You look fantastic - with sexy Mars in your sign and in your first house, how could you not? Sexy Mars in your sign of Gemini  gives you a Marilyn Monroe (she was also a Gemini) appeal and allure, and you will be attracting them like flies, and persuading and hypnotizing everyone until Wednesday, August 3 - so utilize this time! Strike while the iron is hot!

Now is really the time to put your professional plan into practice. You will be able to convince anyone of anything. Your powers of persuasion, despite a Mercury retrograde through most of August, continue even after August 3 as there is so much power in your third house of communication.

You have a wealth of heavenly bodies in your third house ruling communications, the internet, publishing, your neighborhood, friends, siblings, and cousins. The third house is traditionally ruled by Gemini and covers all forms of transport, including cars, trains, and planes! 

Now, in case I haven't covered everything, here's all that your third house rules:

Healing problems of communication

Writing, emailing, and speaking

Expressing yourself through movement, also hands, arms, shoulders

Being in closer touch with your siblings or neighbors

Your neighborhood

Short trips and visits

Analysis

Publishing and recording

Your beneficial bodies are all blessed in these areas. These are: your ruler, brilliant Mercury (retrograde from August 2 - August 26, more on that anon); the glorious, almighty Sun; sweet and beautiful Venus from July 28 to Sunday, August 21; and an exciting new Moon (and your ruler) on Saturday, July 30.

Your communicative power will be felt by all who know you. You will have a particularly powerful effect on the internet and through writing and recording.

This is all good news. Even money will be better. The twists and turns of July so far have been enough for any Gemini - but now it starts to go more smoothly. Where I have cause for concern is in your domestic affairs - you will feel unsettled with Mercury retrograde - and results will be mixed when it comes to dating and partners. One day you will be up (about it), the next, down.

Try to remember this may simply be an experience you are feeling about relationships, rather than anything about this relationship, per se. Think before you speak this August.  

Your self-worth will undergo a profound transformation this August. Give yourself - and others - plenty of space as you go through this.

Or you may say things you regret later. Your most charitable moments will save you. Be cautious and wise with all the people in your immediate neighborhood, including thy neighbors.

Because - well, 'tis the season of Mercury retrograde again! And as Mercury is your planetary ruler you are more affected than most. Mercury retograde is notorious for causing delays and misunderstandings.

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, Gemini, 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!

So prepare to be surprised. The card I picked for you for August is The Wheel of Fortune - which means literally anything could happen. The wheel is turning...

Domestically you will sort it out and in terms of your professional plan, there will be some delays once August begins, but overall you will be very pleased. Mishaps will not throw you and you will feel very proud of yourself as August comes to a close.
