The Sun brings attention to your 10th house this month. The 10th house rules your work and career. This transit could bring hard-won recognition. It could also bring scrutiny from yourself as you look at your work and see if it matches what you really want to do. In the case where you are not really excited about your field of work or workplace, you may be very motivated to make some strides towards changing that.
Employment changes or the process of considering a change or looking into options are all more likely at this time. Be open to the possibility that although stress and uncertainty may be brought by these changes, there could be opportunities to create more of the life you have envisioned for yourself that you were too hesitant to jump into without the intense provocation or other incentive that could come now.
The Suns placement in this sector could bring some insights into your true calling and luck in finding a more perfect match.
New opportunities or ones from the past through ideas, clients, contacts, or anything else could help in a big way. This is a great time start (or continue) to put together your plan for changing directions. Taking steps in the backdrop, experimenting with a new path, and researching/gathering information are well-supported at this time.
If you already love your work you may find you are extra-excited now about it and could be entering a Renaissance Period with your work. Past labors can show up now in major ways. Opportunities, projects, or contacts from the past can resurface with new life. Opportunities can come in suddenly or things planned in the past could work out in a wonderful way now.
Prepare to be busy and have a focus on business, getting organized, taking care of practical necessities in the forefront.
The area of the chart that is accentuated now also rules your reputation out in the world. Your name and work might become greater known during this transit 🙂
For those who are retired or for whom ‘work/career’ isn’t relevant, and also for all others still in the workplace, the 10th house focus may cause you to be asking for or finding insights about your higher purpose. Contemplation about a plan that would put you on a path where you feel ‘on track’ is great use of the potentials of this month and education and looking into options are great ways to use the the energies so there is plenty of room to explore, wonder, and dream, as well as looking deep into things relevant to your higher work in the world all month and beyond through the year. Even if you can’t see exactly where you are going, taking obvious steps that present themselves now can feel very fulfilling and lead you on a powerful path of positive change. It is an amazing time to ‘try things on’ and experiment. Something exciting to say YES to could come up that brings you great joy.
Since this house also rules father energy, you could find yourself focusing on your dad (or other father figure), or some situation of note may come up involving him. Maybe is going through something and he needs help or he could be assisting you in some way. It might be a good time to check in with him or work on your relationship in some way.
August 2022 is the last month before 1. Mercury retro 2. Mars retro 3. Eclipse season – all ramping up in September.
It is very important to note that for most of August we are still in the awesome last open window of 2022 that is free from personal planetary retrogrades that started June 19 and lasts through August 21.
Because of this “open period” free from personal planet retrogrades that goes until August 21 the first few weeks of August is the last best time of the whole year for launches and any commitments or purchases that are intended to be long term. The retrograde energies that will cover the rest of the year starting in September are great for many things but anything requiring ambition, drive, impetus, extra energy, yours or others whose help you need for the project, may better be instigated and followed through with if possible in August.
August can be a fantastic time for big purchases, agreements, commitments, big moves, job changes, launches, and anything that requires titanic energy, follow through, and zest.
Strong Leo energies bring radiant creativity and focus on children, romance, hobbies, and fun! This is a great month to do something big that you have always wanted to do. Leadership projects or anything that puts you or your creations out in front of people is well-supported at this time.
Strong Virgo energies help with editing, discipline, anything detail-oriented, anything on the topic of streamlining or organization, and also with anything in the health or wellness sector. If you are wanting to make some headway on a new regimen, have diagnostics, find new practitioners, supplements, diet, or other practices that require routine, additionally pets and animals.
