So this isn't a forecast, but it is an exploration of how you can see OOB planets in your chart and see how wild you are. OOB is like planets on steroids Also, a little about Pluto and Mars OOB. If you like this subject. We had an OOB hangout recently, and I think that video is available to watch if you want to. Have fun xxx

Tuesday is a powerful Mars day, beginning with Mars trine the North Node and an invitation to consider whether the actions we're taking are genuinely leading us towards the future we want. As the Moon moves into Leo and activates Chiron, Mercury and Pluto, old wounds, fixed stories and uncomfortable self-judgements may become easier to see — perhaps clearly enough that we're finally ready to stop repeating them. Later, supportive connections with Neptune, Venus and Uranus help the emotional atmosphere lighten, reconnecting us with intuition, love, possibility and renewed excitement about life. Finally, Mars moves into Cancer, beginning a new chapter of instinctive action, emotional courage and learning to protect what matters without waiting until we're hurt enough to fight back.

August begins quietly on the surface, but beneath it a powerful story is already unfolding. In this special edition, I explore the thread connecting the recent Aquarius Full Moon with August's total solar and lunar eclipses, revealing a journey of revelation, construction and ultimately crossing into new territory. Along the way I share some of the recurring patterns I've been noticing—in the sky and in the wider world—and how they reflect the symbolism of Pluto, Jupiter and the eclipse season ahead. In particular I reference what's curently going on with Spain and Ceuta. Remember, last Sunday's forecast? I mentioned I had my eye on Spain, and that something was up, something was going on? I also link in the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction from the covid times, to where we are today and how there's some investigations about the covid messaging that we all received all those years ago. I'm not remotely suprised. The planets already described this Finally, I highlight the key astrological dates of August, offering practical guidance on when to build, communicate, launch and simply allow the bigger picture to unfold.

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do isn't to move forward... it's to pause long enough to remember who we really are. This New Moon in Cancer arrives alongside Mercury retrograde, inviting us to revisit old memories, family stories and emotional patterns—not to become trapped in the past, but to understand what it has been trying to teach us. Rather than rushing into something new, this lunation encourages us to build a stronger emotional foundation before taking the next step. In this video we explore: 🌙 Why this New Moon feels so reflective and restorative 🌙 Mercury retrograde's invitation to remember rather than react 🌙 The Sabian Symbol of the boats—and why it asks us not to miss the moment 🌙 Pallas Athena, Narcissus, Dejanira, Nessus and Icarus, and the deeper conversation they bring about wisdom, self-worth, responsibility and courage 🌙 How to move beyond victimhood without becoming rebellious for rebellion's sake 🌙 How to receive advice without taking it personally 🌙 How to cultivate genuine self-love without forgetting our care for others This isn't about choosing between yourself and everyone else. It's about finding the balance where both can flourish. Perhaps the greatest question this New Moon asks is not, "What should I do next?" But, "Who am I becoming as I make this choice?"

One little update for you all... Since January, I've been recording my weekday astrology forecasts here in our community. They've become part of my own daily rhythm, and, in many ways, they've helped me find my voice. Recording them every day has given me the confidence to simply sit down, look at the sky, and share what I'm noticing. I've realised recently that I'd love more people to have access to them. So, from this week onwards, my daily forecasts will also be published on YouTube. Nothing is changing here on Skool. I'll still post each forecast, and this will remain the place where we can discuss them, ask questions, share observations and practise thinking astrologically together. In fact, I hope those conversations become even richer. I've been reflecting a lot recently on the difference between information and practice. Astrology isn't just something we learn—it's something we live. Anyone can read about planetary aspects, but learning to recognise them in life, to discuss them, question them and apply them... that's a very different experience. That's what I hope we continue to build here. So, whilst the forecasts are going out into the wider world, this community remains the place where we can slow down, explore together and learn to think astrologically. Thank you for being part of this journey. Honestly, many of these forecasts only exist because of the encouragement, conversations and support you've all given me over the past few months. I'm excited to see where this next chapter leads us. With that in mind - here's Monday's forecast AND also a look at the week ahead. https://youtu.be/vTprwJt6NQo Lots of love, Louisa xx
