The asteroid of abundance, asteroid Abundantia, moves from earth sign Virgo to air sign Libra very soon. Abunandtia spent an unusually long amount of time in Virgo (over 9 months) thanks to retrograding (appearing to move backward) entirely in Virgo. This movement into Libra will be a relief! Abundantia can impact abundance. How will Abundantia in Libra impact us? Asteroid Abundantia in Libra 2023 Dates:
Asteroid Abundantia in Libra 2023 General Impact:
Asteroid Abundantia has been in Virgo for way too long! Virgo is the sign of work, the details and stress and super focused and hard-working. In moderation, this is great, but for too long? Ouch! And this has likely limited our abundant energy, especially when Abundantia was retrograde in Virgo.
Now that Abundantia moves to Libra, this brings some relief. We can focus on abundant energy in our relationships and connections with others, and we may find that we're open to meeting lots of new people, entering into new partnerships, agreements, and alliances, and we can make new compromises. This can lead to new openings and opportunities. We can also be more open to commitment, in our relationships, projects, ideas, and to ourselves, and we may enter into many commitments during this period. This can feel more comfortable, and instead of feeling stifled or overwhelmed, we can feel a surprising sense of space. We can also find abundance when we're balanced and surrounded by peace and harmony. If we're surrounded by chaos, this may throw off abundant energy until we get it sorted out and calmed down. There can be more opportunities to create balance in our lives as well. The natural ruler of Libra, Venus, is retrograde (appearing to move backward) at the start of Abundantia in Libra, until September 3 2023. This may mean we take a different approach to abundance than usual, and can find unconventional pursuits pave the way. Abundance may look different, or we may use abundant energy in a different way than usual. Mars, the planet of energy and drive, will be in Libra August 27 to October 12, so much of the same time that Abundantia is in Libra, though the two won't connect until they move to Scorpio. Still, we may feel the energy and drive associated with Mars, and Mars can help push us to pursue new connections with others, make use of abundant energy in our partnerships and alliances, and find new ways to come together that are beneficial for all involved. It's a very diplomatic and mediating time! Asteroid Abundantia in Libra 2023 Aspects:
Abundantia only makes 2 major aspects to the other transit (moving) planets while in Libra, and they're both near the end. Abundantia will sextile (beneficial aspect) Venus in Leo on October 7 2023 with both at 28 degrees, and this helps us finalize the changes with abundance that may have passed with the Venus retrograde, and we can make the most of our connections in a super positive way before Abundantia exits Libra.
Abundantia will square (challenging aspect) Pluto in Capricorn on October 5 2023 with both at 27 degrees. Pluto is going to end its retrograde on the same day Abundantia exits Libra, October 10 2023, so Pluto is slowed down to a crawl and this can be a strong aspect. This is a bit challenging with the square, and Pluto may bring out power struggles and control issues that we need to address in order to access the abundant energy we're looking for and need. There may be a compromise that has to be made, and we may need to work better at communication and listening. Since Pluto is ending its retrograde and stalled, we may feel stuck in some way, and we may be stubborn about it, but with Libra, we need to keep an open mind and be open to compromise. Somewhere in the middle lies the answer, and we can get out of the chaotic energy if we embrace that. The sextile the Venus around this time brings some help. Abundantia is also going to oppose transit Chiron in Aries on September 15 2023 at 18 degrees. Chiron is the wounded healer in astrology, and can link to our greatest wounds and how we can heal. Abundantia opposing Chiron can show we struggle with our wounds in a way that feels out of our control, and old wounds may get picked open. Again, we need some flexibility to deal with this, and to keep an open mind. Balance is important here as well, and to avoid chaotic energy. If we can keep control of ourselves, then we can find ways through, and actually find an opportunity to heal and grow that is exponential, much bigger and much more than we've previously thought, and we can make great strides quickly.

