This month is cause for a bit of celebration in the business sector. The planet that rules the bones of those businesses (Saturn) turns direct August 1^st. Expansion has been on hold while details of organization and efficiency were scrutinized. This new information can now be implemented. The last vital piece is the financial framework. With the current value oriented planet Venus, retrograding through September 6^th …larger expenses need justification before moving forward. We tend to over-value items during this time-frame. Venus will be backing into Leo, highlighting investments that involve children and creative ventures. Watch out for the momentary high of retail-therapy, which quickly turns into buyers remorse. Keep the receipt!

The Solar emphasis in fun loving Leo connects us with both friends and family. Squeak out every ounce of fun and laughter this August. Work projects get an extra dose of support with expansive Jupiter going into detail oriented Virgo on the 11^th. This switch of signs gives Jupiter the uncanny ability to support mentoring and health related goals. We see advancements in medicine, health-care and the world of our four legged friends too. This could be a gold rush of sorts for the entrepreneurs out there. Small business gets a shot in the arm with this energy. It’s time for hard work to pay off, and the feeling is less risky with Virgo practicality to temper it. Powerful Pluto connecting to outspoken Mercury has business professionals and other mentors offering plenty of free advice.

Originality and inventiveness spring from connections with partners around the 20^th. Going solo is not in your best interest now. Put your creative foot forward and do your best. Synchronicity is rich with meetings the last week of August. Restlessness plays a part in connecting you with new friends. Two heads are definitely better than one when intellectual Mercury goes into partnership oriented Libra on the 27^th. We’re winding down to resume a more structured schedule the end of August. Lets hope you’re routine is carried forward with a sense of play and laughter. Incorporate the joy you’ve experienced in moments of connection this summer. As Florence Shinn would say, “Every person is a golden link in the chain of my good.”
