Gemini
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.
Your know dear Gemini, Mercury is your ruler planet, so every movement he makes affects you more than it does anybody else…So you will be retrograding as well… you feel like your mind is not as fast and clever as it used to be because you are in sloooooow motion. Don’t panic; just use the time to reconnect with people you haven’t seen for a long time.
Make sure you back up your hard drive in case something happens to your computer, no later than July 28th.
This is not a good time to change your looks or start new cycles… wait until after September 7th.
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.
You have to calm down and be patient; money will be going on a roller coaster ride. Don’t buy any expensive items, and make sure your investments and assets are protected. Hire a financial consultant to help you in this matter. The problem is the way the economy is going; no one knows what is going to happen, so use your intuition…. This is the best advice I can give you.
Neptune retrograding is back to Aquarius on August 4th. This is your last chance to learn the value of fraternity. You should review your belief system and learn to have faith, even in the moments of chaos.
Today on the 4th, Mercury your ruler is in good aspect with Mars, crating a dynamic energy for your finances. This is a good day to plan your monthly budget, or have a meeting with a financial consultant.
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.
It’s a good time to gather with your brothers and sisters and plan a weekend trip to a sunny, happy location. If you are a writer, use this time to start a new novel.
On the 8th, you tend to be forgetful and inattentive. Mercury will be in full action, impacting your communication and interfering with your mindset. Don’t trust anyone today, not even your intuition.
The full moon on August 13th, at 20º Aquarius, can be translated into brotherhood and solidarity. This is such a fabulous full moon for you. Many Gemini will be traveling during this time, either for a romantic trip or a business one that will be very profitable. Just don’t forget to confirm and re-confirm your hotel and flight reservations, and make sure you label your luggage.
The 16th is an endearing day for Gemini. It’s a romantic day and very favorable for money matters as well. Check the gold quotation of the day; you may buy gold coins as an investment. It’s your lucky day dear Gemini, and you may have a break from your retrograde planet Mercury and finally everything goes very well. You can even bump into an ex and feel the passion again, prompting you to ask: “What went wrong that set us apart if we were so happy together?”
On August 21st, the goddess of love and money moves to Virgo in your sector of housing and family and we become very worried about money. . She stays in Virgo until September 14th.
In love, we want perfection and clarity. It’s also a good time to take care of our health and appearance.
You have the blessing of Venus in your family and housing matters. This is a good time to redecorate your home, to buy art and pretty objects. This is also a good time to invite your friends over and prepare yummy dinner parties for them.
The king of our galaxy, the Sun, is moving to Virgo on the 23rd, the sign that rules the material word, the working class, health and organizations. In your chart, he will transit the sector of family and housing. Time to focus on family issues.
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 Gemini, this new moon will represent a relief and or a new beginning. First, because your ruler planet Mercury finishes his “messy” period and your life will go back into place.
Secondly, because a new moon in your area of family and housing is great for those who want to move to a new location, renovate their house, or sell or buy a property. When we move to a new location, we change the energies, and we attract new people, new activities and see things in a new perspective.
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 retrograding in your spiritual sector, indicating that you will be in touch with your soul and angels.
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.
