August opens with a New Moon in play that kicked in on July 31st and runs until the 15th of this month so we want to work with the forward momentum it can bring in our love life or with lovers, in our creative endeavors or with the kids, or with our recreational pursuits.
It’s time to start something new or take our current situation into the next chapter. There will be a secondary boost to this starting on the 11th as Mercury enters this territory and tours here until the 29th. This will help get you into talks or meetings, engage in these topics out locally or on short trips, get into interviews or auditions about it, write, deal with agreements, field offers, or make choices.
Jupiter Retrograded back on April 10th and has been slowing us down or taking us back over things so we could either let go or rework them and now, on the 11th, that is a wrap and Jupiter goes Direct, taking us forward again.
From now through Dec 2nd Jupiter will zoom through the rest of Sagittarius, covering the fourteenth through the twenty-ninth degrees. This means it’s definitely go-time when it comes to travel plans or situations at a distance, import/export or foreign interests, media, marketing, publishing, broadcasting, or publicity, higher education, legal matters, weddings or other ceremonies, or religious, philosophical or political pursuits. Jupiter is doing his part to open things up here, bring some growth or aim you at your happiness or prosperity through what you do here. He will exit on Dec 2nd and not return to this sign again until October 2030 so make the most of it.
On the other hand, Uranus has been moving in Direct motion since Feb 20th and now, on the 11th, Uranus Retrogrades. Uranus has been doing his part to shake us out of ruts, bring an awakening of sorts, and spark some excitement and change regarding the things we value, how we are valued, our income, purchases, the things we build, what we go to for pleasure, our possessions, gifts, or products.
Look at where you are with your aspirations, freedoms, innovations, as well as with friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, or causes in the mix. It is now time to slow down a bit and regroup, rework, rethink, release, or rekindle things here. You’ll have until Jan 10th, 2020 to figure it out before it’s back into forward motion and what’s next.
Speaking of friends, group, gatherings, the internet, astrology, charities, causes, freedoms, original projects, and aspirations, our Full Moon this month is focused on these topics and it peaks on the 15th.
This means in the days leading up to this you may be doing more, emotionally charged, wrapping up a project involving one of these topics or ending a situation you have outgrown, or you could be building to a big celebration here or an achievement or breakthrough of sorts. So, aim high!
The rest of the month is taking most of its potential and aiming it at Virgo, so wherever that falls in your chart you can expect to get busy. For all of us this means a lot more going on with work or health matters.
We might be starting new things with co-workers or hired help, landing a new gig or working our way up the ladder, starting a big clean out or decluttering and organizing projects, fine-tuning the details, simplifying, going organic, doing more with animals, or getting into the paperwork. This kicks off as Mars arrives in this territory on the 18th and will be firing things up here now until Oct 4th.
It’s been a couple years since Mars was in this zone so it is about getting far more active, passionate, fighting the good fight, dealing with any anger issues, and/or motivating and moving a mountain or two with our work, health, pets, paperwork, hired help, co-workers, organizing, or cleaning.
On the 21st Venus joins the story and may bring income opportunities or love interests into the story or she may focus on smoothing out issues, enjoying these things more or making it about the beauty in the equation. She’s here now until Sept 14th.
The Sun joins the story on the 23rd putting a spotlight on you with these matters and urging you to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved with your work or health, the pets or paperwork, or the co-workers or hired help. This is a good time to stand out or take the lead and make it about your interests here.
Mercury then joins this story on the 29th and will tour here until Sept 14th, bringing more talks, meetings, sales, agreements, short trips, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions about it.
Finally, the New Moon kicks in over work, health, pets, paperwork, cleaning, organizing, hired help, and co-worker topics starting on the 30th and will give you a nice boost into new or next level opportunities with these matters from now until the 14th. Here we go!
ARIES:
The first 2 weeks of August give you more potential to launch into something new or take your current interests to the next level when it comes to your love life or lover, the kids, a creative venture, or recreational pursuit! From the 11th through the 29th Mercury will also be joining this story which means more potential to meet others about it, get out there locally, take short trips, write, field agreements, proposals or offers, sign agreements, talk things out, interview or audition, and make choices here.
