Venus is heading into Libra on the 6th where she’ll tour the rest of the month so we will turn to partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or other key relationships when looking for love or income, pleasure or beauty, or focusing on women, ways to smooth things out or attract the good stuff in life, sweet. You may want to note that August gives us forward motion with these relationships over Venus themes but she will enter her Shadow phase with them in the first 9 days of September and then return to these people for her do-over in her retrograde Oct 31-Nov 16 so pace yourself, we move ahead now, then slow down, review, release, rekindle, or rework up ahead.
Uranus is going to kick off his Retrograde this month on the 7th, taking us back over the degrees he has introduced us to in Taurus between now and Nov 6th. He will then back out of Taurus until next March. So, this is about us getting a bit of a breather from any of the erratic ups and downs that have been impacting income, purchases, possessions, or products, as well as giving us a do-over phase if we are ready to exit something here, return to a past interest or rework an ongoing one. Look for sudden shake-ups or exciting opportunities as the energy shifts gears today.
We have a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 11th in Leo. This means we are getting a rather powerful boost forward into something brand new or helping us move current situations into that next chapter over these next 2 weeks and the focus is on lovers, kids, creative ventures, or recreational pursuits. You may find you can now eclipse out what is blocking forward movement as well. Keep in mind that Mercury is still in Retrograde motion about these matters as this begins so past people, issues, opportunities, and situations are part of the story at present and you may wish to make final decisions until after this is over on the 19th when Mercury goes Direct. At this point you can be in total forward movement and bring along that past or ongoing scenario in it’s new incarnation or start something totally different. Do guard against mix-ups, miscommunications or malfunctioning equipment on the day Mercury goes Direct.
Up until the 12th of the month Mars is Retrograding in Aquarius so we may also be going back to past friends, groups, online interests, astrology, charities, gatherings, or aspirations during this period to motivate about something or work out a passion or anger issue. We may also be reworking something ongoing or seeing some exiting in current scenarios.
Then on the 12th Mars takes his Retrograde into Capricorn so at this point we shift our focus to past personal goals, our career, fame, reputation, status, leadership abilities, or dealings with authority types like a boss, parent, director, teacher, judge, or mentor. From now through the 27th Mars is giving us a do-over here. Again, we may revisit past people, issues, opportunities, or ideas to rekindle, release or rework things regarding our actions, passions or anger. We may revisit something ongoing for the same purpose or we may see someone exiting the stage for the duration of the Retrograde or for good so keep it loose. Once Mars goes Direct on the 27th we’ll be ready to start moving whatever we figured out forward again.
The last week of August may start to get us more interested in showing up to do or pursue the work, to organize and tend to the details, to focus on our health or animals, to sign paperwork, or to get busy with co-workers or hired help. The Sun is heading into this territory on the 23rd for a 30-day cycle and it will spotlight these areas. It’s our cue to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in these matters so a good time to interview for the job, start the diet, see the doctor, adopt the pet, get out there and walk the dog, clean the basement out, detail the car, you get the idea.
Finally, there is a Full Moon on the 26th that is bringing things to a head with our art, film, music, or other muse-related interests, with our spirituality, prayers, meditation, or yoga, with our magical interests or psychic abilities, with messages from beyond or dreams, with addictions or bad habits, with secrets or deceptions, hospitals or other institutions, romantic interludes or clandestine romance, with karmic situations and people, or with research, strategies or investigations. At this point we may have breakthroughs, celebrate or achieve here or we may wrap up projects or mark endings.

ARIES:
Relationships are highlighted after the 6th and for the rest of the month so make a conscious choice to focus in on partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, advocates, or other key players. You have Venus going for you here which is a great thing for love or income interests with these people or for making it about a woman, women as a whole or any beauty interests you may have. Venus may also help you smooth out issues with these players if you have them or help you enjoy what is going on more now.
Uranus has been showing you a bit of what his exciting, shocking, changing, reawakening ways are going to be like when it comes to your income, purchases, possessions, or products these last months and now on the 7th he is going to Retrograde and start heading back towards your sign. That means from now until Nov 6th you can get a bit of a break from the ups and downs in these areas or you can use it to go back and deal with an issue, rework something current or rekindle an opportunity here. Look to the past for clues or if you feel like exiting a situation or are waiting for someone else to exit it may occur now as well. Once Uranus gets to your sign on Nov 6th he’ll take you back over any personal or physical revamping from then until March 6th next year and then he’ll leave Aries for another 84 years as he moves back in to focus on your income, purchases, products, or possessions through 2026.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 11th may be the thing you have been waiting for as it holds lots of power to launch you into something brand new or help you take current interests to the next level when it comes to love, lovers, kids, creative ventures, and/or fun. You’ll have a 2-week window of momentum and may be able to eclipse out what is over or blocks that could be in the way of this fresh start if need be, so be proactive about what you’d like to pursue here. Now, here is the interesting part; Mercury is still Retrograde in these areas as this begins and will be until the 19th so you may be starting out towards that next chapter while engaging past lovers, creative projects, recreational pursuits, interests with kids, or you may be reworking that current scenario or exiting something as you get started. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 19th its all forward go for you so if you are bringing an ongoing or past scenario into a new incarnation this is when you launch, if you are leaving it behind the new opens up now. Do guard against typical Mercury Retrograde glitches on the day the energy shifts gears such as mix-ups, breakdowns, malfunctioning electronics or mechanicals, or miscommunications.
