Aquarius
August will be a very peculiar month. You are very lucky in love but only on the very first day of August, which is a great way to start a new month. It’s a great vibration for money, opportunities and everything else you wish for. Mercury will be retrograding, and when this master of communication gets into this motion, we here on Earth feel like everything is going backwards instead of going forward. The events don’t unfold with the same accuracy and speed. We tend to be more forgetful and confused, feeling like no matter how much effort we make to reach our goals or have our tasks done, we hardly succeed. Astrologers agree that this is not a good or positive vibration to launch a new project or to sign a contract under. The order at this time is to use the ‘RE’ as much as possible in your daily activities, such as Re-think, RE-do, RE-search, RE-make, Re-confirm, RE-view and so on… and wait to launch projects or initiate new ventures when Mercury is back in it’s direct motion. Mercury starts retrograding on August 2nd and is back direct on August 28th. I like to allow 7 days before and 7 after the period to make sure the energy is distant and faded in order to start new projects, sign important contracts and make major life decisions. Mercury will retrograde for the first 6 days of August in your area of finances… so don’t expect to get paid if anyone owes you money, but after the 8th, Mercury will drive your relationships CRAZY dear Aquarius. Expect for all kinds of miscommunications and misunderstandings. If you are in a relationship, make sure every conversation is clear and direct; don’t leave any room for misinterpretations. The good side of all of this is that you can bump into an ex and it could go both ways, either you fall in love again or it’s just a ‘hi and good-bye’ moment in passing. Parallel to this planetary event, the planet Mars, which is responsible for the energy that moves us to initiate, to get started, to take action and to reach out for our goals is connecting with many planets, some connections good and some bad, raising a rush like energy to get things done, to start something up and to even be aggressive if we have to, in order to get the job done. People tend to act impetuously under Mars vibration. Well, well, well…This combination feels to me like turning the engine of your car on and trying to drive with the emergency handbrake pulled. So we are going to have a lot of noise and much blah, blah, blah; arguments, debates, but no solution, no deals will be made and if so, further down the line they will have to be reworked. This is not a positive aspect for the negotiation of the US debt, and it’s not positive for the market and the financial crises we are undergoing. “President Barack Obama said the US was 'running out of time' to reach a deal on raising the country's debt ceiling to avert a possible early August default. “ The president should rush with this decision or this negotiation will get aggravated if they procrastinate until August 2nd or later. Mars in Cancer turns his aggression and rushed energy to the matters of housing, family and emotions, raising the sensibility, making us act rashly and mindlessly when mad but it also brings about the mood to fix our homes and make it cozier and warmer. Mars enters Cancer on August 3rd, and remains in this sign until September 18th. Mars is the planet of sex as well, so take advantage of this high libido vibration and enjoy every moment next to someone you love in a cozy, homey surrounding. Mars will transit your area of health and daily activities, making this a time when you may be overloaded with work tasks. In your work place you will experience more disagreements than ever with co-works. That added with Mercury retrograding could make your office place a battlefield. Don’t schedule any surgeries during this time. If you can, postpone it, but if your doctor thinks it is an emergency, choose one of the following days to schedule it on: the 3rd, 4th, 17th or 18th of August. Venus will be transiting the magnificent Leo most of the month of August, indicating that the best way to protect our money during this time of uncertainty is turning your investments into GOLD, solid gold. August has been the best time for love dear Aquarius, until the 21st. If you are single looking for love you may find it; if you are single looking for variety, you will have that option also. For temporarily attached Aquarius, because I know you don’t believe in monogamy, it’s a romantic moment to share with the one you are with, so plan a romantic candlelit dinner with hugs and kisses lying on comfy bed sheets… Neptune retrograding is back to Aquarius on August 4th. This is your last chance to learn the value of fraternity. Neptune is back to your sign, giving you the last opportunity to make your life more spiritual and teaching you to value unconditional love. Most Aquarius are not prejudice at all, they believe we are all one and the same, but if you flee from the rules, you may need to use this very last opportunity to understand we are all part of the wholeness and we are interconnected with the same energy. Look inwards and find your true essence. Your intuition will be super strong on the 3rd, 4th and 5th, and you may find a way out for any health problem that has been distressing you. On the 8th Mercury will be driving you crazy, and you can double its messy retrograding moment… it feels like you are retrograding along with it. Shush! Don’t even talk! From the 8th through the 12th, be very careful with machinery and accidents in your work area. Some of you may need surgery but skip these days if possible, please. The full moon on August 13th, at 20º Aquarius, can be translated into brotherhood and solidarity. This is an amazing full moon for Aquarius, in your sign. Time to have fun! Single Aquarius, you may change status during this full moon. On August 21st, the goddess of love and money moves to Virgo and we become very worried about money. In love, we want perfection and clarity. It’s also a good time to take care of our health and appearance. She stays in Virgo until September 14th Love now becomes a matter of life and death. In other words, you love with passion and intensity, and you may spend more time wrapped in sheets with someone special of course, than at your office desk. Your partner could be in great financial shape, willing to help you or even pay your bills, if you needed it, dear Aquarius. Are you experiencing any financial trouble? Venus will help you to find a solution. If you are undergoing a divorce settlement you can use Ivana Trump’s famous quote: “Don’t get mad, get it all” However skip today the 21st, for a romantic date; you may see people through pink tinted lenses and reality will be far and away from your perception. You are so spaced out on the 22nd, dear Aquarius; use the day to create and do things that you only need the right side of your brain for, the side that is more intuitive and inspirational. Objectivity is not your best skill today. The king of our galaxy, the Sun, moves to Virgo on the 23rd, the sign that rules the material word, the working class, health and organization. With the Sun along with Venus in your area of other people’s money, you are really serious about getting it all from your partner. There will be more focus on finances in general. The new Moon on August 28th is at 5º Virgo and it is aligned with Pluto. Both the Sun and the moon will receive good vibrations from Pluto and during this new moon, Mercury goes direct, so we may see the light at the end of the tunnel, and some solutions will take place. I like this new moon in Virgo because it has the power to inspire us to reorganize our lives in every detail helping us to recreate new rules and make a great evolution based on lessons learned. Despite their conflicting points of view, Republicans and Democrats may agree just to solve the problems that hurt their mutual interests It is a good time to start a new life, to begin a new chapter. This New moon can really make a change in your financial status. It’s a good time to apply for a mortgage or work with some investors to partner together on a business project. Jupiter enters a period of retrograding as well, from August 30th to December 25th. This is not a time to expect for growth on the material plane; the action of Jupiter is reversed so the emphasis is upon inner awareness and inner growth. It is a good time to take spiritual or philosophical courses with the objective of gaining a better perspective on life. Don’t buy any property during this time. Later in the year, in December, you will find a better deal. My philosophy toward a hurdle moment is: when you can’t beat the universe, when you can’t change the unchangeable, ACCEPT, BEND and find new maneuvers to survive. We need to go through all of this to evolve! This is what makes us stronger and better human beings. The order in August is: RE, RE, RE, RE, RE, and instead of complaining, muttering, and nagging, RE-organize your plans and projects, make them better… think further…and don’t act rashly.
