AUGUST
Unfortunatelly this year August promises to be one of the most complex months. The reason for this will be three difficult aspects of this year, creating big contraposition and conflict of powers. For the biggest part of the month Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto and Venus will be in problematic aspects. Tension and anxiety will be felt already from the very beginning of the month. This is a very risky month, thus, if you plan journeys, feel it and check if you really need this, if this is necessary for you. The whole month (maybe the last week a little bit less) will be especially accident prone.
This is the riskiest month of the year when nature disasters will cause more problems than usually: at this time an especially great danger and accidents will be caused by storms, fires, explosions, landslides and the like. Big danger will be caused by people too, who will find it hard to concentrate and secure safe traffic and journeys. At this time technical accicents are likely to happen too, and an exeptional cautiousness will be needed in guarding pipelines, sources of supply of matterial and energy, and forests.
This period is difficult for politics and financial structures too – it will not be easy to maintain peace and harmony, even if it is really wished for. Trouble-spots of aggression and war conflicts will expand more than usually and it will be harder to control them. Unfortunatelly, this is a good time for terrorists, manipulators, aggressors – everyone who are getting advantage from confusion and despair of other people.
August is the month when it will be especially easy to stir the balance up both in political life and financial, economical and public structures and cause panic and scandals. At this period one should especially take care of one‘s health, nerve system, most precious relationships and values. Illnesses related to the nerve system will especially easily arise; it will be easy to get into depression, chronic diseases will get more accute.
It is not worth planning neither start of important works, nor expansion of old ones, nor final decisions in August. There will be a need of negotiations and reflections but mostly for preserving what we already have or get oriented in a situation. Nevertheless, despite the risky time, you may need to make hasty decisions, search for possibilities to shift a situation, solve it, change your plans or ways of achieving goals.
Those of you who will work will find difficulties in keeping harmonious and good relations at work with colleagues or superiors. Tension and confusion will easily rise. Changes in laws, government and financial situation will cause difficulties and confusion. If it is possible, you should not overload yourself with big works, you should leave some reserve of time and strength for yourself in order to perceive and integrate necessary changes or simply easen consequences of harder moods. This is the month when the crisis after-effect will be felt stronger than during another time and can get a new scale. During this period it will also be difficult for families and beloved ones to preserve love, peace and harmony in relationships.
At this period weak points will be seen especially vividly, while difficulties will be even thickened. Sudden changes in governmental structures are possible or at least scandals or requirements to change government, laws.
And yet, I do not think that August will become the end of the world or a beginning of a worldly war or plague. And this is quite a lot. A little bit quieter period begins after 22nd August when in summer accumulated tension begins to ease down. Approaching autumn it will be easier to manage things and we will be calmer while dealing with tasks of further evolution, especially when autumn is much better than summer. This we will begin to feel already during the last week of August: it will help us to breath more easily, get back a good mood, optimism and improve our health.
Best days of the month: 2, 5, 11, 14, 15, 17, 22, 23, 26, 30.
Worst days of the month: 3, 7, 9, 13, 16, 19, 20, 25, 27, 28.
