Aquarius: Forecast for August 2001

(NOTE: if you know your rising sign, read that sign too, for a balanced forecast. Go to Forecasts)

Freedom versus Commitment

The light of the Leo Sun illuminates your seventh house of significant others for most of the month, placing your focus on your closest relationships. Issues of freedom versus commitment could crop up around the time of the Full Moon, when either you or a partner will need more room to breathe. Your best strategy is to allow each other the trust and freedom necessary for a good partnership to survive. This includes your relationships with best friends and business partners, so be prepared to work things out. After August 23rd, the Sun enters your eighth house of sex, money, and power. You'll be more than attracted to a pristine mystery at the end of the month... the more aloof and secretive someone is, the more you will be dying to make the connection!

Obsession...

The first two weeks of August have you working out the communication kinks between you and a partner. After August 14th, the quicksilver planet enters your eighth house of sex, money, and power. It won't be hard to get caught up in an obsession... some of you will be humming Who do you want me to be, to make you sleep with me? without even realizing it. Don't allow the desire to possess something or someone at all costs make you hide your true personality. Instead, focus on what makes others tick.

This is a great time to study human psychology. Do use caution at the end of the month, when brainy Mercury and brawny Mars are at odds... you could find yourself entangled in someone else's relationship quagmire.

Pleasing Efforts

Venus leaves your fifth house of pleasure and chance for your sixth house of work and responsibilities on August 1st, urging you to take better care of yourself and of others. You might find yourself bending over backwards in your effort to please, but this could pay off in improved relationships with co-workers and supervisors. Your health can improve if you surround yourself with a peaceful environment; bringing plants and flowers into your home or office will be good for you mind, body, and soul. This month also favours adopting a new pet, so be open to the strays that show up on your door. Who knows; some of them could be angels in disguise.

Finding the Balance

Mars is insisting that you have active participation in your eleventh house of friends and associates, but at the same time Old Man Saturn is keeping you from having too much fun. Unfortunately, this might make you have far less patience with your pals than usual, especially around the 14th and again at the end of the month. Finding balance will be your challenge this month. Try to find a healthy balance between your needs, your friends needs, and the needs of your children and/or lover. Whatever you do, don't get behind the wheel when you are mad or upset about something.

DAILY FORECASTS

Aug 1: Inner Beauty

Lovely Venus enters your sixth house of health and service, urging you to spend more time tending to your mental health. Tap into your own personal inner beauty by getting more sleep and creating a more positive environment... keep flowers in your work area and snack on fresh fruits and vegetables instead of processed foods. You'll feel and look better in no time! Fortunate colours are navy blue and posy pink. Lucky numbers are 6 and 38.

Aug 2: Recuperate

Allow your body and mind to recuperate from the stresses of the past few weeks, avoiding unpleasant people and crowded places. If you must attend a social event, you might consider leaving early. The more sleep you can get, the better prepared you will be for the stress of the coming Full Moon, which may find you dealing with a relationship crisis. Favourable colours are spearmint and lavender. Lucky numbers are 21 and 39.

Aug 3: Charming

The changing Moon sails into your first house of personality, helping you to feel like a superstar. Glamorous Neptune adds a note of mystery and intrigue to all you do, so enjoy charming everyone you come in contact with. Of course, there will always be those who do not appreciate your singular style and unique expression. Pay them no mind. Beneficial colours are bright white and ruby red. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.

Aug 4: Full Moon

Today's Full Moon may have you at your most original and uninhibited; let your natural creativity flow freely. You may have to work out a compromise with a mate, best friend, partner, or a competitor as energies in your seventh house demand attention. The Water Bearer is clever enough to arrange for an equitable win-win situation. Advantageous colours are ivory and cinnabar. Lucky numbers are 18 and 28.

Aug 5: Avoid Pettiness

The need for compromise will be apparent as the Full Moon wanes... arguments and disagreements seem to intensify under today's tense aspects. Challenge yourself to be the very best you can be, avoiding pettiness and ignoring the bad behaviour of others. Much can be accomplished if you are willing to see the other side of the story. You can always change the way you respond to others even if you cannot change them. Auspicious colours are blossom pink and pastel orange. Lucky numbers are 37 and 45.

Aug 6: Money Moon

As the Moon moves through sensitive Pisces and your second house of personal finances and values, your sixth sense about money is activated. You may be involved in a power struggle regarding finances with a group or an organization this year as powerful Pluto transits your eleventh house of groups and associates; this is a long term transit that will play itself out over several years, so choose your battles wisely. Advantageous colours are hunter green and terra cotta. Lucky numbers are 20 and 29.

