Astrology by David Weatherly
August/September 2004
Energy is high and vibrant during the months of August and September. The
transition from summer to the fall season is pleasant and soothing for the
soul. How often have you struggled to realize your dreams? Now, more than
ever, the full realization of your spirit's inner desires is possible. It
is also a time to come to terms with the effect these goals will have on
your daily life. In order for the dream to fully emerge, changes are often
necessary. Although it may be challenging to charge ahead with such
changes, the needed energy to move forward is now available.
The planet Mercury begins a retrograde period on the 9th of August and it
will remain retrograde until the 2nd of September. As always, when Mercury
moves backwards, there are challenging times. It is wise to have important
matters such as legal transactions and documents dealt with prior to this
time. Communications can become muddled so make sure that important issues
are completed or delayed until the retrograde period is over. This is not a
good time to make major purchases such as real estate or vehicles.
The first part of August is a happy and carefree period. Social activity
will likely be at a high point and the possibilities for romance abound.
This is an excellent time to expand your circle of friends and business
associates. A Venus movement from Gemini to Cancer shifts the focus from
social gatherings to quiet evenings at home with loved ones. Romance takes
soft turns into September with many life partners coming into each other's
lives at long last.
Mars energy is strong, especially in early August while it is in Leo. This
placement brings large amounts of energy and a drive to complete tasks.
Tempers can flare in early August but lasting anger in unlikely as the
dynamic force of Mars is more interested in moving forward. A Mars Uranus
opposition on the 18th of August may create a radical edge to your current
goals. As your dream continues to metamorph into a waking reality, this
planetary opposition might send you off on a brief mental tangent that is
of little use. As Mars moves into Virgo, a greater sense of order will prevail.
Strong wills rule the day by the end of August and into early September.
This will bring some difficulties to business dealings since all parties
will want their way and will be unyielding. Jupiter continues to journey
through Virgo and this brings the economy further into focus with the
coming fall elections. On a personal level this is a good time to pursue
very selective investments. There will be some growth in the technology
field, particularly in medical related technologies. The expansive sense of
Jupiter creates the desire to expand awareness and to become more health
conscious.
On an international scale, there is great risk of a major earthquake in the
month of September. Areas at greatest risk for a quake are California and
Mexico. Much light should be focused on these regions to prevent large
scale destruction. Erratic actions will continue in the trouble torn Middle
East. Military actions will continue to stop and start bringing only small
positive successes.
This is the time to create your personal vision and experience new levels
of your spirit's destiny. Great desires, great goals and a strong inner
spirit able to accomplish any goal are now yours. As you set forth to
embark on the journey of your dreams, these are the qualities that rise
within. A new light dawns in the mind and a deeper degree of commitment to
move forward with the spontaneous action called for in order to fulfill
your life's quest. Now is the time to move into the very future you would
create.
