Aries
August will be a very peculiar month.
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.
For you dear Aries, Mercury retrograde could create some reverse affect in your investments. Is not a time to buy or sell or make any changes in your portfolio of investments.
However you can reconnect with a lost lover… and you may reconsider giving your relationship another chance.
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 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, your ruler planet, enters Cancer on August 3rd, and remains in this sign until September 18th.
Mars may induce a passive-aggressive behavior for Aries, masking real feelings of vulnerability.
At this time, the action will be focused on your family and your domestic area. Aries will be motivated to work harder when at home; you may decide to repair something in your home or at least move the furniture around or change the decoration.
You won’t be able to relax when in your home.
Some Aries may get into quarrels with family members. Try to avoid the tantrums and other childish manifestations dear Aries and think twice before you act. Be careful with fire and plumbing problems during this time.
Today, the 3rd, after entering the sign of Cancer, your ruler the planet Mars makes a perfect aspect with Neptune. Time to trust the universe and design the dream life you want for yourself. You can trust others and trust your intuition today.
This is a good day to meditate and connect with the divine.
On Aug 4th, your words are sharp and clever. This is a good day to communicate what you want from others. It is perfect to network with your friends and family.
Neptune retrograding is back to Aquarius on August 4th. This is your last chance to learn the value of fraternity. Are you valuing your friends with respect and affection? Put some thought into this, dear Aries.
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. Venus in your area of love has been providing a romantic playful moment.
On the 7th, 16th and 21st you are in the mood to live a beautiful love story. You are very creative and your work will be honored on the first twenty-one days of August.
Be careful on the 8th, 9th and 10th; you tend to act abruptly and without much concern with tradition. Don’t change what you took many years to build. Don’t make rash decisions you will regret later.
Your ambition is out of control on the 10th, 11th and 12th; your ruler Mars is opposing Pluto in your area of career.
Good competition is healthy dear Aries, but desperate competition is against the law of fraternity. You are part of the whole and we are all connected by the same energy. Be happy when your competitor wins over you; be part of the energy of the winners, don’t set yourself apart from it just because you didn’t win.
The full moon on August 13th, at 20º Aquarius, can be translated into brotherhood and solidarity. This is a fun and harmonious day for you. You are in the mood for love and you should spend this new moon close to somebody you love.
Enjoy with friends and lovers; it’s such a lovely day for you.
The 17th, 18th and 19th are fabulous days for you. It is very positive for finances. You can expect for much growth in your business and in your investments. Some of you may be surprised by a gift from your parents or some other family member.
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.
If you work with the arts, beauty, fitness, acting or fashion, Venus in your area of work will encourage creativity and great opportunities. You may fall in love with a co-worker… or you may find love at the work place.
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. You will be super motivated to do your daily tasks.
On the 24th, 25th and 26th, you may be forced to do something you are not willing to. If feels like you want to take action but conditions out of your control are preventing you from doing so. It’s a pull of energy; the best way to deal with this energy is to not schedule any important business meetings during these days, and leave your projects on hold and take them up again in the new moon on the 28th.
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.
For you dear Aries, this new moon is a moment to create new behavior and a new routine in your daily habits. It’s a perfect day to start a new project, to launch an exhibition, a book, a fashion show, screen a movie or anything in the creative field. Whatever you start today will have a beneficial impact on your daily routine.
Good time to start a good health habit.
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.
Jupiter is in your area of money, so don’t expect a flourish of cash, but use this time to think about your values and your relationship with possessions.
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.
