Aries for Week ending 23rd August, 2026

Aries
 

The Barbault Basket Alliance of the last month is slowly dissolving, as Jupiter the Great and Generous, planet of Destiny and Luck, moves on in Leo. With so many other exciting and interesting events going on this week, you probably won’t notice that your need to run away with circus or express your independence has retreated for the next few days!

Venus, the Goddess of Love and Success, is in your social relationships of Libra, which is her own sign of rulership, and the Love Lady is strong and affectionate here as she spreads her energy through your social life and your love life!

Mars is stomping along in Cancer, defensive and out of his comfort zone, distracting himself from his own uncomfortable feelings with busyness and cleaning frenzies around the home! Well, it’s good to keep active, but remember that your body has a need for pampering and soothing with all those complex emotions whizzing around. Find time for yourself to de-stress and relax... By the weekend, Mars and Venus stop their bickering and start to play nicely again.

This is a week of coincidences and serendipitous moments, particularly around the weekend. One thing leads to another... What starts out with frustrations and a challenge transforms into a Hand of Destiny over the weekend, with the Virgo Sun and little Mercury exposing “truth” ...  and a back story as they link up to Pluto, the Power Planet, in your public arena, and up to Neptune in your First House of Aries, connecting you to the subliminal flows and currents beneath the surface that shape your emotions, and the emotions of others, with understanding and insight.  A public drama unfold maybe!

Last week’s Solar Eclipse New Moon has brought new beginnings, and now you are in the middle of them. Saturn, the Great Controller of structures and responsibilities, in your First House of Aries is demanding, and you will have to find a compromise between the social activities and events on your list for the weekend... and the demands of loved ones and family. Take time for personal pampering... unstructured days to enjoy without a project to complete!

These are very generalised forecasts.   Read your Ascendant Sign as well as your Sun Sign.   If you need to know more, gain some tools to support your inner changes and have a personalised reading.....  click here to book a session with Victoria

Welcome, my friends!

Welcome

 

AUGUST  2026

There’s a NEW MOON in Leo on the 12th August  ... not just any old New Moon but a Total Eclipse of the Sun.  How exciting .. particularly for those in Greenland, Iceland,  Portugal, Russia, and Spain ...  if you are there you will be able to see the full show -  if the sky is clear of clouds.   The New Moon peaks at 17:36:33 UT(GMT) and the Total Eclipse peaks at 17:45:46 UT(GMT).   Western Europe,  Northern Asia, North/West Africa, much of North America, Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic might be able to see a partial eclipse.  Even if you can’t watch this amazing event the effects are still felt astrologically.  New Moon’s create new beginnings in the affairs of man and this New Moon coincides with a Grand Trine between PLUTO, URANUS and VENUS, and triple Alliances from all the outer planets ... for a day with high feel good factors and celebrations.  MARS, the Mighty Warrior is the only planet off on his own, sulking in Cancer and feeling very  disconnected and moody!!  (Remember to dig out your eclipse glasses, or welding shield glass ... don’t even think about watching without protecting your eyes.)

The second eclipse of the month arrives with the FULL MOON on the 28th  August in the early morning, flowing into Pisces and peaking at 04:18:20 am UT (GMT).   The shadow of the Earth will pass slowly over the face of the Moon,  strongest at 04:12:45 am UT (GMT) turning the Moon a darker reddish colour.   This is a partial Lunar Eclipse  but with the MOON involved the effect on the emotions is stronger.   MERCURY the Messenger sits right by the Virgo SUN hosting a Hand of Destiny across the Heavens, reaching over to PLUTO in Aquarius .. and over to NEPTUNE in Aries.  There are likely confessions and  revelations from MERCURY and the SUN in Virgo, spilling the truth out into the global  community – Authenticity is the focus, with NEPTUNE oozing compassion and connection and PLUTO creating transformation in our social interactions and what’s important for humanity.

