Accentuate the Positive

August is one of those times when accentuating the negative could prove very costly.

After some cautiously optimistic vibes peak on August 9th, when the Sun trines Uranus and squares Saturn, we’ll go back to alternating between good little aspects and minor but unusually jarring bad aspects - for a while.

All of these aspects, good and bad, will take us further into unknown and uncertain territory.

We do know there are more helpful vibes on the way.

Beginning this December and extending through August of 2015, for example, Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn will be trining each other in fire signs, albeit broadly.

But still. Eight months of these supportive vibes, however broad, will help us make something workable, relatively stable and enduring out of all the unfamiliar, uncertain and rapidly changing ingredients of our inner and outer lives.

Even in August, in the shadow of the Sun/Neptune opposition, there are good vibes.

The Sun/Neptune vibes will be intertwined with vibes from the sweet Sun/Pluto trine exact a few days after the Sun/Neptune opposition.

These vibes will be in effect simultaneously.

Guess which vibes most people will focus on.

During that pesky Sun/Neptune opposition on August 29th, Neptune and the Sun will be in mutable signs, Pisces and Virgo respectively. Neptune will also be retrograde.

In the GMT chart, both are also in mutable houses.

So we’re talking about major mutable murkiness here.

Neptune is going to throw every single negative thought and feeling we have in our way and top it off with a lot of muddled thinking and very mixed signals.

All that will interfere significantly with our ability to see the positive potentials and to follow through as we must on our plans.

Remember. The Sun/Pluto trine will be helping us all the while.

In fact, it will have the last word.

It will get us closer to the turning point at the end of December.

The Sun/Neptune opposition could easily undermine our confidence in the future just when we need to act decisively, with confidence and optimism.

So the message for August is to not let fear and doubt take over.

Keep moving forward.

Learn to discern the positive potentials that are too often masked by our own inclination to focus on the negative. ~ Carl Boudreau
