Susan Miller's Pisces Horoscope for August 2016

August may clearly mark a rare and important turning point in your career. You will most likely be happy with these developments. All year long, Mars appears lifeless as it crawls slowly across the sky with little power. Mars is a planet that provides energy, drive, courage, and determination, but it moves slowly throughout March and most of April, finally going retrograde from April 17 to June 29. If you are involved in an important project, you will see slow progress and frustratingly long waits before you see results.

As you know, many people, when they wake up from a long sleep, are always weak and confused, and need some time to recover their spirits and be ready for the next day. You may need to make some reworked schedules and be patient with the delays left over from March and April, and of course May and June look set to get worse, but you are about to be liberated. The days will brighten up in July, and although Mars is still a little tired from sleeping for so long, you will regain your organization and catch up on progress.

Now, by August 22, Mars will regain his former strength, moving forward quickly as the action-oriented Mars that we all know. I could see the path of Mars, so I knew that. When it's retrograde, it takes 12 days to move 1 degree. When it recovers, it only takes two days.

Mars rules the amount of money you receive, so if you are self-employed, the money owed to you was slow to come in, but thankfully, you will get it now, and your financial situation will improve. If you work for someone else, where getting a pay rise was almost impossible, your prospects will improve. For the past two months, Mars has been retrograde back into Scorpio, a favorable position for you, so you may have taken a long trip, focused on a broadcasting or publishing project, or prepared for further study. All of these aspects will bring you benefits.

Mars will now move into Sagittarius, the sign that governs good form and professional progress, from August 5 to September 27. Your career will be in the spotlight, finally, as Mars will be in a strong position and lighting your tenth house of honors, rewards, and achievement. When Mars leaves on September 27, you will have a brief period to catch your breath, but then around the new moon, November 29, you will be the target of more favorable publicity and may receive at least one offer for a new position. If you are a freelancer, you will be working with a prestigious client who will enhance your status in the industry.

Now let's look at the Moon, starting at the top, for there are many shining aspects that will bring you enjoyment and a stream of opportunities. Indeed, August has the potential to become one of your favorite months of 2016, with no red planet to throw you off track. You can gain a lot.

The first day of the month is special, with the Sun and Saturn in perfect sync, so any actions you take on August 1 will have lasting benefits because Saturn will ensure their stability. You will also need to make some decisions about your health, such as consulting a doctor or having surgery, since the Sun is the natural ruler of the sixth house (health), especially the preventive measures you take to strengthen your body. Work projects go well and will boost your reputation.

The new moon will arrive on August 2, which is a new moon full of sweetness and growth. Saturn will mark this new moon, indicating that your love life will become stable, and your creativity will be brought into play at work, receiving a lot of praise. This new moon will illuminate your house of work and health, so once again, it's time to think about ways to stay healthy and get stronger. This is a great new month to join a gym, or if you already have one, to explore a new group exercise class or hire a trainer to take you to the next level. Or, try a new sport and take a professional course. This is also a good time to get your annual tests, including having your eyes checked, your teeth cleaned, or any other tests you know you need. I never recommend you do something I wouldn't do myself - things I just did last month. It’s time consuming, sure, but that half an hour you spend in the doctor’s office could save your life. August is the perfect month to make appointments.

Many people try to get back in shape on January 1st, I just shake my head and say no. Each sign of the zodiac has a specific time to start exercising and staying in shape, and this time it's your turn - August 2 and the two weeks following the new moon. The sooner you get started after the new moon arrives, the sooner you will benefit from the powerful energy of this new moon. The way a new moon works is that its energy is strongest at its first arrival (not before) and gradually weakens as you get closer to the full moon in two weeks. Here's another interesting point: the actions you take immediately after the new moon appears will have the power to affect you all year long, until the next annual new moon arrives on August 21st of next year, refreshing these energies. New Moons are always very powerful.

The sixth house, illuminated by the new moon on August 2, is also the house that rules work, so if you are a freelancer, your phone will start to ring with new people clamoring to buy your products or services. If you work for someone else, you may get the most coveted project in your department, and while working on that project, you can demonstrate your talent, management skills, and willingness to get more work done.

A day when you are likely to receive wonderful financial news will be August 16, thanks to the Sun's cooperation in your work project sector. This sudden money you heard about was not won or received as a gift, but it was earned by you and seems to be related to a task you did earlier. The same day may bring other news related to your health or exercise, such as getting closer to your goal of becoming stronger.

