Horoscope for August 2012 for Virgo

Decan 1 (born Aug 23rd to Sep 2nd): The planet that rules your love life - Neptune - has been retrograde since mid-June. This has caused things to become a bit slow and emotional and romantic decisions are probably being postponed for now. In fact, you could have been living in fear: you may have felt terrified to make a choice. The time you spend by yourself - completely alone - is the most important achievement right now, since it will offer some important insights into the future. During this period, though, the period between the 7th to the 9th could be quite positive, since Venus lends a hand to social interactions. Despite all this, your 12th house - Spirituality - will still remain activated; thus there will be a strong urge for reclusion and meditation, which will provide a clear idea of the future. This will be quite good, since after the 23rd, the Sun enters your sign (and your decan), giving you more energy to charge forward with your plans.

Decan 2 (born Sep 3rd to 12th): the prominence will be on your career and your work branch, but not in detriment of your family; in fact, you will be quite able to handle these responsibilities quite well. This will feel particularly good, since you may be feeling quite frisky and romantic. However, if you are single, this doesn't mean that you are looking for a long and serious relationship… Rather, you will be looking for some fun, so don't make promises you can't keep. If you have been delaying important decisions, you won't be able to escape them this month; nevertheless, do try to make them before the 21st. After this day, Neptune walks into your decan, causing some mistakes, confusions, and, even worse, misfortunes, so be careful around this time. Your health will be fine, particularly because on the 8th the planetary influences begin to move forward in this area. This positive atmosphere is also protracted to the work area, so, if you unemployed, this is the perfect time to send out some resumes.

Decan 3 (born Sep 13th to 22nd): until the 23rd (when the Sun enters Virgo), the best thing for you to do is to lay low, rest and relax. Until the 8th, Mercury continues to be retrograde, meaning that communications won't be easy. Nevertheless, from the 14th to the 17th, Venus creates some privileged planetary aspects with Mars, Uranus and Pluto, but you need to be tolerant and take things slowly. Don't be surprised if your romantic relationships and love interests seem to be testing your; simply remain calm and relaxed and things will work out. Your work life could also receive a healthy boost, but only after the 23rd, a time when your creativity and endurance will be greater than ever, so enjoy this confident phase. Due to the effect of Mercury, you should take this chance to assess any financial investments or to reexamine any financial decisions made before. This is the best thing for you to do to improve your future.