Mars is Retrograding through your social and aspirational zone up until the 12th which means you may be slowed down with friends, group activities, online interests, astrology, charities, gatherings, aspirations, or original projects during this period or you may be honed in on past people, ideas or situations as you readdress actions, passions or anger here. You may also be releasing something here during this period if you are over it or rekindling things that still spark interest. On the 12th Mars will continue his Retrograde but now he is backing into Capricorn so you will now be heading back over career matters, personal goals or situations with the boss, parent, judge, or other higher-up type to exit, return to past situations or rework/rekindle ongoing or past scenarios. Again, passions, anger or actions are up for a do-over here. Take care on the day the energy shifts between signs for more potential for mix-ups or malfunctions and ditto when Mars Retrograde ends on the 27th. At this point you’ll be ready to start moving forward with or without that career situation, goal or authority figure.
The Sun kicks off a 30-day cycle starting on the 23rd which will put a spotlight on your involvement with work, health or animals. At this point you should start getting more personally or physically in doing or pursuing the work, tackling chores, cleaning, organizing, getting busy with co-workers or hired help, showing up for your health, or doing more with the animals. You do shine now in these areas and can take the lead and make it about your interests so be proactive.
Finally, there is a Full Moon on the 26th that will see a big culmination of something tied to art, film, music, or other artistic interests, a romance, karmic situation, spiritual practice, hospital, other institution, secret, deception, addiction, bad habit, the research, or investigation. At this point you are wrapping things up, marking an ending, celebrating, or achieving in one or more of these areas.

TAURUS:
August may be your month when it comes to work, health or animal interests, Taurus. Venus is heading into this territory on the 6th and will tour here the rest of the month helping you attract the income flow, share or attract the love, focus on women, or make it about beauty. So get in there with your job or work around the home, focus on co-workers or hired help, get organizing, clean, tackle paperwork, and definitely find enjoyable ways to get healthy or connect with animals. If you’ve had issues Venus may help smooth them out now as well, enjoy!
Uranus has been touring your sign the last couple months for the first time in your life so you’ve been adjusting to this higher electrical energy resonating with your body as well as learning how it wants you to reinvent yourself via your body, image, brand, name, title, or the way you are showing up for personal or physical interests. Uranus wants to shake you out of any complacency in life and reawaken your unique, visionary side. It may be aligning you with interesting friends, groups, online interests, astrological pursuits, charities, or gatherings as well. Now, on the 7th, Uranus Retrogrades so from now until Nov 6th things may lighten up a bit as you catch up to any changes or it may be a period when you go back over anything that still needs releasing, reworking or rekindling. Uranus will return to your sign next March in forward motion so at that point you’ll be back in full action with the changes, excitement, shockers, and original stimulation focused on you until 2026.
There is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 11th that is meant to boost you into something brand new or help you take a current interest to the next level and the focus is on your home, a move, a renovation, the family, a parent, the roommate, a real estate deal, your history, ancestry, a security need, or an emotional connection. You may eclipse out what has blocked forward movement as you kick things into gear. Now for the interesting part; Mercury is still Retrograde over these topics when this begins and will be until the 19th so you will be reworking something ongoing, involved in something past or letting something current go as you move things forward. By the 19th you’ll have it figured out via the rekindling, releasing or reworking and now be in full throttle forward go. Do watch for mix-ups or mechanical/electronic malfunctions on the day the energy goes Direct and if you are signing contracts or agreements, try to wait until after the 19th so you don’t tie issues into this new start. If you have to sign it before this so you don’t miss out on the opportunity then give yourself some wiggle room since something will likely change up ahead.
