Monday 17th August 2026! A Big Idea Is Taking Shape | What Did You Begin in June?

I've got some exciting things on the boil here.......the Venus/Jupiter sextile that I speak about, and the preceding Venus/Jupiter conjunction on June 9th is bringing about some great outcomes......will reveal all soon.....

However - here are the notes about Monday's forecast for you. Can't wait to be back properly. I've enjoyed my break from client work/teaching - and feeling refreshed and raring to go again!!!!

Monday brings three major planetary aspects, beginning with Mars square Neptune, which can leave our usual energy feeling depleted, confused or harder to direct — making this a day to protect our energy and find more creative or soulful ways to take action.

Mercury trine Saturn follows with exactly the kind of mental architecture we need, helping us organise our thoughts, create a plan and build something with real structure.

Then Venus sextile Jupiter brings an upward lift, potentially showing us the first significant development from something we hoped for, imagined or began around the Venus–Jupiter conjunction in June.

As the Moon moves into Scorpio and trines the North Node, we can take these changes inward and recognise that something really is moving forwards.

Just watch for a late-day wobble as the Moon opposes Chiron: if the opportunity suddenly feels bigger than you expected, don't mistake “this is going to ask more of me” for “I'm not enough to do it.”
