As we have made a celebration the previous month, let us continue with this and celebrate the birth dates of  all the stars of   Leo starting with my dear niece Saime.   I wish them all a lucky, glorious, bright and a healthy year. 

Now, let us continue with the other planets.

In the last month’s article we have stated that the planets have taken their positions as the last comment.  Their opposition and struggle still continues.  They have changed places, changed signs, but they still are opposing each other.  The only difference now is that their target is different people and Mars is accompanying  Saturn and Jupiter is accompanying Uranus. 

What I am trying to point out is the  opposition between Saturn and Uranus. However, now Uranus is in Aries and Saturn is in Libra.  It is good that this is the last opposition and this story will end 15 days later and they will not be opposing each other in this manner for many years.  As a matter of fact, Uranus will be returning back to Pisces again and they won’t have any relation. 

The people of  Libra, Aries and those who were born on the first days of  these signs should be careful to stay away from tension, frustration and provocative situations.   They should be alert about the illnesses, operations, accidents or any other dangerous situation. 

They will go back and forth between the old and new conditions.   The competition and the struggles will be more.  There may be the ones who will have  nice opportunites as well as the ones who will not find what they have expected.  

Their freedom may be limited and they have to overcome several obstacles in order to start something , to advance and to be succesful.   Sometimes, even if  nothing comes from outside you may have to struggle and fight with  yourself. 

There may be increased activity  in subjects regarding the police, the military and   problems in maintaining the social order.

During the first week of August there is the T square between Mars, Pluto and Jupiter.   In the following  few days  Mars will leave the group and it will be replaced by Jupiter  and the hard influence will continue till the end of  the month as a T square formed by  Pluto- Jupiter and Saturn. 

These are the influences which are  very powerful and which have a large capacity.  However,  various dangers come along.   There are also some positive influences such as making you  determined and ambitious.   However,    how these  are going to be used depend on the person or on his situation at that moment.   It may also be damaging  for the career and the reputation.    

These influences may give hasty action, hasty attemps, make you  think of  yourself  as being overly authorized, give great expectations, paranoic thinking or fears,  make you do whatever you like and  overcome your limits.   

It makes you struggle with economic, political tricks as wells as the tricks among the collegaues and business partners.

There can be blackmailing,  threatening , bribery  or lies.  This may lead to military power to come into the scene.

It is a time suitable for  problems to arise regarding the military, as well as problems in legal religious, pysychological or metaphysical subjects.  It is very easy to be mistaken.  Before starting any work it would be wise to wait for this influence to pass a little bit  and think about these subjects twice.

This means that this month the ones who should be more careful are the people of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and Libra.   Especially, for those whose birth dates fall on the first days of these sun signs there can be risky situations regarding their identity. 

On August 7th, Venus will be  entering  Libra.  At the beginning it has to deal with the obstacles named as Saturn and Mars.   However, starting from the middle of  the month it rules in its own home and starts giving you luck, goodness, nice things, and easiness. Social relations, activities of art,  rest and enjoyment is waiting for you.

On August 10th the New Moon will rise in Leo.  I can suggest those who have to deal with people in high positions to make use of this period as well as  those who want to present  themselves,  who want to take the first step with confidence and make advancements. It is the time to ask for things.

On August 24th the full Moon is in Pisces.  It is necessary to be careful about  liquid consumption,  medicine and drinks.  It is possible to  go overboard and to be awkward. YOu may loose yourself in the tide of your feelings and be carried away  from the reality.  It is not a suitable time for sea voyage.   Those who are dealing with trade and who want to establish new relations should be very careful. The promises that you make or the promises that have been made to you may not be kept and this may make you sorry. 

The new retrograde period of Mercury will be starting around mid month.  Be careful about the time between August 20th and September 12th.   The whole retrograde period will be taking place in Virgo.  Therefore, it is extremely necessary to be careful in subjects regarding the health, hygiene and nutrition.

For example, if you are thinking of  going on a diet, do not start it during this period, also it wouldn’t be wise to start things regarding your work and do not try to handle your various plans and projects during this time and do not think of making changes regarding yourself. 

The Sun will be passing over to Virgo on August 23rd Monday early in the morning. 

Between August 19th-23rd the Sun and the Neptune will be opposing each other.  These can be confusing days when nothing will be clear.  Your ego energy will be law, therefore you won’t be feeling confident and you may struggle.  It is not a suitable time for taking a step forward with confidence and  to prove yourself.    If, you have to meet people or make agreements we cannot say that you would be successful. 

You may be carried away by a powerful person as you may need a good support, someone to hold onto.  However, do not make any promises by showing your weak sides, do not make any promises regarding the future and do not surrender to that person totally. The reason is that when this influence is over your confidence will be back and you may become aware of your mistakes and regret. 

Especially, this is a really weak position for the people of Leo born between these dates. For various reasons  you may be unwilling, depressed and lethargic.  On the one hand you may wish to attain your wishes, but on the other hand you may feel rather strange.  There can be strange situations among friends.

As a matter of  fact, this is true not only for this month but for the coming months too.  During this period whoever and whatever enters your life  may bring along  various risks.

You may be deceptive or you may be deceived by others.  You may have to encounter various dangers and wish to leave important things aside without any reason and this may upset everything.   You may be feeling as if  there is a trap on every corner. This is risky. It is a time when you should be very careful.

As well as the people of Leo  for those born on the last week of  Scorpio and  Taurus there is the similar risk, therefore I wanted to warn you. 

Between August 25th-29th  the relation between Sun and Pluto is giving a high potential for the earth signs.  If, there are some  things that you want to change regarding the old, then you must make use of this period.  It is an ideal time to refine and renew yourself.  It gives you a deep understanding and perception. 

It is the kind of energy which enables you to overcome difficult tasks, use your will power in the best possible way,  make others listen to what you say, achieve your objectives and make renewals.

The risky part is that it gives you extreme curiosity or  you can become a fanatic.  You should be careful about this. 

I  wish a happy month of Ramadan for the whole Islamic world, wish that we have the optimum benefit out of it and be useful to ourselves and the people around us. 

May you be healthy and peaceful.