Mars is also Retrograde this month and focused on your career, personal goals or a boss, parent, judge, or other authority type until the 12th. This may mean they or it have been missing in action lately or you have been going back to past people, issues, situations, or opportunities to rekindle, release or rework things. You can also use this to rework current situations. All of the above should be about actions, passions or anger in the mix and how you are making the most of this do-over. On the 12th Mars will then take his Retrograde into your legal, travel, educational, media, marketing, wedding, ceremonial, religious, or political interests. From now through the 27th it’s a do-over with these matters, returning to past people or situations, releasing current ones, or reworking current scenarios, again with the focus on actions taken, passions expressed or anger lingering. Once Mars goes Direct on the 27th you should have figured it out and be ready to move ahead again.
Starting on the 23rd the Sun heads into your zone of true love, kids, fun, and creative ventures making the last week of this month and the first 3 of next about showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in these matters. This is a good time to stand out, take the lead and make it about your interests so make it count!
Finally, there is a Full Moon on the 26th that will be bringing something to a climax with a friend, the group, your online interests, astrology, a charity, a gathering, your aspirations, or original projects. You could be saying good-bye, wrapping up a project, celebrating, noting an achievement, having a breakthrough, or getting that finalization in one or more of these areas.

GEMINI:
Yay, Gemini, you have Venus heading into your zone of true love, creativity, children, and recreation starting on the 6th and touring here the rest of the month! This should amplify the enjoyment in these areas, help you smooth out issues if you are having any or help you attract the love or income flow, women or beauty interests in these matters, that has to be a good thing, right?!
Uranus has been giving you a taste of the ups and downs, excitement and shake-ups, that you can expect over the years ahead in your artistic pursuits, romantic life, spiritual interests, dealings with institutions, or research. It may have been interesting since this is a new influence, here for the first time in 84 years. Now, on the 7th, Uranus Retrogrades so from now until Nov 6th you may get a breather so you catch up to what has shifted or you may use this time to rekindle, release or rework something past or ongoing to get it right. There could also be something exiting tied to one of these topics now if it is meant to be, this could return next March or be gone for good if it goes. So utilize this do-over and watch for glitches around the day it shifts gears.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 11th is there to help you launch into something brand new or help you take things to the next level in a current situation and the focus for you is on writing, agreements, sales, offers, talks, meetings, short trips, moves, local activities, or with siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, or decisions. This may help you eclipse out something that blocks this forward movement if need be and you will have momentum here over the next 2 weeks. The interesting twist to this story is that Mercury is Retrograde over these same topics up until the 19th so you will be slowed down on future opportunities while focused on past or ongoing stuff during this window, it seems you need to rework, release or rekindle something here before heading into that next chapter with or without it. Watch for glitches or mix-ups on the 19th as the energy shifts gears and if you are wanting to sign agreements or contracts or purchase something electronic or mechanical, see if you can wait until after the 19th so you have Mercury in Direct motion. If you have to make the move while it’s still Retrograde give yourself some wiggle room in agreements/contracts and purchase warranties and keep receipts.
Mars is also Retrograde this month, taking you back into the past or over current situations to release, rekindle or rework things in legal arenas, with educational pursuits, any media or marketing interests, your travel plans, a wedding or other ceremony, or with religion or politics. You will be revisiting actions, passions or anger here up until the 12th so slow down and get it right. Then, on the 12th, Mars takes his Retrograde into your arena of sex, reproduction, divorce, financial matters, death, birth, or third-party situations for a do-over. Again it’s about slowing down with new prospects to figure something out with ongoing or past scenarios here. Expect to get busy with it or to figure out passions or anger about it from now through the 27th. At this point Mars will go Direct and you should be ready to move ahead again, watch for glitches on this day as well.
The last week of the month will get you more focused on home, real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, roommates, history, ancestry, antiques, security needs, or emotional connections. This starts on the 23rd as the Sun heads into these matters putting a spotlight on you about it. Over the next 30 days you can stand out here, take the lead and make it more about your interests so plan on showing up and getting more personally or physically involved.
Finally, there is a Full Moon on the 26th impacting your career, personal goals, reputation, fame, or dealings with authority figures like the boss, parent, judge, director, or mentor. This may be about an ending, the wrapping up of projects going on here, some recognition, achievement, celebration, breakthrough, or finalization you’ve been waiting on so work towards your objectives!

CANCER:
Venus is heading into your home and family zone on the 6th of August and will tour here the rest of the month making this a much more pleasurable place to focus your energy. You may see love or income flow around the home, with real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, or roommates, or you may start to focus on women or beauty interests here. Venus can help you smooth out issues or attract the nicer things so enjoy it while you have it.
You’ve been seeing how Uranus, newly minted in your social and aspirational territory, is meant to shake you out of ruts, help you reinvent yourself, and bring some sudden changes, excitement or visionary ideas when it comes to your friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, aspirations, or original projects. Now, on the 7th, Uranus will Retrograde and give you a bit of a breather to catch up to what has occurred or a do-over to release what is no longer working, rekindle what still holds promise or rework what needs fixing. This is in play until Nov 6th.
