General
The planetary shift to the eastern sector of the Cancer horoscope shows a period of greater independence and personal power to create conditions for yourself. For the time being, cooperation remains a condition for progress. As the planetary retrograde forces indicate, your career is (still) on the back burner. It is a period of preparation, cooperation and adaptability. August 2022 can be accompanied by disappointments. Patience, Cancer.
Love and Relationships
Due to the influence of Uranus in Taurus, your social circle has changed radically. Relationships both private and business are put to the test in order to improve, strengthen or end them.
The triple conjunction between Uranus, Mars and the North Node in Taurus on August 1 and 2, 2022 in the 11th House of Friendships and Social Processes is an aspect of tension, drama and stress in your social circle. By chance, you discover that your partner or someone from the close circle of friends you trusted, talks about you behind your back, belittles you or gives you a bad name. Because your trust has been damaged, it can hurt a lot and that is why Cancer prefers to exclude theirselve. However, It would be good to learn from this unpleasant situation and to be open to new contacts. Saturn retrograde in the 8th House of the Soul can heal existing pain of intimacy and vulnerability by redefining your limits.
Family and Home
Last month of July 2022 was dominated by major cleaning. In literal and figurative terms, you cleaned your private life. Cancer has moved or is moving, renovating or in your immediate living environment there are changes going on. These changes encourage you to make changes not only in yourself, but in your home as well. Until the end of the year 2022, the Black Moon (Lilith) in Cancer can have a negative impact on the family and relatives. The Black Moon brings out all that’s hidden such as extramarital affairs, betrayal, narcissism, indifference or domestic violence. Due to retrograde Jupiter in Aries, Cancer seeks inner change and finds peace and healing abroad. Mercury in Virgo will form a terrestrial trine with Uranus in Taurus in mid-August 2022, which will improve or restore contacts with siblings, close relatives, neighbors or acquaintances.
Career
Retrograde Jupiter in Aries in the House of Career and Destiny probably makes you very focused on your career. You may have to compromise your career or public reputation due to personal circumstances or differences of opinion. Retrograde Jupiter in the House of Career and Destiny asks if you are happy with your current career and social status. Do you care what others think about you? Can you live up to what you promise socially? You may have big plans for the future, but remember that realizing your dream job takes time. This stagnant retrograde period of Jupiter in Aries will last at least until the end of October 2022 and that may be due to family or private circumstances. It will therefore not be easy to concentrate on your work this month.
Finance
On August 1 and 2, 2022, Cancer will face infighting and greed due to the triple conjunction between Mars, Uranus and the North Node in the Eleventh House of Social Processes. Beware of loans that you cannot repay. The Full Moon of August 12, 2022 is conjunct retrograde Saturn and falls into your eighth House of Shared Power and Resources, the Hidden and Intimacy. That means the focus is on the financial affairs of your spouse, business partner, or loved one. A period of settlement and clarification of inheritances and common property through death or divorce, debts and external sources of income. There is a chance of money through inheritance or a salary increase, including financial results such as dividend or return from investments. You have to ensure focus and a strict financial policy. Due to the influence of Venus in Leo trine retrograde Jupiter in Aries, you can expect a deferred payment, a pay increase, a financial windfall or a bonus in the second half of August 2022. Social skills and interpersonal interactions are a prerequisite for generating profit. Stay thrifty, don’t get into debt, don’t get too excited, but don’t miss opportunities. Look at what you have and hold on to it.
Health
It is of the utmost importance that you know how to find a balance between work and relaxation. As you know, mental health is just as important as physical health. Body, soul and spirit are one. From August 21, 2022 to March 25, 2023, red Warrior Mars will travel through Gemini. Gemini is your 12th House of Cosmic Consciousness and Letting Go. Don’t set the bar too high for yourself. Take your time regularly to relax and get back to who you are. You may experience insomnia during this phase or have more active dreams (including daydreaming). In addition to regular exercise, you should ensure a varied and balanced diet. It is essential to pay attention to the events that happened in your life before this meaningful transit. It may be a time when you are overtaken by past actions. Mars in the 12th House is beneficial to recover for a rehabilitation trajectory and for a period of retreat to recover. Behavioral patterns from the past that are still present in your subconscious mind will play a role. Work in seclusion as much as possible.
Put your ego aside and offer your help to others.
