LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21) The month begins with some pretty dynamics, not the least of which is Jupiter in Leo sitting with the Leo Sun for a few days. Of course they are both opposite Pluto but that’s an interesting combo that allows you to develop new strategies and projects.  Collaborative work is further inspired by the Venus-Mars square at the top of the month, so get to it.  Venus and Mars sit in the angle for a solid week—very good for shared effort. Mercury enters your sign on the 9^th, the same day that Venus makes an exact opposition to Neptune, stimulating your creative juices. The 12^th brings a powerful Leo new moon and solar eclipse which has Mercury opposing Pluto, while the Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mars all trigger Neptune.  What the heck?!  This new moon focuses on communication, intelligence, and no doubt on AI. The Neptune influence will make all of these things very confusing.  It will be important to discern fact from fiction.  By the 15^th Mercury in Leo makes a quick pass over Jupiter – finally some satisfying communication – while Mars spends a good week opposite Neptune.   Get yourself to the ocean or to the yoga studio—Mars and Neptune like movement. They also exaggerate your force field, so try to be aware of your impact. By the 20^th Venus in Libra opposes Saturn for  a few days, raising issues about commitment.  The Sun enters Virgo on the 22^nd, and the full moon and partial eclipse in Pisces follows on the 28^th.  This will be a crazy full moon, since the Sun and Moon and Mercury will be in a potent angle to Uranus. Expect the unexpected.  Meanwhile Mars in Cancer also makes an angle to Saturn, adding to the pressure and overall tension.   You will have to work hard to stay calm.

VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21)  August begins with satisfying week of completion and fulfillment.  Jupiter in Leo joins up with the Sun while Venus in your sign of Virgo makes an angle to Mars in Gemini, an excellent combination for shared effort.   So it is a good time to get a lot of work accomplished.  Venus moves quickly into Libra on the 6^th and by the 9^th opposes Neptune,  emphasizing  your creative expression.   A powerful solar eclipse and new moon in Leo comes on the 12^th, and it is a confusing one, with strong Mercury -Pluto energy, but more importantly, even stronger Neptune influences.  Although Neptune can be inspiring and even transcendent, this new moon will be confusing as hell and things will seem very upside -down.  Truth will be a rare commodity.  By the 15^th Mercury in Leo meets up with Jupiter for a couple of days of clarity.  Mars continues to move in opposition to Neptune, giving you the opportunity to really project some energy and creativity outwards. Display your art, and  think about your commitments and work-life balance since Venus opposes Saturn for a few days.   Then the Sun enters Virgo on the 22^nd, followed by Mercury on the 25^th.  The Pisces full moon and partial lunar eclipse comes on the 28^th, and it’s a big one.  The Sun, Moon, and Mercury all make an angle to Uranus  while Mars in Cancer squares Saturn.  The Uranus influence brings a certain amount of changes and chaos – especially if you are an early Virgo– and the Mars Saturn brings tension and pressure. However, it might help you hunker down and complete a bear of a task.   Go easy on yourself and others.

It will be hard to find truth. The Mars -Neptune influence carries on for another week, and it’s a good time to commune with the ocean, or go dancing.  Mars and Neptune inspire movement, after all. Meanwhile  Venus in your sign opposes Saturn for a few days around the 20^th, and you are re-examining commitments.  The Sun enters Virgo on the 22^nd, followed by Mercury on the 25^th.  The Pisces full moon and partial lunar eclipse comes on the 28^th, bringing more intensity, this time thanks to Uranus.  The Sun, Moon and Mercury all make an angle to Uranus, so put on your seatbelt.  Tension will be high due to the chaos factor, and the Mars-Saturn square will make everyone worried and cranky.  The Uranus influence carries through the end of the month, so  invoke some tranquility and hope with the inspiration of  Venus in Libra.
