Take Charge of Your Life
08/20/07 - 08/26/07
We begin the week with the Leo Sun forming a conjunction with serious Saturn on August 21, when it is time to step up to the plate. When the Sun enters hardworking Virgo on August 23, you'll want to make sure you are putting in the necessary elbow grease into make your dreams come true. Just watch that in your enthusiasm when Mars opposes Jupiter on August 23 you don't try to steamroll everyone into coming over to your way of doing things.
August 21: Sun conjunct Saturn
Any conjunction marks a new beginning, and when Saturn is involved it's important to step into your authority. Saturn also provides an important reality check. It shows you the tools you have to work with based on previous building. Astrologers have a saying with this one: You get what you deserve. If you've been working hard, you get the reward. If you haven't, you get a great sense of what you need to do next. Either way, use this time to set yourself on a profitable path.
August 23: Sun enters Virgo
Virgo is a sign that has a beautiful blend of idealism and practicality. It's why so many entrepreneurs are born under this sign. Earthy in nature, yet with a highly adaptable sensibility, Virgo reminds us that dreams are attainable when you roll up your shirtsleeves and commit to the work required. What a great time to write down your goals and begin the process of manifesting them! Why not decide something now that you want to accomplish by the end of the year -- and then accomplish it? You can do it!
August 23: Mars opposite Jupiter
This air/fire mixture is a bit flammable! Mars currently occupies the air sign Gemini -- a time where few people are at a loss for words. Big, expansive Jupiter is in Sagittarius, a sign of beliefs, philosophies and religions. Mars and Jupiter are on opposite sides of the fence in this opposition, and you and the world are likely to be very aware of your differences in ideas, beliefs and points of view in general. Of course, what you do with that realization is what counts! Try to not take on too much or open your mouth before you've thought carefully about what you want to say. Dial back on the need to convince anyone to come around to your point of view. Instead, why not celebrate diversity? It would be a boring world if we were all exactly the same!