There’s a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 11th which is about helping you to launch into something brand new or take a current interest to the next level and the focus is on your income, purchases, possessions, or products. This can help you eclipse out what may be blocking forward motion as well, you have 2 weeks to take steps in this direction with the momentum behind it from this Moon. Now for the interesting part; Mercury is Retrograde over the same topics until the 19th so whatever you are moving ahead with there is a period here where you are slowed down a bit and focused on some ongoing or past scenario and the releasing, rekindling or reworking of things. Watch for glitches, mix-ups, or miscommunications around these matters as the energy shifts gears on the 19th as Mercury goes Direct but after this you should have an all clear to move forward having figured out what is what via the Retrograde.
Mars is also Retrograde throughout August so up until the 12th it’s about reworking, releasing or rekindling activity, passions or anger issues about financial matters, sex, reproductive needs, a death, birth, divorce, or third-party situation. Then on the 12th Mars takes his Retrograde back into your relationship zone where he’ll take you through a do-over with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, opponents, competitors, or advocates from now until the 27th. Again it is about letting go of what is no longer working, rekindling what may have another chance or reworking current scenarios and it’s about your passions, anger or activities here. Do watch the days when Mars changes signs and when he goes Direct since these days could bring mix-ups or malfunctioning situations and make this chance to get it right work for you.
The Sun will start a 30-day cycle that illuminates our local activities, short trips, writing, agreements, sales, talks, interviews, meetings, offers, or what you are doing with vehicles, electronics, siblings, neighbors, or decisions starting on the 23rd. This is now the time for you to show up and get more personally or physically involved in your interests here, putting your image or brand out there, making it about your name or title, or leading your way forward in something important to you.
The Full Moon on the 26th is about something peaking with a legal matter, travel plan, situation at a distance, an educational pursuit, media venture, marketing idea, ceremony, religious experience, or political interest. This is when you should see things coming through, wrapping up, ending, celebrated, or achieved.

LEO:
In August, from the 6th onward, if you are looking for love or income flow or want to make it about the women or beauty interests, go local or take short trips, focus on talks or meetings, interviews or auditions, agreements or sales, writing or offers, or involve siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, proposals, or decisions. Venus is in the house and she can help you attract more readily now or help you smooth out issues so make it count and enjoy this period.
You’ve been getting an idea of what the years ahead will be like with career, personal goals or authority figures like the boss, parent, director, judge, or mentor, with Uranus newly here to bring excitement, shake-ups or unique new directions. Now on the 7th Uranus Retrogrades so you can take a breather and get a handle on what has changed or you can go back to the drawing board and revise, rework, release, or rekindle something from now until Nov 6th. See what is coming in or going out and take it as your cue to go in that direction now.
There is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 11th and it is in your sign! This means you now have a very powerful boost from the cosmos to launch into something brand new or take what you are currently doing to the next level. Make it about you, your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs, make it about showing up and getting involved in something that excites you. You can eclipse out what blocks forward motion as part of this next chapter if need be, you have 2 weeks of momentum behind you starting now. The only tricky part to this is that Mercury is Retrograde in your sign until the 19th so there will be a part of this where you are meant to take it a bit slower with new opportunities but rather focus on ongoing or past scenarios to rework, release or rekindle things, again about you. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 19th you should have figured things out and be ready to move ahead full throttle. Do watch for mix-ups, mechanical or electronic malfunctions or miscommunications, especially on the 19th and if you have to sign an agreement or purchase something for yourself try to hold off until after this date if you can without losing out on your opportunity. If you must go forward while Mercury is still Retrograde then leave a bit of wiggle room in contracts or keep receipts, purchase warranties.
Mars is Retrograde in your relationship zone until the 12th so this first part of the month is also about revisiting past partners, clients, specialists, opponents, competitors, agents, attorneys, or advocates, or reworking something in a current scenario or seeing an exit for the duration of this Retrograde period or for good. It’s a do-over for your passions, anger or activities with or about these people so stay in the moment. Then, on the 12th, Mars takes his Retrograde into your work, health and animal arena where he will now backtrack until the 27th. This period is as well about rekindling, releasing or reworking things in ongoing or past scenarios but now about your work, the co-workers, hired help, paperwork, cleaning, organizing, your health, or the animals. You could have glitchy Retrograde mix-ups, malfunctioning or miscommunicating issues on the 12th or 27th so watch those days.
The Sun starts to illuminate your income, purchases, possessions, or products from the 23rd onward. This puts a spotlight on you here over the next 30-day cycle and makes it about you showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in these matters. It’s a good time to stand out, take the lead and make it about your interests here.
