With the Sun in Leo squaring Jupiter in Taurus at the beginning of this week, Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what each star sign can expect
This week opens with the Sun in Leo squaring Jupiter in Taurus on August 6, asking us to examine our physical realities with objectivity and neutrality. The Sun in Leo may want to look at the world through the lens of the ego; while Jupiter, the planet that expands things, may want to make the lessons or problems in our world much larger than what it actually is. When the tendency of exaggeration or over-indulgence arises, stay connected to what is real with the mantra “nothing more, nothing less”.
An unexpected development may come to light on August 9, as Venus in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus. The surprise that emerges may have us contemplate what it is we truly value, as well as what needs changing in our lives in order to live said values. The same “square off” dynamic happened this year in the first week of July and will occur again the last week of September. An invitation to reflect on frictions that came up around a month ago, and contemplate how the story of change is unfolding in your life until the end of September. The same day also brings us Mercury in Virgo trine Jupiter in Taurus, which welcomes practical action and thoughtful communications. With the blessings of Jupiter, we are supported to say what needs to be said. On this day, trust that conversations will translate and serve their purpose well.
