LOOKING AHEAD:August 2009
5 July 09Buckle up. Mars gets into trouble in August as he squares Mercury, Saturn and Uranus—and then opposes dangerous Pluto at month’s end. Squares generate friction, conflict and challenges, and tend to polarize people around the water cooler. Oppositions can do the same thing and test the limits of our willingness to compromise. Mars is never gentle about all this and all connections to the big planets, especially Uranus and Pluto, qualify as Quack + days when difficult situations or conditions are more likely to exist and caution lights come on.
Green lights and lots of good days are sprinkled in between the squares. The good thing about Mars squares is that they dissolve quickly. It’s a good trait of Aries folk, too, that they get over an argument quickly and move on to the next event without missing a step.
This is a good month to attend to important details as Venus travels through Cancer and Mercury visits home sign Virgo. Health, pets, home and family all welcome your attention this month and it’s a good idea to make things secure as Mercury will turn Retrograde in early September.
would love to get your planetary updates so I can make plans in accordance with the cosmos. thanks