Black Moon Lilith is the apogee of the Moon, and shows an inner power and your ability to be yourself in the natal chart. Transits by Black Moon Lilith can bring this out, tamp it down, make it easy, or make it difficult. You can channel your inner Lilith more, or feel opposition when you try to, or focus it in a certain way depending on the transits. Black Moon Lilith has a very wobbly movement, so I recommend following the Mean position in transit rather than the True/Oscillating; you can give the True/Oscillating a try if you want, but it’s so all over the place that it can be a bit maddening. So maybe just start with the Mean and save your sanity (I personally only follow Mean Lilith). Transit Black Moon Lilith in the Natal Houses

But it’s an excellent period for empowerment and really making use of your natal Lilith, and you can be a lot more assertive and take initiative.

You can tap into an innate power at your core, and strengthen yourself internally. If you lack support, you may be more emotional during this transit. You may encounter opposition from those who feel threatened by how emotionally strong you may seem; you can also experience issues with family or at home, and working through them can help you feel more powerful. When transit Black Moon Lilith is in the 5th house, you can feel empowered through creative expression. You may take more of a public stance on something, being more open. In love, you may want someone who allows you to be independent and an individual, or you may want someone who is a little Lilith-like. You want to be free to be yourself in love relationships.

When transit Black Moon Lilith is in the 6th house, you can find empowerment through work, organization, and structure.

You may be able to convince others of your positions in a war of words.

You can make progress to get more power in your life, and you can be recognized for independence and individuality. You may feel like you’re hitting your stride when it comes to accessing your inner power. You may encounter opposition in a public way, but can stand up for yourself.

