[00:00:00] Hello, spirit led business friends. It's Asara your soul centered business coach and mystical demystifier of all things esoteric and financially gainful. Welcome to the mystical business coach podcast, where I share the most impactful mystical tools like astrology and taro to make planning and running your business more magical, more lucrative, and most importantly more fun. All right.
[00:00:24] Let's dive straight into the transits this week. Our first transit is so lovely. Venus at 27 degrees and 15 minutes of Virgo will form a trine with Uranus at 27 degrees and 15 minutes of tourists. Uh, Venus trine with Uranus is a breath of fresh air softly blown over our nervous systems. Venus rules, the body and touch and Uranus rules, the nervous system But when it's in such a gentle trine with Venus, Uranus can relax a bit. If you've been on high alert and lean more in the direction of excitement than anxiety. You're an S will always be searching for stimulation in some form.
[00:01:04] And Venus is pleasure seeking this. Trine may push us all the way out the door, searching for unusual connections and other forms of entertainment. So that's right. This is a goofing off playing hooky type of transit. And I'm here for it. This trine is about fun and even excitement. On Tuesday, the cosmos wants you to play hooky. If you absolutely can't, then just know that there's a blast radius around this transit, so you can fit it in when you can.
[00:01:31] But part of the great pleasure of playing hooky is that moment where you get to look your to-do list in the face and say, you know what? The rest of today is for me. So get to it. On Wednesday, August 28th at 4:25 PM. Eastern Venus at 29 degrees. And eight minutes of Virgo will form an opposition to Neptune at 29 degrees and eight minutes of Pisces. This transit can have good results. It can have bad results and it can have mixed results depending on who you are and where you're at right now. Also, depending on how it hits your natal chart.
[00:02:06] So be sure to check that out, if that's something that you, uh, that you do. On the plus side, Venus, the planet that rules values may lock eyes with Neptune. Uh, the planet, the rules, ideals, and grant you the ability to tap into your most romantic idealistic self for a wash of beautiful feelings of hope. This kind of energy is amazing for just general good mood, which is really important in keeping your momentum going while feeling okay.
[00:02:35] Instead of stressed out. This is supported by the fact that less than an hour later at 5:14 PM Eastern mercury stations direct hooray. So this blissful Venus Neptune moment may be compounded by a lifting of the fog. That's been on your brain, scrambling things around for about a month. I'll talk more about that in a second, but first let's talk about how venous opposition to Neptune can go wrong. It is a transit that unlocks our tendency towards martyrdom. Yuck. Uh, sometimes we can get wrapped up in our ideals to the point where we start to see ourselves as the ultimate victim. Sacrificing so much while getting nothing in return. Murderdom is usually something you hear about in relationships, but it can cause problems in business as well, especially in the form of statements like, well, I guess nobody else is going to help me, so I'll just keep doing it all myself. If you hear these words popping into your head are actually coming out of your mouth and believe me. They have certainly come out of mine. Pay attention. It is entirely possible that you are reacting to a truth there that in reality, you are under supported and overworked, you may feel like you have to be superwoman. And no, I'm not only talking to women here, but this is a very common experience for those of us who are socialized as female, um, as girls and then women.
[00:03:55] So that's what I'm talking to you right now. So I have a real question for you. Do you really need to be a Saint. I know there is so much pressure from all sides for you to take responsibility for literally everything around you. But do you really need to do so, especially when it requires you to sacrifice so much. Are others actually able to help you? What would happen if you asked for help? What would happen if you weren't perfect. And strong 100% of the time. I've been there. It's really hard not to murder yourself when that's the example that's been set for us socially, especially for women, and then especially, especially for mothers. And nowadays, many of us are juggling work with caregiving and our relationships with our partners and trying to squeeze in the occasional shower.
[00:04:45] And it's maddening and frustrating. And we're being told you're a boss ass bitch, take control. You can handle it, girl boss, et cetera, et cetera. And so we take on way more responsibility than those around us. Way more than the historical expectation of anyone, including women and way more. Than we can while remaining healthy. And then we start to feel sorry for ourselves.
[00:05:08] And it makes sense. We are in a fucked up situation. But here's where things go further awry. Sometimes our reaction to this is to double down. Take on more and more with an attitude of, well, if I'm going to be the only one, getting this shit done. Then I'll just do all of it, I guess. And that's martyrdom and it does a couple things.
[00:05:28] It puts us in an even tougher spot, through rejecting help from others and ceasing to hold others responsible and accountable for holding up their end of the bargain, whether that's our partner, who isn't stepping up to wash the dishes or watch the kids when you need them to. Or a collaborator or employee who's just not cutting it. And then it also puts strain on those relationships because we become resentful and it will definitely start to come out in your words and your actions. So if you're feeling like you are sacrificing everything and those around you are having a much easier time. Talk about it.
[00:06:03] It doesn't have to be with anyone you're resenting right now, but maybe an openhearted friend or maybe a therapist, you need to be able to talk about how you feel and talk through the worst case scenario. If you ask for help and also allow yourself to imagine. The best case scenario. Okay. And at 5:14 PM on Wednesday, mercury, finally stations direct at 21 degrees and 24 minutes of Leo.