VENUS, the Goddess of Love and Success, is in Virgo  at the beginning of the month, skipping over the border into her own sign of Libra the 7th August.  The Love Goddess changes her personality, shifting from self-absorption, worries and a need for reassurance to being focused and sensitive to the needs of others in her relationships. Here in Libra the Goddess is focused on restoring balance between the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine.   MARS and VENUS have been bickering and fighting for the last few months.   VENUS  is fed up with the endless chatter from MARS,  with all his ideas and schemes in Gemini, and the Love Goddess demands  grounded actions and stability.    MARS is in Gemini until the 12th August, slipping over the border into Cancer shortly after the Total Solar Eclipse, bringing energy, motivation, and a desire for security and home comforts.  But MARS will be  a little moody and disconnected, defensive and fiery for a few days.

By the time the Sun shifts into Virgo on 22nd August, the Barbault Cradle, that has been holding in the Heavens for so many months,  starts to dissolve as JUPITER leads the way forward in Leo, slowly leaving the influence of those outer planets behind.  But of course we are provided with a beautiful Grand Trine between the Sagittarius MOON, JUPITER in family centred Leo, and SATURN acting as chief cook and bottle washer organising gatherings and events.  After all the excitement the focus on Virgo says “calm down now and pay attention to the details to bring changes into being”,  turning our attention toward organising, de-cluttering, and practicalities.

PLUTO, the planet of deep transformation, is now retrograde in Aquarius until mid-October, inviting a slower, more reflective kind of change. This is a time to observe, reassess, and reconnect with our sense of purpose and power. On a wider level, there is a growing sense of collective awareness — people coming together, sharing ideas, and seeking better ways forward. It is a reminder that meaningful change does not have to be rushed; it unfolds steadily, with intention.

URANUS, the planet of independence and self-awareness, has moved into Gemini. For the next couple of years, PLUTO and URANUS will dance with each other, creating peak moments of intensity. PLUTO locks power into "the people", transforming society, the way we relate to each other, governments, and human rights. URANUS is the planet of upheaval, rebellion, sudden changes, identity, and self-expression — and he will now flow through Gemini for the next seven years. Expect developments in technology, communication, and governance, alongside new discoveries in medicine, health, and healing that support humanity.

NEPTUNE, the Mystic Muse, is in Aries for the next 14 years. His ideological compassion is already busy oozing across the world. Elements of the 1960s musical revolution are returning, heavily focused on the mind-body connection. This energy opens fresh channels of communication, brings charismatic leaders to the global stage, and fuels spiritual gurus and religious fervour. Throughout August, NEPTUNE, PLUTO and URANUS are still locked into a harmonious Alliance – all those subtle connections and behind the scenes negotiations!. While these links between three powerful outer planets lasts a few more months, it permanently imprints its energy of hope and artistic vision onto larger, decade-defining collective shifts — drawing us all toward the arts, interconnected networks, and opening the heart of compassion. So, hold onto your hats while these cosmic shifts take place. It is going to be an exciting and interesting few months. NEPTUNE is slowly meandering backwards, slowing down his spiritual questing with a little confusion bending reality until he turns around in December later this year.

There are challenges coming through the opposition between PLUTO and JUPITER,  beginning to dissolve by the third week of August. JUPITER is now in Leo until next 27th July 2027, which is great for family affairs, leadership, and creative expression, with expansion and travel highlighted. However, that challenging conflict with PLUTO puts a damper on plans and slows down progressive changes for the next few weeks. 

With so many intense and exciting moments this month you might need pay attention to your own energy levels.   Stay grounded, spend time in nature ...  avoid over stimulating your mind, switch off your thoughts and be playful!


✨ And a little note from me…

I have just a few Mercury amulets left—beautiful pure silver “eggs” on a delicate snake chain. They’ve been hand-cast here in Thailand, and I’m honestly so proud of them.

Each one is covered in sacred symbols, and I include a PDF explaining their meanings with every piece. I wear mine all the time—it’s very special to me.

Mercury amulets are said to support clear thinking, patience, and communication—perfect for smoothing out those Mercury moments!

If you’d like one, just get in touch via email or Facebook Messenger.
$110 each plus postage—and they’re only available through me.

