August continues to be a spiritual time of learning to resolve interpersonal conflicts, on a deep level.  There are three planets going backwards: Neptune (Be confused - or meditate and be creative), Uranus (Unplanned surprises occur - stay calm)  and Venus (our relationship energy has now gone unconscious).  Old friends and lovers from the past now appear in our thoughts and dreams.  Or in the flesh. Not surprising if you still have issues to be resolved!

Life appears to be going slowly or at a stand still with these planets going retrograde (backwards).  Our friend, Saturn turns direct on August 2nd and lets us know what is the current lesson.  The best strategy for dealing with Saturn is to work through things. Whatever the issue, it's better to deal with it than to avoid it.  If you avoid it - it will appear again, and again.

Jupiter, the planet of luck, leaves Leo and enters Virgo, starting August 12th, 2015 for a year. This will affect Virgos - or if you have planets in Virgo like a Virgo moon. Lucky you!