Finally, there is a Full Moon on the 26th that brings something to a climax with your sex life, a reproductive matter, the divorce, a financial scenario, a death, a birth, or a third-party situation. At this point you may be wrapping things up, marking an ending, celebrating, or achieving your ends.

VIRGO:
The arrival of Venus in your income, purchasing, possessions, and products zone on the 6th onward this month should be a favorable thing for these topics. She may bring helpful women on board or help you focus this on a woman, she may amplify the money flow, make it about love, or aim it at beauty interests. Her influence can help you smooth out issues or attract more enjoyment in these matters as well so make it count.
You’ve been getting a taste of what Uranus in Taurus is going to be about for your political and religious beliefs, your educational pursuits, the legal situations, any travel or interactions with foreign people or interests, your wedding or other ceremonies, and your sense of adventure over these past couple months. It’s a big deal since you haven’t hosted this here since the 1930’s and early 1940’s. Uranus is a change-agent, an energy that is here to awaken you, get you out of ruts, help you reinvent situations, and bring any original or freeing flow around these topics so you have had a glimpse of what that might mean. Now, on the 7th, Uranus will begin to Retrograde, backing slowly out of this territory between now and Nov 6th. Heads up, he will return here next March and stay until 2026 so this is a story that plays out over time. During the Retrograde if you need to just slow down and catch up to any changes that have occurred you can. You can also go back into something that has begun to rework, release or rekindle things or revisit past people or situations tied to these themes or retreat or see others exit the story, so pace yourself, it’s a do-over.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 11th is a big push forward that begins today and has momentum over the next 2 weeks to boost you into something brand new or next level in a current scenario and the focus for your sign is art, film, music, painting, poetry, prayer, meditation, yoga, hospitals, spas, retreats, other institutions, romantic interludes or getaways, karmic unions, dealing with addictions or bad habits, secrets, deceptions, investigations, or research. You can eclipse out blockages or what’s run it’s course as you move forward but it is about the fresh start. Now, having said that, Mercury is Retrograde in these same areas of life as this New Moon Solar Eclipse gets underway so it is highly likely that you are starting fresh with someone or thing from the past in tow, perhaps reworking an ongoing scenario, rekindling an old, or exiting or seeing others exit as you move towards this new or next level. This combination between the New Moon Eclipse and Mercury Retrograde happens until the 19th. At this point Mercury will end his Retrograde and go Direct so you should find something shifting gears now and anything holding you in place or holding you back easing up as you take the rest of the period to move freely ahead. Do be on guard about any glitches or mix-ups on the 19th as the energy is changing and if you can wait to make serious decisions until this is in Direct motion so much the better.
Mars takes his Retrograde out of Aquarius and into Capricorn on the 12th so at this point you may start to see more going on with passion, anger or activities focused on lovers, kids, creative ventures, or recreation. This may mean you are reconnecting with past people or situations about it over the next couple weeks or that you are reworking some ongoing scenario or that you are exiting or seeing an exit related to one of these topics during this period, again, a do-over. So, if you have the need to rekindle passions or revisit old anger issues or get that creative or recreational interest back up and running or you are done with something in one of these areas, this is the time for your do-over here. On the 27th Mars will end his Retrograde and start to go Direct in these areas so you can now shift gears, having figured out what this was for and start to move ahead one way or the other.
The Sun starts lighting up your sign from the 23rd onward, giving you a 30-day cycle that spotlights you, Virgo! This is a great time to shine, to take the lead about your interests, to show up and get more personally or physically involved in what you want for your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs, and get involved in special interests of yours. Look especially at any work, health or animal needs and those people that may be able to work with or for you to get where you want to be.
There is a Full Moon on the 26th in your relationship zone so at this point you should be wrapping things up, marking endings, achieving goals, having breakthroughs, or celebrating with these people. Look to romantic partners, business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or other key players. This may be bringing things to a head with romantic, artistic, spiritual, hospital/institutional, research, investigational, karmic, deceptive, addictive, or secret matters.

LIBRA:
August starts out with some promising arrival for you, Libra, as your ruler, Venus, heads into your sign on the 6th onward. This brings a bit of added sparkle that works through you, perhaps attracting others or helping you smooth out situations. It also means you are hosting the planet of beauty and love so as this emanates from you it may draw more to you. It can also enhance your income flow or focus on women during the next few weeks. So, figure out what you want, if it’s something about your image, brand, body, name, or title, or about you getting more personally or physically involved with these Venus themes, it’s your turn.
