Libra
August will be a very peculiar month.
On the very first day of the month your ruler Venus and the innovative planet Uranus are in perfect synchrony, sending great vibrations your way dear Libra. You may find a new love, your may receive amazing news or you may have a surprise that will make you smile.
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 the subconscious mind, making it a good time to reflect upon the psychological problems we all have to deal with, and reprogram the way you deal with them. Forgive someone who hurt you; this could be a good beginning.
After the 8th, Mercury will retrograde in your area of friends, so it’s a good time to visit friends you haven’t seen for long time. You may bump into a friend or find him or her on a social network site and you will enjoy this reencounter.
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 you area of career and you will be anxious and in a hurry to make things happen, your patience will be zero, but you can’t beat the power of the universe dear Libra, so instead of fighting against the windmills like a Don Quixote, direct this energy to do more research on your projects, to make sure you are gathering all the information you need, to restore a piece of art or to work on a project launch and I guarantee your projects and or your job tasks will be much more successful after September 7th.. You still have the energy of Mars for one and a half month, so don’t rush now. Wait to launch or show your talents after September 7th.
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. Your ruler planet has been giving you all the joy and fun you can have surrounded by your friends.
If you are looking for a new love, you will find one through your friends, so ask them to introduce you to their friends. Blind dates will work for you during this time, but only after the 8th because before then, all that might happen is you may bump into an ex.
Your social life will be intense during this time.
Neptune retrograding is back to Aquarius on August 4th. This is your last chance to learn the value of fraternity. It’s all about love, unconditional love and physical and romantic love. You receive what you give. Put some thought during this time into how you deal with love.
The full moon on August 13th, at 20º Aquarius, can be translated into brotherhood and solidarity.
This full moon is all about fun, friends and your social life.
It’s a good time to complete your wish board (a board you can make every year at this time by placing pictures and phrases of what you wish to attain and meditate upon the goals and dreams you want to accomplish).
Venus and Jupiter who used to be good pals are having a conflict today, and you are the recipient of this fall out. Not fair… I know so don’t count on any luck today in matters of love, money or anything else for that matter.
It’s just for today the 5th. You will be too lazy anyway to do anything that requires a little more effort. It’s Friday so just start your weekend early.
However on the 7th, Saturn the lord of responsibility and Venus the goodness of love and beauty, your godmother, will be in fabulous aspect and you will benefit, dear Libra. It’s time to settle a relationship; you may move in together with your lover. You can also find love and it will become a stable relationship. Relax today and enjoy your life.
Your ambition is out of control and you tend to make unwise decisions, if not erratic ones. Watch out on the following days: 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. It’s better not make any decisions and avoid any conflicts with your boss.
The 16th is such a great day for Libras. Your ruler Venus is joining the energy of the king of the galaxies, the Sun and with Mercury the thinker… well he is retrograding, but you can still think straight. You can have great insights and fabulous ideas. You shine dear Libra and you are in one of the best days of August. You may meet with celebrities or very important people.
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
Your ruler Venus will be traveling the realms of the subconscious mind and you feel like pulling back from your social life. You will be generous and kind with those in need.
Some of you may develop a platonic love for someone who is not available for you or hide a relationship you don’t want anybody to know about.
Today the 21st, don’t trust anyone and if you meet someone you think is an angel… think twice, observe him or her deeper and you may find a sinner instead. Your eyes can’t make out reality.
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 your subconscious mind will have the light it needs to discover internal motivations that can allow you to lead your life to success.
On the 25th love can have a healing effect on you. You could start a relationship today that will be important, intense and of much significance for you.
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 is a good time to clear your mind of thoughts and emotions that doesn’t belong to you anymore. If you have the guts to do that, you may achieve a major change in your life. You can’t see it right now, but with time you will see the evolution taking place in your life.
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.
Money matters may be delayed and people who owe you money may not be able to pay you back at this time.
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.
