Cosmic Weather:
If you want to understand something, take it apart and reassemble it. This doesn’t just apply to objects.” – James Pierce
With the illuminating rays of the creative Leo Sun conjoined with Mercury retrograde (9:58 pm), we may be privy to a greater measure of mental clarity at this time, which could result in some kind of turning point, with respect to our thinking or understanding, especially in relation to a matter that is already under our noble, heady review. Too, this matter may particularly pertain to how we choose to express ourselves or our talents (Leo).
Additionally, Mercury Rx is squaring radical Uranus in Taurus (exact at 5:47 am), seemingly giving us carte blanche to espouse, or at least evaluate, more experimental processes or methodologies. Similarly, this aspect may conveniently open the door for us to temporarily channel our ‘inner contrarian.’
It also may be one of those days when we may hear or see something “out of left field” that we may not have been expecting.
(In my own case, I literally had a large pine tree come down in the open field to the left of my house overnight, supplying me with yet one more thing to joyously opine about on this cheery Sunday morning!) 🙂
Today’s Sun-Mercury configuration also denotes the midway cycle in Mercury’s apparent backward dance in the heavens, which began on August 4 and concludes on August 28.

On This Day in History: On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified in the US giving women the right to vote.
Astrologically, that day, feminine-ruling Venus, at 8 degrees of harvesting Virgo, was exactly sextile to transformational Pluto at 8 degrees of Cancer. Cancer has traditionally been associated with, among other things, patriotism and love of country. Venus was also applying to a conjunction with Saturn, which suggests an addition of duties or responsibilities.
Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.