Two outer planets are changing direction on the 11th; Jupiter will start his Direct motion which will last until Dec 2nd giving you close to 4 months to go big or go home when it comes to any travel, distant, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political interests. Uranus will end his direct motion and Retrograde today. This means some of the ups and downs around your income, purchases, possession, or values will ease a bit and you’ll be heading back to the drawing board to rework or release things, or perhaps you’ll just slow a bit to catch up on all that has happened so far. This lasts until Jan 10th so make the most of it.
The Full Moon peaks on the 15th and will be about high points with friends, groups, gatherings, charities, astrology, the internet, or your original projects and aspirations. Expect to build to this in the days leading up to it and to be celebrating, wrapping things up, marking endings, or achieving goals.
Finally, there is going to be a major boost to the Virgo part of your chart from the 18th onward. Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and amping things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active with work or health interests, the pets or paperwork, your co-workers or hired help, or cleaning and organizing.
Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
The Sun will get you to show up and get more personally or physically involved and perhaps tie in your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation. The Sun is here from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about it. And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level with work, health, pets, paperwork, hired help, cleaning, organizing, or co-workers over the next 2 weeks. Make it count!
TAURUS:
You head into August with New Moon momentum behind what you are doing at home or with real estate deals, any moves or renovations, the family or parents, or your roommates, history, ancestry, security or emotional needs. This is in play until the 15th and can help you to start something new or to take a current situation to the next level. Mercury will join this story from the 11th-29th so this should help you with talks, meetings, sales, agreements, offers, writing, interviews, or decisions about it. It can help with electrical or transportation needs here or get the neighbors or siblings involved.
Two of the outer planets are changing direction on the 11th so you’ll likely feel it. First, Jupiter is ending his months of Retrograde and going Direct. This means it’s time to move forward again with sexual, reproductive, divorce, financial, or third-party matters. You’ll see one of the bigger growth periods here for another 12 years and it lasts until Dec 2nd.
Second, Uranus Retrogrades today and he is in your sign. So, all that sporadic, unconventional, suddenly changing, surprising, exciting, awakening energy that has been aimed at bringing you out of any personal or physical ruts and helping you to reinvent yourself on some level will slow down and ease up over the months ahead. This period can allow you to go back over something or just catch up. The focus is on your body, image, brand, name, title, needs, and aspirations, friendships, social outlets, freedom, and causes.
The Full Moon on the 15th is about things coming to a peak with your career, status, fame, reputation, personal goals, or an authority figure such as a parent, boss, mentor, or judge. So, in the days leading up to this you may be wrapping things up, marking an ending, achieving a goal, or celebrating something here.
The rest of August is going to be amping up big time when it comes to having fun, being creative, focusing on the kids, or making it about true love.
Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and revving things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
The Sun will get you to show up and get more personally or physically involved and perhaps tie in your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation. The Sun is here from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about these lovers, kids, creative endeavors, or recreational pursuits.
And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level from now through Sept 14th. This is huge, make it count!
GEMINI:
You head into August with a lot of momentum behind your talks or meetings, agreements or sales, writing or interviews, offers or decisions, as well as with siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronic, short trips, or local activities. This is thanks to the New Moon that kicked in on July 31st and is in play until the 15th and can give you opportunity to launch into something new or take current interests to the next level in these areas.
Mercury will join this story on the 11th-29th which will only maximize the potential so expect to be chattier, flirtier and more active locally than normal Gemini!
Two planets are changing direction on the 11th so it’s a big day and new trends coming.
First, Jupiter is ending months of Retrograde and going Direct today which is your cue that things are moving forward again with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or other relationships. You are now in the last big growth cycle with Jupiter here now through Dec 2nd and then Jupiter moves on for another 12 years so if you want to focus on anything travel, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political with them, this is it.
