ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):
What a time to be alive! Orca whales and otters are expressing their frustration with ships and surfboarders. Parrots are swearing at zoo visitors. Here, we see models of boundary-setting and examples of resistance in the natural world. What interests are you protecting? We watch as Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, Mercury, and Uranus give the appearance of moving backward in the heavens. On Earth, we see things in retrospect. We get the opportunity for a do-over.
On August 1, the Aquarius Full Moon highlights your social life. It's an excellent time to plan a party or event. If you're on a fundraising committee, expect a positive turnout around this time. With the Sun in Leo, you've got luck; anyone you meet could become a good friend or benefactor.
Your creative visions could manifest quickly over the next few months. As Mars moves through Virgo, its influence grounds you in processes and procedures. Remember the proverb, slow and steady wins the race, especially on August 22 when Mars opposes Neptune, clouding our judgment about what's physically possible. Mercury stations retrograde on August 23; you could have minor setbacks or delays. They will smooth over in time; try not to overreact.
Love and romance bring surprises as Venus moves backward through Leo. Keep that in mind if things feel more intense. Retrograde planets show us our illusions, and with Venus, we're aware of love's illusions. It's time to get honest with yourself and others. The Sun conjunct Venus aspect on August 13 shows a pathway to healing if you've had a recent heartbreak.
It's a fertile month, too. The New Moon in Leo on August 16 offers creative inspiration and movement.
