Welcome to the wonderful month of August, sure to be filled with opportunity, especially in terms of love. The new moon, August 2, will be in Leo, about to shine in your house of true love, giving you your best opportunity of the year to find new love. If you meet someone intriguing, don’t spend a lot of time listening to friends’ opinions of your new date – give that person a chance to reveal his or her qualities to you before deciding. Your friends may not give you correct advice in the first two weeks of the month, so keep your own counsel. You are under stellar aspects, so let things roll – all it takes is one person to change your life. If you are dating, August will open the doors for tender experiences together. If you are married, the same is true – this is your time to enjoy one another.
In your career, you’ll be super-creative in the first and second weeks of August, so spend time working on an important project. If you are ready, present your ideas in that first week, just after the new moon, August 2. If you are making a big career decision, make it on Monday, August 1 – with the Sun and Saturn in perfect sync, you will love the choice you make. Saturn will go direct on August 13, to stay strong and direct until April 7 of next year, so you have a good long period to make major career progress. This is such good news! Until now, for months, you may have been working hard, but not seeing the recognition you deserve. All that changes now.
If you can’t give word about your career decision until late month, you must consider that Mercury will go retrograde August 30 until September 21. If you must say yes or no in late August, do your best to wait until after September 21 to give your final answer about a career opportunity. If that is not possible, take the job knowing you may change jobs again later. (The only exception to the rule is if you would be going back to a former boss or company you worked with and loved – in that case, accept the job with no worries. Mercury is pleased when you go back to a former situation.) Late September, and most of October and November will be solidly strong months, and for you, be some of the best of 2016.
You seem to be traveling for business this month, but if you hope to take a vacation, it appears you will need to bring your laptop along to do email and to make several important calls while you are on the trip. Do you recall the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you?” For you, just the opposite will be true on August 7, when Mercury, ruler of your sixth house of work projects will oppose foggy Neptune, and might make you misunderstood by co-workers, or alternatively, you might misunderstand the directives of your client or management. You need full information
A full moon will occur on August 18 in your house of friendship. This will be a full moon that will come very close to being a lunar eclipse but missed being so on a tiny technicality. (You can Google this fact.) So August 18 is not an eclipse, but nevertheless, this full moon will show that something regarding a friendship is culminating, and will change the status of your relationship. Your friend may be getting married within five days of August 18 – you seem to be going to a fun social event. Uranus in Aries is due to bring a big surprise, so on the other hand, you won’t entirely expect what comes up, but the news will be as special and celebratory. With Uranus in gorgeous angle to the Sun and moon, you may meet someone at any elegant event you attend. If you are not going to a party, you may be going to a sporting event and enjoy screaming cheers for your team, and laugh all the way home about how much fun you had.
With your ruler, Mars, and Saturn closely aligned, within four days of August 24, be very careful of falls, possibly when traveling. These planets are in Sagittarius, ruling the hips. This would not be the time to do extreme sports – Aries loves to dare themselves to do crazy things that make the rest of us gasp, but August 24 would not be not the time to try a new sport!
The month ends with Mercury retrograde, August 30 to September 21. Wrap up talks and initiations early on, and keep your distance from the onset date of Mercury. When Mercury goes retrograde, August 30, Mercury acts like a little gremlin. He is Dennis the Menace near the “bookend” dates when he starts to go backward and later, when he resumes forward motion. Life will slow down, but that might just suit you fine.
Next month will bring two genuine eclipses, September 1 and 16, due to bring lots of changes, as eclipses are prone to do. You’ll not want to miss my forecast for September. It also brings the luckiest day of the year, as well as Jupiter’s impending move to Libra. Wow!
