In this article I will present to you the astrological picture for the period from 1 – 31 August. As usual, I will start with the general situation and will make the individual forecasts afterwards.
In the previous article I informed you that the first half of July was charged with life outside the normal rhythm and with the apparent chaos on the surface, the aim of which was to bring some type of rearrangement to find ourselves where we belong. I assumed that these would be days of extremes because of the final retrograde phase of Mercury that started on 27 June and continued to 20 July. Usually the periods of these phases of Mercury are days when we dig back in time - ideologically, mentally and communicatively - and things that are important but have not been noticed come to the fore.
Mercury's retrograde phase as well as the new moon in July took place in a section the symbol of which is associated with renovation, fertility and the safe course of all ongoing processes. This period is exceptionally favourable for circumstances like "Let us start again, let us restart things. Let us go back and start from the starting point." This affects things that have failed the first time. The time was suitable for resuming what was once ruined but is now right in front of your eyes, since such moments are rare in the cosmic order.
The second half of the month brought a strong impetus to find the best - a man, project, place, etc. - and to focus on it. These were productive days and they clarified the circumstances around you. In social terms, I expected that things would subside, chaotic situations here and there around the world would settle down and it would be the turn of "essential things" and of drawing up plans.
July was supposed to bring some of the biggest changes in our lives - directly for some and indirectly for others. A very important period that started after 10 March came to an end. A new direction in any area of life would gradually form in this period and would be relevant over the next 20 years.

What do planetary configurations in August show?
The last days of July supposed a change in "the lens" - a change in the focus and in what we see around us. The decors and actors on our "scene" are being changed. The new theme that will develop over the next three months is transformation, renewal and success. Success is a particularly distinctive topic in terms of initiatives. In practice, success can only be achieved if there are no pre-conditions, negotiations and preparation. But something very strange will happen - only spontaneous moments will be successful; moments in which we feel like giving up and accept what is offered without reservations, negotiations or prior plans.
In practice, we will face situations in which extensive negotiations and plans will eventually fail. Someone around us is making sudden decisions which are somehow illogical and unexpected, contrary to everything that has been discussed. Or we ourselves will do this – we will make decisions that are highly spontaneous and strange even to ourselves. I advise you to pay attention to what people define as ridiculous and impossible to happen, because you'll see it happen eventually. Old people say: "Never say never."

Pay particular attention to all financial and material matters. It is highly likely that you will get involved in suspicious transactions. August is the month when many important financial steps are expected in the world of banks, markets and funds. Some of these steps may not be particularly ethical and moral. Huge capitals will change their owners, while others will disappear without a trace. The "creative" genius for redistribution of earthly goods is vigorously awakening.
In August, serious political conflicts and scandals may break out across the world. Although August is considered to be a month of "holidays," I do not expect that it will be suitable for relaxation in terms of personal events and social perspectives. I think that it will be one of the busiest months for political, business and state elites.

Our emotional world will also undergo profound changes. Almost everybody’s intimate relationships will be very uneasy and hesitant. A "flood" of disappointment in love and drastic changes in intentions will be observed. People may experience very extreme emotional reactions of the type “we were good friends until yesterday, but we are now enemies” and vice versa. I also expect floods in the literal sense across the world, as well as spills of poisons and chemicals.
I will now specify how August will affect the various sectors of the zodiac - what topics will be stimulated, what type of events you could expect. I will make a brief analysis of all of them.

29 December – 9 January
August is expected to be easier for you compared to the quite dramatic period which you have been experiencing, since it is associated with success and support. The most active and hot topic for you mainly includes relationships in the professional and social sphere. But your personal relationships can be tense, too.

For you, August may not be easy, but surely everything will be worth it in the long run.

In August, you still tend to feel hampered and in difficulty. Prospects for the future are worrying you. There will be a lot of tension for you.

Litigation, negotiations and agreements are not excluded and in this way you will be able to remove all hindering circumstances or people around you.

Everything is working for the benefit of your future and you may even have the feeling that you are very lucky. Bear in mind however, that you need to be responsible and thoughtful in terms of luck, since as you make your bed so you must lie on it.
5 November – 18 November
August will provide you with great opportunities for success. In general, this will be one of your best months, since you seem to be at a “top” from where you can clearly see your prospects. You will filter out a certain part of your social circle – you may put an end to some relationships suddenly and unexpectedly. You may get help and support from new and not so close people.

You may experience some hard times, but you will have the chance to follow a path that will take you to other dimensions in terms of your professional and social development. Your focus in August will be on the future and your desire to leave something behind. The hottest topic for the month will be associated with your social groups and your place in them, especially new friends and new interests.
2 December – 14 December
In August you will meet various people, visit new places and experience a lot of situations. But this will happen not because you will go on holiday somewhere. You may feel that you are encountering old friends and people from the past more often than usual. Or that you have created a lot of new acquaintances and contacts. Some of your plans may not be realised or you may need to change them. Do not be sorry, but adapt to the circumstances, since changes will be profitable. You will be focussing on the creation of new projects and relationships. You may find out that you will become a parent.

Before that happens, however, you may be disappointed and put an end to partnerships that have no future. The hottest topic in August will be your personal transformation. Be careful in terms of your finances.
