Cancer
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.
Mercury will be retrograding in your sector of money dear Cancer, bringing about a mess in your finances. To avoid the worst, don’t panic if the check you are expecting never comes in the mail; instead, make a plan before this happens; organize your finances in a way that you won’t be hurt if you have to wait a couple more weeks for payments.
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 in your sign, dear Cancer means that you will be in the mood for action and very anxious to initiate new activities. But Mercury retrograding will delay and attract mishaps to any attempts to initiate these activities. So instead of wanting things NOW, re-think and re-plan your projects. Use your energy to workout more often, take up a new sport or engage yourself in a competition. You won’t procrastinate on your tasks anymore during this time.
Fight for what you want but respect the universal power.
Today, the 3rd and the 4th, Mars in aspect with Neptune, inspiring you to create, compose or write. You are very compassionate and some of you may take up someone else’s cause, engaging in crusades for the helpless.
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 is in your area of money and assets, which is a light in the dark for your finances. You may find an alternative to increasing your salary even in this moment of chaos.
Neptune retrograding is back to Aquarius on August 4th. This is your last chance to learn the value of fraternity.
The mysteries and all the matters regarding life after death will now capture your attention.
On the 8th, 9th and 10th, you have to be very attentive to avoid accidents and misunderstandings. Your mind is far from making any sense and your behavior could be very erratic.
The following days, the 11th and 12th are tense as well; your ambition is extreme and you can alarm people who are about to close an important deal with you. Don’t have the “I know at all” attitude or you can lose a partner.
On the 17th, 18th and 19th, you know how to use your power and resilience to activate any goals or any major projects. Your power to win a competition or use the precise attitude to impress others is admirable dear Cancer.
On August 21st, the goddess of love and money moves to Virgo and we become very worried about money.
The full moon on August 13th, at 20º Aquarius, can be translated into brotherhood and solidarity.
Money can be reaching its worse moment yet. Some of you may be pushing your debts forward, and delaying payments, but during this full moon you may have to take a different approach or ask for a loan. Don’t expect others to pay any loans back to you either.
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 in your area of communication. Smooth talk is your best weapon to get what you want; if you use the aggressive energy of Mars in your sign you lose, but if you use diplomacy you win.
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. Your attention is now focused on the mind and in communication. This is a good time to enroll in a workshop and to learn something new.
On the 24th, 25th and 26th, don’t even attempt to get into the action; your power will be frustrated or limited by others. It feels like no matter what you do, you will find obstacles in your way. Just bide your time, dear Cancer and act after 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
As you know you are ruled by the moon and today during the new moon you are conjoining with the lord of our galaxy, the Sun, in your area of communication and the mind. And on the same day Mercury stops retrograding in your area of money.
Now dear Cancer you think with clarity and your mind will explode with new ideas, new projects and maneuvers to get your activities engaged again and in full speed.
This is a good day to start over.
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.
You may not see your friends’ help, it may not be too obvious during this time, and it’s going to be hard to accomplish an immediate dream, but instead of complaining, review your goals and reorganize your values concerning friendship.
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.
