You hate to wait. It drives you crazy. You are certainly learning to go with the flow - and man, what a hard lesson this is! Bravo, Aries.

Remember, you are braver than most and you also take on more than most.

Waiting has been the theme of your life recently, so you have taken on the hardest challenge of all.

But look at the rewards - and prizes - when you do. Those of you who need more money - it is coming. You have lotto lucky Jupiter blessing your second house of finance all year long! Until June 2012.

I know you have been waiting on this, too, and now you can help the luck - and fortune - along. With razor-sharp Mercury flying into your sixth house on Thursday, July 28, it is the time to embrace using details for your own advantage.

Rather than looking at the big picture - the forest - and ignoring the branches on the trees, examine the branches, dear Aries!  

Each leaf is worth its weight in gold, and I'm not kidding. You get richer by zooming in on the nitpickety.

And about people, remember your wise sister Aries (and Aries Jupiter) writer Maya Angelou: When people show you who they are, believe them.

Take a tip from destructive global warming; storms and great winds are not the way to go.

Don't let anything like a retrograde Uranus in your sign of Aries chip away at your confidence. You are in a more solid position than you think and can even afford to relax a little.

A past matter concerning home and property comes up again. It would behoove you to look at this for it would work to your advantage now.

Ride each new wave as it comes in. Success is yours!

The first new wave comes in with the new Moon in your sister fire sign of Leo on Saturday, July 30, following your recent gain over a hard obstacle. NOW you start to enjoy your life more!

Then all the action is happening this August in your fifth house of love, conception, and play. You are passionately performing and loving - and now is just NOT the time for control.

Everything is going at its own pace, at its own force.

There is nothing more exciting than an inspired Aries - we want to see you inspired.

All that your fifth house rules:

Conception: of a baby, artistic masterpiece, business plan

Your creativity and giving birth to new projects

Your child or children

Your inner child

Falling in love

Making love

Love affairs

Your desires and sexual self

Artistic performance

Playing and entertaining and dressing up

Parties

Specualting and gambling

Insecurity stops plaguing your subconscious and fears of being old and alone. Also an exhaustive time around the house and home comes to an end and the beginning of August launches you into a whole new energy level.

Your cup overfloweth after August's first week when Mercury enters your fifth house on Monday, August 8, joining sweet Venus. All is now set to go forward in love and in creativity.  

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

It is the perfect time to create - new projects, even business startups you partake in have an awesome future - and it is the perfect time to ask for and receive help from friends and professional colleagues. The full Moon in Aquarius in your eleventh house brings this help to fruition mid-month.

Just watch your famous temper around Wednesday, August 10 and then again at the end of the month.

Mercury, planet of communications, is erratic this month, dancing back and forth between your fifth and sixth houses - and going into retrograde from Tuesday, August 2 to Friday, August 26. Work delays can stir you to irritation but thank goodness this frustration is completely over by August 26.  

Because Mercury is going retrograde in both your fifth and sixth houses, there will be some opportunities for change here this August.

And a ceasing of the difficult changes and challenging transformations you face being torn between what you feel you should do and then what you want to do.

You can play much more as a result, and this is perfect because Mercury retrograde is upon us!

Yes, 'tis the season of Mercury retrograde again - and 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, Aries, 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!

In terms of your Beeg Plans Ahead the big picture will be extra clear when it is over - Friday, August 26, and then it is completely clear for you to blaze ahead!   

And speaking of making your life better and improving your luck - and wealth - here's me talking about Jupiter and my book on The Today Show! Take a look-see! (And please feel free to leave a comment on youtube.)

YOUR LUCKY DAYS! Aries Sun and Aries Jupiter, your times of destiny are:

(Eastern Time) Tuesday, August 16 from 8:01 PM; all of Wednesday, August 17; all of Thursday, August 18; until 8:36 AM on Friday, August 19. 

Check both your Sun sign and your Jupiter sign: double your fortune!

Take care.
