Daily forecasts for August 2010 written by Rob Tillett. Click here for Moonbeam's Month in Brief.
Sun Aug 1:
Team Work
- Many hands make light work, so gather your friends to assist
you today. Share a freshly baked loaf, as it's the old festival of Lammas today. If you have a friend in need, don't hesitate to offer your
services. You'll be surprised how much fun moving, or painting walls can
be when everyone works together as a team. Consider leading a group to
perform a community service, such as picking up trash or serving food
to the homeless. More on Lammas!
Beneficial colours are Pacific blue and platinum.
Lucky numbers are 16 and 25.
Mon Aug 2:
Time Alone
- The reflective Moon moves through your twelfth house of secrets
and solitude, urging you to spend some time alone. So begins your lunar
low cycle, the time when you review the past month's events and turn
inward for spiritual healing. Don't commit yourself to anything above and
beyond your normal activities as you may have less energy than usual to
meet your own obligations.
Receptive colours are midnight blue and sunset pink.
Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.
Tue Aug 3:
Analyse Fears
- Irrational fears may nearly cripple you if you don't have
faith; believe that a benevolent universe wants you to succeed in your
chosen endeavours. Well-founded fears should be analysed carefully, as
you may be ignoring your better judgment in favour of wishful thinking.
Continue to remain in low gear as your Lunar low cycle is in full force.
Propitious colours are lavender and silver.
Lucky numbers are 21 and 30.
Wed Aug 4:
Second Wind
- After an introspective day, the changeable Moon enters your first
house of personality, giving you a second wind. It may be hard to sleep
tonight as your thoughts speed ahead into the future. Some
callisthenics before bed may actually help relieve you of excess energy
and allow you to get much needed rest for tomorrow, when you can make a
great deal of progress.
Fortunate colours are pale violet and mixed stripes.
Lucky numbers are 1 and 4.
Thu Aug 5:
Agree To Disagree
- You may need to agree to disagree with someone today; after
all, if we all thought and believed the same things, the world would be a
boring place. Don't take it personally when someone challenges your
ideas; take this opportunity to go over your views and ask yourself a few
questions. After all, the Twins are among the most intelligent and
interesting of the Zodiac... a little debate won't hurt you.
Fortunate colours are blood red and ivory.
Lucky numbers are 19 and 28.
Fri Aug 6:
Blame The Stars
- With the Moon entering thrifty Cancer and your second house of
personal finances, it is time to count your pennies. If you want to buy
something beautiful for your home, you may find just the thing on sale
today. Yes, go on a shopping spree and blame the stars! A bargain is
out there, you just need to go out and find it.
Fortunate colours are sage green and desert sand.
Lucky numbers are 2 and 20.
Sat Aug 7:
Beautiful Venus
- Welcome love into your life as Venus enters Libra and your
fifth house of pleasure and romance today. Your creativity and sense of
beauty reaches greater heights as Venus adds art and grace to all you do.
Those with children should make a special effort to spend more time
with them now. You'll reap the rewards later in the form of sweet memories.
Auspicious colours are blossom pink and pale aqua.
Lucky numbers are 6 and 24.
Sun Aug 8:
Commotion
- Expect a lot of commotion under your roof as Mercury slows
under pressure in Virgo. Many Geminians will enjoy taking a trip down
memory lane. Just remember that the past is indeed the past... don't miss
out on the blessings of the present. Today sees a more serious approach
to matters of love and children for the Twins, so make some long term
plans while the energy is favourable.
Beneficial colours are moss green and pearl white.
Lucky numbers are 22 and 29.
Mon Aug 9:
In Touch
- Time to get in touch with family members both near and far as the
Moon moves through Leo and your third house of communication today.
You'll enjoy letting everyone know about your recent successes. You may
receive a surprise call, visit or email from someone you haven't seen
in a long time... enjoy the moment, and let bygones be bygones if there
were problems in the past.
Favourable colours are sunny yellow and tangerine.
Lucky numbers are 23 and 32.
Tue Aug 10:
New Moon
- With the Moon in your third house of community, this is a good
day to be neighbourly. Is there someone who could use a home cooked meal
or a hand in the yard? We often have people in need right in our own
neighbourhoods and we don't even know it. Spending time with siblings
can also be quite satisfying under this transit.
Harmonious colours are pale yellow and sky blue.
Lucky numbers are 5 and 14.
