NEW--The Astrology Oracle--seek your answers.

WEEKLY PLANET PLANNER-WEEK OF AUGUST 20

Ever so slowly the focus on Leo dissipates as summer begins winding down. The delicious indulgences of sun and growth and self-exploration begin to shift to a more serious focus on making the most of what you've discovered.

MONDAY-August 20
Sun square Moon
The emotional intensity and need for truth highlighted by the Scorpio Moon creates friction with the jubilant Leo Sun today. You may not want to waste time investigating a sudden doubt or worry but there just might be some viable reason to do so. It's seldom helpful to ignore one urge over another.

TUESDAY-August 21
Sun conjunct Saturn
The Leo Sun is the brightest of lights. Radiant, generous and wide spread. As the Sun conjuncts Saturn the light is gathered more intensely--less sun-like and more flashlight-like. Gathering the resources of integrity, commitment, focus (Saturn gifts) and allowing them to find an outlet in your self-confidence, creativity and sense of hope (Leo gifts) allows you to tap into the immense potential this day offers. Be willing to work hard.

WEDNESDAY-August 22
Mercury conjunct South Node-opposite North node
The past may have some answers or solutions for you today but their intended destination is the future. Nostalgia and memories can reign supreme under this influence and conversations often have a divine way of bringing the past to life.
Learn from "what was" and turn it into "what can be."

FRIDAY-August 24
Moon in Capricorn
Lunar energy rules the day and takes on the focused, serious, get-real and practical essence of Capricorn. This is a wonderful day to catch up on those affairs and responsibilities that have needed your attention.
Hard-work provides the perfect outlet.

SAURDAY-August 25
Mercury square Jupiter
If you happened to actually go a little overboard with this week's Mars-Jupiter opposition you can find yourself quickly running to keep up--or changing a plan altogether today. Don't waste time chastising a mistake or ill-timing. Just bundle up your focus and get things running smoothly.

Mercury square Mars
From rash decisions to a quick temper...this aspect is all the more reason to approach the day's events with tolerance and understanding. If you're angry with yourself chances are you'll easily find a focal point in your immediate life to project your feelings onto. Avoid doing so.

Venus Rx opposite Neptune
A heavily nostalgic and romantic atmosphere descends. Love affairs and attachments can surface in literal ways or through your thoughts. Mind fog does not make for clear and sharp decisions. Reflect, sort through your feelings, enjoy the moment but wait a day or so before making important and heart-centered decisions.

SUNDAY-August 26
Mars trine Chiron
Healing is an active event during the day. Look into where you've been feeling defenseless or unsafe and search for a healthy, affirming outlet for your feelings. Forgiving yourself of old mistakes and personal doubts allows you to remove barriers and obstacles that once kept you safe but now only serve to hold you back.