Next, Uranus Retrogrades today. This means some of the sporadic, exciting, shocking, awakening energy that has been impacting research, investigations, institutions, romantic interests, artistic pursuits, spiritual matters, addictions, secrets, or deceptions over the past months is going to slow down a bit and you may have something past return, something current exit or a chance to catch up to all the change and fine-tune what’s in play now.
There is a Full Moon on the 15th which means emotions are building and things are climaxing around a trip, a situation at a distance, the legal matter, the educational pursuit, a media interest, the ceremony, or a religious or political matter. It’s at this point that you should be wrapping things up, marking endings, celebrating, or achieving goals in these areas.
The rest of August is going to really rev things up at home or with real estate deals, a move or renovation, the family or roommates, parents, history, ancestry, or emotional needs.
First Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and revving things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
The Sun will get you to show up and get more personally or physically involved and perhaps tie in your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation. The Sun is here from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about these home, family, real estate deals, moves, renovations, parents, or roommate’s interests.
And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level from now through Sept 14th, make the most of it!
CANCER:
August opens up with a lot of momentum behind your income needs, purchases, possessions, products, the things you are building, being valued, or the things that are pleasurable thanks to New Moon energy propelling these areas forward until the 15th, make the most of it. Mercury will join this story on the 11th through the 29th so this should bring more talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, or decisions about it as well.
Two of the outer planets are shifting direction on the 11th so you may feel this one. First, Jupiter has been in Retrograde mode for months and he is going Direct today. His aim now through Dec 2nd will be to open things up in some big way regarding your work, health, pets, paperwork, hired help, organizing, cleaning, or co-workers. Look at how you could apply travel, distance, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, or religious or political themes to these areas and what you need for happiness or prosperity while this energy is here, note that once it exits it won’t be back for 12 years.
Second, Uranus Retrogrades today. This means things are shifting with friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, or aspirations over the next months. You can take a breather from some of the changes that have been going on here and go back to past people or situations to rekindle things or you can end something going on or just go deeper into it, so current and past scenarios are favored here for a while.
The Full Moon on the 15th is emotionally charged as things build up with any financial interests; loans, debt, inheritance, bankruptcy, insurance, taxes, investments, alimony, child support, etc., or things can be building to a crescendo in your sex life, with sexual attractions, reproductive matters, hormonal situations, a birth, a death, the divorce, or any third-party situations. So, in the days leading up to this, things can be wrapping up, you could be marking an ending, achieving your goals, or celebrating something big here.
Starting on the 18th and for the rest of the month (and well into September) things are going to focus on your 3rd house matters. This means more going locally or on short trips, with brothers, sisters or neighbors, your vehicles or electronics, the writing or interviews, your talks or meetings, any sales or agreements, or your offers or decisions. It’s a period to get organized and come from an analytical perspective about things, to be of service or focus on the work, health or animals in these areas or to work with others or hire help, get the paperwork tackled and tend to the details.
Mars starts this story, bringing more motivation and activity here than you’ve had in 2 years, lighting the fire under these matters. Venus joins in from the 21st onward to help smooth out issues or make it more enjoyable or to bring a focus on love, income, women, or beauty in the mix.
The Sun brings his spotlight starting on the 21st onward and will be urging you to show up and get more personally or physically involved over the next 30 days, a time to stand out, take the lead or make it about your own needs in the mix.
Mercury then joins from the 29th through Sept 14th which just amplifies the situation. And finally, there is a New Moon on the 30th in the same territory which will give you a 2-week boost moving things into the next level or helping you start something new here.
LEO:
You head into August with momentum thanks to the Leo New Moon that kicked in on July 31st and will carry you forward for the first 2 weeks of August. This is great for starting something new or taking what is going on with your body, brand, image, name, title, or personal interests to the next level. Mercury joins your sign starting on the 11th through the 29th which means most of the month this will be helping you with any talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, short trips, offers, or decisions that impact you or these personal matters.
Two outer planets are changing signs on the same day, the 11th, so you should be ready to shift gears a bit as well. First is Jupiter who is coming out of months of Retrograde and is now ready to take you forward with lovers, creative ventures, children, or recreational pursuits from now through Dec. 2nd. Look at trips or situations at a distance, higher education, media, legalities, ceremonies, or beliefs to help you see growth in these matters. Once Jupiter exits in Dec, he won’t be back for another 12 years so, make the most of it.
