Mercury at 14 degrees 48 minutes Virgo is trine retrograde Uranus at 14 degrees 48 minutes Taurus at 8.06 am GMT 9.06 am BST 20th August 2021.

A pleasant wakeup call may arrive during this transit. It will act as a remedy for mental stagnation or boredom. The influence of this transit is very helpful in bringing forth practical solutions to dilemmas or issues that have been puzzling you lately, where routine solutions that usually work haven’t done the job. A favourable result is achieved by being methodical and observant. Plans can be made for the near future to prepare for making progress.

Although self-belief may be higher than usual, care should be taken not to overestimate what can happen during unusual events. Taking on more than you can realistically cope with is what you should avoid, as the implications of doing so are unsettling and failure to succeed will certainly hurt your pride. Personal judgement about your current circumstances can go awry if extra effort isn’t made to be rational. Impulsively pushing ahead with your own agenda in a bid to be the queen or king of which particular castle you wish to create can exhaust your energy. Choose wisely and don’t try to take charge of too much if someone equally as competent as you can take the lead.

Mercury is conjunction Mars at 12 degrees 48 minutes Virgo at 3.28 am GMT 4.28 am BST 19th August 2021.

If care is taken, this transit can be productive by putting ideas into action. Complex strategies or projects that are mentally and physically demanding can be carried out efficiently and effectively. There is an immense urge to criticise what doesn’t meet your standards, or if someone acts in a way that you consider to be lacking in intelligence. Mental energy is improved temporarily. Tackling paperwork and contracts won’t be as mentally draining and tedious as it otherwise could be. Battle plans can be constructed with precision that demands you fight with your brain not physical force. It shouldn’t be taken too seriously as this only affects minor issues that play on your mind.

Venus at 24 degrees 59 minutes Virgo is trine retrograde Pluto at 24 degrees 59 minutes Capricorn at 10.42 pm GMT 11.42 pm BST 11th August 2021.

The process of being organised and willing to work to gain more power and control over your life may be very appealing right now. Tough decisions are easier to make about how you use your resources and when you use them, so they can be used as efficiently as possible. If any slow but important process of transformation requires elimination or ruthless choices to be made, thinking carefully before doing so can create a smooth transition with as little disruption as possible.

Mercury at 28 degrees 24 minutes Leo is opposition retrograde Jupiter at 28 degrees 24 minutes Aquarius at 1.20 am GMT 2.20 am BST 11th August 2021.

Efforts to push ahead with seeking information to expand your horizons, or plans for long distance travel won’t go as well as expected. There can be sudden glitches that affect a wide range of people who are “in the same boat” as you are. There may be a general sense of optimism and belief in the ability to overcome unusual occurrences that challenge the mind. Don’t ignore details by paying too much attention to the bigger picture instead of looking at the parts that make it. Also be aware there is an increased rate of people promising more than they can deliver.

Venus at 22 degrees 41 minutes Virgo is opposition retrograde Neptune at 22 degrees 41 minutes Pisces at 12.20 am GMT 1.20 am BST 10th August 2021.

The appeal of being careful with your money is at odds with how it is spent, due to unrealistic and emotional desires that overwhelm common sense. A balance between your imagination and having a sense of reality should be maintained to avoid unnecessary stress caused by a sense of disorientation. If there are challenges caused by deception, confusion or sacrifices that are made which aren’t appreciated, anxiety is felt as a result of unpleasant experiences that occur. It could be difficult to escape from them and as a response you may be choosy about how friendly you are to certain individuals in the future.

There could be experiences during this transit that build strength of character by testing courage and persistence. Confidence and pride may suffer a knock or two due to how you respond to erratic or unexpected changes in circumstances. These changes raise problems that require practical solutions and common sense. It’s best not to be headstrong, or even arrogant enough to assume you know how to and are capable of resolving this on your own terms. Normality will have to take a back seat and occurrences beyond your control may involve an approach that deviates from your usual methods, to exercise damage limitation. Doing what you want when you want won’t be easy and in some cases it will be near impossible.

Mercury at 14 degrees 41 minutes Leo is square Uranus at 14 degrees 41 minutes Taurus at 1.57 am GMT 2.57 am BST 4th August 2021.

Being headstrong and unyielding in your opinions does not help you to withstand revolutionary progressive or changes that would be a lot easier to deal with if you would be willing to change your mind set. This can be an exciting time, although there may be cause for anxiety too, due to sudden and potentially shocking occurrences responsible for a deviation of plans that took a long time to prepare. Acts of rebellion will cause an immense amount of disruption and could be messy. Confidence in the strategy to be used is misplaced, but great strides can be made when least expected.

Mercury in Leo opposition retrograde Saturn in Aquarius 1st August 2021

Mercury at 10 degrees 13 minutes Leo is opposition retrograde Saturn at 10 degrees 13 minutes Aquarius 1st August 2021.

Stubborn and serious thoughts may occupy your mind and the direction they take can go off at a tangent. Harness techniques that support your confidence and support every little bit of enthusiasm you can muster, when your present circumstances may have some gloomy moments. Don’t be too proud to ask for help if you need it. Although it won’t be easy to get hold of, especially from those who are in a position of authority, are older or who have experience that could be useful for you. It may not necessarily be what you want to hear, but it will be what you have to know.

Mercury conjunction Sun in Leo 1st August 2021

Mercury is conjunction the Sun at 9 degrees 33 minutes Leo at 2.08 pm GMT 3.08 pm BST 1st August 2021.

Courage and faith in your ability to express yourself in how you behave and how you communicate is strengthened during this transit. Recognition can be easily found if it’s sought, especially if it’s through social media; be aware there can be a tendency to be over-confident about the response that can be expected. Positive reactions and feedback when you express your ideas and opinions strengthens your self-esteem. Verbal interaction with those who are just as enthusiastic about what you take pride in encourages you to share your knowledge; you can also obtain information from them. If you accept or seek a position of leadership that relies on your personality this could be a chance worth taking.
