Celestial movement
The Sun transits in opposition in the seventh field in Leo , where it meets the New Moon on August 12th. Mercury also enters Leo on August 9th. Meanwhile, Mars continues its trine in the fifth field in Gemini until August 11th, while Venus moves into trine in the ninth in Libra on the 6th. As for the slower-moving planets, the first decan is involved in the conjunct of Pluto , the sextile of Neptune in Aries and the trine of Uranus in Gemini , while Saturn – also in Aries – is in sextile to the second. Jupiter in Leo is opposite the first decan until August 14th, then it begins to affect the second. In short, there is a nice celestial movement! Some busy days are possible, for example on July 23rd and 29th, and August 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th, 18th and 19th. The best days will be July 24th and 30th, August 3rd, 7th, 8th, 16th, 17th, 20th, 21st and 22nd.
Risk of misunderstandings
As we've seen, the trines of Mars until August 11th and Venus from the 6th are your precious allies this month, while Mercury 's opposition will be a bit mischievous starting on the 9th; even more so considering it will be joined by those of Jupiter and the Sun On the other hand, in addition to Mars and Venus , you can count on the slow-moving planets, so you have the resources to handle any ups and downs; which means not only enduring difficulties, or perhaps facing and resolving them, but above all taking advantage of and enjoying the best moments of this midsummer. There's a notable balance in the transits that stimulate you, and you can see it for yourself, thanks to your characteristic intelligence and sensitivity: instinct guides you well, your feelings are sincere and satisfying, you're self-confident and at ease with others! What might be missing, or perhaps complicated by doubts and misunderstandings, is authentic, useful, profound, and truly constructive communication. In this sense, the causes may primarily concern the tendency to assume that others share your opinions or that you know theirs, even without having to discuss them; thus underestimating the risk of misunderstandings due to distraction, pride, or simply a desire for entertainment, and—consequently—unwillingness to broach sensitive, slightly uncomfortable topics. Yet, sometimes it takes very little to clear the clouds... before they gather.
Follow a method
Generally speaking, the last week of July and the first of August seem more interesting and productive for work, with Mars still in trine and Mercury in the sixth field . Afterwards, things will be a bit more complicated; but obviously, it depends on individual situations. In any case, if or when you have to work, especially in the middle weeks of August, expect to be quite tired, perhaps distracted, or lacking motivation. Consequently, you could easily become annoyed if results fall short of expectations, if you make mistakes, or—worse—if you receive criticism. In this case, pent-up pride could lead you to argue with coworkers, partners, or even bosses, which certainly won't make you more appreciated or productive and, in fact, will be a waste of energy. In short, try to stay focused on your tasks and skills, follow a method, and proceed in order of priority: without expecting too much, from yourself or others, you will be significantly more efficient. As for your personal life, Venus from August 6th favors relationship harmony and encourages you to indulge in some well-deserved summer fun: travel, vacations, or at least some quality free time with your partner and/or friends. Here too, routine may bore you, and you should instead open yourself to new experiences and acquaintances. Therefore, original initiatives are welcome, as long as they are planned sensibly and not improvised.
First decade
Jupiter remains in opposition until August 14th, and Mercury will be alongside it from the 6th to the 15th. Venus on the other hand, will be in trine from the 6th to the 16th. It seems like a more challenging than rewarding period at work, and financially there could be some worries, unexpected events, or perhaps simply some excessive spending. Your relationship is otherwise peaceful; enjoy some sweet company!
Second decade
Jupiter 's opposition begins on August 14th, and Mercury 's opposition will affect you from the 15th to the 20th. Venus 's trine is shifted toward the end of the astrological month, starting on August 16th, but overall, it seems like a fairly calm period. If you're traveling around mid-August, try to organize everything carefully to avoid setbacks or disappointments.
Third decade
Mars is still trine your Sun from July 27th to August 11th, while the slow planets aren't engaging you, and even the fast ones remain on the sidelines during the astrological month. Use this period to focus on what matters most to you: at work, you're decisive, confident, and creative, while in your social and romantic relationships, you'll demonstrate passion, enthusiasm, and initiative.
