August 2006 Forecast Key Events: Full Moon 8/9/2006 New Moon 8/23/2006 |
|
Uranus, planet of change, surprises and unexpected events, has been transiting your sign for quite a while now and will be there for some time to come. This has undoubtedly has a disruptive effect on your life generally. If your birthday is around the first week of March this will be particularly noticeable this month. Between August 11-16, give-or-take a day or so, Mars will be in opposition to Uranus, which is not usually a very good aspect. In the Aquarius forecast I noted that this aspect could affect their possessions, which includes our physical bodies, and gave extensive warnings to be careful. Since Uranus is in your 1st House, it's more likely to affect you personally, especially with Mars in your 7th House of relationships. Expect the people in your life to behave in unpredictable ways, perhaps showing an inordinate amount of aggression. You may find yourself entirely overwhelmed by it all, in which case your natural tendency will be to do what fish do best, and that's go deeper into your pond and find some nice rushes or rocks to hide in for a while. Along those lines you'll actually have some astrological assistance, but it's a matter of opinion whether or not this is a good thing. Your ruling planet, Neptune, is next door in Aquarius, which just happens to be your natural 12th House that affects the subconscious, inner struggles, anxieties and limitations. The 12th House is home base for Pisces, so with that extra boost from your buddy, Neptune, you will find it far too easy to slip into some figurative SCUBA gear and simply go beneath the surface for a while. If you insist on this response, then while you're there, take a mirror along for some serious self-inspection. Fish really do see the world quite differently from everyone else and maybe it's time to crawl out of the soup onto solid, dry land, much as a tadpole or mud puppy does once it matures into a frog or salamander, respectively. The Full Moon on August 9th falls in close aspect to Neptune, which will give this particular influence quite a bit of extra punch. If you don't bother to look at yourself during this time, chances are someone else will be doing it for you, perhaps in a rather unpleasant way, since Saturn is also in that Full Moon mix. This could elicit a closed-door session with your boss or other authority figure who may not have any understanding, much sympathy, for the under-sea view. Thus, if you can figure some of this out for yourself, you'll be much better prepared should such a confrontation occur and be able to deter a few harpoons if you come back with some logical, well-thought-out responses. If your birthday is between March 13-17 you've probably been wrestling with Pluto for quite a while. It has probably taken the form of power struggles of one kind or another, most likely in your career or perhaps in your community. The fact that this is in square to you Sun will make it particularly personal. People may be reacting to you in a somewhat hostile manner that you can't understand, or, conversely, you may be reacting with too much hostility yourself for the severity of the situation. As a Water Sign, fish live in a sea of emotion and even if you've learned to control yourself on the surface, these kinds of events are likely to cause you a significant amount of stress. Whatever you do, practice healthy stress reduction techniques via exercise, meditation or counseling, not adult beverages or other substances that simply add more delusion and distortion to the world around you. The New Moon on the 23rd will be in your polar sign, Virgo, and be particularly significant for those born between February 16-22, most likely affecting their close relationships in some way. |
