The cosmos gifts us a rare moment of quiet this week as Chiron, the wounded healer, forms a harmonious trine with the radiant Leo Sun. This powerful alignment illuminates the places where we've been silenced, showing us exactly where healing needs to happen. Many of us carry deep wounds around self-expression—those childhood lessons that taught us putting ourselves first was somehow wrong or selfish. Now, the stars are offering cosmic permission to reclaim our voice and stand confidently in our power.

This healing journey feels deeply personal and introspective, yet it might also involve necessary confrontations or boundary-setting with those who've contributed to our wounding. Whether you're having internal dialogues or external conversations, the energy supports your authentic expression and growth. Remember that Chiron's mythology involves an eternal wound that transforms into wisdom—our healing isn't about "fixing" ourselves once and for all, but rather continuously leveling up our relationship with our wounds.

As the Sun glides into meticulous Virgo on the 22nd, accompanied by a New Moon, we're invited to channel our healing insights into practical intentions. Virgo energy excels at detailed planning and service-oriented action—consider setting specific health goals and writing them down with Virgoan precision. The New Moon offers a perfect reset point, not just for the coming month but for a full six-month cycle that will culminate with the Virgo Full Moon in March 2025. What healing journey can you begin now that will bear fruit by spring? Sometimes the most transformative healing comes through helping others—how might your service to the world become part of your path to wholeness? Whatever intentions you set, trust that this week's gentle cosmic climate is perfectly aligned to support your journey toward becoming more authentically yourself.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello and welcome to Pisces Moon Astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hi everyone, welcome to theweek of August 17th through
August 23rd.
And, unlike most weeks recently, we have a pretty quiet sky and

(00:24):
I don't know about you, butI'll take it.
I will take it.
I'm kind of tired of all thebig, you know.
Anyway, let's get into it.
So this is a week when we aregoing to be healing, and that
can mean a lot of things.
We'll talk about it.

(00:44):
But on August 18th, chiron thewounded healer is going to make
a beautiful trine with the sun,who will still be in Leo, and
then on the 22nd we get the sunmoving into Virgo and a new moon

(01:09):
there.
So it's a really interestingweek.
It's kind of bookended, withthe start of a profound healing
journey.
I think it's going to be aquiet and for most of us,

(01:30):
probably a low key kind of weekthat's a little bit more
introspective and internal thana lot of them have been.
But ultimately, I think this isgoing to be a really profound
week too.
So let's get into what all ofthis means.
Oh, and you know how I alwaysdo that part where it's like the
other stuff going on in the sky.
Yeah, there's not a whole lot.

(01:51):
I mean, we've got somecontinuing energies, but there's
not much else starting up newthis week.
Before I forget, I will take aminute and say thank you for
being here.
I am, as always, grateful thatyou take time out and listen to
my take on the cosmos.
It's really it's important tome and I hope that you find

(02:15):
benefit in it.
And if you do, I would love itif you would follow and give me
a five-star rating and, morethan anything, if you would
share the podcast with otherastro-minded people.
I would be so grateful.
So, with all of that said,let's get into what's going on.

(02:35):
So I think everybody probablyknows Chiron, right, the wounded
healer.
Chiron really often has to dowith childhood trauma and, in a
natal chart, almost 100% of thetime, that's what Chiron's about
.
Transiting.
Chiron is often about thoseearly life traumas, but it

(02:57):
doesn't have to be only that.
It could be something morerecent, some other kind of
woundedness that we'veexperienced in life.
But he is the wounded healer,right, and so the mythology is
that he gets a wound so horriblethat he literally gives up his

(03:19):
immortality he doesn't want todo eternity with this wound.
And for the rest of his life,though, he becomes a healer, and
usually we work through traumaof some kind with him and tend
to go on and mentor others insome way.
It's very interesting energy.

(03:40):
He's in Aries, so one of thethings you might consider
looking at this week is and thesun is going to help you do that
, but I'll get to that in just aminute you know in what ways
have you been silenced?
Have you been held back frombeing your true self?

