It looks like a fairly interesting month for goats.  Mercury and Venus are transiting your polar sign, Cancer, until the 10th and 13th of the month, respectively.  This could cause a few communication problems, particularly in close relationships.  Goats are not exactly known for their warmth, even in August, so it might be in your best interest to back off a bit from that Earth sign dryness.  Make sure that you listen closely and choose your words carefully or you might find yourself all alone on that mountain top.  Fortunately, by the end of the month the aspect will be much friendlier and will undoubtedly help with damage control, if required.

Uranus, planet of change and surprises, is transiting your 3rd House of intellect, which could bring an interesting bit of knowledge your way, particularly if your birthday is in the first two weeks of January. Jupiter is transiting your 11th House of groups, friends, hopes and wishes and he's in trine with Uranus over there in your 3rd, so more than likely you're seeing some major expansion in your associations.  You're finding yourself involved in new, mentally stimulating situations and making more new friends than you have in a long time.  You are usually not the most out-going person around, but these new people have come into your life in a natural and unobtrusive way and you've actually enjoyed it.  This will probably be particularly dramatic this month if your birthday is around December 9-15, since then those two planets will create a sextile pattern with your Natal Sun.  However, since they move fairly slowly, this aspect will affect most Cappies sooner or later.

For most of the month, Neptune will be opposite your ruling planet, Saturn.  Natural House placements will be the 2nd House of possessions and 8th house of sex, death and other people's money, respectively.  The Full Moon on August 9th is right in this vicinity, giving it some additional punch.  You're probably not the type to spend much time in adult toy stores, so I'm assuming this aspect could make you just a bit less conservative than usual regarding some other purchase.  You'll still have a lot of resistance to whipping out that credit card, no matter how much you really want it, but since you usually work your butt off you undoubtedly deserve it, so give it some serious thought. 

The New Moon on the 23rd will be in your natural 9th House of long distance travel, higher education and legal matters along with dreams and visions.  The affect will be strongest for those born December 22-27, but all Cappies will probably find these areas affected.  Maybe you'll decide to plan or actually take a trip or make plans to go back to school.  If you're involved in litigation, buying property or involved in some other kind of legal situation, it will probably be quite a consuming part of your life this month.

All in all, it should be a memorable month with numerous events, some of which could be quite subtle, laying the foundation for the months ahead.
