INFORMATION FOR ALL THE SIGNS
The headline news this month is probably the end of the current Mercury retrograde cycle on August 8, a super-powerful once-every-two-years link between Mars and Saturn and the move of the Nodes into Taurus/Scorpio. In your more in-depth forecast below, I will outline what this means for you and your sign but first I want to explain these phenomena in broader terms.
Firstly, the end of the Mercury reverse cycle might sound like nothing but good news, however, Mercury retrograde (like all astrology) is not something to be “wished away”. There is something fantastic and usable about anything and everything that happens up in them there skies! In the case of Mercury retrograde, it’s a chance to realign ourselves. Mercury is the mind planet and when it goes backwards, it gives us a chance to rethink and review. And although that can be tricky, because sometimes we end up questioning things we thought we were sure of, actually it’s what we need. In the same way that businesses have quarterly adjustments, we have Mercury reverse cycles three or four times a year.
So do use the first week and a day of August to work with the reverse energies.
For you, it’s all about romance, creativity and kids. Try a little harder for a little longer and the rewards will come. Use the lessons you have learned in the past!
Once that cycle is over, Mars moves back into Scorpio for the first time in two years… Here’s what that means for you …
If you know you’re a super stress head, watch out. Mars in this part of your chart can bring up issues related to stress, anger management and how well you are looking after yourself, mind, body and spirit. You will probably feel quite like working extra hard – which is fine, as long as you don’t overdo it. Your desire to help others out can also be expected to skyrocket – once again, fine, as long as you leave enough energy in your reserves for yourself. Careful not to work so hard you start to lose your cool with co-workers and clients.
AND SO TO THE NODES
The South Node is moving through your 12TH House which is all about fears and the subconscious as well as the unconscious and that part of us that connects with the Divine when we meditate or do yoga. The North Node is pushing into your 6th House which is related to daily work routines and health. Do continue to allow your ideas about spirituality to evolve. Do NOT get re-stuck on old fears. Do start to push outside your comfort zone when it comes to diet and exercise, you could get amazing results. Don’t get so lost in fantasies and escapist thoughts that you neglect to Take Care Of Business. Discover your relationship challenges and strengths!
