Ups and downs
The Sun transits in trine in the fifth field in Virgo , where it joins the New Moon as early as August 23rd. Mercury remains dissonant in the fourth field in Leo until September 3rd, after which it moves into Virgo . Venus on the other hand, is in a good sextile in the third field in Cancer until August 26th and then enters Leo . Among the slower planets, only Pluto is in square to the first degrees at the beginning Aquarius , while Jupiter in Cancer is in sextile to the second decan until September 12th and then begins to affect the third. Despite the usual ups and downs, you can count on a fairly effective month. This will be especially true on days like August 24th and 25th, September 2nd, 7th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 16th, 20th and 21st. Some more challenging moments are possible on August 28th and 29th, September 4th, 5th, 17th and 18th.
An uncomfortable Venus
As we've seen, the swift planets alternate in their respective transits, both harmonious and dissonant, not to mention that you also have the support of an excellent Jupiter . However, for much of the astrological month, you will have to contend with the square of Venus . In itself, it's certainly not a worrying transit, nor particularly rare, but since it's your guiding planet, it could be perceived with greater intensity, let's say with greater discomfort. The point is that Venus in Leo gains as much in warmth, passion, and creative energy... as it loses in tenderness, stability, and moderation. It's as if every feeling is somehow amplified, which wouldn't be a problem for those who enjoy strong emotions but could become a source of discomfort for you, who instead prefer security, normality, and tranquility. It's true that Mercury helps from September 3rd, and it does so by strengthening your natural barriers of pragmatism, as well as providing resources of rationality, dialogue, and understanding, useful on both an individual and relational level. It's also true that Venus itself will move into trine from September 19th; However, from the 22nd, Mars will be in opposition, so uncertain prospects remain, even in the medium term. This is yet another reason to commit yourself to deciphering the signals of this Venus , welcoming and integrating its lessons—even if uncomfortable—without simply suffering or venting their current effects; perhaps risking them turning into further causes of discontent.
Putting things in order
With Mars in the sixth field , the resumption of daily activities, both domestic and work-related, may be somewhat hampered by emergencies or setbacks. Furthermore, at least until September 3rd, you'll have to expect some travel and transportation issues, communication hiccups, delays, or various complications. Be patient. It will be easier to regain efficiency later, but it's still important to proceed in an organized manner, without trying to tackle too many tasks right away. For example, if you have family matters to handle, perhaps financial, at work you may appear unfocused, even irritable, while it would be best to foster collaboration, even through open discussion. Conversely, any work-related concerns will make you less present or less attentive in your private life, resulting in complaints from your partner or family members. In any case, keeping the door open for dialogue will allow you to prevent—or, at worst, clarify—certain unpleasant misunderstandings. Couple relationships, in particular, seem troubled by feelings of pride, jealousy, resentment, or recrimination: all emotions that generate further discontent without offering anything in return, and actually draining your time and energy. Try to strengthen your bond by sharing more: leisure activities, interests, projects... but also, if necessary, doubts and questions. Mercury 's trine will help you organize your thoughts and feelings; and not just at your desk.
First decade
Venus 's square will affect you from August 26th to September 3rd, while Mercury 's trine will arrive immediately afterward, from September 3rd to 7th. You may feel tired during the transitional days of the month, between returning from vacation and returning to work, or at least between domestic and work commitments, so your mood won't be at its best. Keep in mind that even loved ones may be tired...
Second decade
Venus will be dissonant from September 3rd to 11th, but you can count on Mercury 's trine from the 7th to the 12th. Jupiter also continues its sextile until September 12th, so overall you won't lack the resources to handle some unpleasant moments, perhaps with your partner or family. Protect your free time, and above all, protect your relationship from interference.
Third decade
Mercury will be in square from August 28th to September 3rd: these days are expected to be confusing and somewhat tiring, so you'll need to be patient and adaptable. Venus 's square will arrive between September 11th and 19th, but Mercury will have time to move into trine from the 13th to the 18th. Meanwhile, Jupiter begins its sextile on the 12th. So, if you have discussions or negotiations to handle, it's best to postpone them until this time.