Here comes another Mercury retrograde! The next Mercury retrograde occurs entirely in Virgo, bringing too much on our plates. What will this retrograde do for us? The Basics - What is Mercury retrograde?
A retrograde occurs when a planet appears to be moving backwards from our vantage point here on Earth. It isn't actually moving backwards, it just appears that way. Mercury turns retrograde most often, about 3-4 times per year, and lasts for several weeks. When a planet retrogrades, what that planet rules tends to be thrown off, along with what the sign it's retrograding in rules.
With Mercury retrograde, we experience a shadow and a storm. The shadow period starts when Mercury first hits the point in the Zodiac it will turn direct at, and ends when it last hits the point in the Zodiac it will turn retrograde at. Most people don't feel the effects of Mercury retrograde until it enters the storm period though. The storm period of Mercury retrograde is when Mercury is moving at its slowest, less than 40 minutes per day. Mercury is a fast-moving planet and hates it when it's moving slowly. There's usually two storm periods, one around the time Mercury turns retrograde, and one around when it turns direct. 
Mercury Retrograde in Virgo 2023 Key Dates:
Mercury Retrograde in Virgo Effects:
The Virgo Mercury retrograde is usually one that is extra stressful thanks to Virgo ruling stress. We're stressed out about everything, and if you're normally a stressed out person, it can be even worse than usual! You may be on the edge constantly, and need some relief.
It's important to have a healthy outlet or two for stress going into this retrograde. That's the best idea to manage it well. If you don't have that, be ready for feeling super anxious and nervous and always fraying. Virgo is the sign of work, governing our jobs, as well as tasks, chores, and small projects. We may take on extra work, in our jobs and at home, and this may push us over the edge, so it's important not to take on too much. We need to balance work with play, otherwise we're stressed to the max. On the other hand, some of us may want to completely ignore any and all work, tasks, chores, and projects, and try to be as carefree as possible. This probably is a bad idea though, and we end up running from responsibilities that we shouldn't avoid. If you have a job and hate what you do, you're likely going to hate it even more with this retrograde. There may be some bad news overall about jobs, or something coming back in style. If you like what you do, you can be okay as long as you don't take on too much and stress yourself out. Virgo also rules our everyday lives, so there can be lots of little things that require more of our attention. With Virgo ruling the details, we can struggle with them, either too lost in them to get a clear view of the picture, or too far from them and unable to get any information. We may need to take a different approach to the details and to everyday things, shake things up a little bit, in order to see more clearly. Virgo is the perfectionist, and we tend to demand too much of ourselves or others, demanding perfection that can't be attained. We may have to get to the root cause of this, and work to let loose a little bit so we're not stressing ourselves out so much. Virgo rules our health and habits, so this retrograde might bring out health issues and stall our good habits while amplifying bad ones. It's a good opportunity to prioritize your overall well being though, and you can make more time to take care of yourself, which can help with stress (can you tell stress is the main theme?). This is also a good time for routine maintenance of all kinds. Mercury is the natural ruler of Virgo, so much of this is extra amplified, more than the usual Mercury retrograde. We're kind of a wreck at times, and we need to be extra mindful of that main theme, stress! The retrograde begins with Mercury trine (beneficial aspect) Uranus in Taurus, who is going to turn retrograde 5 days later. This can help us think outside of the box and experiment with new ways of addressing stress, frustrations, work, and taking care of ourselves. A different approach may help in ways we hadn't thought of. Mercury Retrograde in Virgo 2023 Aspects:
During the retrograde, Mercury will make just 2 major aspects to the other transit (moving) planets. They are:
- Conjunct the Sun on September 6th 2023 @ 13 degrees Virgo: This is the Inferior Conjunction, a positive point in the retrograde for starting something that can be a focus for the next 6-8 weeks; find where it falls in your chart, and that may be where you can start something. - Trine Jupiter on September 4th 2023 @ 15 degrees Virgo/Taurus: This is a pleasant aspect, and comes as Jupiter is about to turn retrograde itself, so it begins with some pleasant energy. We can come up with big ideas, pick back up old big projects, and regain a solid view of the big picture. The Moons of Mercury Retrograde:
The Moon travels through both signs Mercury naturally rules during this retrograde. The Moon is in Gemini (ruled by Mercury) September 5th 2023 (4:07PM ET/1:07PM PT) to 8th (1AM ET/September 7th @ 10PM PT), which can increase scattered, unfocused energy and a need for a mental outlet.
The Moon is in Virgo (ruled by Mercury and the sign the retrograde it comes in) right at the end of the retrograde, September 13th 2023 (1:18AM ET/September 12th @ 10:18PM PT) to September 15th (1:45PM ET/10:45AM PT), and this increases anxiety and stress. Final Notes:
The retrograde starts at 21 degrees Virgo, so those of you Virgos born September 11th - 17th may feel the start of the retrograde most. The retrograde ends at 8 degrees Virgo, so those of you Virgos born August 28th - September 3rd may feel the end of the retrograde most.
For the rest of you, check the house(s) Mercury will be retrograding in your own natal chart, and any aspects Mercury will make during its retrograde to your natal planets, to fully understand how it will impact you personally. If you have Mercury retrograde in your natal or progressed chart, you may not feel the worst of this. Those individuals generally don't experience the difficulties of the retrograde because it feels more natural to them. Of course, chances are everyone else around them doesn't have the same aspect, so they can still experience difficulties brought on by others.

