Saturn ends his retrograde August 25th in fellow fire sign Sagittarius, and over the last few months, you may have struggled with feeling restricted and limited with your friends, in groups, with your causes, or your dreams for the future, but now that the retrograde is ending, you can work to find more freedom to do things as you wish.

August brings with it a Mercury retrograde starting August 12th in earth sign Virgo. A planet is called retrograde when it appears to be moving backward; it isn’t actually moving backward, it only looks that way from our view here on Earth.

You can be overly pessimistic, stuck in foul moods, and down about life. You may need to take step back and gain more perspective, otherwise you can be relentless and agitated. This can be a good time to work on transforming something for the better again. The Sun enters Virgo on August 22nd while Mercury is retrograde in Virgo, and the Sun shines a light on what we need to focus on and do to make the retrograde better.

Mercury retrogrades in Leo for the first week of September, and we can start getting back to normal mid-September.

August also brings the second set of eclipses for 2017. Eclipses are similar to new and full moons, but amplified, impacting for up to six months before and after. Lunar eclipses are similar to full moons, and solar eclipses are similar to new moons. A lunar eclipse occurs in your sign, Aquarius, on August 7th, and this is the ultimate reaping what you’ve down. You can see the hard and smart work you’ve done over the years rewarded, and you can make progress or are presented with opportunities. If you haven’t been responsible, hard-working, or focused, then you may experience major setbacks, and have to readjust the way you’re going about things. Your emotions can also be much stronger, and you can be more open with them. A solar eclipse occurs on August 21st in Leo, and you can meet new people, enter into new relationships, partnerships, agreements, and commitments, and can be more open to compromise.
