MOON PHASES (New York time, USA):

FULL MOON in AQUARIUS on AUGUST 15 at 08:29: Air with fire, much masculine energy that needs outer manifestation. Try to act intelligently and strategically, as only a Moon in Aquarius knows. Be alert, try to understand what others are going to do. Do not react to irrelevant external stimulus. Not every event deserves your attention. If others ask you too much, try explaining why they cannot have everything on the tray, now and here. Emotional disputes are irrelevant because they will not go anywhere, the others do not have the ears and heart open for you, they are only thrilled with mixed emotions. Better do sports in nature, relax! Avoid the challenges because they are transient.

NEW MOON in VIRGO on AUGUST 30 at 06:37: You will experience a strong link between the emotions and the body. You have a need for perfection. You may become ill when you are stressed.

One of the most important presents from nature are moon phases. I describe in this video the main activities that you can perform more efficient according to main moon phases: https://youtu.be/re4vHIjZNwU

MERCURY transits:

There is a retrograde cycle of MERCURY in LEO and CANCER:

Mercury in direct motion in Cancer starting with 2 August 2019

Mercury in direct motion in Leo starting with 11 August 2019

Retrograde cycle is ended when Mercury ingress in Virgo – on 29 August 2019.

During retrograde cycle of Mercury, communications (in any way), energy-consuming devices, but also thinking and logic can be affected. In general, what you want to convey is not understood or is totally wrong, and controversy can arise from here. The important transactions in these periods are good to be postponed, and if you cannot avoid signing of a contract or an important document, it is preferable to read the document very carefully. If you do not understand something, ask a specialist (lawyer, counsellor, accountant and so on). Postpone important decisions and do not launch business or new products

VENUS transits:

VENUS is in LEO until 21 August: You enjoy fun and creativity within relationships. You will take great pride in your partner. You will also value appearances, and may be proud of your possessions. You are gentle, loving and charming. You express yourself in an affectionate manner and enjoy the company of other people. You also have a love of art and beauty. You can be idealistic and easily hurt.

VENUS is in VIRGO between 21 August and 14 September: You have no business with romance, you need practical results in relationship. The partner must meet some concrete conditions to get your attention. It has to be precise, orderly, clean and punctual. Perfectness embodied, otherwise the class is not passed! And you are passionate about the detailed discussions, I just hope that while making love do not ask your partner if he/she paid the bills! Please do not do this! He deserves at least an orgasm this month!

Jupiter in retrograde motion in Sagittarius

Jupiter in direct motion in Sagittarius starting with 12 August 2019

During this retrograde cycle of Jupiter, people tend to learn from their own experiences some faith-related lessons, and situations may arise when certain adjustments are required for some large-scale projects. If you are traveling during these times, try to organize your traveling better and do not panic if you lose your luggage. You will learn not to rely on the help of others, and you will become more adaptable to reality.

SATURN is already in CAPRICORN, until March 21st, 2020.  Saturn is dignified and functioning well. This is a time for turning a critical eye to those of Your career choices that don’t accurately reflect Your authentic selves. Capricorn and Saturn want respect and Saturn in Capricorn will work hard to earn it. Conservation is a big theme now. Rewards come from putting in the effort. You might also be striving for more authority in an area of your lives now. Saturn demands simplicity, definition, realism, and truth and it tests your weak areas that need strengthening.

Saturn usually requires a better organization or structure of information. Relationship with certain authorities is complicated, so any action, to be completed, requires patience and perseverance.

During this retrograde cycle of Uranus, it’s good to stay open to surprises of any kind. Uranus can cause extreme situations and chaos, but it can also bring memorable moments! A state of restlessness and a desire for change you may feel during this period, so it is good to have moments of self-analysis and see where these states start, and you will find out what you need to evolve to a new level. It is good to write down any idea will go through the head, how strange or absurd it would seem. It’s best to keep a diary.

PLUTO IN CAPRICORN: Pluto in retrograde motion in Capricorn.

Pluto in direct motion in Capricorn starting with 4 October 2019

During this retrograde cycle of Pluto, has a role of resetting an activity in your life and assuming a new beginning. Usually this change is harder as your resistance is higher. As the old Greeks called it Pantai rei (Everything Flows) people prefer to learn that life means a permanent change, which implies that flexibility and adaptability are the most important attitudes to change. And the Chinese, in their special alphabet, the word crisis has two interpretations: danger and opportunity, which means that in any crisis there is at least one opportunity for growth and learning.

IMPORTANT NOTES: In all my astrological research and interpretations, I use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history. When I am writing about aspects between planets, I use aspect from sign to sign; I am using a traditional way of interpretation of aspects. An aspect is not a must to be at perfect orb to have an effect. It is enough if we have a planet in a sign that forms an aspect with another planet from another sign. The most powerful aspects are: conjunctions, oppositions, squares and trines. 

I wish you the best transits!