Next, Uranus Retrogrades. This means his influence of sudden change, innovation, social interests, freedom, or excitement that has been impacting your personal goals, status, reputation, fame, career, or dealings with authority figures over the past months is now going to slow down and allow you some ‘catch-up’ time. You can rework anything in play, go back to the past and rekindle something or release anything you’ve outgrown here.
The Full Moon on the 15th is focused on your relationships. This means in the days leading up to these things will likely be building to some kind of culmination with a romantic partner or business partner, the clients, a specialist, your agent, attorney or other representative, a competitor or opponent, or an advocate. It’s time to wrap things up, mark endings, celebrate, or achieve goals here.
The rest of the month is then really going to be turning attention to your income, purchases, possessions, gifts, products, or values. Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and revving things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, gets you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th. The Sun will get you to show up and get more personally or physically involved and perhaps tie in your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation.
The Sun is here from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about these.
And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level from now through Sept 14th.
VIRGO:
You head into August with New Moon momentum helping you move forward with what’s going on behind the scenes. This can be about rest and recuperation, research, romance, spiritual practices, art, film, music, or other artistic outlets, tackling bad habits or addictions, a secret or deception, or a spa, retreat, hospital, or other institution. You have 2 weeks to start something new or take things to the next level here. Do note that Mercury will re-enter this same territory on the 11th so the things you reviewed, released or reworked during the Retrograde in July will now start to move forward as you head into talks or meetings, agreements or sales, writing or interviews, or offers or decisions about it.
There are two outer planets changing direction on the 11th so you will likely be ready to shift gears as well. First, Jupiter is ending months of Retrograde and going Direct. Between now and Dec 2nd he will make his last big push (not returning for another 12 years) focused on your home, any real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, roommates, personal security, childhood issues, history, ancestry, or emotional needs. So, this is about growth and anything you might want to do about travel, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, or beliefs in these areas to reach it.
Second, Uranus Retrogrades today which is your cue that it’s time to go back over any of these legal, travel, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political topics to rework them or take the time in the months ahead to catch up to the changes that have occurred here. You may also be ready to release something at this point, see what is shifting on this date.
The Full Moon on the 15th is bringing things to a culmination with work or health, the animals or paperwork, your co-workers or hired help, or any cleaning or organizing. So, in the days leading up to this, emotions may build as you wrap things up, celebrate, garner some recognition, mark an ending, or achieve your goals in these matters. If you can make it social or online, all the better.
The rest of the month will then really gear up on a personal or physical level as Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading into your sign, Virgo, and revving things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about your body, image, brand, name, title, personal needs, or physical involvement in things.
Mars may also help you work through anger and is here from Aug 18-Oct 4th. Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
The Sun will super-spotlight your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation, getting you to show up, stand out, take the lead, and make it about your interests. You have this influence from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about you and your interests.
And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level from now through Sept 14th. It’s time to go for it Virgo!
LIBRA:
August opens with New Moon momentum underway regarding your personal aspirations and original projects, as well as with your friends and associates, online interests and astrology, charities and causes, or parties, events or gatherings. This means in the first couple weeks of the month you should aim at starting new things here or taking current interests to the next level in these areas.
By the 11th, Mercury will re-enter this territory so that these topics you reworked or reviewed during the Retrograde in July can now start to move forward via news or offers, talks or meetings, writing or agreements, sales or short trips, interviews or auditions, or the decisions being made about them.
There will be 2 outer planets shifting gears this month so that may mean a shift in the things they oversee for you as well. First, Jupiter has been Retrograde for months and now, on the 11th, he will go Direct again.
So, for Librans this can mean that if things have been slowed down or if you’ve been focusing all your attention on some past or ongoing situation rather than starting new things, that trend is ending. Jupiter Direct means it’s time to start to move into new or next level talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, auditions, offers, short trips, local activities, or decisions, as well as anything involving vehicles, electronics, siblings, neighbors, moves, or flirtations, via what can now go ahead in media, educational, legal, travel, foreign, religious, political, philosophical, or ceremonial matters. You’ll have this in motion now until Jupiter exits his sign on Dec 2nd.
