Aquarius Monthly Forecast

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year, though with a lot more support from the communication gods this time. With the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in your communication sector for over nine decades, it is a given that before leaving on 23rd August, the Sun would form a friendly aspect, as will Mercury before leaving on 3rd September. However, this is always towards the tail end, while this year you have five planets there, all spread out and offering support from the start. In addition with Mercury, the planet of communication in retrograde motion in your relationship sector until 11th August, four of the five planets in your communication sector are already in retrograde motion and with the fifth turning retrograde on 12th August, with support for giving the past and unsaid words a voice throughout the month. Mercury has returned for what is normally a 14 to 15 day visit at the end of June, but with his retrograde turn instead keeping him in your relationship sector until 3rd September. This not only allows the communication and relationship gods to work together all month but this is something that Venus, the planet of love will take advantage of when she returns to your relationship sector on 26th August. Until then, Venus will be wearing her planet of money, desire and attraction hat as she not only joins forces with Jupiter in your work sector, bringing the element of luck and the laws of attraction together here for the first time in over a decade, but with support standing by to get the month off to an empowered start across the income, work and career fronts. However, with Uranus in his first full month in a playful and creative part of your chart in eight decades and Mars returning to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery in eight decades, with no danger of life becoming all work and no play.

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year. What is not the norm is to still have planets in your romantic sector, which can only happen in a rare set of circumstances. It is not physically possible for the Sun or Mercury to still be here this late in the year, it is only possible for Venus to still be here if she turns retrograde and Mars, who will return every other year, was here last year and won't return until 2026. As Venus left on 31st July and neither the Sun, Mercury nor Mars could be here, then who is? The 'who' is Uranus, who early last month returned to your romantic sector for the first time in 77 years to spend the majority of the next eight years here. Because Venus only left in the final hours of July 1st August is Uranus' first full day on his own and with it, a chance to get a proper feel for his influence and his long term focus. Venus was only in your romantic sector for 26 days and as she was late to return, her focus was on making last month as romantically charged as possible. This month is a chance to lead on from that and to focus more on the journey. That will get a boost when Mars not only returns to an adventurous part of your chart on 7th August, but into a friendly aspect to Uranus by 9th/10th August. With Mars not leaving until 22nd September and with support from Pluto, the planet of change and transformation in Aquarius from the start as well, this will lock a mix of romance, passion and adventure into place. Meanwhile, in retrograde motion in your relationship sector until 11th August, Mercury is here for the rest of the month, staying after the Sun leaves on 23rd August and keeping the seat warm until Venus returns on 26th August. The Moon's return from 21st August to 23rd August will ensure you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware during the Sun's final days in your relationship sector. Together, this makes this an important month on the romantic and relationship fronts.
