AUGUST, 2009   FORECAST

Make sure that you  match the degree of any planet and its sign given in this report with planets in your natal chart and in which house it is located. This is the area being activated this month in your natal chart. 

Planetary Movements:

Mercury enters Virgo--August 2
Sun enters Virgo--August 22
Mars enters Cancer--August 25
Mercury enters Libra--August 25
Venus enters Leo--August 26

Full Moon--August 5 @ 13°- 43' Aquarius--  Time: 8:55 p.m.  EDT--Penumbral Eclipse 0

New Moon--August 20 @ 27°- 32' Leo -- Time: 6:02 a.m.  EDT

     Venus opposes Pluto till the 8th at 1°Cancer/Capricorn (exact on the 1st). Unexpressed passions or repressed feelings are exposed. You may have some kind of tense, emotional confrontation with one who is close to you. This could be either good or bad depending on the situation. Uranus is also involved so unexpected encounters may occur. Bringing  up dark feelings to the surface can be a good thing as suppressed emotions and feelings find release and you feel better afterwards.

    We have a Lunar Eclipse taking place on the 5th at 13° Aquarius. The eclipse will affect us for the next six months on a very deep personal level. Our friendships and loving care for humanity will be in the forefront as we view how we can make a difference in the world and to our friends. The result will be that we will have more supportive friendships and a more responsive and compassionate attitude toward humanity. Do not make any major decision the week before or after the eclipse. The period during the eclipse is a very unsettled period and very wrong decisions can be made.

     Mercury squares Mars (exact on the 25th at 0°Libra/Cancer) throughout much of the month. Squares cause friction. We will feel an internal conflict between what we think and  what we do. It's basically instincts versus logic. When is it better to follow our gut feelings rather than pure logic? This is our dilemma. Actually from the 13th to 25th Mercury in Virgo will be squaring Mars in Gemini. We want to act quickly (Gemini) but at the same time we feel that we need to take our time and analyze things (Virgo). Mental tension is likely to be high with these aspects. Tongues may be sharp at this time too!  Be careful when traveling , especially short distances or in your  neighborhood.

     Mars trines Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune (4th to the 26th--Gemini/Aquarius). There is harmony here as we "act" in harmony with our ideas and ideals for our future. We expand in the right direction to achieve our goals.

     Mercury sextiles Venus for the entire month. We will be able to communicate our wants and needs more easily which will bring us more enjoyment and satisfaction.

     On Monday the 10th, Mars squares Saturn at 20° Gemini/Virgo. We cannot take action without feeling the heavy burden of responsibility. Barriers of restraint and stone-cold responsibility stand in the way of impulsive action or effective planning.  Rethink!

     Mars trine Jupiter at 22° Gemini/Aquarius on the 13th. You have a great deal of faith that you can act on your lofty ideals and causes and do so. The possibility of achieving your goals is very possible now. A trine is an easy aspect but you have to act on it to get its benefits.

     Sun opposes Jupiter at 22° Leo/Aquarius on the 14th. You want to shine and show off in the midst of gregarious friends, bringing a warm personal touch to your social tribe.

     Its hard to focus on core issues on the 21st. when Mercury is opposing Uranus at 25° Virgo/Pisces. Your opinions change fast. Details are confusing and communications are very disruptive for you.

     A stubborn clash stiffens into a moody, power-hungry conflict on the 26th when Mars opposes Pluto at 0°Cancer/Capricorn. Aggressive action by someone could force on a damaging confrontation.  So, step back and count to 10 before you take action while you are still very angry. It's better to do that than to be sorry later!
