Sagittarius
August will be a very peculiar month.
On the very first day of August, you ruler planet Jupiter and the king of our Galaxy, the Sun, are in stressful conversation, so skip this day for major activities, meetings and decisions that could go wrong because your Ego is away too BIG.
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.
For the first 6 days of August, Mercury will retrograde in your area of travel and international matters. It’s a good time to go back to school, read a book you’ve read a long time ago that impressed you once again, and or visit your hometown if you live somewhere else.
After the 8th Mercury moves to Virgo in your sector of career, reputation and status. You may feel like no matter your efforts, things seem to be stopped or stagnated. The best way to handle this is to not take any important steps during these days. Re-do and Re-view your projects, make it better!
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 sex; and as the planet that rules your sexuality, this means… rising libido and meeting hot partners who will enjoy this vibration with you.
This is the area of other peoples’ money and shared money as well, so make sure you don’t spend your partner’s money like a maniac or else you can both get in trouble.
This is not a good time to initiate a lawsuit, and I hope you are not undergoing a divorce settlement or else the process could be very stressful for both of you. If it’s your case, postpone the meetings and any hearings until after September 18th.
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 has being transiting the area of travel and international matters. This is a great time to plan a romantic trip with your love or if single you can find love with a foreigner or on a trip to another country. But with Mercury retrograding, choose a place you have been to before, and double check the flight and hotel reservations. No risky eccentric locations for you this time dear Sagittarius, I know you love adventures, but this trip could go beyond the limits of eccentricity and wildness.
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 research and learn more in relation to your field. You may have to be gentler in the way you communicate.
You may find yourself at a crossroad in terms of love on the 5th.
The full moon on August 13th, at 20º Aquarius, can be translated into brotherhood and solidarity. This is a great time to spend the night in the company of someone who shares the same philosophies and likes to travel and share experiences like you do.
The 17th, 18 and 19th will be such great days for you. You may find someone with whom you will feel such an attraction that it will be hard to resist. Everything will go well for you today, despite Mercury retrograding. Work will be fruitful and your health will be in good shape. It’s a perfect time to find a doctor who will give you the right medication for a health condition you’ve been dealing with for long time that no other doctor could find the cure for.
Your energy is amazing these days dear Sagittarius, nobody can keep up with you, and you can win any competition.
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 will be a perfect time for your career when everything goes your way. Venus enters your midhaven, your career sector. There aren’t too many moments in life that are destined to go exactly the way you want them to.
Yes, you guessed it; this is one of those moments for your career. So take advantage of the moment, dear Sagittarius.
Don't be surprised if you are nominated for or receive an award for something you've achieved, or if you receive some less formal recognition from your peers.
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. This is your time to shine; recognition is forthcoming for something very important you did, professionally. You may be honored or you may get a promotion. And if you work with beauty, perhaps during this time you may meet or do some work with celebrities and important people. Venus and the Sun in your area of career will create one of the best vibrations for opportunities and life improvements. This doesn’t happen very often; both planets travel though this area once a year but it’s not likely you’ll have them together at the same time. It’s a BIG PLUS dear Sagittarius.
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.
Today is a day you can breathe again, start your projects back up again and start everything moving forward again. Mercury is not retrograding anymore and you have a new beginning in your career. You may start a new job or you may begin a brand new project that has everything, astrologically speaking, to succeed and make your reputation in your field rise up.
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 your ruler planet, so when retrograding there’s always a delay in your activities and in your life in general. But that doesn’t mean your life will not prosper and evolve. Just understand the fact that you won’t see immediate results right now. This way you lower your high expectations and stays with your feet on the ground.
Just do your part and when Jupiter goes direct you will be ready to shine and prosper again.
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.
