PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY August 20 2018 to August 26 2018 Monday August 20 A Little Luck More Sally Fisher Art here. Although the final alignment in the series of Jupiter and Neptune alignments has now peaked, the slow progress they both make across our skies ensures that we'll continue to benefit from their influence a while longer. That is especially good news since we won't experience anything quite like it for another eight years! Although this remains a celestial blessing, we can't expect to sit back and let it do all the work for us. In order to lead a charmed life, we need to put ourselves into the best possible position from which we'll most benefit from a little luck. Tuesday August 21 Max P More Sally Fisher Art here. "There's three ways to do things: the right way; the wrong way; and the Max Power way!" declares Homer Simpson after changing his name to Max P. "Isn't that the wrong way?" asks Bart. "Yeah.. but FASTER!" he replies. Last week, as it reversed to a standstill, Mercury formed a right-angle with Jupiter. This sharp relationship continued as Mercury finally changed direction last weekend. Thankfully, since Jupiter's magnifying abilities will affect Mercury for another week or so, it's now helping to maximise progress in the 'right' way! Homer would be happy! Wednesday August 22 Finding the Right Angle More Sally Fisher Art here. Hi Oscar, You've often referred to 'right-angles' between two planets. But don't you need three points for a right angle? Deborah Hi Deborah, You do need three points for a right-angled triangle, yes. However you just need to stand and face the waxing Moon tonight, then turn 90 degrees to face Venus in the sky. The aspect they're making now is sometimes referred to as a 'right-angle' or, more traditionally, in astrological speak it's known as a 'square'. Oscar Thursday August 23 Here We Virgo More Sally Fisher Art here. As the Sun changes signs today, the focus in all our lives will naturally turn to more Virgoan matters. The textbooks say that means 'order and organisation, detail and determination, work and worry, sensibility and servitude'. But that barely tells the real story. If you're lucky enough to have any Virgos in your life you'll know just how sensuous, silly and incredibly special they can be! It's just that they have high standards that need to be met. We all have the chance to set those now! Friday August 24 On Target More Sally Fisher Art here. Grand Trines involve three planets, set equally apart, forming a triangle in the sky. Although powerful energy flows harmoniously between the points, without a focal point to direct their attention towards, they sometimes fail to have a major influence on our lives. As the Sun begins to enter into such an alignment with Uranus and Saturn, the Moon waxes to a climax. Like an archer finally sensing its target, the Grand Trine homes in on this lunar event. Thus, this weekend, the Full Moon encourages us to shoot for the stars. Saturday August 25 Your Week Ahead More Sally Fisher Art here. This Pisces Full Moon is no ordinary lunar event. By forming a Grand Trine with Saturn and Uranus, the Sun radiates a special magic on our silvery companion. Normally Grand Trines are relatively passive. They offer a gift of strength, which can be used to bring change in a powerful and positive fashion, without necessarily demanding immediate action. But the Full Moon brings the realisation of how best to apply this assistance. With the iron this hot, as fiery Mars turns direct, the invitation to strike may be rightly tempting! Sunday August 26 Your Week Ahead - Love Focus More Sally Fisher Art here. Remember, your Love Forecast today does not just cover romance.