By the time you reach the full moon, August 18, you'll already be craving rest and relaxation, which will light your twelfth house of creativity, independence, and secrets. You might hear a secret, or you might make one yourself. If you need physical therapy, hospitalization, rehabilitation assistance, or other medical protocols, this full moon will bring these to an end, or at the very least, bring them to an inspiring plateau.

Now let's talk about Jupiter, the giver of gifts and good luck. Jupiter has been traveling through your marriage and business partnership zone since August 2015, so this year you could get engaged or married, or feel closer to your existing partner. If you have used Jupiter's golden energy in a business partnership, you have received outstanding help from one or more business partners or partners. Your agent, manager, publisher, writing partner, business partner, investor, or anyone else who can bring professional insight to your business is also an extremely valuable group of people. If you demonstrate your talents regularly, for example, if you are a lawyer who represents a lot of people, you will represent someone of considerable weight this month. You probably already understand what I mean, in case not, you will have another chance to get it~

Jupiter is getting ready to leave his current sign of Virgo and fly into Libra. He should arrive in Libra on September 9. Once Jupiter leaves, he will not be available to return to manage the area of ​​your plans for the next twelve years. That doesn't mean you can't get married for twelve years (heaven, no!) but you will have special luck with a business or romantic partner while Jupiter is in Virgo this year. Of course you will have more opportunities in this life. You also need to check your rising sign.

This month, Jupiter will be in the last few days of Virgo, your opposite sign from Pisces, which is six months away from your Sun sign, and two different planets will make unusual connections with it on two different days.

The first shining day will be August 21-22 (lasting two days), when Mercury will connect with Jupiter. You could get engaged or married August 20-21, or you could find that your business partner is taking extra care of you and be touched by that. Mercury is also the natural ruler of the fourth house (home and family), so you may benefit from real estate. You might get a new apartment, or be able to sell a house, to name two examples. It is also possible to find a versatile rental that can be used as a vacation home even if it is not a permanent residence. You may also get help from a family member - if so, that person loves you and it shows. This will be an unusual day, as Venus and Jupiter have not been conjoined in Virgo since August 23, 1992. Especially since they meet once every twelve years, but they skipped the November 2004 meeting and went straight to Libra. So you see, this month is special!

Finally, I come to the second day I want to point out, August 27, when the sun and the moon are aligned, another dazzling day! Jupiter and Venus are both related to money, and some students of astrology are surprised that Venus is related to your finances. Indeed, there are, so on this day you will find that the royalties and commissions you earn will surprise you. Money seems to be managed quickly in your way and seems to be due quickly through actions that are about to be taken on your partner's behalf. Venus is also connected to your third house of short trips, so you might receive a last-minute invitation from a friend to his or her cabin in the country or take a quick trip to a super romantic place with your partner.

If you haven’t seen Jupiter’s gift in your partner’s hand yet, you might see it on September 1, the first of two total eclipses due next month. The total eclipse arriving on September 1 will come in the form of a new moon solar eclipse in Virgo, in your partnership sector, so wait for news. New moons open the door to new opportunities and commitments - and even though this new moon is mixed in appearance, it will still have positive results. The second total eclipse will be a full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 16. I will discuss these total eclipses in depth next month.

The more you get done early in the month, the better. Mercury will be retrograde from August 30 to September 21, so next month will not be as productive. You'll have more time for yourself, which means September will roll in nicely, giving you a welcome relief after such a busy August! Don't sign any agreements or buy any electrical appliances during Mercury retrograde. Judgment and criticism will subside because Mercury retrograde immediately suggests that the wind has changed direction. Things are changing, but you can't see that right away. You will later, but it will take time to see the whole picture. If you make a deal using priorities that you've been relying on, you'll regret it later because some of your priorities will have shifted.

If you need a computer, new smartphone, or digital kitchen equipment, buy it in early August. I love August 16, when Uranus forms a pleasant aspect with the Sun, and innovative Uranus rules the digital world. Don't rush into Mercury retrograde, but leave space between your actions and the date Mercury retrograde occurs (August 30). It's best not to accept a new job if you haven't worked for a long time, but accept it - if you don't like it, you will find another job later. If you go back to a former boss or company you worked for, that's fine too, because you're just continuing a relationship that you started earlier. This time, Mercury will be retrograde in Virgo, so you may need to reconsider previous plans with a partner or make adjustments in a relationship, or you may need to go back to details that were not thoroughly discussed and finalized before - now is your opportunity to do so.