Moon in Aries

The Moon in Aries

The Moon in Aries, a constantly reactive emotional body.    From zero to 60 in one second this position for the Moon is not always comfortable. Its all about adrenaline and how you use it.     Remember that Aries can be over active and sometimes anxious,  as well as focused and driven.   Here the Moon Goddess is Cardinal and forceful whether its in expressing how she feels about you, the weather or some miscarriage of justice.    The flames fade away as quickly as they flared up and may leave all those poor people with their heads chopped off lolling a round on the floor,  while you blithly continue in your world, assuming all is well now.

She is all fire.   Exercise is the key, use all that fiery energy dancing, love making,  hiking and even better, fire poi.   Anything involving adrenaline which takes the heart rate up lowers your emotional reactivity and takes you to a more comfortable place.   Cooking particularly over a barbecue or open fire is also great for Aries Moon.     The Aries Moon will nurture you with food and physical affection, and likes to be nurtured back the same way.

"Oh Hail to the Goddess in the Night sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head, I ask for your energy to flow through me in consciousnes, harmony and love"

Moon in Taurus

Moon in Taurus

The Moon is in her Zodiac Sign of Exaltation here in Taurus. She is powerful, sensual, artistic, luxorious and very much in the body and in touch with all her senses. She carries all the positve characterics of Taurus here including an appreciation of beauty in all its forms and a love of good food.   The Taurean Moon personality usually loves to cook and takes feeding people to an art form. The only downside when this aspect is in detriment or not so happy is a stubborness, an emotional stubborness that will often wilfully fail to see any truth that doesn't fit in with existing desires. Sometimes those desires are so strong that they hide from the mind, and the Taurean Moon won't even know or recognise their own motives.

The Taurean Moon will love being fed delicious food, and massaged, anything which appeals to the sensual body, in return the Taurean Moon will cook for you, style you and provide you with an endless supply of resources. This Moon Position is in the Fixed sign of Taurus, and very in the body. Sometimes the Taurean Moon is so busy dealing with the sensory experiences that she forgets to communicate these to the mind and here the mind is left behind, and the Taurean Moon will assume that everyone knows that she loves them....but do they? Of course she needs to learn to communicate from the emotional body.

"Oh hail to thee, Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessing fall upon my head.  I ask for your energy to flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love "

Moon in Gemini

The Moon in Gemini

The Gemini Moon loves to talk.....and especially about his or her emotions which can change from one moment to another. A restless changeable water body, quick to react and sometimes more in the mind than in the actual emotional body, since these feelings have to be felt through that Mercurial thinking process.  
No wonder Gemini Moons are accused of being fickle and two faced, which isn't true at all, its just that sometimes their ability to move on and release what ever upset has been plaguing them a few minutes before, is misinterpretated as shallow.

The Gemini emotion is Mercurial, magical, adapable and wonderfully light....even when doling out sympathy for their dearest friends, the touch is sensitive and featherweight. Having said all that the Gemini Moon is still capable of projecting emotion onto inanimate objects and falling in love with a computer or an iphone!! For partners the constant changing personality may sometimes be bewildering and you may be expected to be a source of variety and emotional stimulation. Just don't bore the Gemini Moon or try to hold her too tightly.  

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky may the rain of your blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in consciousness, harmony and love."

Moon in Cancer

The Moon in Cancer

The Moon is the ruler of Cancer and this is where she is the strongest.   The Cancerian Moon is protective, nurturing and defensive.   Think of a crab with its hard outer shell protecting the soft centre, and waving its claws agressively in the air at preceived threats.    Remember that like Aries, Libra and Capricorn; Cancer is a Cardinal sign, so this Moon is pushy and iniatiates action.   This Moon position gives such a strong need to nurture others that they could bomb people with food parcels.   Cancerian Moons need to check whether their nurture of others is for their own fulfilment to be a successful fixer or really something that someone else wants.

Clearly the Cancerian Moon makes very empathic and healing counsellors and therapists.   The only down side is that sometimes the energy can be a little overwelming and smothering instead of empowering.   These Moon people sometimes suffer from tears of rage when they get really angry and instead of a stream of articulate and to the point words to resolve an issue or make a point, they may just burst into tears.   Even more frustrating!

"Oh Hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love."

