Grandtrines

Zodiac art by Kristine Caguiat

A grand cross is happening over weekend, thanks to the moon being in Aries, which lines it all up. All in cardinal signs, a call for a change and action to happen, you may feel pushed and pulled in many direction. Within yourself and your relationships.

This may be an if your up for it time, if not do/be the Venus trine Nepturn.

Moon in Aries square Pluto and Venus, emotions may be sparky and high, in areas of love, money, relationships. Emotions may run deep and can be in conflict. You can have trouble of letting go here. You want stability, comfort, but no.

Venus in Cancer square Jupiter in Libra, these two are quite a nice combo, just don’t go overboard or to far in all Venus things. Love, spending, eating, you know, try some discipline and awareness when out and about.

Mercury retrograde always brings some form of revision either willingly or imposed on us by unforeseen circumstances. There is no reason to hop on the Mercury-Retro-Freak-Out-Train as this occurs approximately 3 times a year.

When a planet ‘goes retrograde’ this usually indicates that it will move in a backward motion. Although a planet cannot physically move backwards, this will, however, appear in the astrological horoscope — a tool used to assist in identifying people and situations as well as predicting future events.

Mercury will be going retrograde on August 12th, 2017 at 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time and will go direct on September 5th, 2017 at 7:30 AM EST. Mercury Retrograde occurs about every three or four months, lasting at about three weeks.

During this time period, there is a strong possibility that you may run into people from the past (hence retro in retrograde), especially exes and old romantic interests — this is especially common when Venus is retrograde, which only happens once every…
