Mix Inspiration with Sensibility for Great Results
08/13/07 - 08/19/07
The proud Leo Sun opposes Neptune on August 13, followed by Mercury's opposition to Neptune a day later on August 14 when you may be wondering how to interpret the people and events in your life. Then, communicative Mercury joins authoritative Saturn in Leo in a conjunction on August 18 when clarity returns and it becomes important to make a decision. Luckily, Mercury enters analytical Virgo on August 19 and helps you make beneficial decisions.
August 13: Sun opposite Neptune
When the Sun opposes Neptune, we have reached the midway point of the Neptune retrograde cycle. Neptune turned retrograde on May 24, and this retrograde period will last until October 31. While the Leo Sun is all about creativity and self-expression, Neptune in Aquarius represents the quest for a better life, for freedom, equality, peace and contentment for all. So while it is important to make sure that you are tending to your own hopes and dreams and examining how you can live your life more fully (Sun in Leo), you will be reminded during this opposition that it is equally important to pay attention to the needs of the larger world, including your community and the Earth itself. Examine the house in your own chart where this opposition occurs for greater insight.
August 14: Mercury opposite Neptune
August 18: Mercury conjunct Saturn
The communication planet Mercury joins the ongoing Saturn-Neptune opposition, when it is important to evaluate how realistic your ideas and plans really are. On the 14th, with Neptune in the picture not necessarily everything is being revealed. So think before you leap. Meditate before you act. By the 28th, when Mercury conjuncts Saturn, the rule-maker, there exists a possibility to nail down an agreement. This is a serious conversation. Make sure you know the rules and boundaries of your discussions.
August 19: Mercury enters Virgo
Mercury is quite at home in Virgo -- one of its own signs (the other is Gemini). In this analytical sign of high standards, you are ready to raise the bar when it comes to your own undertakings, efforts and ideas. No slackers or couch potatoes here! Your mind wants something to do. Get off the sofa, get out a notebook and make a list of what you want to accomplish. Just make sure you analyze without getting on the hamster wheel of turning the same thing over and over in your mind. Once you know how to proceed, put it into action!
