Overall Outlook
Obstacles, concerns over emotional health, and overreaction, along with control and boundary issues come into view with this week’s Full Super Moon in Pisces, as its light reveals emotional truth and suggests that reassessment is needed.
The Sun
12th House/Virgo
Sunday influences: 9, Ansuz, Conjunctio, Human Design Gate/Line 59.5 The femme fatale/Cassanova; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Over the week, you may prefer a supportive role to one that involves leadership. You’d rather step into your own world and analyze the situation before expressing your views to others. That said, during the first part of the week, it may feel as if nothing is going your way and every obstacle possible is preventing you from accomplishing anything meaningful. Your emotions may be off-kilter, or you could be experiencing a health issue, so you will benefit by stepping back until you feel better. At the end of the week, setting realistic boundaries or expectations may challenging.
Your charm may break down barriers on Sunday, 27 August 2023 that have interfered with or compromised expectations of generosity and kindness from others. This is a day for making agreements that reflect a higher clarity.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (4th/Capricorn 8/27; 5th/Aquarius 8/28-29; 6th/Pisces 8/30-31; 7th/Aries 9/1-2)
Monday Influences: 1, Ansuz, Acquisitio, Human Design Gate/Line 60.5 Leadership; Moon Phase: Waxing, Gibbous
The Moon’s interaction with the various signs throughout the week impacts an individual’s emotions, moods, and vulnerabilities. At the beginning of the week, your home provides much-needed structure and security; however, as the week continues, your self-confidence increases and you take time to network with friends, old and new. If life becomes stressful, retreat to home or another safe space to regain your balance. Remember that overreaction may not yield any positive results.
Overconfidence on Monday, 28 August 2023, may result in the need to reassess your expectations. You need to be willing to let go of old paradigms and replace them with those that are more realistic.
Mars
1st House/Libra
Tuesday’s Influences: 11, Hagalaz, Tristitia, Human Design Gate/Line 46.4 Impact; Moon Phase: Waxing, Gibbous, Maiden
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Your energy increases this week to a level where maintaining an appropriate balance proves difficult. Consider channeling that additional energy into more creative opportunities instead of trying to control the narrative for others. Tension may be high for you and others this week and when collaborating with others, you need to clearly establish your own boundaries while remaining respectful of the same for others. If interactions do become tense, look within to understand your own impact on others before assuming the problem belongs to someone else.
A quick temper or holding grudges will get you nowhere on Tuesday, 29 August 2023. Instead, consider the role that timing has to play, and remain open to a more awakened response to a situation that’s been bothering you. Given tomorrow’s Full Super Moon in Pisces, you’re drawn toward a greater understanding of your emotions.
Mercury
1st/Virgo 8/27; 12th/Virgo 8/28-9/2; Retrograde
Wednesday’s Influences: 3, Uruz, Caput Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 47.3 Self-oppression; Moon Phase: Waxing, Full at 6:36p 07°Pi25 (Super Moon)
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. While Mercury is in retrograde, interactions with others may be challenging. Although you’re motivated to solve problems, you may struggle to say just the right thing to someone in need of compassion. Your intuition is strong this week, however, you may be overwhelmed by the thoughts of others and be unable to interact effectively. The boundaries you’ve set may be compromised, and you may focus on the needs of others at the expense of your own. And, at the end of the week, your ability to see the overall picture may be less. In short, the week may be one where it pays to observe more than it does to engage.
On Wednesday, 30 August 2023 a new path may open. Tonight’s Full Super Moon in Pisces may reveal some emotional truths and provide a moment of self-reflection. Your perceptions may have contributed to feelings of oppression when in reality, that was more of an illusion than anything real. While Mercury is in retrograde, tonight’s Super Moon may light the way to a better understanding of your emotions and perceptions so that you can invoke the inner strength you already possess to see your life in a more compassionate and realistic manner.
Jupiter
9th/Taurus 8/27; 8th/Taurus 8/28-92
Thursday’s Influences: 4, Hagalaz, Rubeus, Human Design Gate/Line 2.3 Patience; Moon Phase: Waning, Full, Crone
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. Over the week, although you might feel like setting off on a new adventure, your focus may be on taking time for yourself and getting organized. You may be feeling somewhat self-indulgent and not particularly committed to taking on new tasks or opportunities. As the week progresses, you may turn to a collaborative effort with others that yields success. However, at the end of the week, any overreaction on your part may affect that progress.
Overreaction is possible on Thursday, 31 August 2023, either by you or someone else, and it will take patience on your part to not add to the drama. The Crone phase of the Full Moon is a time for reassessment and understanding the impact of your actions, and this may be the moment where a pragmatic look could help solve whatever problem is surfacing.
Venus
11th/Leo, Retrograde
Friday’s Influences: 1, Uruz, Albus, Human Design Gate/Line 33.6 Disassociation; Moon Phase: Waning, Full
Venus, the planet of attraction, happiness, harmony, and beauty, reflects the feminine aspect within and how an individual loves and expresses intimacy as well as self-worth. A relationship with a partner is in focus this week. Although you passionately express your love for that person, it’s also possible at the end of the week to use work to avoid intimacy. A creative approach may be necessary to restore harmony and balance.
You take control on Friday, 1 September 2023 so that you can shape your experiences in a new, more productive, way. You are letting go of attitudes and perceptions that are no longer useful and you’re moving forward in clarity and wisdom.
Saturn
6th House/Pisces, Retrograde
Saturday’s Influences: 2, Hagalaz, Fortuna Minor, Human Design Gate/Line 55.4 Assimilation; Moon Phase: Waning, Full
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. Your health, both emotional and physical, continues to be a focus this week, and it may continue to interfere with productivity. It may seem as if obstacles surround you; however, a look within may be warranted to determine if it’s your own perceptions that are driving the difficulty and impacting your self-confidence.
A restructuring may be necessary on Saturday, 2 September 2023 so that you can make progress. Collaborating with others may prove more successful than going it alone. So, don’t be afraid to ask for assistance from a trusted advisor.