Aug 7: Meaningful Coincidence

There is something in the air at work, or about your personal finances today; the intuitive Moon and sympathetic Venus combine to help you tune in to what is left unsaid. Your status can be affected positively or negatively during this time frame, so pay attention to little things. Coincidences are more likely to be the meaningful kind; synchronistic happenings abound. Beneficial colours are sage green and desert sand. Lucky numbers are 25 and 30.

Aug 8: Recruit

The Moon moves into feisty Aries and your third house of communications today and you may be ready to give someone a piece of your mind. Choose your words carefully, however... this could be the showdown at the OK Corral, so you don't want to show your hand prematurely. You have a chance to recruit others to your side now; make the most of your opportunities. Favourable colours are pale yellow and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 23 and 41.

Aug 9: Strength

The Moon blends well with other planetary energies, giving you the strength you need on this busy day. It seems the phone won't stop ringing and that you are required to be here, there, and everywhere all at the same time. Recruit neighbours, friends, and siblings to help you get everything done. Why do everything yourself when you can delegate? Fortunate colours are butter yellow and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 14.

Aug 10: High Octane

Energy is high as the planets combine in fiery harmony; this is a good day to get a lot accomplished. If you are athletically inclined, you'll find it is easier to push your limits just a little bit farther. If you are trying to meet a goal at work, just an extra hour or two should do the trick. Just remember to fuel your body properly... no candy bar lunches! Beneficial colours are kelly green and gold. Lucky numbers are 13 and 31.

Aug 11: Blue

You might need cheering up as the sensitive Moon passes through your solar nadir; if you find yourself feeling blue, remind yourself that it will pass soon. In just a few days, life will be looking bright again! Many of you will be tending to the emotional and physical needs of your home and family during this time frame. Create good karma by being supportive and responsible. Beneficial colours are pale green and dove grey. Lucky numbers are 29 and 38.

Aug 12: Pressure

Stress and pressure may leave you with a migraine headache before the day is over... take a few deep breaths and give yourself plenty of time to relax and unwind. It may seem like the harder you try to please others the less satisfied they seem; you may need to just walk away for a while. This evening, run a warm bath and let your worries go down the drain. Advantageous colours are oyster and aqua. Lucky numbers are 27 and 35.

Aug 13: Pleasure

The Gemini Moon sails through your fifth house of creativity and romance, placing the spotlight on the joys and pleasures (or lack thereof) in your life. Those of you with children or who work with children will find they are in need of your attention; hopefully this is a positive time in their lives. Creative projects and romantic relationships begin to blossom. Beneficial colours are pale gold and lilac. Lucky numbers are 15 and 33.

Aug 14: Happy Surprises

Today has the potential to be absolutely delightful as the tender Moon and your topsy-turvy ruler Uranus blend harmoniously. Expect happy surprises; keep an eye out for little miracles and meaningful coincidences. Even if life seems dark at the moment, you can be sure things are about to improve. The tide is turning in the universe again; everything will soon be going your way. Advantageous colours are burnt orange and cherry red. Lucky numbers are 19 and 28.

Aug 15: Selfless Service

The Moon enters your sixth house of health and service to others today; unless you have been neglecting your health, the emphasis is likely to be on how you can serve others. You may be in a position where selfless service is required of you. It might seem like everyone wants and needs something from you... take time out to relax before you wear yourself out. Favourable colours are navy blue and ivory. Lucky numbers are 24 and 29.

Aug 16: Chores

It's time to put a little elbow grease into your chores around the house; get organized and get clean! When was the last time you cleaned out your refrigerator? Scrubbed your toilets? Have you been taking care of your own personal health needs? If you have been putting the needs of others before your own, you need to tend to your own business today. Fortunate colours are beige and cobalt blue. Lucky numbers are 12 and 16.

Aug 17: Love

The Moon enters your seventh house of marriage and partnerships today, placing the focus on love. Over the next two and a half days, issues surrounding your closest relationships may come into play. The stress of the past month may have taken quite a toll, so be supportive of your most significant other during this time frame. Get in his or her good graces so that tomorrow's tense aspects won't break you down. Beneficial colours are dusty rose and soft coral. Lucky numbers are 34 and 43.

Aug 18: Meditate

This has the potential to be a really frustrating day, so start off with a prayer or meditation. Tell yourself, I will not be pulled apart today. Nothing anyone can do or say will make me crazy. Next, remember that when the egotistical Sun, the illogical Moon, and unpredictable Uranus get together for a rumble, no sacred illusions are safe. Auspicious colours are spring green and silver. Lucky numbers are 7 and 10.