(04:01):
Some of us, early on in life,we're taught that we're not
allowed to put ourselves first.
Right, it's not polite to youknow.
Do things for yourself ordemand things for yourself,
because that's selfish.
I have a feeling that thosekinds of early life lessons are

(04:22):
what a lot of us are going to belooking at this week, because
Aries is all about the self.
I know I always call him thetoddler of the zodiac, and
that's unfair a little bit, butit's true a little bit as well.
And so Aries is really about memyself, my identity, my wants,
my needs, my demands, and withChiron there, it's like where

(04:45):
has something in that, somethingin that need to stick up for
ourselves and get what we wantin life.
Where have we been silenced?
And often it's in those earlychildhood lessons.
But it can come from otherplaces Bosses silencing us at
work, putting us down, puttingour ideas down, lovers who, you

(05:10):
know, joke off our ideas orwhatever, or demand that they're
always first, those narcissistfriends we all have one of them
who make everything so muchabout their dramas that we don't
get our own needs met in thefriendship sometimes.
So we can come from anywhere,but it very often starts back in

(05:35):
childhood.
You know you're not the onlyperson in the universe Now, are
you, and it's like, well, Idon't know, but I'm an important
person in the universe, right?
So the sun in Leo still.
So, at the beginning of theweek the sun is still in Leo,
where he's in rulership and heis making that beautiful,

(05:57):
harmonious trine to Chiron.
So he's really like lightingour path to healing.
That is very, very simply.
I don't know, is that simple?
Well, anyway, that's what it is.
The sun is shining the light onwounds that need addressed,
ways that we need to healourselves so that we can stand

(06:20):
in our power and say no, youwill listen to my ideas.
I do have a voice, my needs domatter, and sometimes I actually
am the center of the universe,and while all of that can get
really murky when we have trauma, when we're coming from those
old tapes, the sun is shininglight so that we can see more

(06:43):
clearly.
Now, often, when I tell clientsthat there's time for healing,
it's a period of healing, and westart talking about what issues
I see in their charts, you know, and they start telling me what
those things all mean.
I often get met withfrustration, sadness, even anger
, because they're like oh mygosh, kate, I've already dealt

(07:05):
with all of this stuff.
I've done therapy for 20gazillion years and I already
did the ayahuasca and I did allthe healing things, and it gets
really frustrating to feel likeI have to do more, wait more,
though I will remind you thatChiron gets a wound that is

(07:30):
eternal.
So do we have to do more?
Yes, but rather than gettingfrustrated or angry or feeling
like what we've done in the pastwas a failure, think of it as
just leveling up and leveling upand continuing to level up.
Yes, we've done work beforemost of us, but this, with the

(07:54):
sun shining on and with Ariesinvolved, a lot of people feel
like, well, as long as I canmove forward and be productive,
then I'm good, right, what do Ineed to do?
And it's like, how about, ifyou move forward more, you more
loud and proud and standing inthe sun?
Because, remember, the sun isnot only lighting our way toward

(08:16):
this healing, but the sun is inLeo.
So we've got Aries wanting meto be the focus right, me, me,
me.
And we've got the sun in Leo,me, me, me.
And we've got the sun in Leo.
Leo's about leadership, royaltystanding in the spotlight.
So this is really not just thatfirst level healing.

(08:38):
This is that work that we do onourselves so that we come out
fierce.
We've got Leo the lion, and,and we've got the Aries ram, and
we want to come out strong andfierce.
And the beginning of this weekwe've got the energy to do that.
We've got the cosmic support.

(08:58):
So I think it's really reallygood.
Like I said, I think this weekis going to be a little bit more
internal.
Now, does that mean that youshouldn't confront somebody if
you're in the process of yourhealing journey?
You know you're in the middleof all of this energy and you're

(09:20):
like, oh, it's my mom, it's mydad, it's my lover, it's my
friend, it's my sister, it's myboss, it's that person and I
need to tell them.
Yes, then do so.
While I'm saying there's a lotof internal work, I do think
that's where most of our energyis going to be focused, inside

(09:44):
us.
But we've had so much energythis year about standing in our
power.
We just got out of a Mercuryopposition to Pluto.
Before that we had Mars, who,by the way, is the ruler of
Aries.
He opposed Pluto on April 24th.

(10:04):
So this sense of standing inour power has been up for us all
year long really, and it'sgoing to be coming up in some
interesting ways, moving forwardas well.
We're not done with this powerstuff yet.
So if part of your healing meanshaving that conversation,

(10:25):
having that argument, havingthat fight, cutting people off,
you know, setting thoseboundaries, remember, we're
still dealing with thatNeptune-Saturn stuff going on
where oh yeah, that would beAries right At this point,
they're still in Aries andthat's about looking at existing
structures and seeing what weneed to dissolve, what we need

(10:47):
to rebuild structures, andseeing what we need to dissolve,
what we need to rebuild.
So, even though this healingthing is going to have a lot of
internal stuff.
I also think that we may needto be speaking.
You know, there may beconversations that need to be
had.
Now I'm making it like there'ssome other person at fault,
right?

