WEEK OF August 17 - 2 3, 2020
An offer too irresistible to refuse (or at the very least, deeply consider) could come across your desk this Tuesday, August 18. For this, you can thank 2020’s only new moon in Leo, which is stirring the pot in your mesmerizing and seductive eighth house. There’s nothing light and fluffy about this proposition—but TBH, Capricorn, that’s what makes it so damn exhilarating. Because it brings the potential to literally shake up your life, you don’t need to rush in. New moons bring potent “fresh-start” energy to new projects and plans, but you have a window of six months to manifest whatever is meant to evolve. This week, you can take the first few curious steps down a tantalizing breadcrumb trail. Then, pause to tune in to your intuition and gauge the response. After that, you can determine your next move. With la luna stoking the embers in your magnetic eighth house, you could meet someone who feels like a familiar companion. This is likely a deep emotional connection with roiling chemistry, but may also be a connection involving joint financial ventures, shared resources and investments. Coupled Capricorns might feel ready to go deeper in a partnership, making a commitment that further binds you together, like signing a lease or opening a joint checking account.
But don’t get in SO deep that you neglect your independent spirit. On Wednesday, messenger Mercury zips into Virgo, activating your ninth house of expansion and adventure until September 5. Then, on Saturday, the Sun follows suit, igniting the Virgo season celebration that blazes on until September 22. Wanderlust hits you hard during this adventurous cycle, and for the more daring among you, it’s “have mask, will travel.” Midweek, get back in touch with friends in far-flung places. Catching up about life since COVID could turn into an invitation to spend a week in their (bleached and sanitized) guest room, or renting RV’s to camp, and a midpoint destination before summer is officially over.
Can’t get away? You can subdue the itch with an intellectual challenge, like signing up for a fall webinar to kickstart your entrepreneurial plans or get you motivated to write that “how to” book—or a spiritual one, like a 21-day meditation to attract abundance, love, whatever’s “missing” from your desire list. The ninth house rules everything global and multicultural, and you can make the most of social Mercury and the attractive Sun’s sojourn through this zone by magnifying your own horizons. Mingling with folks who grew up differently from you will stimulate your mind, and, if you’re single, could titillate more than just your brain cells.