Moon in Leo

The Moon in Leo

The Leo Moon is playful and demanding, needing to be the centre of your lovers world, and needing that constant attention from partners and family to feel good about themselves. Naturally they make very good performers and artists in every sense, since they love to stand up in front of other people.   The creative flow of energy is a natural force for this Moon position. Allowing Leo Moons to be good at everything creative that they do. The down side to this energy is a need always to be good at whatever they do and a fear of being mediorce. This energy can also be in detriment and then the opposite is true, with low self esteem and a tendency to hide away.

If you have a Leo moon you will need to tell yourself that you are "bold, brave and beautiful" on a regular basis.   The Leo Moon's need for approval and recognition lies within and the only true resolution is when the Leo Moon starts to approve and recognise their own self.   Leo Moons love children and playing games of any sort;  they are usually the life and soul of the party,  providing there is an audience for them and their drama!

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in harmony, consciousness and love."

Moon in Virgo

The Moon in Virgo

The Virgo Moon connects you to the earth, to healing, and the healing arts. Wolves, owls, deer and magic all belong to the Virgo Moon.   The urge to serve others comes up strongly for Virgo Moons and the Moon transitting Virgo.   She also puts focus on health and nutrition, asking you to look at your diet and digestive processes. Virgo rules the spleen, which in astrology applies to more than just the actual spleen but the whole of the upper digestive system.   The Moon in this position means that sometimes the emotions are not physically felt but instead run in an endless loop of thought and analytic process.   A mind which never stops.

The anwser of course is to just feel the emotions.......as a physical sensation in the body or as a fluid momentum in the water body.   Breath work will help here,  and gentle breathing exercises focusing on the feelings in the body will shut the mind up.   The Virgo Moon can also satisfy her urge to analysis the emotions by writing them out of the body,  and the process of writing soothes and calms the over active brain.   The Virgo Moon is most likely to evolve into the world of alchemy,  using herbs and earth magic as part of the enterlightment process.

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in harmony, consciousness and love."

Moon in Libra

The Moon in Libra

The Libra Moon is gentle and dreamy. Its obviously all about relationships and the Librian Moon often only sees her self and feels herself through the mirror of an other. But of course the Libra Moon has a hidden iron hand within her velvet glove.

This is a Cardinal signs and the push for emotional balance is very strong.   The Libran Moon sometimes forgets that its her inner world that causes change, and will try to subtly adjust her partner to suit her own needs in the outer world.   Ooohhh!   Relationships are all about projecting our Shadow onto our partners . So its not a healthy practice to then try to change them from the outside. Better to do the inner work so that our outer world becomes more harmonius.   
 

The Libran Moon sometimes tumbles from one relationship straight into another because the pull for that other person's perspective is so strong. Libran Moons are such good listeners they take on the feelings of those they listen to and become a chameleon reflecting those same emotions back again. They can become lonely and sad by themselves for too long. The life lesson for the Libran Moon is to evolve into a place of at - one -ment, where they can have true choice over whether to share their reality or walk alone.

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in consciousness, harmony and love."

Moon in Scorpio

The Moon in Scorpio

The Moon in Scorpio is not always comfortable, and since I have Moon in Scorpio myself I can say that it brings its own unique challenges and insights. The emotions are deep and intense, and not always easy to express or release.

Scorpio Moon personalities cling on to past hurts in ways that are never understood by friends and partners. They may carry icepicks in their backpacks, in the form of wounds and sharp secrets, which they can whip out when under attack. So enemies remain enemies.
 

Its useful to remember that the Scorpio Moon has the power to change. The positive energy is a deep, and sensual response to life. to understand and relate to the psychology of the "other".To experience love on such a level that is becomes soul merging. To have empathic links with others that allow you to heal,nurture and change lives. This is the evolved Scorpio Moon.

