These final weeks of September are a build-up to major shifts that will continue to unfold as we move into October, culminating in the transformative solar eclipse in Libra next month, which will set the tone for how we relate to both ourselves and others in the months and years to come.

Grown up days ahead! This is a special two-week forecast for the period from Monday, August 26th, to Sunday, September 8th.

Throughout this week, the backdrop to all our experiences is the ongoing square between Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn retrograde in Pisces which is exact on Monday, August 19, the same day as the super-charged Full Moon in Aquarius.

This week as we build toward the powerful Full Moon on Monday, August 19, there's a strong undercurrent of transformation, wanting us to stay flexible and keep an eye on the bigger picture. It’s a week of opportunities wrapped in difficulties; while it won't be easy, those who can adapt and persevere will find themselves breaking through barriers and moving forward in ways that could be surprising.

This week looks relatively positive overall. It is a bit like the calm before the storm, a prime time to tie up loose ends and set things in order before the intensity of the following week hits. Clearing up any lingering issues or unresolved matters now will make navigating the challenges ahead a lot smoother.

This week has a really positive tone, even with the waning Moon which is more introspective. It’s a great time to show ourselves, express our feelings, take steps toward future goals and embrace the joy and love around us. Just be mindful of finances, especially towards the end of the week with Venus in Leo and Uranus in Taurus clashing.

Compared with last week and where we have recently been, things might feel less confusing and more like the summer we have been counting on.
