Increase Your Value?

Your financial health may be on your mind as the sun transits your 2nd house of income and material goods. It's time to examine the resources in your life and how well you are using them.

The new moon in Leo on August 4 is a great time for you to do some financial planning and set new goals around finances in general. This does not necessarily mean making more money.

This time of year is especially auspicious due to the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal. The alignment of Earth, Sirius and Orion in the constellation of Leo is an opportunity to focus on your manifestations and watch them unfold. This is especially important because it occurs in the days after the new moon, giving every sign an extra blessing from the universe to make your dreams come true.?

Venus moves into Virgo in your 3rd house of communication the same day as the new moon, and Venus is not only connected to love, but what we value.

More does not alway mean better, so it may take a mindset shift for you to recognize that you indeed do have enough, especially when Mercury goes retrograde August 5 in this same house.?

August 19 is the most pivotal point of the month with the Aquarius full moon occurring in your 8th house of shared resources. The full moon coincides with two T-Squares involving Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and the sun, moon and Uranus.

The sun joins Venus in your 3rd house of communication on August 22nd for Virgo season. It may be time for you to speak up if you are indeed looking for a raise or promotion.

Closed mouths don’t get fed, so open up. But do so with facts and caution.
