Astrology & Tarot for August 2024

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for August. They begin with a review of July's astrologically explosive month, and how ultimately certain invitations played out in surprising ways. They talk about how with the Leo New Moon and Mercury Retrograde occurring on the same day we’re called to balance diligence and self-expression. They discuss the “mutable melody" mid-month, which involves a planetary square dance between Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Venus. Among the themes that could be amplified during this period are restriction vs. expansion and how freedom can be accessed through having integral limits. They discuss the Aquarius Full Moon, and how with a square to Uranus, the energies could manifest in surprises, rebellion, originality and the clamoring for freedom—a striking alignment that aligns with the U.S. Moon and happens to occur on the first day of the Democratic Convention! Stephanie picks a tarot card at random--the King of Pentacles--and Megan explains how this wise and grounded King is a welcome presence in these chaotic expect-the-unexpected times.
