Aries

Aries gets some good news this month with Jupiter and the Sun sitting next to each other. Both are sitting pretty in your fifth house. This house is one that is about the pleasures of life. It is time to stop and do something fun. A good time to make plans with friends. Invite people over for a party or maybe celebrate someone’s birthday or accomplishment. Aries is a social animal and now more than ever. This area of the chart is also one that is about dating and romance. If you are single then now is the time to sign up with a dating service or ask some friends to set you up on a date. You meet new people and are ready for romance. Even if you have been married for many years, you start to think about a second honeymoon or making plans with your partner to go away together. I love the creative spirit of the fifth. If you work in any of the arts then this combo will really help you. Even if you cannot draw a straight line, these two planets together can have you taking a dance class or signing up for a poetry group. 

As if all that is not enough, you have Mercury entering this area of the chart on August 10th. The first ten days of the month Mercury is still in your fourth house. It was retrograde for much of July and so old problems or issues may have come up with family members. But now all that is gone and Mercury brings its special vibe of communication to the fifth. Lots of busy energy. There may even be a car trip of some sort as you just get in the car and head out of town. Be aware that there is also a New Moon here in this same place on August 12th and it is a Solar Eclipse! I always look at Eclipses as astrological wormholes. They can take us from one reality to a totally new and different reality in the blink of an eye. What are you ready to change? This New Moon will help you get there. 

Mars is also on the move this month. See, August is very busy with so much happening. It is going to begin the month in the sign of Gemini but on August 12th it moves along and moves into the sign of Cancer. You become much more active and much more vocal in terms of home and family. There may be some disagreements happening as you and your spouse, parents or children cannot seem to agree on anything. No matter how much you love them, they get on your nerves just a bit right now and you may struggle to hold onto your temper. Count to ten and just let it go.
