It’s Time to Release Whatever Is Holding You Back
ZORA explains the astrology of August 3–9, 2020
Monday morning greets us with an Aquarius full moon at 11 degrees, asking us to look at what’s come to fruition since the Aquarius new moon in late January. Release any limiting beliefs and emotions keeping you stagnant and unnecessarily silent by writing them down and burning the paper. Google what works for where you live and what you have. Now is the time for us to let go of ideals and groups that no longer fit in the bigger picture and the future we’re building.
Later on, Mercury (in Cancer) makes its final aspect and opposes Saturn (retrograde in Capricorn), leading to serious talks about what’s been the norm and what’s next in your relations.

Collectively, we are speaking and writing from the heart. This is a good time to gather client testimonials or show appreciation. It’s a nice season to work on self-promotion and overcome fears around creativity and self-expression.
On Friday, as the Pisces moon goes void after clashing with Venus (in Gemini), we can start to…
