AUGUST
2006 by Bob Mulligan
This is an extremely important month as we shift from
fantasy and self congratulatory fluff to being grounded
and narrowly focused on necessary items as we experience
the last days of summer. August sets the tone for
the rest of the year; this year is the final clarification
on the first decade of the century.
On
the 9th we have the Full Moon at 16 Leo Aquarius at
6:55am. Meditation at the time of the Full Moon in
Leo can bring you in tune with your soul's purpose...
It is a time for remembering why you are here and
what your life is meant to become. Correct contribution
to any group is based on understanding the source
of your gifts.
On
the 23rd the Sun moves into Virgo then we have the
New Moon at 0 Degrees of Virgo at 3:10pm EDT. This
moment affords us an opportunity to set our intentions
for the next lunar month; this moment helps us get
the right calibration in order to experience a wonderful
period going forward, even as the world collectively
has so many problems.
Jupiter
Trines Uranus on the 29th which sets a tone for the
month's end. There is lucky opportunity for those
that can act quickly. Saturn Opposite Neptune on the
31st is the big dividing line. We are already learning
to deal with the reduced circumstances as the "fat"
leaves our lives and we start waking up to the truly
important factors in our lives.
August
1st- 6th - There is a struggle for dominance as many
people and circumstances try to get our attention.
For all of this, every aspect of our lives is moving
forward at an incredible pace... We have to make many
definitive decisions every day.
August
7th - 13th - We are finishing up many "duty bound"
projects and making a natural transition into a new
set of projects. More frequently we are thrust into
the outer world. It is a time to act. We give form
to our cherished dreams.
August
14th - 20th - We are on the road to somewhere but
it is difficult to feel in control of one's own destiny.
Circumstances move us against the grain of our own
instincts. Something larger than our own lives seems
to have grabbed us. Even though compromises are frustrating,
they many be necessary because any winning strategy
now will avoid putting anything vital at risk.
August
21st to the 27th - We are changing gears. Our manner
of production is shifting from using the power of
the personality for task completion, to achieving
goals by focusing on procedures. Slow down, be self
correcting, and then take time to include others;
we move forward and have fun. Eliminate troubling
people, worn out products, and clutter during this
week.
August
28th to the 31st - We give the last oomph to some
important projects then limit our exposure as the
world changes around us.
1st
- Tuesday - Sun Sesquiquadrate Pluto - This is a great
day. Chances for transformation emerge suddenly. Be
prepared to reach new insights. Guess what, you can't
accomplish everything at once, but you can take care
of the necessary tasks.
2nd
- Wednesday - Sun Square Jupiter - Emotional engines
are burning very high octane energy, making this an
exciting and rewarding day. Have fun by enjoying the
bounty of the day without going beyond your personal
limits.
3rd
- Thursday - Venus Quincunx Neptune - New artistic
forms emerge spawned by a desire to produce something
of value. Emotions are strong but "reality testing"
is just around the corner. Keep a list your priorities
close; this will help you evaluate how and when to
change activities.
4th
- Friday - Sun Parallel Saturn - Intermittent insight
bring us to a powerful feeling that we are on the
right track. Steady workmanship brings enduring results.
5th
- Saturday - Mercury Quincunx Pluto - We run in circles
trying to reach our goals. Every so often we may feel
how troublesome our new direction has become. Some
things are best set aside for another day; discretion
is the key to success and comfort.
6th
- Sunday - Sun Quincunx Uranus - Our desire for closure
goes unfulfilled but our need for experience in a
new arena gets quite a boost. Enjoy the adventure.
7th
- Monday - Sun Conjunct Saturn, Venus Quincunx Pluto
- Staying with the "tried and true" is the path to
success today. Alternative methods are open for inspection
but we are most productive if we keep our attention
on the things that have worked in the past.
8th
- Tuesday - Mars Sextile Jupiter - Cutting corners
and saving steps creates efficiency as well as abundance.
9th
- Wednesday - Sun Contra-parallel Pluto, the Full
Moon at 6:55am, Venus Semi-square Mars, Mercury Sesquiquadrate
Uranus - Excitement is in the air; we are inundated
with new ideas, they emerge in the process of our
usual work. Feeling tired and stuck in a rut? Be spontaneous.
10th
- Thursday - Sun Contra-parallel Neptune, Mercury
enters Leo - Clarity eludes us but emotions can become
more determined. Learn to use focus and intensity
to manifest new insights.