Aug 19: New Moon

You may need to make a fresh start in your relationships as the New Moon signals change in your closest connections; issues of freedom and independence may be too big for you to ignore. It may be hard for you to find a balance between individuality and teamwork, but with a little patience you can work through all your issues together. Favourable colours are golden amber and garnet red. Lucky numbers are 16 and 19.

Aug 20: Listen Carefully

The Moon connects with penetrating Pluto to make you exceptionally psychic today; listen to that small, still voice inside. At the very least, you'll know what others are thinking by watching the body language they display... pay close attention to how people hold themselves as they face you. You may discover that someone is more interested in you than you previously believed! Favourable colours are burgundy and golden brown. Lucky numbers are 14 and 45.

Aug 21: Other Worlds

Once the changing Moon enters your ninth house of travel and adventure, Water Bearers will be ready for a change. After a longs day's work, find a way to break your routine. Even if you simply sit and watch a show about history or travel this evening, you'll enjoy the window into other worlds. Whatever you do, don't do what you always do. Beneficial colours are auburn and orange. Lucky numbers are 24 and 33.

Aug 22: Innovative

Get out there and strut your stuff as the universe favours the zodiac's innovators. Your original style and unique charm is the true definition of fashion; you are always at least one or two steps ahead of the rest of the world. Don't be afraid to be yourself, even if you know that no one else is anything like you. The world would be boring if everyone were the same. Advantageous colours are olive green and khaki. Lucky numbers are 19 and 28.

Aug 23: Pluto Direct

Powerful Pluto turns direct in your eleventh house of friends and associates, putting you back on track with your group goals and efforts. Some of your greatest growth can occur within friendships this year, so be open to learning more about the way you relate and interact among others. Your passion for important causes will increase during the next few years. Advantageous colours are electric blue and silver. Lucky numbers are 9 and 10.

Aug 24: Public Eye

The Scorpio Moon places you in the public eye as it moves through your tenth house of status; be sure to mind your manners and follow protocol. Although it may be hard for the unique Water Bearer to follow all the rules, you may find your life is easier when you at least pretend to be somewhat conventional! Auspicious colours are basic black and heather grey. Lucky numbers are 8 and 35.

Aug 25: Friends

You'll be ready to taste the joys of friendship once the changing Moon enters your eleventh house of friends and associates. Unfortunately, the taste may be a bit too strong as intense Pluto adds to the mix, but often our closest friends are agents of change and transformation in our lives. You may find yourself thinking of someone special only to hear from them moments later. Advantageous colours are electric blue and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 11 and 21.

Aug 26: Optimistic

Team spirit is strong as the Moon moves through optimistic Sagittarius and your eleventh house of friendship. You'll emerge as a strong leader as you work with others, but you may be faced with an opposing view or competition in the near future. Lay down a good foundation for your plans and ideas to guarantee future success. Auspicious colours are sparkling green and bright pink. Lucky numbers are 27 and 30.

Aug 27: Passionate

Lusty Mars and the tender Moon combine to create a passionate atmosphere today; take a few deep breaths and make the best use of this intense creative energy. You may find that your friends and associates are demanding your time and attention; if you have children, be sure you are not neglecting their needs. Advantageous colours are banana yellow and lime green. Lucky numbers are 42 and 47.

Aug 28: Sweet Surrender

Seek out peace and quiet as the Moon drifts through your twelfth house of secrets and solitude; you'll need to recharge your spiritual and physical batteries during your lunar low cycle. It is important for you to release tension that has built up during the past month, and to let go of resentment and frustration. A good cure for whatever ails you is a long, warm tub bath enhanced with peppermint and lavender oils. Favourable colours are ocean blue and seafoam green. Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.

Aug 29: Dreams

Pay attention to any dreams you may have as the Moon moves through your house of subconscious matters; dreams are the language of the sleeping mind. This is a good time to reflect upon the events of the past month and plan your moves for the coming weeks; learn from both your recent failures and successes. Tomorrow is a brand new day! Fortunate colours are midnight blue and silver. Lucky numbers are 30 and 39.

Aug 30: Moon Power

Moon Power is yours as Luna enters your first house of personality; people will be drawn to your unique style and charm. Mysterious Neptune is triggered, so don't be surprised if romantic vibes come your way. Your intuition is sharp, so pay attention to what your inner guide is trying to tell you. Move forward with confidence! Favourable colours are ruby red and pure white. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.

Aug 31: Sparks

Sparks may fly as romantic Venus and the dreamy Moon trigger passion in your life; at the very least, you should enjoy the company of your favorite people today. This is a great night for a date with a new love or an established one... affection and kindness are expressed with ease. Leave your work at the office and step out for a good time! Beneficial colours are crimson and gold. Lucky numbers are 19 and 25.
