Astrology Forecast for August 27-September 2, 2012

Monday, we finally feel that we are truly representing ourselves in matters of conflict or passion. Things may be intense right now, but there is a sense that the confusion that was there recently has gone. The clarity that is coming about should make things much less frustrating. That being said, our emotions are currently pulling us towards our passions and causing us to be a little ambitious. This may have helped create an opposition or strain on friendships or romantic interests, especially early in the day. With Mercury in the 12th house, communications and business are likely to be working properly, but some may not have the best of intentions. Work on organizing your thoughts and creating more structure in your life where it is needed. This will extend outwardly and create positive opportunities and experiences currently.

Tuesday morning, we may see some repercussion from our overly ambitious demeanor the last couple of days. It will be very easy to fall into old and frankly bad habits, which by the evening could result in a conflict that won't be easily resolved. Make sure you check how much you think you deserve, and ask yourself why. Try to think of it a different way. None of us really deserve anything. A different way of looking at things is needed in this situation.

Wednesday, as the Moon moves into Aquarius and the 6th house, we will find ourselves pulled into our own minds, into alternate ways of looking at things, especially our health and well-being. Afternoon presents the opportunity for successful and greatly beneficial social and career endeavors, but late at night, we will find ourselves unable to accurately express what we are thinking, and this can cause a strain, along with an enthusiasm to clarify, which may actually make things worse.

Thursday, we may finally see a solution to the issues of well-being that we have been contemplating, and will clearly see the patterns and habits that we need to break or make better use of. Make sure you give these thoughts proper time to process. By afternoon, we will be able to rectify an issue of contention, which can actually turn into a very passionate and energetic situation.

Friday's full Moon will be in Pisces, so this is the time to be drawing and solidifying your spiritual outlook, connection to the world, and your personal philosophies. Don't let yourself be drawn away by distraction; don't escape it. Take it in and let yourself get drunk with gratitude and hope for the future. Things may not be ideal right now, but running away won't make them any better. In the morning, we will likely feel a bit reclusive, not wanting to interact with others as much as usual, and may even want to stay in for the day. Be careful though, as this can cause some social complications, especially to your reputation with others. Don't over explain yourself. If you need the time, you need the time. It's that simple.

Saturday, we will find ourselves contemplating our ideal partnership. This will come in the form of fantasy, something we desire, but do not find in our reality currently. This can actually enhance romantic pursuits, if you are looking at it correctly, especially morning into afternoon. Sunday we will wake recharged, full of energy and ambition, and ready to leap out into the world. It should be an exciting day. Make the most of it.

Astrology Forecast for August 20-26, 2012

This week presents the opportunity to straighten out recent misunderstandings and conflicts, especially those that involve patterns you are presently trying to break. Monday we will be drawn towards issues of balance and values. Especially in the evening and late into the night, this will enhance communications and social standings, although it may complicate romantic pursuits, especially among friends. You may find yourself sounding a little boastful, and though in the right light this can definitely be the right approach to launch yourself in the right direction publicly, those close to you may not understand and take offense. This should be a passing feeling and can be sorted out. It is likely that the pros heavily outweigh the cons presently, so don't hesitate to boast to the right person. There is a great opportunity for career change and a huge boost in social status.

Tuesday, the issues of balance and value that we had been thinking about may cause some emotional responses. These are most likely to come about in the evening and will cause us to reach a deeper understanding of our own personal issues with these subjects. Everyone has imbalances and impure values to some degree; it comes with being human. Sometimes though we can see past them and every once in a while we have the chance to create more balance and better values in our lives. It all starts with thought patterns, followed by actions, and this is a great day to work on that.

Wednesday, there will be a shift towards personal reinvention, especially in how we communicate. We may find ourselves saying things that either seem unnatural to ourselves or out of character to others. There will likely be a strong pull towards sensuality and mystery. Especially late at night and into early Thursday morning, this can enhance romantic pursuits, while complicating communications at the same time.

Thursday, as the Sun moves into Virgo, we may be inclined to organize, clean, and analyze. A clearing out of old things is in order. Friday morning we will be drawn to much more personal and internal matters, so Thursday is much better for this. Try to get it out of the way.

Saturday and Sunday, with the Moon in Sagittarius in the fourth house, many will be working on their personal feelings and philosophies, especially in regards to home and family. You may find yourself revising these things, working to create more positive and beneficial relations. Early Saturday morning, it may seem to be complicating career and social pursuits, but by late morning, there will be the opportunity for beneficial communications, and late night can create positive change in very old patterns and habits. Sunday morning may see the resolve of a recent conflict, and by the afternoon our actions will result in a positive representation to others, one that is true to how we feel about ourselves.