Wed Aug 11:
Fussy Geminians
- Don't worry if you haven't made your bed with hospital corners
today; even though the Moon is in critical Virgo and your fourth house of
home and family doesn't mean you have to be overly fussy. If one of
your family members starts picking on you, simply retreat to your room or
get out of the house for a while. Your mantra for the day is 'There is no
such thing as perfection'.
Fortunate colours are pearl white and steel grey.
Lucky numbers are 14 and 41.
Thu Aug 12:
Lighten Up
- You'll be happy to lighten up once the changing Moon enters
your fifth house of pleasure and creativity today. It will be easy to
be optimistic as the Moon blends well with charming Venus and dynamic
Mars. Then again, it may be that you are too confident and will take an
ill-advised risk... do try to keep both your feet on the ground.
Advantageous colours are butter yellow and cherub pink.
Lucky numbers are 5 and 14.
Fri Aug 13:
Romantic Potential
- No matter what you must accomplish today, try to be relaxed about
it. With the Moon gliding through your fifth house of love and
pleasure, you shouldn't take anything too seriously. If someone cuts
you off in traffic, smile and wave... surprise people by responding
kindly no matter how annoying or rude their behaviour is. Love is
definitely in the wind for Gemini, so get down and boogie tonight. Are you superstitious? Read up on Friday 13!
Fortunate colours are plum purple and berry red.
Lucky numbers are 23 and 32.
Sat Aug 14:
Good Times
- The Twins can look forward to good times as the Moon blends
well with the shining Sun. This is not the night to stay home and watch
television, so plan to get out with your favourite pals. You'll be
charming and witty, more than deserving of your reputation as one of
the most interesting signs of the zodiac. Leave your inhibitions at
home and have some fun!
Soothing colours are amethyst purple and chestnut brown.
Lucky numbers are 42 and 46.
Sun Aug 15:
Tidy Twins
- As the Moon enters your sixth house of health and service, you
need to take a moment to streamline and organise. Cleanliness is truly
next to godliness in many ways and you will feel better once you have
done a bit of housekeeping. Eating properly and exercising regularly will
boost your mental and physical energy, so be sure to do so today.
Fortunate colors are cobalt blue and pure white.
Lucky numbers are 6 and 15.
Mon Aug 16:
Emotional Tension
- Emotional tension is in the air as the sensitive Moon is
challenged by combative Mars and obstructive Pluto; a secret enemy may be
talking behind your back at work. Maintain your own personal integrity
and everything will fall into place. There is no need to try to outwit or
retaliate against anyone. Focus on your obligations and
responsibilities and you will come out on top.
Fortunate colors are steel grey and cornflower blue.
Lucky numbers are 6 and 22.
Tue Aug 17:
Get Personal
- It's time to get personal with your mate, best friend or
partner as the changing Moon enters your seventh house of significant
others. Listening carefully to what your close associates are saying as
well as what they are not saying will help you understand your
relationships much better. Likewise, if you are not clear in your
communication, you are at risk of being misunderstood.
Advantageous colors are pale aqua and soft coral.
Lucky numbers are 7 and 16.
Wed Aug 18:
Strong Emotions
- Strong emotions may spill out in your dreams or in the early
morning hours, Gemini. If there is something bothering you, consider
sharing your woes with a close confidant. You don't have to be
entertaining and funny all the time, you know. It's alright to reveal
your fears and insecurities on occasion.
Favourable colors are baby blue and powder pink.
Lucky numbers are 25 and 34.
Thu Aug 19:
Passion
- With the Moon moving into your eighth house of sex, money and
power, you are likely to feel passion returning today. This could
manifest positively as greater intimacy with your partner or best friend,
but there could also be negative participation in power struggles. The
best way to win at such useless games is simply not to play.
Inspirational colors are ebony and burgundy.
Lucky numbers are 8 and 9.
Fri Aug 20:
Mercury Retrograde
- As Mercury turns tail in your fourth house, you need to hold on
to your hats. It's a cosmically troubling time, but a victory dinner with
your partner is in order tonight, even if you're just celebrating
surviving the past six months! You have been tested and tried
relentlessly, but still prevail. Your trademark resiliency is apparent as
your persistence pays off. The next few weeks may bring a promotion or
other form of increase in status. A romantic dalliance is in the stars tonight.
Fortunate colours are pearly white and indigo.
Lucky numbers are 4 and 5.
Sat Aug 21:
Passions Inflamed
- The tendency to go overboard when celebrating with friends is
strong while the Moon resides in your eighth house of sex, money and
power. You won't feel well tomorrow if you let your passions get out of
hand. A flirtation with an associate may get hot and heavy this
evening; watch your step if this is an inappropriate relationship. Read more on Mercury Retrograde!
