Capricorn
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 retrograde in your area of travel and higher mind, so you should postpone any overseas trip to avoid aggravations, but if it’s urgent and unavoidable, make sure you double check your hotel and flight reservations dear Capricorn. But after the 8th, Mercury goes back to Leo, and it could affect your finances, and any lawsuits, if you are involved in one. Don’t expect for much improvements, just hang in there until Mercury is back direct.
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.
Cancer is your opposite sign, if you don’t know. We always have to try to balance the energy of our sun sign with our opposite sign in order to set in motion greater evolution. Mars is the planet of conflict and arguments so your partner may demand more affection and attention from you during this time, and you should listen to him or her. Mars is also the planet of sex, which means you will attract the hunky, brawny, virile and vigorous types. Of course I’m talking to the girls and gays, but for you, my males readers, unless you like tough girls… the lesser feminine types will be drawn to you.
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.
This is one of the best transits for submitting a proposal or for going on a job interview, especially one in which you have to display charm. But I wouldn’t count on immediate responses because Mercury is retrograding, and a NO could become a YES later or vice verse. It's not the right time to be working alone.
Bounce your creative ideas off someone you trust and respect.
Neptune retrograding is back to Aquarius on August 4th. This is your last chance to learn the value of fraternity. There’s no better time for you to balance your material values with affection and love, dear Capricorn. Reevaluate the importance you give to money. Be generous in both manners.
August 5th will be such an amazing day for you! The Sun and your ruler planet Saturn are in a perfect and dynamic aspect, and you are the winner. You can make the deal of your life or have a great moment in your career. You can count on the help of important people, authorities and or celebrities today.
The 7th is the best day of the month for love. You are lucky and attracting the best vibrations and the most beautiful people to you.
The full moon on August 13th, at 20º Aquarius, can be translated into brotherhood and solidarity. This full moon is all about money… oh well it’s your kind of interest, so enjoy the opportunities you can get today. You might hit the jackpot.
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
This is the time to plan a romantic trip with the one your love. And if you are single, travel to places where you can meet singles, or buy a cruise ticket and you will meet beautiful people and find love and have a great time. But don’t take off until after August 28th.
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. The Sun is moving in the area of the higher mind, of studies and philosophies and the area of travel as well. Along with Venus in this area, you can have the time of your life, in travel or with foreigners. If you are single you may find someone who thinks just like you do; your soul mate.
The 24th, 25th and 26th, are those types of days that seems like everyone wants to make you life miserable… and it’s true dear Capricorn, they are and they can. Avoid arguments and conflicts.
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
This new moon in other countries’ sector in beautiful aspect with Pluto means if you travel during this time, something can happen and change your life 180º either because you found a new love, a new career or a new belief system. This is a great time to travel to places like India, or Machu Picchu, where spirituality is a major concern, and you can learn and evolve just by getting to know new philosophies and new paths.
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 transiting your area of love and also investments, so it’s not a good time to risk on investments or to risk your heart. It’s a great time however, to find love inside of yourself, the greatest love of all.
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.