Suggested Reading: The Mercury, Venus, & Mars Retrogrades page for interpretations August 2023 New & Full Moons: Full Moon in Aquarius, New Moon in Leo & Full Moon in Pisces7/14/2023
August 2023 comes with 2 full moons, one in detached Aquarius and one in sensitive Pisces, and a new moon in creative Leo. How do these impact us? What is a New Moon?
A new moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac (called a conjunction). New moons are related to beginnings, have high energy, and are enthusiastic.
What is a Full Moon?
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). Full moons are related to endings, culminations, and are emotional energy.
Full Moon in Aquarius: August 1st 2023 (2:32PM ET/11:32AM PT)
The Aquarius full moon is generally not as emotional as usual since Aquarius is a more detached air sign. This comes after the Capricorn full moon, another detached sign, so we're in a period with the full moons where we're not as caught up in our emotions.
When it comes to Aquarius, where we can get riled up is with our independence and ability to be true to ourselves. Anywhere we feel we're being boxed in, we can push back against hard. This can lead to rebellion, and that can be good if it's focused and controlled; but can be bad if it's impulsive and reckless. We can also focus more on our future with the Aquarius full moon, and those who have worked hard and smart can make some progress now, and some may even achieve what you've set out to do for so long. Others may experience setbacks if you haven't worked hard and smart, and have to assess your approach and whether or not you're fully in it. Aquarius governs change, so we may finalize changes we've been working on, finish plans for change, or sort through ideas for changes with this Aquarius full moon. We can see some results, which can help inform what we do next. Aquarius also rules our friends and the masses, so issues with friends or groups may come to a head, and we have to figure out what to do (solve or cut bait). Friends and groups we have a good connection with can deepen, and we can feel closer. The full moon occurs at 9 degrees 16 minutes Aquarius. Aspects to the full moon are: Conjunction: 7 degrees 16 minutes - 11 degrees 16 minutes Aquarius Sextile: 7 degrees 16 minutes - 11 degrees 16 minutes Aries or Sagittarius Square: 7 degrees 16 minutes - 11 degrees 16 minutes Taurus or Scorpio Trine: 7 degrees 16 minutes - 11 degrees 16 minutes Gemini or Libra Opposition: 7 degrees 16 minutes - 11 degrees 16 minutes Leo 
New Moon in Leo: August 16th 2023 (5:39AM ET/2:39AM PT)
The Leo new moon is often a nice new moon where we're in tune with our hearts, connected to love, and feeling extra creative. We can dedicate more time to our hobbies, to our loved ones, and enjoy getting attention. We can pick up new hobbies, pursue new creative ventures, and generally focus on the positive in our lives.
This Leo new moon is a little complicated though as Venus is retrograde (appearing to move backward) in Leo; it's not outright conjunct the new moon (a little wide for that at 5 degrees), but can still feel connected to it a little. Venus retrograde can bring out issues in love relationships, but also bring back old flames, and reconnecting with people from the past may be a goal with this new moon. So can picking back up old hobbies or restarting old creative projects, or redoing a vacation. The new moon can generally make us feel a little better about the Venus retrograde and help us take a little more action, something that has likely eluded us thus far in the lazy retrograde. We just need to make sure we're being smart about it and not impulsive, and as long as we are, this can be a great time for a do over or second chance. At large, we may see some news or developments regarding a celebrity or the entertainment industry, children, or involving a women's issue. The new moon is square (challenging aspect, 3 signs away) transit (moving) Uranus in Taurus, and this actually increases the odds we're impulsive, but it's most likely if we feel like we're being controlled.

Full Moon in Pisces: August 30th 2023 (9:35PM ET/6:35PM PT)
We have 2 full moons in August, a blue moon (depending on your definition), and this blue moon comes in Pisces, and finally brings some emotion into the mix again. Pisces is a super sensitive sign, and we can be more sensitive to what's happening, what others think, and what we can sense from the world around us as we're more sensitive to subtle energies and shifts.
Pisces is a super intuitive sign and rules spirituality, so the Pisces full moon can be a great time for reconnecting to your intuition and to your spiritual self. If there are blocks, they can be worked on, and there can be some major understanding that occurs. Pisces is the last Zodiac sign and therefore associated with endings, and full moons also rule endings, so the Pisces full moon is often a time of a major ending or two. We're ready to finish, to release, to let go, and to move on. We can get in tune with our subconscious minds and with the past, and this can help us identify baggage and blocks and patterns that need to be addressed so we can move forward without them holding us back. Pisces is a sensitive sign, and we can be extra compassionate and empathetic with the Pisces full moon. We may take it quite personally when we see someone being hurt, or something especially cruel happening, especially with Venus still retrograde for this full moon. We can work to be gentler, caring, and more considerate. Pisces is also a water sign, so we can see water events or developments with the Pisces full moon. The full moon occurs at 7 degrees 25 minutes Pisces. Aspects to the full moon are: Conjunction: 5 degrees 25 minutes - 9 degrees 25 minutes Pisces Sextile: 5 degrees 25 minutes - 9 degrees 25 minutes Taurus or Capricorn Square: 5 degrees 25 minutes - 9 degrees 25 minutes Gemini or Sagittarius Trine: 5 degrees 25 minutes - 9 degrees 25 minutes Cancer or Scorpio Opposition: 5 degrees 25 minutes - 9 degrees 25 minutes Virgo Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations by house and aspect
