Message From Joe
Hi Friends,
Prepare
to adjust your vision to adapt to the glaring Sun this month. We start
off with the communicator planet Mercury, slowing down and going
retrograde on the 2nd. This happens three to four times a year, giving
us a chance to reflect and complete issues that may be unresolved from
the past. The following day,macho Mars enters caution and moody
Cancer,a placement that neither one is comfortable with. |
When
Mars enters Cancer on the 3rd; it quickly begins to square Uranus then
opposes Pluto then squares Saturn. The end result after all the tension
and stress this month, will be freedom. Mars aspects will attack anyone
who thinks they are special; it's purpose will be subdue [just like the
punishing heatwave that USA is experiencing] and take energy from
anyone who has been aggressively over-destructive, bossy, arrogant and
taken anything from good people they should not have taken from.
"Destiny" is now going to hold people and nations accountable "as you
do to others - so is done to you". Mars will test one aspect in
everyone's life that needs changing and whether we like it or not -
they will be changed in the next few weeks suddenly and surprisingly.
On
the Worldwide scene I predict some countries will come under extreme
financial pressure and their economies will collapse - affecting
everyone in the whole world - some more than others - especially if
they have taken something from other nations they should not have
taken. During August, there will be many events that we've all waited a
long time for, but now the universal astrological clock is forcing
changes upon all of us, especially an end to the aggressive and
somewhat destructive energy of Mars which need to be eliminated and
toned down in all our lives. So get ready to be flexible and when you
are faced with confrontation and stressful situations; circumvent and
eliminate them from your life as quickly as possible for they are
poisonous and dangerous energies to get involved with or to hold onto.

Monthly Lunar Cycles
8/13 -Full Moon in Aquarius
This
Full Moon will be supercharged do to the
lingering T-square and opposition to the Sun, Venus and Mercury. This
moon is echoing to us to look beyond what we see, and to see
things as they really are. This phase of the moon always reminds me of
a glass with half the liquid, is it half full or half empty? It is our
attitude that determines the outcome of the answer. The more
positive we are, the more positive is the outlook and the final outcome
and vice or versa. With the moon conjunct Neptune opposite
Mercury and Venus, it is telling us to see beyond the emotions of what
we see and think and visualize the effects our thoughts and actions may
create. We need to see and imagine our thoughts and actions in a
positive and constructive direction, which will continue to lead to new beginnings and explorations,instead of seeing the end of the that
goes nowhere.
8/28– New
Moon in Virgo
This
New Moon can be deeply renewing,and a time to rest in the dark. We're
passing through the atmosphere of Virgo, a sign of healing, and
constant tweaking on the path to wholeness The Sun and Moon together
in earth, so that creating beauty and efficiency in the real world,
becomes serious business. Virgo is the most flexible (mutable) of all
the Earth signs, and what's initiated now can be seen as a work in
progress.

Monthly
Aspects
8/02- Mercury Retrogrades in Virgo
Another Mercury Retrograde cycle begins today and will continue through
August 26th, where we will need to handle things with caution,
carefulness and retrospection to avoid glitches, personal
misunderstandings, delayed, flawed, disrupted communications with
ourselves and others.This retrograde is in the beginning of Virgo and
is saying to each of us that if we always articulate and pay attention
to the minute details, we will be playing it safe and be avoiding much
of the frustrations and upsets this period can bring with it.
Mercury is exalted and happy in Virgo as the planet retraces its steps
into Leo, where it begins to relive the feelings of the group with its
peer pressures and pleasures.
8/03- Mars enters Cancer
Assertive
Mars meets some significant challenges in the sensitive water sign of
Cancer. This warrior planet prefers to charge ahead, acting on its own
instincts, rather than weighing the consequences of its actions.
Cancer, however, tends to blunt Mars' pointed thrust. This nurturing
sign is about protection and security, so impulsive Mars may be forced
to slow down and move more carefully at this time. An asset of this
period is the ability to blend martian initiative with Cancerian
concerns for preservation. This can be ideal for carefully building new
structures that honor and acknowledge their connection to the past and
to traditional values. Mars will stay in Cancer until September 18th.
8/09 - 8/13 -Mars opposes Pluto and both square Uranus
If
there ever was a transit that I would advise clients and friends to pay
close attention to, it's this one. This is a very accident-prone time,
with the Mars/Uranus/Pluto T-square, so be extra careful. This is a
good time to be cautious, especially if cooking, working with tools, or
traveling. Information could also be confusing or contradictory, as
Mercury continues close to the opposition of Neptune. Passions could
come to a head with the full moon in Leo/Aquarius on the 13th. Venus is
very much involved, so relationships are intense and fiery. Be
careful though, because the Mars/Pluto opposition can express itself in
dangerous extremes of behavior. The main bright spot comes from the
playful, passionate energy of Venus and the Sun together.
8/21 - Venus enters Virgo
When Venus is in Virgo, we're unassuming, reserved and a loyal friend
or partner. We may not show a lot of emotion outwardly, but are
sensitive to what others think. This doesn't keep us from being
critical of those we care about, always trying to help them better
themselves. We're discriminating, and might blow little things out of
proportion.
8/23 - Sun enters Virgo
When
the Sun enters Virgo we are constantly on the move, always trying
to fine-tune our lives and relationships. During this transit we may be
filled with nervous energy, and a desire to make improvements, we're
serene as long as we're fulfilling the steps toward a well-thought out
goal. We are often compelled to serve others, and can find respect in
fields where attention to detail and a responsible attitude are
rewarded. Sun in Virgo can bring out the natural healing within,
and can bring an unhealthy situation back into balance.
8/26 - Mercury goes Direct
Once again we
feel as if things can move forward as Mercury makes its way direct.
Mercury started off retrograde in the analytical sign of Virgo causing
us to review what is not perfect in our lives. On the 8th, Mercury went
back into the proud and creative sign of Leo, helping to find productive solutions to everyday life.