[00:06:29] This is great news for all of us who have been struggling through extra muddle bots for the past month, not to belabor the point too hard, but this is such a wonderful moment for clear headedness and focus work. So really take advantage of that. And then on Thursday, we're going to have an epic trine between Venus and Pluto. The planet Harold's transformation and rules.
[00:06:52] Well, messy drama. Much of the time this trine is going to be supportive, but big because the intensity of Pluto tends to set off the emotionality of Venus. So brace for some big feelings. Although the training nature of this transit means that they won't necessarily be bad or overwhelming, they'll be raw and deep.
[00:07:13] And any project you start around Thursday or any communication you do through marketing or client work will be infused with that intensity. Just be aware, especially if you are a private person that this transit makes us want to bare our souls. If you're a spirit led entrepreneur, then my assumption is that you might already be doing quite a lot of that, but if raw realness and vulnerability, isn't part of your brand or how you express yourself to clients, keep an eye on how real you're getting with people and get ready to have a moment where you dial it back. If you suddenly feel the need to be highly unmasked with someone or with an audience that might not be used to seeing you that way. On the other hand, if part of your brand is authenticity and realness, then lean in and turn it up to 11. Venus wants us to be seen, to be heard and to be loved truly and deeply for who we are.
[00:08:04] So wear your heart on your sleeve and anything you create from a place of raw authenticity, whether it's art or real or product delivery, coaching, running a group session, anything you do while flowing with that emotional intensity will resonate with your clients on a deep level. Be honest, say the truth about what you think, even if it feels controversial, be every inch as weird as you know, you are. Deep down. Just be safe.
[00:08:31] Okay. That's where we'll draw the line. Be safe. And be reasonably kind, like don't provoke anybody in a targeted, cruel way. Okay. Be cool.
[00:08:42] Then we end the week with a busy little Sunday, also September 1st, which kicks off with Uranus stationing retrograde at 11:17 AM. At 27 degrees and 15 minutes of Taurus. Uranus is retrograde for about five months at a time. So this retrograde will continue until January 30th, 2025. It happens roughly once a year.
[00:09:03] So just shy of half of every year. Uranus is in retrograde. Uranus is the planet that rules our nervous system. As well as innovation, genius and explosions. Literally and figuratively. I love pointing that out. So when you're in a stations retrograde, we tend to either run into more challenges with anxiety and or explosions. Um, or our innovative explosively interested. And curious energy turns inward. This can be a time of intense investment in ourselves and it rapid growth that comes from it, or just a slight uptick in self-interest and focus on your own wellbeing. So just be aware, uh, no hard and fast to do use here.
[00:09:43] This is our regular scheduled five months of Uranus retrograde. No worries. Next up still on Sunday at 6:22 PM Eastern time, we've got a moon square to Uranus, which normally I wouldn't pay too close attention to, but it is the day that you're in a station's retrograde. So I want to explore a little of the meaning there. Uranus will be in tourist still.
[00:10:05] And the moon is in Leo. So when the moon forms a square to Uranus, tensions can build to an exploding point and sudden changes may occur in your emotional landscape. You're in us, makes us anxious and the moon rules, our emotions. And Square's usually create some sort of challenge. So this is one of the more literal transits. Emotional anxiety can impact your momentum and gum up your flow.
[00:10:30] And of course, Uranus just stationed retrograde. So all of this is further compacted inward. This is called, bottling it up, and it is a surefire way to eventually set off that explosive tendency of Uranus, like an emotional pressure cooker. The best way to release this pressure to safe levels and not all at once.
[00:10:49] And a big wild explosion is to start talking about what's going on and you can see that's kind of a theme this week. Talking sharing, connecting with people with your authenticity, um, really getting things off of your chest. So lean into that this week. And finally on Sunday at 8:08 PM. Pluto is ingressing into the sign of Capricorn. According to tropical astrology. I don't always harp on aggressions, but Pluto moves very, very slowly.
[00:11:20] So when it does ingress, it's kind of a big deal. A little backstory to give you context on this transit. According to tropical astrology, Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 and stayed put until it exited in January of this year, 2024. So that was 15 years in Capricorn. Um, to then ingress into Aquarius, then Pluto in Aquarius, went retrograde on May 2nd and will continue to station retrograde until October 11th of this year. Because of the effect that retrogrades have on how celestial bodies move through the sky, where they can seem to take steps backwards.
[00:11:57] Pluto will be moving from Aquarius back into Capricorn this week on Sunday, September 1st. This will be the final time we see Pluto in Capricorn in our lives. Pluto in Capricorn gives us some extra support around our big ambitions and our impulse to move towards gathering more and more prestige, Capricorn rules, professionalism, and the strategic pursuit of power. When Pluto is in Aquarius, we shift to more innovative energy and achieve transformation through visionary behavior and even rebelliousness.
[00:12:31] It's a very different vibe and it's definitely more my speed, but even that's the case for you too, I say, appreciate the spinal short stint in Capricorn. By getting strategic. Okay. That is quite enough for this week. If you want a much tighter version the weekly transit sent to your inbox, the link to sign up for my mystical briefings newsletter is in the show notes.