Favourable colors are aubergine and apricot.
Lucky numbers are 27 and 45.
Sun Aug 22:
Fresh Ideas
- You'll have plenty of fresh ideas as the changing Moon enters
your ninth house of travel, education and adventure. It's time to do
something completely different, so get out of the house and into the
great, wide world. The Twins thrive on variety, and variety is exactly
what the universe wants for you today.
Fortunate colours are maroon and tan.
Lucky numbers are 30 and 36.
Mon Aug 23:
Difference of Opinion
- A difference of opinion may threaten to get out of hand as the
Full Moon nears; those of you with in-laws may be reaching the end of
your rope. It's time to take an objective, detached attitude. Avoid
letting the ego-fuelled arguments of others upset you. Everyone is
entitled to his or her own opinion, whether we agree or not.
Advantageous colours are army green and khaki.
Lucky numbers are 33 and 39.
Tue Aug 24:
Full Moon
- Today's Full Moon may have you facing personal feelings you've
been trying to ignore. You can distract yourself with all the friends and
fun you want, but something still seems to be bothering you. Take time to
really think about who you are, what you want out of life and where you
seem to be headed. You may want to spend more time with your parents.
Favourable colours are basic black and cream.
Lucky numbers are 35 and 44.
Wed Aug 25:
You Need Balance
- You may have your nose so far down on the grindstone that there
isn't much left for you to breathe with. Consider taking a leisurely
lunch to change your pace today. Sure, there is much for you to do, but
you also need to have balance in your life. Despite what you think, the
Powers That Be will not think you are a devoted employee because you work
all the time. They will think you are crazy if you don't take a break!
Favourable colours are garnet red and steel grey.
Lucky numbers are 17 and 28.
Thu Aug 26:
Out of Your Hat
- It may be up to you to pull a rabbit out of your hat at the
office today; only your special brand of magic will do. Your mate, best
friend or partner may not appreciate your workload now, so try to be
patient and understanding. With any luck, your supervisor or other
authority figures in your life will be supportive and helpful.
Lucky colours are pale blue and ivory.
Lucky numbers are 8 and 10.
Fri Aug 27:
Friendly Persuasion
- As the Moon joins fortunate Jupiter in assertive Aries and your
eleventh house of friends and associates, it is time to enjoy a little
friendly persuasion. Go ahead and join your pals for good times
tonight; you certainly have been working hard enough to deserve a
break! Besides, even the most business minded Geminian knows that
networking is vital to a healthy career.
Positive colours are cobalt blue and hot pink.
Lucky numbers are 11 and 13.
Sat Aug 28:
Power of Love
- With hunky Mars and sensual Venus in your house of romance, the
power of love is steaming up for you, Twins. Unfortunately, the Moon is
at odds with this sexy pair, so don't count on friends being on your side
if you decide to sneak off behind the change-rooms for a little nookie.
And don't try to talk yourself out of trouble, as retro Mercury and the
moody Moon are at odds too. Make a date for tomorrow, when the powers are
more favourable.
Auspicious colours are ripe peach and berry red.
Lucky numbers are 45 and 48.
Sun Aug 29:
Many Hands
- Many hands make light work, so gather your friends to assist
you today. If you have a friend in need, don't hesitate to offer your
services. You would be surprised at how much fun moving or painting can
be when everyone works together as a team. Consider leading a group to
perform a community service, such as picking up trash or serving food
to the homeless. Spend the evening at home, or in quiet meditation.
Beneficial colours are tangerine and lime green.
Lucky numbers are 31 and 40.
Mon Aug 30:
Don't Push
- Silence may be the sweetest sound as the Moon moves through
Taurus and your twelfth house of secrets and solitude today. This is your
lunar low cycle, so do not attempt to push yourself physically or
mentally. Chatting with your love, or sharing some fun with children is
favoured, but don't be tempted to gamble, as advice may be over-optimistic.
Beneficial colours are midnight blue and sunset pink.
Lucky numbers are 5 and 12.
Tue Aug 31:
Question Marks
- Question marks over someone's ability to tell you the truth are
on display again today. Garrr. Are they deliberately lying to you? Or
only giving you half the story? Tread carefully today, Gemini, but at
least tomorrow will be better.
Fortunate colours are dark blue and russet.
Lucky numbers are 36 and 62.