Aries
August
is a good month for recreation of all kinds, Aries, although you may
need to double-check schedules as not everything is likely to go by
plan. As well, there can be some tensions rising on the home front. The
urge to rebel against expectations is strong this month. Watch for
impatience with others and a confrontational manner. Friends can demand
your attention around the 13th, but they might be confused or possibly
even misleading. Past loves or people you have previously rejected or
overlooked might be seen in a new light this month.
|
Taurus
You can experience much joy spending time with family this month, Taurus,
although family vacations taken now may require flexibility and a back up plan.
You might also heed speed limits and exercise more patience on the road. Career
matters can be confusing around the 13th. The conflicting demands of family and
work can grab your attention. Turning to the past in your love life is likely,
as new relationships don't seem to be moving forward very quickly. Reassessing
past evaluations of people may figure strongly now.
|
Gemini
With your ruler, Mercury, retrograde most of August, Gemini, you'd be wise
to pro actively handle matters revolving around communication and transportation,
such as backing up and cleaning your computer, getting a car tune-up, and
double-checking schedules. It's a good month for fixing problems and getting
organized. You may enjoy very lovely and possibly inspiring conversations with
others. Love is enhanced by stronger communication. Watch for impulsive
purchases this month, as well as conflicts over money or values with friends
around the 9-12. |
Cancer
You
can have quite a willful streak this month, Cancer! As independent as
you're feeling, you could attract resistance and face obstacles. Your best
defense is to tone your manner down. Assert yourself when you're truly certain
that you deserve what you're demanding so that you don't come across as confrontational.
August is a strong month for personal finances, however. While it's not the
best time for
making a large purchase, it's excellent for reviewing money matters. You might
uncover a resource you never knew you had or find a lost valuable item.
|
Leo
All eyes are on you this month, Leo, and they like what they see! Your
manner is especially gracious and charming now, although you can also be a tad
aloof. Decision making takes time for you right now. You can be on the fence
about a number of matters in August. Revisiting the past in a relationship may
be in order, although confusing elements are likely. Career matters continue
with strength. Your personality is shining and those in authority, as well as
professional associates, are taking note.
|
Virgo
August
is a strong month for taking a break, Virgo, although travel may not be
as straightforward as you'd hope. Other forms of retreat are just as
welcome. As the month draws to a close, however, activity increases and
so does your taste for it. You'll have at least two admirers. Money
matters are strong, especially around the 29-30. Deceptions may come to
light around the 13th, particularly surrounding work. Friendships can
at times be strained this month, and it can be difficult to find
sincere support for your plans.
|
Libra
The desire for more independence in your career is strong this month,
Libra, although not everyone is likely to be supportive. Trying to separate fact from
fiction in your love life could put you on an emotional roller coaster,
especially from the 9-13. You could find that important people in your life are
somewhat unreliable or unpredictable during this period, but be patient, because
support comes readily and from a surprising source on the 29-30. Watch for
misrepresentation around the 22-23. Be clear, upright, and straightforward in
your dealings.
|
Scorpio
With so much attention channeled into career matters, worldly affairs, and the outside
world this month, Scorpio, you'll need to perform a balancing act with your
domestic life, which demands special attention around the 13th. You
have a lot on your plate this month, and could face both increased recognition and some
stumbling blocks in your career. You may need to deal with temperamental
co-workers or bosses. Watching what you say is important now. Pressures subside
as the month progresses, even though you remain equally as active. |
Sagittarius
Work matters can be very strong this month, Sagittarius, especially in the
last week of August. You might receive recognition or some other fruit of your
labor. Love relationships and friendships can be on the temperamental side,
however. This has not been the most reliable arena of your life recently. Arguments
about money can figure, and there may be a misunderstanding surrounding just how
serious a relationship is getting. Be particularly careful with money and
intimate matters around the 9-12, when impulsive moves can bring negative
consequences.
|
|
Capricorn
You might
confront more opposition to your plans than usual this month,
Capricorn. While you typically do very well in the face of adversity,
this month, you could be feeling quite moody. Energy is stop and go.
Impatience with a partner is possible this month, and issues of
freedom, responsibilities, and attention to family are likely heated
topics. Clearing the air may be necessary. Review of your budget, and
especially of debt or shared resources, can be very fruitful in August.
Energy returns towards month's end, when you are more able to see the
bigger picture.
|
Aquarius
You need to be more realistic in your expectations of others and of
relationships this month, Aquarius. Revisiting past relationships and
solving old relationship problems are on the agenda in August. Watch for
impatience, especially on the job, while driving, and while dealing with
transportation or communication mix-ups. Work matters can be very hectic this
month, and you may need to deal with troublesome co-workers. You can be quite
impatient
with routine now, and if you can find a way to set your own pace,
everyone will benefit. Physical exercise will be an excellent stress
releaser.
|
Pisces
More compromise in love is necessary this month, Pisces, but the tendency
now is to come on strong and to rush things, which is not your typical style.
Tame impatience as much as possible, as love needs time to unfold naturally.
Circumstances signal the need for more rest mid-month, even though your
instincts, and some snafus and mix-ups, pull you in the direction of work and
putting more effort into daily routines. You might spend more money and time in
August on "fun" things and leisure activities.
