Pisces

On August 7th Mars is going to change signs and move into Libra and your eighth house. This is not a bad house but it is a very private one. You want to spend some time with yourself. It is a period of going deep within yourself. A great time for inner contemplation and maybe talking to a therapist to help you deal with some issues. No matter how healthy and well-adjusted you think you are, you are digging deep and there may be some buried stuff showing up. There is also a New Moon here on the 23rd, so there can be some new ideas about money and finance. You are geared up to get busy and create some new revenue streams. Sometimes I see additional funds showing up or you get a part-time job and notice the new improved budget picture.

But do not think that August is all serious because there is plenty of play energy happening here. You have Venus and Jupiter both in Cancer and in your fifth house of pleasure. It is time to do things that make you happy. Venus and Jupiter both have a strong theme of love and relationships. You want to be in love. You want the sweet words and romantic gestures. It is a great time to get out there and meet new people and new someone special. Sometimes there can be a grand romantic gesture that is a bit dramatic. The fifth house loves drama. It is time to be good to yourself. This can often indicate spending more money. Trips, dinners and gifts all cost money, so it might be an expensive month, but a creative one as well.

Mercury finally turns direct on August 11th and that may free up some work energy for you. Promised promotions that were delayed, finally happens. Your boss compliments your work. But for those first 11 days be sure to double-check your work and confirm all appointments. Retrograde energy loves to mess things up and it can be a bit frustrating. The Sun is here as well until the 23rd of August. You are shining bright. This house is also one that is about the body. So you make an appointment with a new chiropractor or dentist. If you get some medical news, be sure to get a second opinion or double-check the results. Very confusing.
