Lots of stimuli
The Sun transits in sextile in the eleventh field in Leo , where it conjuncts the New Moon on August 12th. Mercury ends its square to the tenth field in Cancer and on August 9th enters Leo ; conversely, Mars continues its trine in the ninth field in Gemini until August 11th, after which it moves into square in Cancer . Venus , your ruling planet, enters your sign on August 6th. As for the slower planets, the first decan is involved in the opposition of Neptune in Aries , the trine of Pluto in Aquarius and that of Uranus in Gemini ; the second decan receives the opposition of Saturn , also in Aries . Jupiter in Leo is in sextile to the first decan until August 14th, then it begins to affect the second. It cannot be said that you lack stimulation! In particular, the days of July 24, 29, and 30, and August 7, 8, 11, 12, 16, 17, 20, 21, and 22 will be effective. Some uncertainty will be present on July 27 and 28, and August 3, 4, 9, and 10.
Towards the common goal
After a confusing period, accompanied by Mercury 's dissonant retrograde phase , as we've seen, the swift planets become friendly again: Venus enters your sign on August 6th, and Mercury itself moves into sextile on the 9th. Shortly thereafter, on the 11th, Mars ends its trine and begins a square . So, let's first say that this transit shouldn't be considered merely dissonant: that is, it will likely be nervous and tiring, but from the tenth field Mars also increases your ambition, your motivational strength, and your desire to defend your rights and demonstrate your merits. The problem arises when this drive for self-affirmation contradicts—if not conflicts—with the equally intense need for connection, approval, and sharing. In this sense, Mercury and Venus seem to reassure you, facilitating dialogue and offering you opportunities for project-based interaction with those closest to you. It's not a matter of comparing different opinions and needs to exclusively identify the most appropriate one; If anything, it's about putting them at the service of a common goal. Obviously, it's not easy! It requires a bit of adaptation, a willingness to mediate rather than the instinct to compete, a scaling back of pride and a reining in of touchiness... in favor of the pleasure of doing something together, so that the result achieved is better than what could have been achieved by the individual parties alone.
Banish boredom
If you're going on vacation around mid-August, the preceding weeks may feel a bit tiring: Mercury 's square suggests a feeling of confusion and disorganization, juxtaposed with work-related urgencies and domestic or family commitments. Perhaps you'd prefer to focus on new projects for the fall, or at least something more stimulating, but instead, it's worth making an effort to stay focused and clear your mind. Paradoxically, the following period seems more effective, at least in terms of creative ideas and operational momentum, which will be comforting for those who work shifts during the central weeks. In any case, to avoid wasting energy, try to prioritize, which means not putting off what needs to be done... but also not trying to do more than necessary. Venus from the 9th and Mercury from the 6th bring lightness and vivacity, fostering your social and emotional life, both on vacation and in your free time in the city. Allow yourself time for leisure and relaxation, recreational opportunities to share with loved ones who are cheerful and positive. Relationships will regain dialogue, complicity, and passion. Singles can experience engaging, even casual, adventures. In general, you'll all enjoy the company of friends old and new! The only thing to avoid is boredom. Loneliness, too, unless it's precious, private time to be enjoyed in simple freedom.
First decade
Venus is in conjunct from August 6th to 16th, Mercury is in sextile with Jupiter from the 9th to the 15th. This is a wonderful energy, which enlivens social and romantic relationships! Mars in dissonance from the 11th to the 26th, seems to make work-related matters a bit uneasy, signaling tensions of varying degrees, even with your partner or family. Keep in mind that you'll be easily irritated.
Second decade
Saturn remains in opposition, while Jupiter begins its sextile on August 14th and is accompanied by Mercury until the 20th. Venus begins its conjunct on the 16th. Overall, it seems like a month of recovery, after a challenging period. So travel and vacations are welcome! Treat yourself to the company of your partner and friends, and rediscover some well-deserved lightheartedness.
Third decade
The slow-moving planets aren't engaging you. Mercury is still dissonant from August 1st to 9th, while Mars presents its trine from July 27th to August 11th. If you have to travel, plan the details carefully to minimize the risk of unexpected events or disappointments. Your relationship is warm and supportive, but you should work on fostering deeper dialogue.
