We have a colorful week full of planetary transits.

In this week’s Astrology, Venus shifts into Virgo, giving us the nudge to be more discerning in relationships. Jupiter and Pluto will connect in a configuration they have been in since 2015. Also, the Sun and Venus are making the most alignments these next seven days, aiding us in working on ego issues, self-expression, self-esteem, love, and finances.

8/5 Venus Enters Virgo: How To Be More Decerning In Romantic Scenarios

The beginning of the week opens up with Venus transiting into Virgo.

Venus in Virgo is a time to take gingerly steps surrounding our love lives and finances. In other words, this pairing teaches us to be picky about spending our money and relationships.

One thing to keep in mind is that this combination is in an astrological condition called “Fall,” which means that Venus encounters difficulties while in this sign. The reason for this is that Venus is exalted in Pisces, the opposite zodiac placement of this Virgoan energy.

However, this doesn't imply that we won't get the most out of this ingress while this energy is present—it just means that there might be glitches.

Energetically, this aids us in being more intent on seeing scenarios for what they are, allowing us to reduce the number of problematic romantic situations. So, this could be a period to flirt with date more cautiously. As a result, we tweak how we handle these issues to ensure we're making effective choices in our lives.

While maintaining a realistic perspective can be challenging at times, it is essential for more cautiously differentiating between authentic relationships and wasteful romances.

A pairing like this encourages us to slow down and think more carefully about improving our love lives. It also helps us take a thoughtful approach so our acts of service to someone we care about will be more substantial.

Professionally, this could motivate us to become more skilled in our craft. Also, this might be when we understand our monetary situations in greater detail than usual, allowing us to make better decisions about how we spend our funds.

Of course, balance is needed with energy like this because it could lead to nitpicking, focusing on the wrong things, and feeling anxious about love and money. Also, we must be mindful about taking someone on as a project to fix up.

Just as Venus enters Virgo, it will connect with Pluto in a quincunx, bringing to our awareness toxic behavior that we need to fix in our love lives.

Vibes like this could show us unconscious patterns that cause self-sabotage and unconstructive issues in our romantic relationships. So, this could be expressed as problems with jealousy, pettiness, a need for control, and other forms of manipulation.

Then, by Sunday, Venus will connect with Chiron in a way that promotes improving our self-esteem.

In a Venus-Chiron pairing, we discover how some of our earliest conditioning causes us to make the same mistakes in our romantic lives and why it's essential to try to break a destructive cycle.

8/6 Sun Sesquiquadrate Neptune: Second Guessing Yourself

As we approach the 6th, the Sun and Neptune will be in a configuration that increases drowsiness and makes us feel more uncertain than usual.

Sleepiness could be pervasive throughout the day with a tenor like this, so taking care of our energy levels is essential. With this transit, we might occasionally feel lost and find it difficult to understand complex ideas.

Because of this, we could feel confused, lack confidence, and demotivated. For this reason, it might be a day when we must take our time and wait until we feel less aimless.

8/7 Jupiter Sesquiquadrate Pluto: An Exaggerated Need For Control

Jupiter and Pluto will be in an aspect that hasn't occurred since August 4th, 2015.

Energy like this tends to rev up our confidence and need to get our way. An alignment like this could pronounce scenarios about entitlement, greed, opportunistic behavior, avoidance, feeling above others, and overall arrogance.

Because of this could be a period of dealing with those who react disproportionately if they don’t get what they want or can’t get away with things, resulting in power struggles.

With a complex Jupiter and Pluto transit, issues become accentuated with those who throw their weight around, try to use their Klout to absolve them of responsibility, get favors, or simply bend things to their will. However, this vibe tends to manifest as backlash for behaving uncooperatively.

A combination of this nature also manifests itself through exposing things underneath the surface, so it could be a period of seeing problematic situations come to light unexpectedly.

On a positive note, if this transit is channeled constructively, we can improve our lives and release patterns that no longer serve us. We tend to feel restless with a vibe of this caliber, allowing us to take more action and take considerable risks to upgrade our circumstances. And this could be a time to break out of a stalled phase in life suddenly.

We’ll feel this over the next few weeks since these are slower-moving celestial bodies. So, try to use these next three weeks advantageously.

8/7 Sun Sextile Jupiter: A Massive Wave Of Cheerfulness

The transits involving Jupiter continue, with the Sun positively aspecting this planet.

Despite Jupiter’s connection to a harsher alignment to Pluto, this vibe could help turn stressful situations into gold. So, if obstacles arise, this transit enables you to overcome them and resume your journey.

Energetically, this connection promotes a fortunate plus joyous energy, allowing us to feel optimistic and move forward without any hindrances. With this pairing, we experience an elevated sense of self, but in a positive way.

A Sun-Jupiter alignment is excellent for reviving self-esteem and belief in ourselves, which leads to positive, healthy ego expression. This combination might inspire us to take chances that pay off because it makes it easier to spot lucky breaks.

The need to socialize will be revved up since this energy makes us happier. As such, we may be amenable to going out, meeting with friends, or organizing a party.

And this also gives the nudge needed to begin a journey of self-improvement or even to explore spirituality.

8/8 Mercury Conjunct Venus: Reworking The Art Of Flirtation

This Friday's Mercury retrograde transit encourages romantic feelings, tender conversation, and gentle communication.

So, even though this is a regressive transit, it could mark a turning point harmoniously concerning our romantic relationships, friendships, and financial affairs, despite its connection to the regressive cycle.

A transit of this nature provides a chance to patch up situations that went wrong. Because of this configuration's compromising nature, we will be more inclined to reach an agreement.

Our interactions become more pleasant when this planet is in harmony with Venus. Therefore, we can approach various relationships with a more relaxed attitude.

Another way this could play out is through flattery, validation, and charming conversations.

So, this might signal the start of a flirtatious day, whether via text or social media. Because of the romantic overtones of this transit, we might find ourselves having amorous conversations with our partner, a crush, or someone we're dating.

Mindset-wise, this offers remarkably clear mental cognition, allowing us to resolve challenging romantic and financial situations.

8/10 Sun Quincunx Saturn: Unknowingly Undermining Your Own Self-Expression

The tone of Saturday may make us feel as though our confidence is ebbing and flowing because of the Sun's complex alignment with Saturn.

If we misinterpret what someone has said, we may feel self-conscious. Given that we're not in the best of moods, feedback, even if it's neutral, may make us feel a little letdown.

A tone like this could lead us to question what we have to offer and whether others accept us for who we really are or for what we ought to be. For this reason, it may seem as though our efforts aren't being appreciated.

An alignment of this nature is complex because it encourages us to focus on self-validation rather than constantly seeking confirmation outside ourselves. It also pushes us to seek a balance between cynicism and preserving a positive view of life.

Vibes For The Week

Social vibes will be present for the entire week and intersect psychic and mental vibes until the 7th. Good luck tones will also be present until the 8th.

Because of these tenors, we’ll feel like we can integrate our rational and intuitive minds more quickly than usual, allowing us to solve linear and abstract problems like a pro. Some of the good luck in the air will motivate us to take advantage of opportunities we usually ignore. Also, we’ll have an exaggerated need to mingle because we’re craving adventure.

Then, these interactive energies will also connect with family and friends from the 8th to the 10th. Even though the weekend is harsher concerning the transits, it will be a time to get together with loved ones and enjoy activities that get us out of the house.

Transits For The Week

A week like this has a complex feel, but we’ll still push past the gloomy vibes and make the most of these next 7 days.
