This week, starting August 12th, is incredibly important. We are beginning to feel the effects leading up to the intense Aquarius full moon on August 19th. The Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Gemini is forming a harsh aspect with Saturn in Pisces.Those with planets between 15-17° in Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, and Virgo should pay special attention to this week.
Be Cautious from August 14-16
Normally, a Mars-Jupiter conjunction in individual charts does not bring disaster; on the contrary, it brings success, motivation, and prompts action. However, Mercury is retrograde, and Saturn is making a square aspect to this duo, so I advise caution and avoiding excessive risks. Instead of making sudden decisions, it would be wise to stay calm and consider any actions at least until September. This effect will be at its peak from August 14-16.
Throughout August, prioritize your safety and health. Avoid arguments and don’t push relationships too hard. There may be discussions about who is right or wrong. Keep your distance and don’t give your opponent any leverage.
Meet the Blue Beauty: Rigel
The Mars-Jupiter conjunction occurs on the star Rigel. Rigel is a fixed star, located in the Orion constellation, is a star of the Mars-Jupiter nature. It brings success in trade, education, and the arts. We see it in the charts of many leaders and artists. It does not bring hardship; on the contrary, it is positive. However, like any fixed star, it also has negative sides. The Romans believed it was harmful to cattle and caused storms. The negative aspects of Rigel can manifest as overconfidence, inconsistency, arrogance, violence, immorality, disbelief, prosperity in trade, especially in travels, but also the risk of betrayal and even poisoning.
Safety Tips For August
📌 Orion is a star of war, and the increase in conflict and violence, unfortunately, may also affect dogs.
📌 Sudden weather changes, sudden winds, storms, tsunamis, natural disasters, fires.
📌 Accidents, fractures—airplane and car accidents—if you are planning to travel, please be very careful. If possible, postpone your trip.
📌 Controversial issues, especially differences in opinions related to education, communication and media, law, religion, and beliefs.
War on August: Mars Conjunct Jupiter
This week is going to be one we need to manage carefully. In fact, all of August is like that. Plans might change, sudden situations could arise, and it might be necessary to always have a backup plan ready. The Aquarius full moon is also a harsh one, so those who struggle with anxiety or panic attacks should prepare their lavender oils now.
During this period, disagreements are also common. You might face the return of old issues, like someone saying, “You said this back then.” The best approach is to avoid getting into arguments.
It seems like we haven’t said anything positive, but at least we’re learning stress management, and after all, life is short… it’s not that important.
Wishing everyone a calm and easy August.