You’ve been getting a vibe about what having Uranus in Taurus is going to be about for you over these last couple months. He arrived here for the first time in 84 years back in mid-May and has been about shaking things up or bringing sudden changes or excitement to your financial life, your sexual interests, any reproductive needs, life and death scenarios, the divorce, or your personal power. The goal of this planet is to shake you out of any ruts and bring about an awakening, getting you into a freer place in your life as well as sparking your own particular genius or original perspective. So, it’s been about changes to not only your personal intimacy, sexual connections, reproductive or hormonal needs, divorce, or dealing with death or birth, but about loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, investments, alimony, child support, commissions, a partner’s money, or other outside resources. Now, on the 7th, Uranus will Retrograde, giving you a breather from all this radical up and down flow going on here and allowing you a few months, until Nov 6th, to rework something ongoing, go back to the past and rekindle or release something there or exit a current scenario tied to these topics. Uranus will return to these matters next March and then tour these areas of life until 2026 so it’s a long story about to play out, take your time with this do-over and get things right.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse kicks in on the 11th and will have momentum over the next 2 weeks to initiate something brand new or next level in a current scenario For you this focus is on personal aspirations, original projects, freedom, friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, causes, or gatherings. You may eclipse out what has blocked this next chapter but the real focus is on the new or next thing so be open when it comes to new friendships or groups you could get involved in or think of new interests you could pursue with a current group or friend. The same goes for the other topics listed above. Now, there is an interesting twist here. Mercury is Retrograde this month until the 19th in this same area of personal aspirations and social interests. So, as the New Moon boost kicks in you are still either slowed down and reworking something with your online, group, friend, gathering, cause, aspiration, astrology, charity, freedom, or original project, you are exiting or seeing someone/something exit or you are returning to the past to rekindle, rework or release something. So, plan that from the big boost forward starting on the 11th up through the 19th you will be moving forward with this ongoing or past scenario or exiting theme tied to the next chapter. Then from the 19th onward you are in fresh new potential. Also, watch for typical mix-ups or malfunctioning situations around the 19th as the energy changes, if you can hold off to make final decisions until after the 19th, so much the better.
Mars takes his Retrograde from Aquarius and your zone of lovers, kids, fun, or creative ventures, and backs into Capricorn, your zone of home, family, parents, roommates, moves, renovations, history, ancestry, or real estate deals on the 12th. So the first part of the month you may be reworking, releasing or rekindling things with lovers, kids, creative ventures, or recreational pursuits, and then from the 12th onward it’s about home and family, etc. Mars is about revisiting passion, anger or activity here and you will have until the 27th with the latter part of this Retrograde at which time Mars will go Direct and whatever you are figured out about home, parents, roommates, move, renovations, real estate deals, or family will now be ready to move ahead again. In both areas, do keep a handle on the volatility since Mars can go from one to one hundred pretty quickly, but it is a nice-do-over to get things done that were left undone.
From the 23rd onward the Sun will be illuminating your 12th house of retreat, research, romance, artistry, spirituality, healing, hospitals, spas, retreats, investigations, or dealings with addictions, deceptions or secrets. This is a 30-day cycle that puts a spotlight on you and helps you show up and get more personally or physically involved in your needs here as well as helping you take the lead if need be. Look at what you want for yourself, your body, image, brand, name, title, or identity in these areas and go for it.
Finally, the Full Moon on the 26th brings something to a head for you via the paperwork, hired help, co-workers, a health matter, the animals, or your work. This can be when you are wrapping up situations or ending something, having breakthroughs, celebrating, or achieving your goals, aim high.

SCORPIO:
With Venus heading into your private and sometimes secret 12th house on the 6th onward this month, love may be a more mystical, magical experience or you may have more time alone with a lover or on getaways. It could also lean the other way in that you might have on rose-colored glasses or find yourself in a clandestine affair, so weigh it out but know that if you need some private time for love, this is your month. Venus also rules income, women and beauty interests so they are now going to be playing out around art, film, music, prayer, meditation, yoga, hospitals, other institutions, or via research or investigations, so, behind the scenes you go.

Remember, Uranus has not toured this part of your chart since the 1930s-early 1940’s so most of you out there are experiencing something radically different or you can feel it is on the horizon.

So watch the comings and goings of people with a bit of detachment if you can, you are in flux right now through Nov. 6th at which time Uranus will leave this part of your chart until next March.

CAPRICORN:
Venus is going to move into your Midheaven area from the 6th onward this month which should be a very nice thing when it comes to your career, status, personal goals, and dealings with authority figures like the boss, parent, judge, or mentor. Venus here can help you smooth out issues, bring women into the picture who are beneficial in some way, help you attract the love or income flow in these areas, bring more beauty in focus, and make pursuing goals, career or time with authority types more enjoyable.
