Good resources
The Sun transits in square the fourth field in Leo , where the New Moon forms on August 12th. Mercury continues its sextile in the third field in Cancer until August 9th, then moves into Leo . Venus is in trine the fifth field in Virgo until August 6th, while Mars replaces Mercury entering Cancer on the 11th. Among the slow-moving planets, Pluto in Aquarius is always dissonant with the first decan; Jupiter in Leo is in square the first decan until August 14th, then begins to affect the second. Despite some occasional uncertainty, overall you have good resources and will be able to make the most of the most effective days: July 28th, August 2nd, 6th, 10th, 13th, and 14th. It's best to be a little patient on July 23rd and 29th, and August 5th, 11th, 12th, 18th, and 19th.
Inner listening
Mercury 's retrograde phase in your third field , which began on June 1st, has recently been accompanied by its reflective energy. Already in its occupied sign, Cancer , Mercury expresses itself more intimately, and particularly during its retrograde phase (from June 30th to July 23rd), it likely favored listening rather than words; and I'm referring to internal listening as well as that of others. This obviously doesn't mean you've spoken reluctantly or rarely; it's not a question of quantity but of quality. And in this sense, your communication has perhaps been more confidential, but also more profound, as has your ability to understand... and be understood. For some, this has been a precious period, useful for redefining a scale of values, both personal and relational, processing experiences, sensations, intuitions, and transforming them into lessons for the future. Now that Mars ' sextile replaces Mercury 's, starting August 11th, you may feel ready to move from thought to action, with more direct, decisive, and incisive communication methods. This may not be easy; Mercury 's new dissonance hints at potential objective obstacles or subjective perplexities and uncertainties. Perhaps you're worried about destabilizing some delicate balances, especially in your family or at work. On the other hand, certain questions may seem a little uncomfortable, but the answers are already within you.
Detach from stress
As we've seen, first Mercury and then Mars will be sextile , fostering interesting operational synergy at work: with colleagues, clients, and various other people, depending on the case. Perhaps some of you will be able to close a deal just in time for the holidays, or evaluate proposals and make contacts, or even set up some projects in preparation for the autumn restart. In short, despite the current situation, it still seems like a fairly productive month for those in business. It's true that fatigue is making itself felt, probably mentally rather than physically; in any case, it should be respected, and if possible, at least around mid-August, you should treat yourself to a vacation, a break, or some relaxation. In certain situations, especially for those born in the first and second decans, domestic or family complications, or even financial worries, cannot be ruled out, making it necessary to scale back expectations; but the important thing is to disconnect from duties and stress, without expecting too much (from the summer, from others, from yourself!) and simply enjoy some well-deserved relaxation. Meanwhile, romantic relationships are supported by your Venus , and couples generally enjoy a good understanding, although occasional bad moods could arise from jealousy, differing needs or desires, or capricious feelings of pride that hinder sincere dialogue. Nothing serious, as long as you are aware and responsible.
First decade
Jupiter 's dissonance will affect you until August 14th, and Mercury 's will be added from the 9th to the 15th. If you have to travel or plan a vacation, make sure to manage everything carefully to avoid setbacks, setbacks, and disappointments. Financial matters must also be considered; especially within the family, some sacrifices may be necessary.
Second decade
Venus is in trine until July 28th, Mercury is in sextile until August 1st, while Jupiter 's square only begins on the 14th. This late July period seems perfect for vacationing or simply enjoying some free time with friends or your partner. New acquaintances are fun, and singles may even find flirtations!
Third decade
Venus 's trine affects your Sun from July 28th to August 6th, and Mercury 's sextile from August 1st to 9th. The slower planets don't directly affect you; it's a generally peaceful and lively period! If you have work to do, you can count on stimulating creativity, but it's even better for those on vacation. Dialogue and passion strengthen emotional bonds.
