Week of 8.24.15

KAT'S WEEKLY OVERVIEW FOR AUGUST 24

Mondays tend to be tedious, but more so when the Moon is in Sagittarius. Who wants to put the harness back on and wear a serious expression in the middle of the summer when the Moon is in this jolly, party-hearty sign? That said, I’m feeling very positive about the week ahead. Maybe I’m just anticipating the exuberant vibes from the Sun/Jupiter meet-up on Wednesday, but I think this could be one of the better weeks we’ve had in a while. 

Go Big or Go Home!
When extravagant Jupiter teams up with the glorious Sun, it’s time to dream big! If not now, when?   The optimism and enthusiasm generated by this dynamic duo is contagious, inspiring us to believe in ourselves and take that brilliant idea to the next level. 

The Moon will be in serious, workaholic Capricorn (Tuesday and Wednesday), but the buoyant energy created by Sun/Jupiter is going to grease those wheels of industry.  Don’t be shy about stepping up and taking charge. Expect the Capricorn Moon to stimulate your inner CEO and the Sun/Jupiter union to provide you with a chance to show off your leadership, promote your agenda and expand your influence.

Words of Love?
Garrulous Mercury moves into sweet-talking Libra on Thursday, bringing out the silver-tongued devils in us all.  Some, to their own amazement, may find they’re suddenly able to articulate long-held amorous feelings to a loved one who may have been waiting a very. long. time. to hear them.  Others may find the finesse needed to move a stalled project or negotiation forward. Remember, Libra is the sign of diplomacy and compromise so that old adage holds especially true now: you can catch more flies with honey.

WEEKEND FORECAST
Dreamy and Boozy. Mix Saturday’s Full Moon (always a time of excitability and extremes) with romantic but dipsomaniacal Pisces, muddle it with quixotic, nebulous Neptune and you have the perfect cosmic cocktail for a lost weekend. Too many margaritas at dinner may mean missing out on more intoxicating possibilities later. Moderation is key if you want to avoid doing a face plant in the guacamole. Ideally, you’re looking to be to be stirred during this Full Moon, not shaken.
