Libra

Lots of planets on the move this month. The Sun will change signs on the 24th as it always changes signs each month. But we also have Mercury, Venus and Mars also all changing signs. So when the planets are on the move, situations can rapidly change. Venus is your ruling planet and you generally react strongly to its movement. On August 7th Venus leaves the sign of Virgo and moves into your very own sign of Libra. So for the first week watch your behavior. Venus in the twelfth does not want to have to be disciplined about anything. We eat what we are not supposed to or call up an ex at 2:00am in the morning. There are decisions we make that we know are not for the best, but yet we do it. Then once Venus enters your sign, it is going to sit close to your Sun. Everyone loves you and wants to be close to you. A great time to ask for whatever you want. Maybe that is a lower interest rate from the bank or getting the time off you asked your boss for. Venus brings a sense of grace and beauty that is always welcome. If you are single, then Venus can bring in some new people for you to date. And if you are married, then you and your spouse enjoy some couple time. We want to have life to easier now and may treat ourselves to something special that may cost a few dollars that you would normally not spend. 

Mars stays for almost the first half of August in the sign of Gemini and your ninth house. Mars is forceful and passionate. The planet is not one to sit around and ponder. Instead they want to act and make things happen. So it may pick up your phone and make some trip plans and start packing. A great time to go away. The ninth is also one that is about education. Learning and studying are important now. You might want to take some classes or get certified in something that makes you happy. You could even decide to teach something yourself. And if you are in sales, then congratulation because this energy can bring in new customers and some nice sales numbers. 

As if all that is not enough, you also have Mercury changing signs on August 10th. Mercury begins the month sitting pretty in your tenth house of career and professional life. So as you begin the month, there may be more meetings or more clients demanding your attention. Then once it moves, it enters your eleventh house and it is time to connect with friends and group activity. Get out of the house and socialize.
