The Stars This Week: "Reach Out" - August 25 - August 31, 2008

[I Have A Dream]

Reach Out

08/25/08 - 08/31/08

With all of the recent intensity, it's nice to see both Mercury and Venus entering the sign of relationship this week. Mercury transits into Libra on August 28 when kindness gets you further than anything else. Then gentle Venus enters her home sign on August 30, and love is definitely in the air! On the same day as Venus' ingress, a new Moon in practical Virgo ends the week and the month with a time-to-get-back-to-work message.

August 28: Mercury enters Libra

Communicative Mercury's entrance into sweet Libra brings a desire to avoid conflict. See where you can come together instead of disagree. This transit is all about cooperation, making this a great time to sign agreements, invite your friends over for a laid back evening or even to write a letter of appreciation to your parents for everything they've given to you. Remember, everything you do comes back to you ten-fold!

August 30: Venus enters Libra

Venus loves being in her own sign, so this transit brings sweetness to all of your encounters. It's time to focus on your similarities with others and put your differences to the side. With Venus joining Mercury in a social air sign, you won't want to be alone! Make plans ahead of time. What a great transit to get together with friends or call the babysitter and schedule a date-night. Since both Venus and Libra have an eye for what's beautiful, this is a perfect time to visit your local art museum, plant flowers in your garden or even join an anti-graffiti campaign and paint a mural!

August 30: New Moon in Virgo

A new Moon in practical yet idealistic Virgo gives you plenty of energy to accomplish something that's meaningful and inspiring. All new Moons represent a fresh cycle, so this is a good time to hone in on what you want to achieve. As you think of a project, dream or goal that you want to infuse with this lunar energy, allow it to help you organize and implement those projects that are the most important to you.
