The Stars This Week: "Be Flexible" - August 4 - August 10, 2008

[I Have A Dream]

Be Flexible

08/04/08 - 08/10/08

In the middle of an extremely productive week, action planet Mars opposes rebellious Uranus on August 6 when you will need to give yourself plenty of room to do your own thing. But first, Venus enters Virgo on August 5, starting a trend for you to tend to the practical matters in your relationships. Then, Mercury's entrance into this earthy, analytical sign on August 10 emphasizes the importance of paying attention to detail.

August 5: Venus enters Virgo

When the love planet Venus enters such an analytical time as this, take a good look at the tangible aspects of your most important relationships. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do for another is to help with daily tasks in a generous manner. Have you seen the smile of appreciation when you remember to pick up bread on the way home from work? Better yet, make an appointment for a couples' massage. Whatever you do, be sure to use this sensible transit to make your relationship run more efficiently.

August 6: Mars opposite Uranus

Mars in earthy Virgo excels at getting things done. Yet when this energetic planet meets electric Uranus, this doer gets a wake-up call in the form of surprises. While you may notice yourself and others feeling rebellious, make sure your rebellion has a point rather than just being contrary! Be certain that what you are doing is worth taking a stand over. Perhaps this is simply a time for you to assess whether you've built enough freedom into your life or not. The ultimate message here is to be true to yourself.

August 10: Mercury enters Virgo

Are you ready to improve your life? Mercury is quite at home in its own sign making this a fruitful transit where you'll be able to get a lot done. Virgo is known for having high standards, making this a great time to get a lot done. Your mind needs something to do with this transit, so get out your pen and notebook, or turn on your computer, and make a list of your goals. Every action is preceded by a thought. Get busy!
