Leo
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 most of the time in YOUR SIGN, dear Leo which is an indication that you may step back more than you step forward. Make sure you re-do everything this month, including, work projects, review important decisions, make sure you think twice before you talk and write down every information you receive in order to avoid misunderstandings, wrong directions or miscommunication. After August 8th, it gets better, Mercury moves out from Leo, back to Virgo.
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 be transiting your area of the subconscious mind, so be careful with self-sabotage, in case you have been ignoring issues that should be resolved instead of having them shoved under the carpet.
A fast and erratic subconscious mind without control and with the influence of Mercury retrograde could be a dangerous combination, but now that you are aware, you can be in control and avoid the mistakes made with a fast decision. The best decision this month is NOT MAKING ANY DECISIONS at all.
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. You are shining, sparkling and you’re in your best physical appearance ever. You are attractive and charming, luck is on your side. Enjoy it dear Leo. Everyone will succumb to your beauty.
On August 1st, you may have a problem with your boss, if you don’t practice humility. Don’t let your Ego take over, see yourself as part of the team not as a greater star, because you can become a lone star instead dear Leo.
Neptune retrograding is back to Aquarius on August 4th. This is your last chance to learn the value of fraternity.
This is a good time to think about your relationships, look inside yourself to analyze what you do or don’t do to get into a difficult relationship and if you are in a happy relationship, use this time to connect deeper with each other.
On the 5th you are in the mood to work and organize your life. This is an excellent day to have your tasks done or to prepare a business plan; you have the maturity and knowledge to create the best job project ever.
The full moon on August 13th, at 20º Aquarius, can be
translated into brotherhood and solidarity.
The moon will be in your opposite sign, making this a little bit of a tense full moon for you, especially because the sun is in your sign, shaded by the moon. You may feel less important or someone else may up stage you or give you the results of an election that will not make you happy. Leos should learn the lesson of fraternity and equality; no one person deserves more importance over another person.
The 16th is by far the best day of the month for you in matters of money, love and personal charisma.
You are very attractive and people feel compelled to help you in many ways.
Single Leos will find love today and attached ones will have a lovely romantic night. You feel like the day goes in a direction that no matter what, in the end it will be favorable for you.
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.
Now lucky Venus enters your area of money, and your work projects will blossom; mainly if you work with the arts, fashion, music, dance or showbiz.
Don’t trust anyone today the 22nd, you could be deceived or you may be tempted to do something that is not politically correct. Well, remember every action yields a reaction. It’s the law of cause and effect.
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. Now the sun will move to the next sign… it can’t be forever in your sign dear Leo, I know you wish it could…Your attention now goes to your money, how to save, how to multiply and how to invest it.
This is a great time for you to schedule a beauty procedure, to start a new diet or to change your behavior in some ways that don’t fit your evolution anymore. But wait until after the 28th, when Mercury is back on track and there is a new moon! It’s time to start new activities, especially a new routine or a new habit. Your life will move to a more organized place.
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
The new moon for you is always very special and this one, with the blessing of Pluto is even more special, indicating a great time for change, to evolve and create the life you wished and dreamed of.
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 expect for much growth in your professional area but instead a moment to really appreciate what you have and add more knowledge to your skills. Learning will help you step forward and improve a lot in your career. The results will show after December 25th.
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.