You’ve been hosting Uranus in his new placement in your zone of true love, children, creative projects, and recreational pursuits since Mid-May, a trend that has never occurred in your lifetime, so it’s been wild, unpredictable, filled with sudden changes, excitement, or an awakening as you see new roads forward that may have been hidden before. Now, on the 7th, Uranus will Retrograde through Nov 6th, giving you time to catch up on any changes that have occurred and to review ongoing or past situations to go back and rekindle, release or rework what you feel needs a do-over. Uranus will return to these matters on March 6th next year and stay here until April 2026, so make this period to revisit any loose ends count.
Mercury is Retrograde this month until the 19th so you also have this backwards glance regarding financial matters, sexual interests, reproductive needs, divorce, a death, a birth, or any third-party situations going on. Take your time to review agreements, sales, get into talks or meetings, or look at decisions regarding old loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, or other financial needs, rethink past lovers or divorce needs, things are in flux. In the middle of this, on the 11th, there is a New Moon Solar Eclipse which is about a major boost forward with financial, sexual, reproductive, divorce, mortality, or third-party matters and this opens up a 2-week window to help you start something new or take current situations to the next level. So, between the 11th and 19th you have past considerations influencing this new beginning. If you can wait until after the 19th for final decisions then try to do that since it’s better to have the energy Direct and also do watch for any mix-ups or glitches around the 19th when the energy shifts gears.
Mars is also Retrograde this month and will cover two signs. You start the month with him slowing you down to rework, rekindle or release things tied to your income situation, purchases, possessions, or products and this lasts until the 12th. Mars is about reviewing your passion about it, any anger in the mix or where you are with motivation and your needs in these areas. On the 12th Mars takes his Retrograde into your sign so from now through the 27th it is about reviewing what is going on with your body, image, brand, name, title, or some personal need. You may go back to a person or place or situation to rework something or you may be reworking yourself in some way as you release things that are holding you back, rekindle things that are good for you or rework what needs fixing. Again, your passion, anger or physical vitality and motivation are in the mix here. Mars rules blood, surgery, accidents, fire/heat, and the head so you may want to take care with overheating and feeling faint or be careful you don’t have an accident that impacts your head or you may find this period aligns with going back in for a procedure or having blood drawn or rethinking a choice about bloodwork. Once Mars goes Direct on the 27th you should have figured out what needed to be done or undone and find you are ready to move forward again.
Starting on the 23rd, the Sun heads into your legal, travel, educational, media, ceremonial, marketing, political, and religious zone. Over the next 30 days you have a spotlight here that urges you to show up and get more personally or physically involved in these interests, putting your needs at the center or just being there, taking the lead in what you want.
There is a Full Moon on the 26th in your information and local interests zone so this can bring things to a culmination with news you hear, a decision that is made, any talks or meetings, interviews or auditions, agreements or sales, writing or ideas, or it may be about neighbors, siblings, short trips, local activities, vehicles, or electronics.

AQUARIUS:
Venus arriving in your house of travel and law, education and media, ceremonies, religion, and politics, on the 6th onward, means you can now find more enjoyment in these pursuits or you can start to attract the love or income flow here. Women may be more significant to what you are doing or you may also find there is a beauty theme behind what is driving you (if you can be ‘driven’ while in the pleasures of Venus). Either way, it should be a good thing so plan accordingly.
Your ruler, Uranus, has been in fixed earth sign, Taurus, since mid-May. Since Uranus had not been in this sign since the 1930’s-early 1940’s it’s safe to say this has been a new vibe for you. This is the arena of home and family, real estate deals and moves, renovations and roommates, parents and history, and Uranus has a job to do here; shake things up, bring exciting or shocking sudden changes into the story and help you awaken, stirring you from any ruts and reintroducing you to your inventive, original self here. On the 7th Uranus will Retrograde and slow this down a bit, giving you time to catch up to the changes or new perspectives. He’ll be in Retrograde until Nov 6th over these matters, also giving you time to release what no longer works, go back to any past interests for a do-over or rework current scenarios more to your liking. On March 6th next year Uranus will return to these matters and remain touring here until April 2026 so you should take your time now to figure out what you want and get it right.
Mercury is Retrograde this month until the 19th in your zone of partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or other relationships. This can slow down situations with them, see you or them exiting the relationship for a time or for good, or it can take you back into the past to rekindle old relationships, rework current ones or release what needs releasing. To this end Mercury may throw you into talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, short trips, local activities, or choices about it. In the middle of this, on the 11th, there is a New Moon Solar Eclipse in your relationship zone! This opens up a very powerful 2-week window that can launch you into brand new relationships or help you take things in a current relationship to the next level. So, between the 11th and 19th you have the past and this forward push both in play, perhaps launching into a new relationship with an old beau or specialist, letting go of a bad relationship to give you the potential for the new or getting that new opportunity working via this agent or attorney be reworking an ongoing situation, as examples. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 19th you should have figured out what you want and be moving forward, but do watch for mix-ups or malfunctioning items on the day the energy shifts gears.
