Acknowledging Recent Energies
Last week we experienced a Full Moon in Aquarius which stirred another wave of intense and unpredictable energies. Many have faced loss, trauma, and deep struggles as these new energies continue to emerge. This week, the vibrations of Uranus remain palpable as it stations retrograde on September 1st, amplifying its influence once again.
Uranus: The Disruptor and The Awakener
Uranus is a complex force, embodying both disruption and awakening:
• The Disruptor brings jolting changes, chaos, and unexpected events.
• The Great Awakener speeds up our evolutionary process, pushing us towards expanded consciousness and new paradigms.
Uranus operates by sending explosive waves that burst through our field, bypassing time and accelerating events, which can lead to both trauma and illumination. Its ultimate goal is to free us from one paradigm and usher us into another.
Focus on Virgo and Health
With the Sun and Vesta in Virgo, it's an ideal time to prioritize health and embodied presence. Virgo energy encourages us to nurture our bodies and attend to our well-being. Consider incorporating mindful practices that help you align with this energy. Notice where you are likely to hold tension or contraction. Connect with nature, focus on your heart chakra, (sometimes placing your hand on your heart area helps you connect better) and use your breath to integrate thoughts of love into your body.
Consider these practices:
• Connect with nature
• Incorporate mindful activities that will help you align and balance
• Notice where you hold tension or contraction
• Use your breath to integrate thoughts of love into your body
• Focus on your heart chakra (placing your hand on your heart area can help)
Mercury Stationing Direct
On August 28th, Mercury stations direct at 21° Leo after a strong retrograde period. This signals a powerful moment to take action, initiate new ventures, and engage in important meetings and conversations.
Mercury's aspects as it stations direct:
• Trine with Chiron in Aries
• Sextile with Jupiter and Mars in Gemini
• Square with Uranus in Taurus
Mercury's aspects to Chiron, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars are pivotal to quantum leaps. These aspects impulse a fiery surge of energy that can support your evolutionary endeavors. It's time to move forward and seize opportunities that arise.
Embrace the forward momentum and ask yourself: "What have I learned, and how have I become wiser during this Mercury retrograde?"
Remember, you are the Illumined Leader—the Quantum Creator of your reality.
Every thought and idea has the potential to shift worlds in multiple dimensions. As Mercury stations direct, be responsible for your thoughts and embrace this opportunity to bring your visions into action.
Venus Oppositions: Saturn, Neptune, and Transition into Libra
This week, Venus transitions from an opposition with Saturn to one with Neptune before entering Libra and heading toward a conjunction with Juno and the South Node.
This powerful progression supports you in breaking free from old relationship models and patriarchal structures. You may feel compelled to review and release outdated patterns in personal, business, and friendship relationships. This energy is here to promote release and movement for all relationships, and will be emphasized throughout the rest of 2024.
Tune into your heart’s truth to guide you towards relationships that embody new feminine models of leadership and oneness.

This week offers a potent mix of energies: Uranus stationing retrograde urges us to continue embracing change, while Mercury stationing direct propels us forward with renewed momentum. The Sun and Vesta in Virgo emphasize health as a non-negotiable aspect of embodied presence, while Venus's journey through oppositions and into Libra provides an opportunity to realign our relationships with deeper truths and a more authentic reality.
Remember, you are the conscious creator of your reality. Use these cosmic energies to catalyze your quantum leaps. Stay focused and centered, listening to your inner wisdom, and from that place, take inspired action.
With Cosmic Love,
Raquel Spring.