"Oh hail to thee, Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessing fall upon my head. I ask for your energy to flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love "

Moon in Sagittarius

Moon in Sagittarius

The Moon in Sagittarius is complicated, on one hand friendly, outgoing, warm and adventuous; on the other, emotionally unavaible, impatient, competitive, and highly impressed by wealth and power.
They are warm enough to light a fire and make excellent teachers with their enthusiasm and knowlege and will boldly lead where other fear to tread, unfortunately that can sometimes be over other peoples emotions. Unlike the Taurean Moon it is not about the material world but more about the experiences gained, even though they may be fleeting, for the Sagittarian Moon these experiences contribute to the learnng data base....and emotional knowledge is power. The impatience to learn overspills their ability to form deep relationships which take time, time the Sagittarius wants to use to learn and expand. But the evolved Sagittarian Moon is the Divine Mother and all about empowering others.

The lesson for the Sagittarius Moon this life time is sustainable expansion in all its forms, either with love or enlightment, everything needs to come back to the earth. While the Sagittarius Moon is busy expanding and reaching for the Moon......their loves and friendships are left behind. What price power and fame if you leave behind your humanity.?

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in consciousness, harmony and love."

Moon in Capricorn

The Moon in Capricorn

Earthy and practical, the Capricorn Moon is sometimes very misunderstood.   This is a very emotional place to have your Moon.   The emotions are so physically felt in the body that the need is strong to control and repress them; and find solutions on the earth level to relieve the emotional pressure.  On the plus side Earth Magic is all around her or him and Capricorn Moons are drawn to Shamanic practices and rituals, and connected to earth magic in the form of trees, plants, rocks and rivers... A huge earthy connection to the environment.   

The Capricorn influence likes to be right..and have the last word, and of course this is to make them feel more secure in the practical world....usually at the cost of actually experiencing their own emotions.    They make great supportive friends, particuarly when they give up the need to "fix" and "solve" the people around them.   This Capricorn Moon is highly organised at taking care of others and wonderful in an emergency.

"Oh hail to thee, Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessing fall upon my head.   I ask for your energy to flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love "

Moon in Aquarius

The Moon in Aquarius

The Moon in Aquarius can put her emotions on hold and step right back for the bigger picture, trying to see the emotional need for the group as a whole and not just the individual.   The Aquarian Sign of the Zodiac are the Star Children of the Universe and the Moon here intensifies all those ideals and philosophy. Aquarian Moons need to take care of their tribes and groups. Sometimes puting their own personal needs to one side. That the tendency to disassociate from the personal emotions can put too much of a load on the nervous system for Aquarius Moons, and that lovely altruistic humanitarian energy can go into overwhelm and result in exhaustion and then a need for time completely alone to recover their energy.

If the emotional buttons are truely activated this personality can go into revolutionary mode and behave unpredicably and with extreme independence after emotional pain.    There is a tendency for mood swings and sometimes depressions which can last three or four days before they snap back into being buoyant and positive again.   They love groups and feel very supported by community living and community activities.

"Oh hail to thee, Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessing fall upon my head.   I ask for your energy to flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love "

Moon in Pisces

The Moon in Pisces

The Pisces Moon, soft, sensitive and self sacrificing.  This is the most sensitive of all the Moon positions, a place without boundaries or protective armour.  These personalities are often the mystics and psychics of the world, dancers, musicians, healers, poets, spirit workers and creatives.   The Pisces Moon gives a connection straight through to the collective unconscious.  The book that writes the writer.   The song that sings the singer . The down side for the Pisces Moon is the tendancy to pick up everyone else's emotions and recycle them as their own.   The extreme sensitivity can also mean that they collect the thought streams of others and then react to them as if they were real rather than just passing random thoughts.   Very sentimental and so often riding on the wave of emotions of others, they need grounding and structure to contain their compassion.

Their empathy extends to all animals, lost causes, orphans and underdogs!   Their strong need to sacrifice themselves for others causes problems in their lives.   All Piscean Moons need to learn to live for themselves and to want to be on planet earth.   To remember that their mission is to bring balance and harmony between the spirit world and the material world.   Their nervous systems are so sensitive that drugs and alcohol seriously interfere with their immune systems.   Most Pisceans Moons can see auras easily and if they look at their own in a mirror they will notice that thin patches form when they use escapist drugs or too much alcohol.   They also have a tendency to allergies and need a particularly healthy clean diet.   They are the Kings and Queens of unrequited love.

"Oh hail to thee Goddess in the Night sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in harmony, consciousness and love."
