. Pluto in Aquarius will support the evolutionary journey of Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius, as well.

The Sun moves through the last 10 degrees of Cancer season, bringing up more insights into your emotional process, private life, and internal needs in powerful ways as we build up to the Cancer New Moon on July 17.

Energies from your unconscious are becoming clearer and stronger so you can powerfully choose what no longer serves your well-being going forward.
