Still a little tension
The Sun transits in a warm trine in the ninth field in Leo , where it meets the New Moon on July 24th. Mercury also continues its long transit in Leo , resuming direct motion on August 11th and then remaining in trine until September 2nd. Meanwhile, Venus continues its opposition in the seventh field in Gemini until July 31st, while Mars is in square in the tenth field in Virgo until August 6th, but then moves into Libra and begins a harmonious sextile . The slower transits all involve the first decan, or rather the initial degrees: I am referring to the sextile of Pluto in Aquarius , the trine of Neptune and Saturn in Aries , as well as the opposition of Uranus in Gemini . Overall, the first part of the astrological month still presents a bit of tension, but the atmosphere is gradually clearing up. The busiest days will be July 27 and 28, August 5, 10, and 17. The most effective and rewarding days will be July 25, 26, and 29, August 3, 4, 8, 9, 13, 21, and 22.
Reflect and understand
With Venus in opposition (until July 31st) and Mars in square (until August 6th), the first weeks of the astrological month are quite tiring, with lingering nervousness and a fatigue that will be noticeable, both physically and emotionally. As we've seen, however, Mercury remains supportive and will return even more effectively with its direct motion from August 11th. The certainty of recovery for the second half of the month is therefore encouraging, but that doesn't mean you can rush relief or underestimate the dissonances still lingering between late July and early August. Indeed, with a view to a more serene and fruitful phase, it's a good idea to keep impulsive reactions, behavioral outbursts, and any risky decisions under control, perhaps because you're craving revenge or simply tired of enduring or waiting; which would be understandable, but not as logical, useful, or appropriate. It's true that patience isn't among your most spontaneous qualities, but it might be worth making an extra effort in this regard, both at work and—especially—in your personal relationships. In short, try to tolerate what's bothering you, perhaps talking about it with those directly involved or with trusted people who are external to the problem and therefore more objective. Mercury 's trine favors any discussion, but above all, it's useful for reflection, processing, and understanding; not necessarily—and certainly not immediately—for drawing conclusions.
Hot August
Mercury 's trine in the ninth field is perfect for travel and vacations, for new acquaintances, and even for original experiences and various stimuli. But it can certainly support you even if you have to work, because you'll still be creative, collaborative, and open to interesting ideas. You may have a project in mind, an important initiative ahead of the fall restart, or you may be considering some collaborative proposals. At least until the first week of August, it's best to avoid delicate decisions, giving yourself time to consider the pros and cons of each option, including financial ones, perhaps seeking advice from experts. Meanwhile, you'll have less time to dedicate to family and your partner, and this could create some unpleasant disagreements; keep this in mind and try, wherever possible, to prevent complaints or protests! August is a month that offers progressive improvements on all fronts, which means that those who still have to work will be able to count on good ideas and greater creative momentum: activities related to tourism, transportation, commerce, and entertainment will be particularly favored. But even more enjoyable will be spending time with friends old and new, at your vacation spot or even in the city, if you protect your free time from interference. You'll have the opportunity to reconnect with your partner, provided you embrace sincere dialogue and resolve certain misunderstandings from the past, thus avoiding further misunderstandings or resentments. In short, a truly exciting mid-August holiday awaits you: passion returns, along with the pleasure of sharing experiences and interests, and if you're single, there will be plenty of opportunities to make new friends!
First decade
On July 30th, Mercury returns to trine , and on August 11th it returns to direct motion and will remain friendly until August 21st. Meanwhile, from August 6th to 22nd, you can also count on the sextile of Mars . These are excellent transits for enjoying summer fun, but even if you have to work, you'll be more efficient. There will be no shortage of new acquaintances, with some more interesting encounters...
Second decade
Mercury 's trine will affect you until July 30th, still in retrograde motion, while Venus and Mars will end their transits at the beginning of the astrological month. You're a bit tired and perhaps don't feel like strenuous activities, contenting yourself with some leisure time. If you have any issues to clarify, whether with your partner, family member, or friend, don't put them off.
Third decade
Venus is in opposition until July 31st, while Mars continues its square from July 21st to August 6th. Work commitments may require attention, perhaps some tensions with family or your partner. In short, try to be patient and preserve your free time to share with good friends, without ruling out new interesting acquaintances.