(11:07):
The boss, the mom, the dad, thewhoever it can be ourselves.
We put heavy trips on ourself.
So, especially if your firsthouse is involved with this at
all, you know we're cruel toourselves and we might need to
sit down and have a littlechurch chat with me myself and I

(11:29):
, which would be very, veryAries now, wouldn't it?
So that's the energy thatstarts our week.
Then, around the 22nd, the sunmoves into Virgo and, oh my
goodness, is that not a wholeother vibe?
But here's what I find really,really interesting about it.

(11:50):
Oh, and, happy solar return toall of you.
Virgo suns out there.
Here's what I find really,really interesting about this.
You know, we all know that sideof Virgo, that's the
administrator, right, I know?
Yeah, what we really mean tosay is like picky.
We all know that pickyadministrator kind of Virgo.

(12:14):
But actually Virgo is ofservice, it's maybe the most
service-oriented sign, and it'salso all about health and
healing.
So what's interesting aboutthis is we're getting the new
moon on the 22nd.
So a new beginning, that lunarcycle starting up, time to set

(12:39):
our intentions, time to considermanifesting.
And what should we bemanifesting?
Well, health healing, whetherthat's sound mental health,
emotional stability, physicalhealing, whatever it is.
This is the perfect time to setthose intentions, because we've

(13:03):
just come out of that beautifultrine.
We know what we're working on.
We may have already cleared itup by the time we get to the end
of the week new moon, but wemay not.
It may be an ongoing processnow that our way has been lit.
But now we can set theintentions.
And I want to say one quickthing here.

(13:24):
Virgo is really about being ofservice.
Sometimes the most healingthing we can do is volunteer, go
, help others, be of service topeople.
The community, heaven knows.
Right now our world needs usall.
Whatever your thing is theenvironment, homeless people,

(13:47):
battered women, whatever yourthing is, people, battered women
whatever your thing is you'reneeded, we're all needed.
And sometimes that act ofservice where we really get
involved and become part of thegood, it's so healing and
empowering and can be sobeautiful.

(14:10):
The new moon in Virgo is a timeto maybe set the intention to be
more involved to heal others.
Chiron becomes the healer right.
Something to think about,anyway, moving on, the other
intentions, of course, to setare just what health goals do
you have?
Again, this can be spiritualhealth, it can be whatever you

(14:34):
want to define health, as it'stime to set those intentions Now
.
Virgo likes details, so writedown your intentions, journal
about it, set a schedule,outline your new diet, whatever
it is, you know.
Get into the details of it,because Virgo loves doing that

(14:56):
and is really good at it and canmaybe help us stay on track by
helping us, you know, spell itout, make a plan, put it on the
calendar, whatever it is, so wecan use that side of Virgo too.
And the other thing that I wantto remind everybody we always,
always, always think of thelunar cycle as being about a

(15:19):
month, and it is.
It's about a month until wecome to the next new moon, and
so we can usually make reallygood progress toward our goals
during that first month.
But that's not actually theonly way to look at the lunar
cycle.
It's actually complete when weget the full moon in Virgo.

(15:46):
So we start with the new moonin Virgo and then we go till we
get the full moon in Virgo, andthat gives us about six months.
This one is going to happen onMarch 3rd, 2026, of course, and
we will get that culminatingpoint when it's actually time to
complete this cycle and move on.

(16:09):
To complete this cycle and moveon.
So set your intentions forhealth healing service may be a
part of that and definitely lookat those intentions as being
for a month, you know, reallygetting a foundation.
But also think bigger picture.
How do you move forward?
So, if this month is reallyabout working on diet, exercise,

(16:34):
therapy, you know, whatever itis, how does that become more?
How do you increase that sothat it's a six-month goal?
So look at where you want to bein a month.
What's reasonable, where canyou get to in a month?
But then where will you takethat moving forward?

(16:57):
I love it.
I love it a lot.
I think this is a quieter formost of us.
Some of us are going to beyelling at people I'm just going
to say it, right, but for mostof us this is going to be a
quieter month, a moreintrospective month, but I think
it is so, so profound and Ithink we come out so much better

(17:19):
for it and it's part of thattheme we've been dealing with
all year how do we become moreauthentically who we are and I
think this week is a big part ofgetting there.
So I hope that's helpful.
Yeah, I hope that's helpful.
