The energy on Friday intensifies before noon and begins with Mercury stationing retrograde at 12:45AM. Much to-do is made about Mercury retrograde but in fact, every planet, other than Venus and Mars spends more days per year retrograde than Mercury (85). This is why we must take a look at different angles in astrology. When a planet is retrograde, we can expect a detour on plans related to the planet, which in this case, is communication and our inner psyche. The main wave will come until August 11 and final waves will be gone by August 25. Be careful and considerate when driving because we are more prone to mental mistakes. Electronics can malfunction and it is not a good time to buy new ones so wait till after the 11th.

The moon moves from Aries to Taurus at 3:59AM pulling our emotional bodies from primarily considering ourselves and new things toward routines and consolidation. Taurus is symbolized by the bull and prefers the stability provided by standardization. We are in the second day of the Third Quarter moon phase during the third quarter phase of the astrological year. We will have a second helping of this in a month so try not to get too attached to one way of doing things but don’t sit around because, like with Mercury retrograde, there is wisdom to be gained.

Lastly, Mercury retrograde makes sextile to Venus at 9:37AM. This energy can make for a fantastic Friday despite the challenges surrounding us. Sextiles are positive and bring an easing. Mercury relates to our inner psyche and communication. Venus is about relationships or how we choose what we like or dislike. Putting this together, we can experience flowing social conversation, compromise and agreement or overall harmonious interactions. Appreciation of beauty is recommended, with an emphasis on appreciation vs criticism. Today or this weekend may be a good time to go to an amusement park or art show.
