We had a whole lot more to say about this week’s astrology than what made it into this video. 😂

We originally recorded a big section on the **Mars–Jupiter square**, then got interrupted and paused the recording. When we came back, that entire first part of the video had vanished. Gone. Apparently Mercury wasn’t finished with us yet.

So, we pick things up with **Mars square Neptune** as we move through the space between August’s two eclipses.

Mars square Neptune can bring fatigue, overwhelm and the frustrating feeling that you should be doing something without being entirely sure what that something is. But it can also be deeply creative and inspirational—and sometimes the most productive response is to stop pushing and give yourself some room.

From there, we move into a fascinating Monday with **Mercury trine Saturn and Venus sextile Jupiter**, followed by several unusually quiet days with the Moon in Scorpio. That quiet gives us some space to go inward, think about boundaries and protection, and process what eclipse season has already stirred up.

Later in the week, **Venus opposes Saturn**, bringing relationships, values, people pleasing and boundaries into sharper focus.

And then Leo season has one final surprise for us.

Before the Sun enters Virgo on Saturday, it crosses the **South Node at 29° Leo**—one last opportunity to release some of the baggage we've accumulated before we get a much-needed return to Earth energy.
