Water Carriers have been hosting the transit of Neptune for a while now and it's going to be calling it home for sometime to come, i.e. well into next year. Neptune on the positive side feeds our soul with dreams, inspiration and idealism, while on the negative side it can distort our perceptions and precipitate downright delusion. If your birthday is between February 5-9, you'll find yourself with an infusion of disconnected, often illogical thoughts and ideas that will compromise your usual Air Sign love for data to the point that it's somehow lost in the fog. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because it gives you a different view of the world, but bear in mind that you're looking at it through someone else's glasses. Don't make any long-term decisions or commitments right now, at least not without getting some solid input from one or more of your practical (e.g. Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn) friends or relatives. These aspects will be particularly strong due to the Full Moon on August 9th, which falls within a few degrees of Neptune. Saturn is in that Full Moon mix as well, which will dampen out some of Neptune's illusions but at the same time possibly just throw more conflicting ideas and confusion at the whole situation, perhaps via clash with authority of some type. Uranus, planet of surprises, change and the unexpected as well as your Sign's Ruler, is next door in Pisces in your 2nd House of possessions. This is not necessarily a good combination, especially with Mars lurking out there in Virgo where it will inevitably form an opposition sometime this month. The bottom line is to be extra careful between August 11-16 because those are the aspects that mishaps and accidents are made of. That encompasses a weekend, so if you're taking a late summer fling, make sure your car is in good running condition and be extra careful driving. Watch out for your possessions generally, including locking your car, keeping an eye on your wallet or purse, making sure the stove and coffee pot are turned off before you leave in the morning, etc. etc. The New Moon on the 23rd is in neighboring sign, Virgo and could have some additional influence on your possessions. Remember that your body is considered a "possession" as well, so be careful physically and be vigilant health-wise. As if this isn't bad enough, this is also your Solar Opposition month (a.k.a. half-birthday), which can bring events located anywhere on the good-bad scale. The Sun is in your natural 7th House, so the emphasis is already on relationships, which are likely to be highlighted in one way or another. If you ignore them and focus in too much on yourself, you could trigger some spontaneous combustion from people in your life who are vying for attention. Solar Opps can be very good for you personally or very damaging, the results largely dependent on where your sites are. If you're one of those floating around with Neptune, be especially cautious. All in all, Water Carriers should be cautious this month in all their dealings and not make any major decisions without consulting someone who possesses a lot of common sense. |
