August 2006 Forecast

Key Events:  

Full Moon 8/9/2006

New Moon 8/23/2006

There is quite a mixed bag of aspects out there for Scorpios this month.  Jupiter is still in your sign and will be for quite a while longer, November 23, to be exact.  Of course Jupiter expands everything it touches and generally, when it's in your natural 1st House, it's going to be generating lots of opportunities, improvements and sometimes just plain dumb luck on your behalf.  This will be particularly true when it conjoins your Natal Sun and for this month this will be for those born sometime during the first week of November. 

However, as nice as all that sounds, don't expect a free ride, something that Scorpios especially like as part of that 8th House "other people's money" heritage y'all seem to have.  For one thing, if you were born on the 7th, give or take a few days, you're going to have a T-square involving Neptune in your natural 4th house of home environment and Saturn in your natural 10th House of community status and reputation.  On top of that, the Full Moon on the 9th will give this even more punch. All this combined could throw some major conflicts your way between home and career.  For example, you may have a big opportunity for a promotion at work, but it will involve a lot more hours in the office or perhaps a lot of travel that will compromise you home life.  Neptune can also cause you not to see things clearer so you can be more subject to delusion, in spite of that Scorpio intuition.  One encouraging note is that Uranus, the planet of change and unexpected events, is in favorable aspect in your 5th House, so hopefully whatever you decide will ultimately come out to your benefit, perhaps by allowing you to exercise your creativity to a more satisfying level or maybe you'll meet someone that will have a positive influence on your life. 

Speaking of such, in the beginning of the month Venus is in a rather friendly position and so is Mercury, implying favorable communications.  Their placement in your natural 9th House implies an influence in the area of long distance travel, higher education or legal transactions so if you're going on a trip, going to school or involved in litigation, things should go well in the beginning of the month, but this will degrade as the month goes on, so get it done early, if possible, or maybe put it off until next month. 

Another thing to look out for is the fact that the Sun is in fellow fixed sign, Leo, which is a square away.  This is not a place you really want it to be, so around the date that corresponds to your birthday be extra vigilant and don't put yourself in a position for someone to take a potshot at you in some way.  Furthermore, your ruling planet/God of the Underworld, a.k.a. Pluto, is slogging along in your neighbor's yard, and will be there for quite a while longer.  Toward the end of the month he's going to throw a square at Mars, the God of War, which is somewhat ominous. Unless one of them is in bad aspect to your Natal Chart you probably don't need to worry about it too much.  However, be aware that some excess energy, most likely in the form of aggression, is going into your planetary ruler, so be a bit more on your guard.  It may seem that the world is flat-out against you and if you do anything even marginally offensive you'll hear about it big-time.  So don't make too much noise and also don't take any jabs too personally.  I know as a water sign that's hard for y'all, but it's probably not worth getting too upset about and if you do you're likely to make it a lot worse.

The New Moon on the 23rd, however, should be favorable for 10th House issues, i.e. your community status and reputation.  New Moons generally signify new beginning, so when all is said and done, this will be a busy and most likely eventful month.  Make sure you take your vitamins and get plenty of rest so that by the time you get through everything else you have enough energy left to celebrate what should ultimately be a positive outcome.