So, this is quite the growth period that you do want to take advantage of since Jupiter won’t return to this territory again until Oct 2030-Nov 2031.
Second, Uranus has been shaking things up in Taurus in Direct motion for the last few months and now, on the 11th, is going to Retrograde. He’ll now be taking you back over old territory here to evaluate the changes, innovations and unconventional or different routes you’ve taken regarding aspirations, original projects, social involvement, the internet, astrology, charities, or causes and your income, purchases, possessions, or products.
For Libra, this has been playing out with situations focused on other people’s money such as loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, settlements, investments, or other outside financial scenarios, or it has been playing out in sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party situations. So, slow down a bit, look back over all that has brought excitement, an awakening, new approaches, sudden changes, or shockers into these areas and what you might want to do about it over the months ahead. This will allow you to review, release, rework, or rekindle in these areas.
The Full Moon on the 15th is about something culminating with a lover, the kids, a creative venture, or recreational pursuit. So, perhaps there is a party or event or gathering that is about celebrating the love or kids or that focuses on your creative endeavor or is about having fun. Or maybe there is something you have been working on for a while online or about an original idea or project here and it is now wrapping up or you are ending something going on with them. It’s about highpoints as things finalize, wrap, are achieved, or celebrated.
The second half of the month is really all about a slew of planets heading into Virgo. This means Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and revving things up for some time regarding your 12th house of rest and recuperation, research and investigation, spas, retreats, hospitals, and other institutions, art, film, music, painting, poetry, and other artistic outlets, prayer, meditation, yoga, or other spiritual practices, romantic trysts, clandestine affairs or romantic getaways, or tackling bad habits, addictions, secrets, or deceptions.
So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
The Sun will get you to show up and get more personally or physically involved and perhaps tie in your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation. The Sun is here from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about these artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, research, addictive, or secretive matters.
And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level from now through Sept 14th, make it count!
SCORPIO:
August kicks off with New Moon momentum underway and lots of potential for you to start something new or take an ongoing situation to the next level. This is about your personal life goals, career, fame, status, reputation, or what’s going on with an authority figure like a boss, director, parent, judge, mentor, or the like.
Look at where you are with love or lovers in your life, the kids, anything creative or recreational, and then apply this to this potential fresh start with goals, career or authority figures now through the 15th.
Do note that on the 11th, Mercury will re-enter this territory of goals, career and higher-ups thus setting things into forward motion via talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions about it and this will be about the stuff you reviewed, released or reworked during the Retrograde back in July finally moving ahead now.
There are 2 outer planets shifting gears this month on the same day! It is therefore likely that you will feel things shifting in the areas they rule.
First, Jupiter has been Retrograde for months and now on the 11th he is going Direct again. He will now put all of his energy behind bringing some kind of growth experience for you around income, purchases, possessions, gifts, products, or values via what is now moving forward again through media, marketing, educational, legal, travel, foreign, ceremonial, religious, or political themes in these areas. Jupiter will give you this potential through Dec 2nd and then he exits this sign and won’t return again until Oct 2030-Nov 2031 so make the most of it now, the things you implement now while Jupiter is here can flower up ahead.
Second, Uranus has been shaking things up, bringing genius, perversion or innovation, sudden changes, unpredictability, a great awakening, and lots of excitement to your relationships over the months behind you. This has been about the romantic or business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or advocates around you and the radical, brilliant energy is about getting you to look at where you are with these folks when it comes to your values, being valued, your possessions, income, or purchases.
Now, on the 11th, Uranus Retrogrades and so over the months ahead you can slow down a bit and catch your breath, taking the time now to look at how much has changed or what still needs to and what you want to do about fine-tuning things with them before the next round of it kicks in with Direct motion in mid-January next year.
