Venus/Vesta
Carrying forward yesterday’s influences, Venus in harmony with Vesta suggests focus on an ideal/philosophy/area of exploration is supported by a relationship. It’s acceptable for you to be devoted to this, and it may even come off as charming. Too, this could be about the higher ideal of relationships – a new and exalted way to balance faith/exploration with what someone else wants. There’s a sense of beautiful justice as the story unfolds.
Pallas
Pallas into Virgo filters strategies through the lense of perfection. This is the extremely detailed strategy or the concise pattern that neatly connects A with B. Facts meet creativity and the goal is to find the ultimate solution.
Virgo’s purity factors into this. It’s about doing what’s best and finding the cleanest way to apply what you know. Integration is important – Pallas in this sign suggests picking out the most important details, discarding everything else and following that essential pattern which will (hopefully) create a finely-tuned system. Pallas helps you see how all the little parts fit together.
Obsessively detailed jobs will flourish under this transit, especially if they involve healing, fixing, upgrading, editing or specialised craftmanship.
Pallas will exit Virgo for Libra on November 4th, 2018.

Mercury/Venus is communication with a hint of romance or creativity. Shiny words are sweetened with the perfect touch of charm – great for sparkling conversation. The trine to Vesta suggests that a story, ideal or higher form of knowledge that you’ve been focusing on can be shared with others in the best possible way. Excellent if you’re trying to convince someone of something, or impress them with your wisdom. Also good for sharing a philosophy that you’re devoted to or telling a story. Note that this energy is focused but not intense – the vibe is bright and confident.
These are repeat aspects:
Mars/Ceres is motivated nurturing. Nurturing that means business. Focused actions drive the care and feeding of little things (no detail is missed). This is nurturing that’s aimed at getting something just right, or looking after someone for their own good. Not particularly cuddly but extremely effective.
So today is a good mix of bright, beautiful words and down-to-earth actions (Ceres is in Mercury-ruled Virgo). Big talk is easily followed by real efforts. This brings to mind a stern but caring nurse who distracts her patient with lovely stories while she dispenses medicine.

The First Quarter Square asks you to step into the light. There’s something to be proud of – something you can go public with. It may feel safer to keep it secret, because you think you can control what happens if you hold something back. But the time for that is past. You may need to expose what’s in the shadows, or put the spotlight on your hidden source of power. The idea of being in the spotlight may frighten you, but you know that hanging back feels inauthentic.
Mercury Rx/Venus indicate a favourable response to the review, question or examination. Asking again, or reconnecting, can result in some pleasantly sparkly interactions. Creatively, this aspect suggests that introspection or reviews can open up something fruitful.
This is the last aspect Mercury makes before it stations direct (on August 19th) and it repeats on September 3rd (at 25 deg). So you’re on the verge of a little breakthrough – progress is just around the corner and you’ll be having this conversation again. While the aspect itself is not a powerful one, what comes out of it (the social or creative reward) will be significant, even if it doesn’t seem that way in the moment.
If you’re feeling trapped by the tension of the First Quarter Square, consider reaching out to someone in a one-on-one capacity. The vibe may be feel light and inconsequential, but there’s more going on.
