August Highlights for all signs:
August gets off to a tricky start as Mercury plays a few tricks on us. People may not be as truthful as what they should be, and the full moon could bring some unexpected changes. Uranus turns retrograde mid-month, so is a time to reflect, retrace footsteps and move forwards, especially if you have had to deal with a lot of unexpected change recently. The new Moon in Leo will bring some fun into your life. It will be a month of planning and making changes but be aware that you will need to go with the flow. Be conscious of the energy of the Lionsgate portal that we are currently in and peaks at 8/8 (see previous blog post Lionsgate portal for how it may individually affect you)
1st- Mercury opposite Pluto
You will need to keep an open mind today and do not become obsessed with an idea or thought. Try not to push your point of view on to others as you will probably end up provoking an argument, you may also find that someone else does this to you. It is a good day to go within and get in touch with your inner dimensions. Also, a good time to do some studying.
2nd- Sun squares Uranus
Today can bring some sudden news or unexpected events. Be flexible and prepared especially if travelling anywhere as there could be a breakdown or delays. Relationships may be difficult today, especially if you feel restrictive or restricting someone else in some way. It is a good time to change your routine and do something differently. Watch how you go, as you may be accident prone. Patience could be hard to find.
3rd- Mercury opposite Saturn
Your thinking will be serious and will be concerned with your place in the world. Try not to dwell too much on difficulties within relationships or feelings of loneliness or isolation. Try to do an activity that will cheer you up, as today's negative thinking will drag you down. We tend to think the worst of any situation at this time, so do not make any big decisions.
FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS at 11 degree at 16.59
This full Moon may be quite dramatic, and can signal endings and changes connected to friendships, groups, or organizations. You may have recently taken on too much and need to look at finding a balance in these areas. This moon always brings a need for freedom and independence and will help you to move forward. Be aware of the above transit that may put a bit of a dampener on your day.
Today you can achieve a lot and feel quite energetic, but proceed with caution as we tend to act foolishly under this transit and do not act in a reckless way, as it is possible you will make judgement before thinking. It is a great time for furthering new projects, but try not to over extend yourself.
MERCURY MOVES INTO LEO-
The style of communication here over the next 3 weeks is bold, loud and brash. People tend to just say what they think and can be a little too expressive and opinionated or bossy. Watch your
words because you can end up being insensitive without realising it! It is a good time for any mental activities and for getting creative.
Venus moving into this house normally indicates a time where you will enjoy quiet hours at home or pottering in the garden. You will feel peaceful and amicable. There may be visits from family and a feeling of closeness (maybe even able to have a good hug!) You may be thinking about redecorating. It is a time where we tend to overindulge in the sweeter things in life such as food and drink.
9th- Mercury trine Chiron
This is a day where you will take whatever is said literally and be feeling sensitive to others emotions. it is a good day to look at what is wounding you or what you are holding onto. Communicate how you are feeling to others.
10th- Mercury square Uranus
Mind is stimulated, may get bored easily, be flexible or the day could be quite nerve wracking. The day could be full of surprises good or bad. it might be hard to keep up with the pace of the day. Try not to make any rash decisions or be impulsive, as you could later on regret it. Drive carefully.
11th-Sun quincunx Jupiter
You will have the energy to get ahead as long as you are disciplined. Be careful not to over extend yourself however.

It is time to transform the world around you, or you may find that you are having power struggles with another. Your energy level will be high and you will be on a mission to get things done. Ego energy is high so watch out for clashes or opposition. People can be rather ruthless, especially if you are part of a big cooperation. Keep your head down and do not react.

Mercury quincunx Neptune-
You may be feeling confused or overwhelmed and end up being misunderstood, despite having the best of intentions. If faced with a confrontation, you will need to face it rather than hide and the reality of the situation is not going to be as bad as you think.

Machinery can break down today or need fixing, so plan any journeys and be careful if working with machinery. It might be time to get your car fixed, or something that is not working as it should. You may be thinking about making creative change which will bring fulfilment in the future.
URANUS TURNS RETROGRADE-
Uranus turns retrograde for 5 months every year, and when a planet turns retrograde, it is always a time for review, sometimes we find that an old issue comes up and we need to deal with it in a new way. Uranus tends to bring us surprises and changes, so it is a time to look at how to cope with these or how you can ease the situation.

Today you will be feeling excited and wanting to get away from your usual routines. You will not want to be around anyone that bores you. It is a day where you could meet new, and unusual people, and is a great time to have a party with friends or flirt. If you meet someone new, be aware that the energy is fun but unstructured, so may be exciting but not necessarily long lasting.
Sun quincunx Saturn-
There may be challenges, delays and tests that will throw a spanner in the works to a plan you may have had. You may feel stuck in a rut and have a feeling of needing to break free. Try not to make too many assumptions about others, it might be worth saying to others what you are feeling to reach a mutual agreement.

Be kind to yourself as Virgo energy tends to be self-critical and perfectionist. If you fail at something, jump back up and get on with it, rather than wallowing. You will be looking at the mind/body/spirit connection.
