People from your past, including your exes, will be popping up all over, as well as a new and very important relationship forming at the end of July.

I wouldn't be surprised if you receive messages from aliens, too. You are the most visionary sign, after all, and August promises to connect you - and re-connect you - to everyone, including those from outer space and everywhere!

All the main planetary action this August is happening in your seventh partnership house.

Love partnerships. Business partnerships. Boyfriend, Girlfriend. Spouse. Legal contracts. Work agreements.

Just look at all the planetary action in your seventh relationship house!

In here, you have: the glorious, almighty Sun; brilliant Mercury (in retrograde August 2 - 26, more on that anon); sweet and beautiful Venus from Thursday, July 28 to Sunday, August 21; and an exciting new Moon on Saturday, July 30. 

All that is ruled by your seventh house:

All your partnerships, both in love and in business

Agreements

Any kind of contract

Marriage

Love

Friendship and co-operation

Collaborations 

Discussions about beauty and design 

Now, in terms of work and discussions and contracts. And I mean whatever kind of contract - the marriage contract you have with your spouse, your property lease, your book contract, your unspoken contract with anyone (including those aliens):

You have been putting up with a situation for entirely too long, dear Aquarius.

It's beginning to look a little sado-masochistic, if you ask me.

What is this desire you have to sacrifice yourself?  

To punish yourself.

Is it because you think you have brains to spare?

Well, you do - but that's not the point.

You need to re-negotiate this contract or agreement you have. But you cannot sign - or re-sign - an actual contract until Mercury is direct again, on August 26. So this is a whole month of negotiations.

Only another Aquarius would treat you like you treat yourself. Oooh...is this a clue?

Remain on the same course. You are not meant to turn your back on that which you've been doing especially well.

Because you haven't got the recognition you know you deserve.

This is you, Aquarius. Only you.

Self-worth and finances. We must speak of these.

You are comfortable where you are, but it is not the best place for you to be.

You are way too comfortable in the upside-down sacrificial position.

Humans were meant to walk upright.

Demand your true worth, dear Aquarius.

Or howl away to yourself.

And so you are to transport yourself in all your relationships and partnerships right now.

Details are tricky during Mercury retrograde (from August 2 - 26), and so watch for delays, mishaps, impatience - and your own irritation with those whose support you might most need.

Yes, 'tis Mercury retrograde! Remember, everyone goes through this - everyone on the planet - and everyone makes mistakes - so be kind and compassionate to everyone out there.

The official day Mercury goes retrograde is Tuesday, August 2. This lasts - for everyone in the world - until Friday, August 26.

This is the time to take a break, go zen, play a little. Because, for everyone, no matter how hard you try, business is not as usual.

The hardest thing is to have patience. But with patience, come the rewards!

For everyone Mercury rules cell phones, as well as land lines, computers, cars, planes - and all thought and movement, including all forms of travel. He likes to go fast - he is the winged messenger who flies.

But he's going to be retrograding for twenty-four days.

If you are traveling during this time, just relax.

You will be noticing how travel is delayed, phones aren't working properly, and everyone keeps changing times on you.

You need to be aware that you could lose or misplace things - such as your wallet, your phone - cars break down - appointments are forgotten or broken - and the ordered universe generally goes awry.

The good news? It only lasts twenty-four days!

Mercury particularly affects electronics and any form of travel. Back up your computer files. Mercury rules all forms of communications, including, from the 1940's, computers. Computers go wonky during Mercury retrograde, as do phones, and anything that has to do with communication.

The work you can do?   

RE-trograde means to go backwards. The past becomes very powerful. You can re-examine it. Old people pop up in your life.

A great deal of healing is possible at this time. Mercury, after all, also rules healing.  

Retrograde rules all the RE-words.

See, Aquarius, which of these REsonate with YOU:

Reduce, recycle, remix, repurpose, recreate, repair, refresh, reinvigorate, refine, redo, reinvent, recommit, refocus, revive, reconnect, reuse, reform, rejoice, re-evaluate, relive, rethink, renew, reorder, regnerate, respect, reactivate, rearrange, reclaim, revisit, relate

Reciprocate

Receive

Reconstruct, revise, re-engage, rewind

Release, recruit, rewrite, respond, reflect, review, relieve, rebound, remember, reward, reface, reassign, reinforce, rework, revere, refuel, regain

Regard, reinterpret, reconsider, re-educate, repeat.

And, finally, RE-lax. It's really the best thing you can do during a Mercury retrograde. Not to get, as the English say, your knickers in a twist, if things don't go according to plan. That's life!

Keep your word. Respect your achievements. Be gracious and graceful.

The funny thing is, Aquarians can be surprisingly clumsy. Is it because you are so cerebral and brilliant at heart, you forget about the earth?

Keep doing your volunteer job as best as you can, but a work situation needs to improve and you better be bringing in more money.

This is a time of Offering (not of Sacrifice), and you will be blessed here.

I add my blessing!

You have to show enormous grace under pressure. But you can do it, Aquarius. Easy in your stride. No backing down.

In Love: If an earlier partner decision needs re-visiting, do it now.

In Work: Go ahead and sign that contract when Mercury goes direct.

In Business: You need more money! Finis! Do I have to S-P-E-L-L it out?!

Marriage: Tiresome as ever. But So Worth It.

Career: You have a lot of competition in this field you've chosen. Watch your back. Fight for the privilege to work, and to be paid for that work.

You have been dealing in strange currency. Now it is 2011.

You are the Sign of the Future, after all.