The Full Moon on the 15th is about your home or family, any real estate deals or moves, renovations or roommate situations, your parent or early childhood stories, or your history or ancestry. This is about big celebrations or achievements in these areas or about wrapping things up or ending something here. So, it could be you are throwing a party at home or to celebrate a parent or roommate, or you are wrapping up wiring the house of internet or seeing the renovation your friend is doing come to an end, you get the idea
The last half of the month is really going to get you focused on friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, original projects, freedom, or personal aspirations. That’s because there is a whole lot of energy flooding into this zone.
First Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and revving things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
The Sun will get you to show up and get more personally or physically involved and perhaps tie in your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation. The Sun is here from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about these social or aspirational topics.
And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level from now through Sept 14th so make the most of it, you have a lot helping you make things happen here now through mid-September!
SAGITTARIUS:
August should open like gangbusters for you with New Moon momentum moving things forward in the first 2 weeks regarding travel, distant, legal, media, marketing, publishing, broadcasting, educational, ceremonial, religious, or political topics. It’s all about what is happening creatively, recreationally, with the kids, or your lover/love life in this territory so aim high and look at new or next level opportunities.
Mercury will join this story on the 11th onward which means more news, talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions about it, and it is allowing you now to move forward with the things that you reviewed, released or reworked here during the Mercury Retrograde in July.
There are 2 outer planets shifting gears on the same day! This means you’ll likely feel the shift in direction about the topics they rule so, let’s take a look.
First, Jupiter, your ruling planet, in your sign, has been Retrograde for months and now, on the 11th, he goes Direct. This means you should feel like whatever you have been reviewing, rethinking, reworking, or releasing regarding the past, your own interests, what’s going on with your body, image, brand, name, title, personal needs, or physical involvement in things, and ongoing situations as well, is now ready for a shift forward and for things to start moving again into new or next level territory.
This means from now through Dec 2nd Jupiter is giving you special attention, helping you stand out, expand, take measures towards happiness or prosperity, or tend to your personal or physical scenarios and he’s doing it through these media; travel, foreign, distant, marketing, publishing, educational, legal, ceremonial, religious, or political arenas.
Once he departs Sagittarius on Dec 2nd he won’t return until Oct 2030-Nov 2031 so make the most of this expansive energy while it is with you.
Second, Uranus has been shaking things up in Taurus over the months past and he is now going to Retrograde on the 11th. This means the push for innovation, change, social connections, original projects, aspirations, your earnings, purchases, or possessions regarding the work you do, your co-workers, hired help, paperwork, health or animals is now slowing down and you can take the months ahead to catch up with all the changes that have occurred or figure out what still needs to change or how you can bring more of that freedom and innovation, money flow, social interaction, and aspirations into your work, health, animal scenarios, or with co-workers, hired help, or paperwork.
The Full Moon on the 15th is in your 3rd house so things are culminating with big news or talks, a meeting or interview, an offer or agreement, the sales or writing, an idea or proposal, a short trip or local activity, with the neighbors, siblings, vehicles, or electronics, or some big decision. It’s likely this ties into that social scenario or aspiration as things wrap up, are celebrated, ended, or achieved in these areas.
The rest of the month is really about the flood of energy pouring into your career, reputation, fame, status, personal goals, and situations with authority figures such as the boss, parent, director, judge, or mentor.
First Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and revving things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
The Sun will get you to show up and get more personally or physically involved and perhaps tie in your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation. The Sun is here from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about these personal goals, career matters or authority figures.
And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level from now through Sept 14th about it so aim high.
CAPRICORN:
August opens up with New Moon momentum in gear regarding your loans, inheritance, taxes, insurance, alimony, child support, commissions, partner’s money, or other financial matters, as well as with your sexual interests, reproductive needs, divorce, mortality issues, or third-party situations, so you should be moving forward into something new or next level with some of these matters through the 15th.
Mercury will join this story on the 11th onward so, at this point, the things you reviewed, released or reworked in these areas of life during the Mercury Retrograde in July are shifting forward and you should be able to move ahead having figured something out about it via any talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions in the mix.
