[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of August 19 - 25

This week starts off with a bang and then begins to simmer down.  

Monday 08/19

• ♀︎ at 17° 21‘ Virgo □ ♃ at 17° 21‘ Gemini | 1:52 am eastern
• ☽ at 19° 39‘ Aquarius △ ♂︎ at 19° 39‘ Gemini | 2:07 am eastern
• ♀︎ at 17° 29‘ Virgo ☍ ♄ at 17° 29‘  Pisces  | 4:29 am eastern
• ☽ at 26° 04‘ Aquarius ☍ ☿  at 26° 04‘ Leo | 12:32 pm eastern
• ☉ at 27° 11‘ Leo □ ♅  at 27° 11‘ Taurus  | 12:45 pm eastern
• ☽ at 27° 11‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 27° 11‘ Taurus | 2:19 pm eastern

Monday we have the Aquarius Full Moon at 2:25 pm eastern - but it’s not an isolated event. The majority of the big transits this week are also happening within hours of the Full Moon.

This Full Moon is about staying committed to your principles while handling sudden changes and shifting dynamics. The tension between stability and the desire for freedom is strong, but with Saturn receiving support from Venus and Jupiter, the challenges can be productive. You’re being pushed to find practical solutions and make real progress, even if it means navigating some uncomfortable adjustments.

This is a time to reassess whether your current goals and relationships are built on solid ground. The pressure you’re feeling isn’t just about restrictions—it’s an opportunity to refine your approach and focus on what truly has lasting value. Finding balance between discipline and opportunity can lead to growth, even when the road feels a bit bumpy.

Tuesday 08/20

• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 17° 22‘ Pisces | 10:44 pm eastern
• ☽ at 17° 37‘ Pisces □ ♃ at 17° 37‘ Gemini | 11:09 pm eastern

Tuesday might feel a little heavy, sort of an astrology hangover from all of the energy that culminated with the Full Moon.

It’s a good time to think about what truly matters and working through any limitations or responsibilities that pop up. ​​This is definitely a day for patience and accepting what can’t be rushed.

Wednesday 08/21

• ☽ at 19° 51‘ Pisces ☍ ♀︎ at 19° 51‘ Virgo | 2:43 am eastern
• ☽ at 21° 00‘ Pisces □ ♂︎ at 21° 00‘ Gemini | 4:34 am eastern
• ☽ at 27° 12‘ Pisces ✳ ♅ at 27° 12‘ Taurus | 2:31 pm eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 29° 18‘ Pisces | 5:53 pm eastern
• ☽ V/C | 5:53 pm eastern - 7:01 pm eastern
• ☽ ▻ Aries | 7:01 pm eastern
• ☽ at 00° 12‘ Aries ✳ ♆ at 00° 12‘ Aquarius | 7:21 pm eastern

Wednesday starts off a bit antagonistic or activating. People will either launch into the day with all of the let’s get it done energy or be a little cantankerous. 

As the day progresses you’re more likely to encounter some unexpected solutions or opportunities for change if you remain flexible and open minded.

Thursday 08/22

• ☉ ▻ Virgo | 10:55 am eastern
• 🌖 Waning Gibbous | 7:54 pm eastern
• ♀︎ at 22° 08‘ Virgo □ ♂︎ at 22° 08‘ Gemini  | 11:20 pm eastern

Thursday the Sun moves into Virgo. This is a period that focuses on productivity, attention to detail, and practical tasks. 

It’s a good time to organize, refine your routines, and address small but important matters that have been overlooked. Precision and careful planning can lead to steady progress and a sense of accomplishment (especially as it relates to your Virgo house topics).

The other big news for today is Venus in Virgo squaring Mars in Gemini. This is probably going to look like a development in your Aquarius Full Moon story but it also could show up like tension (passionate or ragey) in your romantic relationships or between men and women in general. 

Friday 08/23

• ☽ at 17° 54‘ Aries ✳ ♃ at 17° 54‘ Gemini | 12:04 am eastern
• ☽ at 22° 20‘ Aries ✳ ♂︎ at 22° 20‘ Gemini
• ☽ at 23° 11‘ Aries △ ☿ at 23° 11‘ Leo | 8:44 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 8:44 am - 8:00 pm eastern
• ☽ ▻ Taurus | 8:00 pm eastern
• ☽ at 00° 09‘ Taurus □ ♇ at 00° 09‘ Aquarius | 8:16 pm eastern
• ☽ at 01° 25‘ Taurus △ ☉ at 01° 25‘ Virgo | 10:22 pm eastern

Friday is productive and pretty nice. However, there is an almost 12 hour void of course Moon that happens between 8:44 am - 8:00 pm eastern.

That isn’t bad, it’s just something to be aware of. If you’re looking for ways to optimize the energy, check out my blog post and podcast: A Practical Guide to the Void of Course Moon. 

Saturday 08/24

• ☿ at 22° 48‘ Leo ✳ ♂︎  at 22° 48‘ Gemini  | 12:30 am eastern

Saturday is all about the bold communication and action taking. Maybe that looks like going on adventure or maybe you’re about to hyperfocus your way through a pile of things on your to-do list.

Sunday 08/25

• ☽ at 17° 04‘ Taurus ✳ ♄ at 17° 04‘ Pisces | 12:46 am eastern
• ☽ at 22° 07‘ Taurus □ ☿ at 22° 07‘ Leo | 9:24 am eastern
• ☽ at 15° 23‘ Taurus △ ♀︎ at 15° 23‘ Virgo | 3:03 pm eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♅ at 27° 14‘ Taurus  | 6:15 pm eastern
• ☽ V/C | 6:15 - 11:03 pm eastern
• ☽ ▻ Gemini | 11:03 pm eastern
• ☽ at 00° 07‘ Gemini △ ♇ at 00° 07‘ Aquarius  | 11:16 pm eastern

Sunday is good for doing all of the practical things efficiently(ish). There could be some unexpected communication or turn of events but with a bit of flexibility that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

Until next time, my wish for you is a willingness to stand your ground coupled with the wisdom to know when to shift your footing. -Robin💋