Mars spends the first part of the month, up until the 12th, Retrograde in your sign so you are also backtracking when it comes to your needs, body, image, brand, name, title, or identity. This may pull you back to old passions, anger or actions as you review who you are, what you want, what’s going on with you, and where you want to go next. Then, on the 12th, Mars takes his Retrograde into your 12th house where you will be reviewing old passions, anger or actions about a clandestine romance, romantic getaway, karmic union, research interest, investigation, artistic pursuit, spiritual practice, magical interest, psychic ability, hospital, other institution, or dealing with an addiction, secret or deception. You’ll have the potential to release, rekindle or rework things here until the 27th. Once Mars goes Direct on the 27th you should have some clue as to what you want to move forward with in these areas.
The Sun starts to illuminate your zone of financial matters, sex, reproduction, divorce, death, birth, and third-party/triangle scenarios on the 23rd. This puts a spotlight on you over the next 30 days in these areas and urges you to show up and get more personally or physically involved in your needs being met here. You should find you can take the lead and make this about what you want to some extent as you stand out a bit more during this period.
The Full Moon on the 26th brings things to a peak for you with income, purchases, possessions, or products. At this point you should get your finalization, have your breakthrough, wrap up projects, mark any endings, have your celebrations, or note achievements in these areas, aim high.

PISCES:
Venus takes her blessings into your financial affairs, sex life, reproductive needs, divorce situation, dealings with a death or birth, or any third-party situations playing out starting on the 6th onward. That means you may find that you are smoothing out issues during this period or attracting the love or income needs where they should flow here or that beauty is more of a consideration in what is going on. It’s a powerful placement of transformation so look for the joy.
Uranus has been giving you a glimpse of what to expect with his journey through your talks and meetings, interviews and auditions, sales and agreements, offers and decisions, as well as with your short trips or local activities, siblings or neighbors, vehicles or electronics, and just pretty much the way you think and communicate, since mid-May. Before this period Uranus has not graced these topics since the 1930’s through early 1940’s so it really has been interesting getting used to such a highly electrical and unpredictable energy source here. Uranus has a mission to shake things up, bring sudden exciting or shocking changes, and help you free yourself and think in new ways before this is all over. On the 7th Uranus will Retrograde and from now through Nov. 6th he will slow you down in these areas and allow you to catch up with any changes that have happened thus far as well as to go back to any past matters to rekindle, rework or release, or to exit current situations or rework them. Uranus will return here on March 6th next year and stay until April 2026 so take your time now to get a handle on what is going on and work out issues so you’re ready for this big chapter.
Mercury is Retrograde until the 19th slowing down work, health or pet matters and getting you to rework current situations, return to past situations or exit what is going on now. You’ll want to look at any talks meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions about your work, hired help, co-workers, paperwork, health, pets, cleaning, or organizing during this period. It’s a do-over. In the middle of this, on the 11th, there is a New Moon Solar Eclipse in the same territory so although you are focused on something already in play or past this will give you a major boost forward, helping you start something new or take current situations into that next chapter. So from the 11th – 19th it may be a combo of exiting, reworking or past situations plus brand new horizons or new chapters. Then, when Mercury goes Direct on the 19th onward you should have figured it out and be full into the new or next level. Do watch for mix-ups or glitches on the 19th when the energy shifts gears.
Mars is Retrograde in your zone of artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, and research arenas up until the 12th so you’ll have time to revisit old passions, anger or actions to release things, rekindle them or rework them up until this time. Then, on the 12th, Mars takes his Retrograde into your social circle and aspirations. At this point you can go back over ongoing scenarios or return to past situations or exit what is no longer working with friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, personal aspirations, or original projects. Again, look at your passions, anger or actions here in this do-over. You have until the 27th and then Mars goes Direct and you should be ready to move ahead again on these matters.
Starting on the 23rd onward the Sun will start to illuminate your relationship zone and this is your cue to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved with romantic partners, business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, or new ways to handle competitors. This is a 30-day cycle that puts a spotlight on you with these people, helping you stand out, take the lead or make it about your interests in the mix.
The Full Moon on the 26th is in your sign so you end the month with something big going on with or about you. This may be when you are wrapping up something about your name, title, identity, body, image, or brand, or when you are achieving a goal, ending something or being celebrated in some way. All eyes are on you, enjoy.
