2008 Astrology Horoscope Predictions - Part 4

FALL: Venus is almost never alone for the next several months, so her action is powerful, and very much tied to working with other people. From August 11 - 18 she is tied up with Saturn (Capricorn and Aquarius) enforcing tough rules, financial limitations and moral lessons of conscience. Mercury (Gemini and Virgo) ONCE AGAIN joins the party August 14, bringing with him news and information, he continues to travel with Venus until September 20. But before they part ways they both join Mars (Aries and Scorpio) from Sept 3-19 - this is THE time to create plans, find ways to re-use and recycle and to strategize and take action. After this Venus is now on her own, as she escapes Mars giving chase just as he overtakes Mercury who turns Retrograde (read this like he’s dropped out of the race to pursue a different interest or agenda).

September poses a very serious focus on the assets, needs and resources of planet earth. We all get more aware of being sustainable. My definition of sustainable is this: anything that supports itself and nourishes all who participate in it. This applies to earth’s resources, business dealings and politics, and is NOT just a concept of going GREEN - it represents wholeness and balance in business as well, it includes fair trade practices, organic growing, less use of credit, more real value backed trade and dealmaking, and above all else - fairness. Ongoing patterns in September support the hard work that needs to be done, especially through deal making and peacekeeping. True leaders this month will be those who can negotiate and make peace.

In October Mercury returns to his ‘King’ (boss, CEO or other ruler) to share the information he got while traveling with Venus and Mars. This is like a cloak and dagger espionage story where the spy (Mercury) went into the battle zone (Mars) in hot pursuit of the thing of value (Venus) like diamonds, money, secrets or a woman. The king, ruler or CEO may or may not be interested in helping to forward the deals and agendas that Mars, Venus and Mercury forged together while they hung out in Libra - the house of deal making. October 25 Chiron goes direct trining Mercury - bringing happy news.
