The Astrology of August 11-17: A Once-in-a-Decade Week for Love & Luck

Sat Nam Loves, Myrah here.

If you've been feeling like the universe has been testing you lately, this week is your cosmic reward. We're entering what astrologers are calling a "once-in-a-decade" portal of love and luck - and I want to make sure you're positioned to receive every bit of it.

The Rare Cosmic Setup

Monday, August 11th brings us not one, but THREE major shifts:

• Mercury stations direct in Leo (communication clarity returns!)
• Saturn sextiles Uranus (innovative breakthroughs in stable structures)
• The 11-11 portal opens (manifestation amplified)

Tuesday, August 12th delivers the crown jewel:

• Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer - This is the big one, loves. The two most benefic planets in astrology joining forces in Jupiter's sign of exaltation. This hasn't happened in Cancer since 2013, and won't again until 2037.

What This Means for You

Monday's Energy: The Great Turning Point

Mercury going direct in Leo means those communication blocks, tech glitches, and mixed messages that have been plaguing us since July finally start clearing. But this isn't just any Mercury direct - it's happening at 4° Leo while Venus and Jupiter prepare to meet at 14° Cancer. The consecutive numbers (4-5) and consecutive signs (Cancer-Leo) create incredible forward momentum.

Your Monday Action: Plant seeds of abundance. Write down what you want to grow in your life. Take one concrete action toward a goal that lights you up. The 11-11 portal energy makes this a powerful manifestation day.

Tuesday's Magic: The Venus-Jupiter Conjunction

This is where the "once-in-a-decade" energy peaks. Venus (love, beauty, relationships, money) merges with Jupiter (expansion, luck, wisdom) in Cancer (home, family, nurturing, emotional security).

What this unlocks:

• Unexpected financial opportunities flowing through relationships
• Deep healing in family dynamics
• Your home becoming a source of abundance
• Romantic relationships taking a beautiful turn
• Creative projects gaining momentum and support

Your Tuesday Ritual: Focus on gratitude for what's already abundant in your life. Nurture your closest relationships. Make your space more beautiful. Trust that what you need is already within reach.

The Geodetic Impact: Where You'll Feel It Most

If you live on the East Coast (Boston to Virginia Beach), you're sitting directly on the Venus-Jupiter conjunction line - expect extra blessings around home, family, and financial flow.

Western Canada and Pacific Northwest folks are on the Mercury direct line - communication breakthroughs and relationship clarity are your gifts this week.

The Week's Unfolding

Wednesday-Thursday: Mercury makes supportive connections with Mars (twice!), giving you courage for those important conversations you've been avoiding.

All Week Long: Saturn and Uranus continue their supportive dance, helping you innovate your systems and structures with wisdom rather than chaos.

How to Work With This Energy

For Entrepreneurs:

This is prime time for launching something from the heart. Cancer energy rewards authentic, nurturing approaches to business. If you've been holding back on sharing your story or your deeper why, this week supports that vulnerability.

For Mothers:

The Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer is especially powerful for you. This energy supports creating more harmony between your personal desires and your family life. It's not either/or - it's both/and.

For Creators:

Leo Mercury direct + Cancer Venus-Jupiter = creative projects that come from the heart and connect with people's souls. Share your work. The audience is ready to receive it.

Your Week-Long Practice

Monday: Set intentions and take action
Tuesday: Practice gratitude and nurture relationships
Wednesday-Thursday: Have courageous conversations
Friday-Weekend: Integrate and celebrate what's shifted

The Deeper Message

This week is teaching us that abundance isn't something we chase - it's something we cultivate from what's already here. The most powerful manifestations this week will come from appreciating and expanding what you already have, not from starting completely over.

Your reflection question: What is the most abundant way I could approach this situation?

Trust that this cosmic support is here because you're ready for it. The universe doesn't waste good astrology on people who aren't prepared to receive it.

Ready to make the most of this rare cosmic gift?

Hit reply and tell me: What are you most excited to nurture and grow this week?

In cosmic abundance,

Myrah

P.S. Remember, this Venus-Jupiter conjunction energy lasts well beyond this week - but the seeds you plant now determine how the abundance unfolds over the next 12 years. Make them count.
