So let’s talk about your dynamic ruler Mars, being so wildly activated right now:

You love this! With genuine confidence, to embrace the full potential of August…

Cue Mars conjunct Jupiter, in your 3rd house of ideas and communication, exact by August 14th.

Inspiring wisdom is your gig, for big picture thinking that turns you on. So Mars turning up since July 21st, has fired up the courage of your convictions beautifully!

And to the extent you’ve been doing the work, to be crystal clear with whatever you’re on about? The better to charge around, expressing your incandescent truth in the world. You approach communication skills/key dialogues going on, in true Aries style:

Radical honesty. Bossy boots, opinionated bravado. Respecting the peeps just as onto it as you, for an exciting meeting of intellectual equals-to stimulate mutual curiosity & learn from one another. Couldn’t give a fuq attitude, about any dumbass critics who can’t keep up-you’re too busy evolving at warp speed to worry about it.

And yes flirty, romantic repartee could get real! With Lilith in your love/partner sector, dark horse desires are being revealed as well as the imperative of mutual respect, which you totally get. So your superpower here is the courage to talk about it, with sexy authenticity right?

Of course you are charming as fuq, if you choose to be with Mars/Jupiter in your communication sector. Beyond romance, great to network effectively on the social scene or creative/biz collaborations.

Especially Venus exactly quintile Neptune, in your soul sector. So it’s not just vacuous self promotion, that motivates your confidence here. More you are mainlining such divine creative & spiritual inspo, that feels genuinely meaningful to share with the world.

Then Venus into your practical 6th house, from Aug 5th. So full of self assured enthusiasm, to bring all this talent & charm to the day job. But also just in time for Mercury retrograde, in your 6th, dammit. Suddenly you need to pay attention to tedious delays & tricky details, you need to finesse. Cramping your style much?

Yes but before you get too frustrated, Venus & Mercury are exactly conjunct by Aug 8th. Venus direct & Mercury retro moving in different directions, ideally balance gorgeous professional momentum with the patience that, do admit you normally disdain-to slow down and enjoy the process of getting it right? Maybe dealing with any critics on the job, who normally do your head in but now you can handle being diplomatic with? Maybe you get an handle on healthy daily habits, to balance quality of life with being able to perform, with optimum effectiveness on the job. A bit of intelligent discipline goes a long way here.
