Astrology & Tarot Insights for August 2023

In this episode of the So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for August. They discuss how this current Venus Retrograde period (which goes through September 3) is encouraging us to re-evaluate our relationship with others, our finances, our definition of beauty, and all that we value. They talk about the mid-month Venus Cazimi and what this love-radiating invitation may inspire. They discuss how it’s a Blue Moon month with two Full Moons, one in Aquarius and the other in Pisces, bookending the month. They note how with the last week of the August featuring both Venus and Mercury Retrograde that it will be important to not force forward moment but rather to take the time to reflect and reconsider. Stephanie draws a Tarot card at random--the Two of Wands--and Megan explains how this tarot archetype provides a powerful metaphor for harnessing our power and not acting until we're truly ready to do so (which feels so aligned with the retrograde energetic with which we are currently moving).