There are 2 outer body planets shifting gears on the same day so you will likely be feeling the shift in direction about the things they rule.
First, Jupiter has been Retrograde for months, so you’ve been harnessed to the past or some ongoing scenario playing out via institutions, research, investigations, romance, artistic outlets, spiritual pursuits, addictions, karmic scenarios, secrets, or deceptions.
Now, on the 11th, Jupiter goes Direct again so you can now look at what you might do regarding travel, distance, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political interests in these artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, research, investigational, karmic, secretive, addictive, or deceptive arenas.
Jupiter wants your growth here, some step towards happiness or prosperity or personal expansion and will be aiming at these matters now through Dec 2nd at which point he exits Sagittarius and won’t return again until Oct 2030-Nov 2031 so make the most of the potential now while you can.
Second, Uranus has been shaking things up, bringing an awakening, sudden, shocking jolts out of ruts, genius or innovative opportunities, and a focus on values, being valued, income, purchases, possessions, and how this is playing out with the kids, your lover or love life, your creative ventures, or recreational pursuits.
Now, on the 11th, Uranus Retrogrades so you can take a bit of a breather, catch up to all that has transpired and figure out what you want to review, release, rekindle, or rework here over the months ahead so you are ready for forward motion into new or next level stuff here in January when the energy is once again Direct.
The Full Moon on the 15th is focused on your income, purchases, possessions, products, gifts, or values. This is about things climaxing in some way around one or more of these topics so you could be celebrating something with associates or friends here or having something big culminate online or with a group around one of these topics, as you wrap things up, mark any endings, achieve goals, garner some recognition, or celebrate those peaks.
The rest of the month is really about the flood of energy pouring into your 9th house of travel, distance, foreign, educational, legal, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political interests.
First Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and revving things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
The Sun will get you to show up and get more personally or physically involved and perhaps tie in your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation. The Sun is here from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about these travel, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political topics.
And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level from now through Sept 14th, giving you plenty of time to make the most of this potential.
AQUARIUS:
August opens up with New Moon momentum moving things forward with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, advocates, or other relationships up until the 15th so plan on starting new ventures with relationships in play or new relationships or use this boost to take a current relationship to the next level. It’s about creativity or fun, love or the kids at the heart of it, aim high.
Mercury will also be joining this story starting on the 11th onward and he does that by now moving forward in territory he was backing up over during Mercury Retrograde in July.
So, this means you are now ready to get into talks or meetings, hear news or offers, sign agreements or make sales, write, interview, or make choices regarding what you figured out then about these partners, clients, specialist, reps, competitors, or other players and the love, kids, creativity, or fun.
There are 2 outer planets shifting gears on the same day which means it’s likely you’ll be feeling the shift in direction about the things they rule.
First, Jupiter has been Retrograde for months and now on the 11th he is going Direct again. From now through Dec 2nd he will give you his last big boost forward to help you expand horizons, adventure, seek happiness, or prosperity via your original projects, personal aspirations, friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, or causes.
Look at Jupiter influences with these social or aspirational topics: travel, distance, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political interests. Is there something you want to do to get you into a better situation or open up potential with the friends, groups, internet, or other social outlets or with original projects or aspirations? Once Jupiter exits in December, he won’t return here until Oct 2030-Nov 2031 so take advantage of his potential while he’s here.
Second, Uranus has been Direct for months and is now going to Retrograde on the 11th. So, over the months ahead you’ll get to slow down a bit and either catch your breath and assess what all has changed at home, with family, moves, renovations, real estate deals, parents, or roommates, or you can go back over old ground and either rethink, release or rework something here.
It’s been pretty exciting or shocking as your ruler, Uranus, has been doing his part to bring innovation and breaking out of ruts into these areas of life. He’s also brought social interests, values, money flow, purchases, or possessions to bear on what has been going on here.
So, use this as your cue to slow down and finetune what needs work still, figure out what comes next and catch up with the changes until he is Direct again mid-January.
