Gemini
MAY 21 - JUN 20
Feeling Lucky
Gemini, August begins with a very fortunate aspect that could encourage you to trust your instincts where new opportunities or investments are concerned. There’s also a full moon in Aquarius and your sector of far horizons that could coincide with a new romance, celebration, or other event. The people you connect with could be real live wires.
The sun is currently lighting up your communication zone, making this a great time for study, new projects, and promoting your work and services. You’ll be an attractive option and people will want to be around you.
The new moon in Leo on August 16 needs some care, though, because it angles toward electric Uranus, which could make you too impulsive. If you’re too quick off the mark, you could squander a new opportunity.
On the twenty-third, the sun glides into Virgo and your home and family sector and remains here for around a month. Use this time to declutter and organize your affairs. With your place shipshape, you’ll be much happier and at peace.
Chatty Mercury, your guide planet, turns retrograde, also on August 23, and remains so for around three weeks. This isn’t a good time to buy or sell real estate. If you have no other option, try to avoid changing the contract until after Mercury has turned direct on September 15. Don’t leave anything to chance.
On the twenty-seventh, dynamic Mars moves into Libra and your leisure zone for a stay of six weeks, so you’ll be busy doing all the things you enjoy. This is also a hot time for romance, especially if you’re dating and looking for someone new. And if you should have any entrepreneurial ideas, this is the time to act on them.
Finally, there’s a second full moon this month on August 30, this one in the sign of Pisces and your career sector, which could coincide with the completion of a key project. You might be noticed more than usual too.