11th-
Friday - Sun Opposition Neptune, Venus Sesquiquadrate
Uranus - Our ideals create a powerful undercurrent
of emotion as new artistic impulses punctuate the
flow of daily work. We all want to dream some today
and we have to give some ventilation to our imagination
in order to stay healthy.
12th
- Saturday - Venus enters Leo - Heart centered love
is powerful and is a backdrop to our personal projects.
Embrace your love and focus your attention on your
positive traits.
13th
- Sunday - Mars Opposition then Contra-parallel Uranus
- We are struggling to stay on an even keel as the
violence and anger emerges sideways from the prevalent
enthusiasm. Be careful to not get in front of yourself;
make allowances for circumstances outside your control.
14th
- Monday - Sun Contra-parallel Jupiter - Be careful,
today is full of fun and excitement but don't try
to make up for what hasn't been working out in other
areas of your life.
15th
- Tuesday - Stay focused in a narrow range and enjoy
the day. Slow and steady application of energy brings
results.
16th
- Wednesday - Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pluto and Sun
Trine Pluto - Our own fiery enthusiasm takes us quickly
to new heights today. We are driven to get results.
17th
- Thursday - Mars Semi-sextile Saturn - There is an
edginess now. We can't seem to bring about results
as fast as we would like. Relaxing isn't easy but
your life is better if you avoid putting yourself
under artificial pressure.
18th
- Friday - Mercury Square Jupiter - Whatever we are
doing we can tend to go beyond what is realistic.
People exaggerate now. Watch your discretionary spending.
Tell the truth or say nothing.
19th
- Saturday - Mercury Quincunx Uranus - We can easily
be upset by too many opinions coming to us and trying
to accommodate other people's preferences. New and
unusual ideas add flavor to an already interesting
and colorful day.
20th
- Sunday - Venus Sesquiquadrate Pluto, Mars Quincunx
Neptune, and Mercury Conjunct Saturn - Definite thoughts
bring practical results. Work to make your life correspond
to your ideals.
21st
- Monday - Mercury Opposite Neptune - Ask for clarification
in everything that comes to you as a new communication
today.
22nd
- Tuesday - Mercury Semi-sextile Mars, Venus Square
Jupiter - Hard work can all be for nothing if you
overspend your budget.
23rd
- Wednesday - Sun enters Virgo, Mercury Contra-parallel
Pluto, Venus Quincunx Uranus, the New Moon, then Mercury
Contra-parallel Neptune - We run into many different
snags in our plans but we are able to make progress
anyway. State your intentions, then be willing to
work and wait. This is a time of planting.
24th
- Thursday - Mercury Trine Pluto - We are able to
probe deeply into a situation and then step back and
see with new eyes. Important information is available
for the asking.
25th
- Friday - Mercury Contra-parallel Jupiter - It is
easy to get overwhelmed by circumstances. Running
in tandem with others creates the correct rhythm,
allowing us to "surf" our way through the really difficult
events; data explodes exponentially; good relationships
are necessary for productivity.
26th
- Saturday - It is easy to feel rejected as our feelings
seem to be restricted. Patience and caution are keynotes
but stay emotionally available to the important people
in your life.
27th
- Sunday - Venus Opposite Neptune, Mercury enters
Virgo - We are of two minds. On one hand we are very
creative and we are trying to be exceedingly practical
at the same time. We make this day work by concentrating
on critical details.
28th
- Monday - Venus Contra-parallel Pluto - This is ground
clearing time. We are eliminating things that don't
serve our higher purpose any more. We see our love
more clearly by eliminating that which we do not love.
29th
- Tuesday - Venus Contra-parallel Neptune, Jupiter
Trine Uranus, Mars Square Pluto - There is an undertone
of genuine goodness; tuning into it is easy provided
we don't get swept up into the surface anger that
tends to predominate now. Stay energized but calm.
30th
- Wednesday - You can get lucky in your love relationships
if you focus on what you truly want. The most glamorous
circumstance may be a mirage, looking nice but not
satisfying the soul. Aim for long term durability.
31st
- Thursday - Venus Contra-parallel Jupiter, Saturn
Opposite Neptune, Sun Conjunct Mercury - When we strive
for self honesty, we clarify our current circumstances.
The path to truth is through overcoming both fear
and fantasy. "Baby steps" are rewarded.