The Full Moon on the 15th is in your sign, Aquarius! So, this is big for you. It could mean you are reaching a personal or physical goal, perhaps involving your body or image, brand or name, title or identity, or physical involvement in some project or social interest.
It could also be you are ready to end something going on here or at the center of attention, garnering some recognition, in the spotlight, celebrated, or getting a finalization on something.
This would be perfect for a wedding since it would bring in social celebration around you and represent a highpoint for you as it impacted your name and identity or it could be your face is on the company wall now as employee of the month or the big website is featuring you on their main hub, you get the idea, it’s all you.
The last half of August is really about the flood of energy pouring into Virgo and your zone of financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party matters.
First Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and revving things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
The Sun will get you to show up and get more personally or physically involved and perhaps tie in your image, brand, name, title, or body in the equation. The Sun is here from Aug 23-Sept 23rd.
Mercury arrives on Aug 29 and tours here until Sept 14th bringing more talks, meetings, writing, interviews, short trips, sales, agreements, or decisions about these loans, taxes, the insurance, investments, alimony, inheritance, or other financial interests, or the sexual attraction, reproductive need, death, birth, divorce, or triangle playing out.
And the New Moon is on the 30th and will give you that forward boost into something new or next level from now through Sept 14th which means you’ll have until mid-September with momentum in these financial, sexual, reproductive, divorce, mortality, or third-party matters.
PISCES:
You head into August with real momentum from the New Moon behind work scenarios, health endeavors, what you’re doing with the animals, co-workers, hired help, cleaning, organizing, or paperwork. This is in play until the 15th so make the most of starting new things in these areas or taking your current situation into that next chapter.
Mercury joins this story on the 11th onward which should bring talks, news, meetings, offers, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, or decisions about it moving forward. Mercury will be traveling forward over the degrees he Retrograded over in July so whatever you released, reworked or rekindled, you should now be making choices and moving forward about it in these areas.

You’ve had time to reassess what you wanted to do about the travel, distance, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political interests in these areas of life and now, on the 11th, Jupiter goes Direct.
So, over the months ahead, until Dec 2nd, you have potential for real growth, new or next level chapters of happiness, prosperity or expansion with goals, career or authority figures via these Jupiter topics. So, make the most out of this boost, once Jupiter exits in December he does not return here until Oct 2030-Nov 2031, aim high.
Second, Uranus has been shaking things up, bringing shockers or excitement, an awakening or unpredictability, social influences or a focus on income, purchases, or possessions, and it has been playing out via your local activities, short trips, vehicles, electronics, siblings, neighbors, moves, writing, agreements, sales, interviews, auditions, talks, meetings, offers, or decisions over the months behind you.
Now, on the 11th, Uranus Retrogrades. So, over the months ahead you can take a bit of a breather and catch up to all the changes or rework that original piece you wrote or renegotiate that contract you signed or head back to that old sale with ta friend, it’s a do-over period until mid-January when things are back in forward motion again.
The Full Moon on the 15th is in the mysterious 12th house for you so it may be about things culminating with art, music, film, or other artistic pursuits, a karmic situation or romantic interlude, your spiritual practices or magical interests, dreams or psychic abilities, a hospital or other institution, your research or investigations, a bad habit or addiction, or a secret or deception.
This is about wrapping things up, marking endings, celebrating, or achieving goals in one or more of these arenas now. You may tie the internet or friends into this peak or it could be an aspiration of yours or something innovative and original is playing a part as things climax here.
The rest of the month is really going to be about all the energy flooding into your relationship zone. This may mean from the 18th onward it’s all about a romantic partner or a business partner, your clients or a specialist, the agent or attorney, your competition or an opponent, or an advocate or other important one-on-one.
First Mars, then Venus, then the Sun, then Mercury, and then the New Moon will all be heading here and revving things up for some time. So, this means you are about to get much more motivated and active as Mars will light the fire, get you busy and passionate about it or help you work through anger about it and is now here from Aug 18-Oct 4th.
Venus will help smooth out issues or bring the income, women, beauty, or love into the story, making it easier or more enjoyable. She is here from Aug 21-Sept 14th.