Astrology Forecast for August 13-19, 2012

This week, we will start off feeling a little sensitive and hurt, and will want to spend much time inside alone or around a select few. Late Monday morning into early afternoon, this may affect how we may interact with a love interest. The tendency will be to put up a hard front and to ignore any situations, while feeling over-emotional and processing these emotions on our own. There is still a great opportunity to change old patterns, especially in conflict, with Mars conjunct with Saturn in Libra. Balance can be restored and favorable patterns can be created currently. Be very wary of any tendency to gloss over a situation and assume knowledge, or to try and force balance or justice where it is not your place to do so.

With Mercury in Leo in the twelfth house, there is also a danger that our communications could come across as overly boastful or selfish, even if that is not our intention. This has the potential currently to create lasting negative situations. Just be aware, and try to practice any words to yourself first to see how they might sound to others. Late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning especially, be very careful that your emotions don't lead you into an impulsive conflict, laden with the old patterns you are trying to break. If you find yourself in this situation, ask for a few minutes to gather your thoughts before you attempt to work through any misunderstanding, and make sure you approach it with a clear head, an acceptance of vulnerability, and a new method of conflict resolution. Try to avoid "knee-jerk" reactions at all costs. This is crucial currently, as there could be long-reaching negative consequences if we allow ourselves to get overly emotional and lose control.

Thursday morning, we will find our emotions have shifted to feelings of compassion and generosity, but with a touch of ego and pride. This can either complicate things in our communications and negotiations or enhance them, depending on how we go about it. Be careful to let others have their stand, and to listen to them. Try to see things from their perspective, commend them on their input, and then try to blend your ideas in, always keeping in mind that they may not like them and that is just fine. If you start to push too much, you will surely lose. This is key right now, especially in the area of career and social standings. There is the opportunity to create a lasting impression on someone very important on this day, especially in the morning. Be very aware of your speech and constantly ask yourself how others might interpret your words to make sure you're not sending a mixed message.

Friday, as the Moon conjuncts with the Sun, moves into the 1st house, creating a favorable aspect with Mars and Saturn, we will finally feel that our emotions and actions are working to our advantage, especially in matters of conflict and communication. Late morning into early afternoon would be a great time to revisit any confusion caused earlier in the week and to straighten things out. If you have been working on changing old habits in personal interactions, this is when they will begin to feel more natural and you will start to notice a difference in others' reactions. As these things start to smooth out, and Saturn shifts to the second house, the lesson to be learned will shift from how we communicate to what we value.

Into this coming weekend, our emotions will begin to cause us to over-analyze situations; to try and understand them. Late Saturday morning, we will find ourselves examining our love lives, with this analysis lending understanding and the seeds of fruitful change. Early in the afternoon, we will shift to looking at our current social status and career path. We may in fact be over-analyzing these realms specifically, and can create complications and negative situations that didn't exist. Be careful that you're not in fact fabricating negativity due to lack of understanding. If complications are created, Sunday gives us the opportunity to correct them a bit late morning into early afternoon, as the Moon moves into a favorable aspect with Mercury, then Jupiter. We can possibly tie up some loose ends, and then work on shifting that focus to a larger scope, with the potential for long-reaching positive results.

Astrology Forecast for August 6 - 12, 2012

This week will be great for communications and ideas involving career change, whether that applies to a new position, a promotion, a raise, or simply a positive shift in workplace dynamics. Just make sure that with all else, you pick the right time for these talks. Monday we will be feeling a little impulsive and possibly confrontational, but this can actually be a positive thing right now. Monday evening, these impulses can actually create good luck and a lasting impression. There is still the danger of being misunderstood, with Mercury in retrograde motion until Wednesday morning, but so long as you are prepared and have good intentions, this shouldn't present too much of an obstacle.

Tuesday, we will find ourselves thinking about our principles and personal philosophies. We may find ourselves changing our mind or tempted to cause conflict with others as a result, especially early in the morning. Later in the evening, it will become more of a personal endeavor, with longer reaching sights. You may even figure out some issue of romance that has long been a pest late Tuesday night as a result.

Wednesday, Mercury finally returns to normal orbit, as well as creating a positive aspect with the Moon, allowing us to finally express what we have been feeling for the last couple of weeks, especially our personal values and philosophies. If there was a conflict or miscommunication earlier in the week on these topics, now would be a good time to reconcile if possible. There is the opportunity today to change an old and tired pattern regarding how we handle conflict today. Look to make better habits.

Thursday and Friday, we will feel a shift from focusing on our personal philosophies to a broader scope of personal values within society and specifically in the workplace. Make sure you are still looking for opportunities to observe and change old patterns that do not serve you, especially in these realms and in how you handle conflict. Now is a great time of personal change, so take full advantage.

Saturday, as the Moon conjuncts Jupiter late morning into early afternoon, luck will be on our side as we work to communicate and express the emotions and ideas we have been working through recently. In fact, a key conversation could launch or create a shift in social standings or career endeavors right now. Sunday, we will start to feel that our actions are a better representation of our inner desires and feelings, and later in the day, this will begin to show as we test our new methods and begin to move in a new direction.
