Overall this month looks good, but there are reservations. For Aries August 2016 is a month of adjustments in which you need to distinguish between people and situations that may or may not be supportive in your career and your life.
The New Moon of August 2, 2016 falls in your House of Love! In the next two weeks love comes your way. You fall in love or someone falls in love with you, but also children in your life fall in love. You take a new direction in a committed relationship.
Yet, August 2016 is not a good month to start a romance, because there is something you can not explain. You have high expectations of others, but also of yourself is actually the core of the problem. This New Moon may lead to a breakup in a budding relationship if you discover that your expectations are too high. You will have to do some compromising.
Your planet Mars supports the New Moon of August 2, 2016. August 2016 is thus a month of intentions. Make time to do fun things with your family and kids! The first three weeks of August 2016 is the time to enjoy life, time for creativity, time to have fun. However, in August 2016, there are run-ins about the kids. But children are not the core of the problem. In most cases the cause lies deeper. Children hold a mirror in order to learn. You have day-to-day concerns, but you should make time to enjoy yourself.
Good aspects for your career this month. More chance of finding a job or a better position at work or more assignments for your own company. From the second week of August 2016 you get busy at work. A positive period of hard work and focusing on long-term goals for your career. As of August 30, 2016 Mercury retrogrades in your House of Work. That means three weeks of faltering office equipment, computers and problems with communication equipment. So make sure you make a backup of your computer files and that your records are in order! In these economically troubled times there is doubt about expanding or reducing. Be aware of the new laws and regulations in your industry. Make sure you meet all the requirements, but also know your rights as entrepreneur and employee too.
Your planet Mars in Sagittarius supports the fiery New Moon, so this is a good time to make a plan for building financial security for the future. The second half of August 2016 is a favorable time for speculation. However, the money does not fall from the sky. A second job can help. Legal affairs and government are connected to your finances. Write down all the relevant information, such as date and time of each call or appointment. Not all financial targets are achieved this month. Not everyone can be trusted and there are delays and problems, particularly related to legal matters and government. Especially at the end of August 2016 when Mercury turns retrograde.
Please keep an eye on your health, Aries. Maintain a good balance. From the third week of August 2016 is a good time to make changes in your lifestyle, like starting a diet or exercise program. Mercury is your planet of health. Mercury turns retrograde from August 30, 2016, so it's possible that you health plans are delayed.
The first half of this year was dominated by self-interest and independence. As of June 21, 2016 until the end of the year the planetary focus shifted to cooperation, social skills and your ability to cooperate. Take some distance from yourself.
