Daily forecasts for August 2010 written by Rob Tillett. Click here for Moonbeam's Month in Brief.
Sun Aug 1:
Strategy
- It's best to spend the day trying to recuperate from the stress
of the past few weeks; with your lunar low cycle in full swing, you
should try to relax as much as possible. It's Lammas, or Lughnassadh, so review the events of the past month for a better idea of where you are going; you can plan a better strategy for your future this way. Dreams you have tonight may be revealing, so keep pencil and paper nearby for recording strong images. More on Lammas!
Fortunate colours are coral pink and ocean blue.
Lucky numbers are 21 and 33.
Mon Aug 2:
Capable Bulls
- You may be faced with challenges that seem insurmountable, but
you are truly capable enough to meet them. Your energy is strong and your
charisma is high while the Moon is in your sign. Don't allow fear or
insecurity to stop you from aiming high and avoid a tendency to be your
own worst enemy. Dig your heels into the ground and plan to stay put!
Positive colours are ruby red and golden topaz.
Lucky numbers are 1 and 4.
Tue Aug 3:
Achieve Your Goals
- Responsible Saturn and life-affirming Venus connect today,
making you positive about all you think, feel and do, especially over the
longer term. There is a danger of annoying others with your upbeat
attitude, but you can ignore the sourpusses. Combine a sense of loving
kindness with your determination to achieve your goals for the best
results. Progress is yours.
Fortunate colours are rose red and daisy white.
Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.
Wed Aug 4:
Financial Matters
- Some Bulls may have luck in financial matters as the Moon
activates their second house of personal finances; funding for a
project may be granted soon. Intimate relationships may also benefit from
today's energy, so be open to the needs and concerns of your partner.
Emotions may run high, so find a healthy balance in order to make the
best use of this energy.
Beneficial colours are desert sand and bronze.
Lucky numbers are 2 and 20.
Thu Aug 5:
Poles Apart
- With the sensitive Moon in discord with wise Mercury, it may be
time to agree to disagree. What you value and what your associates
value may seem to be poles apart; then again, it could seem that you're
eye-to-eye with someone when in fact, you're both coming from drastically
different angles. As long as the end result is positive, you needn't
trouble yourself over the petty details.
Beneficial colours are sage green and terra cotta.
Lucky numbers are 11 and 29.
Fri Aug 6:
Sweet Words
- Tell an important person in your life how much they mean to you
today; sweet words spoken now will get you a lot of mileage. With the
expressive Moon entering your third house of communication, it should
be easier to talk about the way you feel. Even discussing your
frustrations will be easier, so don't be afraid to ask for help or
advice. If there is no one to talk to, write a love letter to the
Universe... it really is good to be alive!
Fortunate colours are pale yellow and sky blue.
Lucky numbers are 5 and 23.
Sat Aug 7:
Show You Care
- Venus, the planet of love, spends the next few weeks in your very
unromantic sixth house of health and service, but this will give you an
opportunity to show you care through service to others. Cooking should be
very satisfying now, so consider picking up a new cookbook that appeals
to you and invite some people over. Pets come under the sixth house
influence, so be sure to give your furry friends plenty of attention. A
romance with a co-worker is a good chance for those in the mood.
Positive colours are golden amber and cobalt blue.
Lucky numbers are 33 and 42.
Sun Aug 8:
Express Yourself
- Feel free to express yourself with the Moon in your third house
for most of the day. As Venus joins Saturn today, it's easier to
appreciate of the beauty of traditional, structured, and orderly
conditions, or perhaps your appreciation for the intrinsic harmony of
tradition, structure and order is enhanced. It's easier to see the
need for some order in your life. Children and their needs will be
more demanding, so make the time to listen.
Advantageous colours are royal purple and lavender.
Lucky numbers are 3 and 14.
Mon Aug 9:
Inner Sanctuary
- Pressure begins to build as the outside world makes demands
that take you away from your precious inner sanctuary; some Bulls will
prefer to stay home and avoid social events today. The coming days may be
stressful for some, so take a break right now. Do what you want to do,
when you want to do it as much as possible today. Sometimes it is
necessary to be selfish.
Favourable colours are pearl white and seafoam green.
Lucky numbers are 29 and 38.
Tue Aug 10:
New Moon
- The Leo New Moon urges you to begin a new chapter in your
family and home life; you may be under pressure at work, but what are you
working for to begin with? Chances are the fertile Bull is most concerned
with his or her little family at home. You'll have a chance to make a new
start in the domestic arena, so be open to changes. Some may be expecting
or welcoming a new family member now.
Fortunate colours are aqua and oyster.
Lucky numbers are 10 and 19.
Wed Aug 11:
Moments of Pleasure
- With the Moon in Virgo, it should be easier for you to enjoy
moments of pleasure today, especially with a remarkable woman who can
bring healing and discrimination. Bulls have been working far too hard
lately. It's good to be a dreamer when the powerful energy of Pluto is
transforming your ninth house of the higher mind, but you need to enjoy
the simple things in life from time to time. Play with your children or
watch your favourite comedy tonight. Let the giggles take over for a while.
Fortunate colours are lavender and golden honey.
Lucky numbers are 15 and 24.
Thu Aug 12:
Return to Duty
- You may enjoy a lighthearted morning, but by afternoon it will be
time to return to duty. Once the changing Moon enters your sixth house of
health and service, you'll need to remember to water your plants and walk
the dog (and more often). Some Bulls may be bringing work home from the
office as tasks seem to be piling up, but don't forget to pay attention
to good health habits! Skip the cookies and milk tonight and have fresh
fruit instead.
Advantageous colours are cobalt blue and pure white.
Lucky numbers are 6 and 15.
Fri Aug 13:
Unexpected Benefits
- You could enjoy unexpected benefits from your job or volunteer
work, as the Moon blends well with Mars and Venus in your sixth house.
There is plenty of fun to be had, but with Mercury slowing in Virgo,
guard against becoming too talkative in the presence of your co-
workers. An office romance is in the stars for eligible Bulls! Are you superstitious? Read up on Friday 13!
Auspicious colours are steel grey and mint green.
Lucky numbers are 24 and 33.
Sat Aug 14:
Take Out The Trash
- Today is a good day for cleaning up your inner and outer
environment; avoid junk food and remove clutter that has been gathering
in your home. You'll feel better both mentally and physically once you
get all the trash out of your system. I know you don't want to hear this,
but some of your favourite foods are filled with preservatives and
trans-fatty acids. Start looking for healthy replacements!
Beneficial colours are bright coral and pale aqua.
Lucky numbers are 16 and 41.
Sun Aug 15:
Restore Balance
- Balance can be restored in your relationships as the Moon moves
through your seventh house of marriage and partnerships. Listen to what
you partner has to say and then, after careful consideration, express
your opinions. It is important to be sure you understand your partner's
meaning. Sometimes clarity is lost when strong emotions are involved.
Favourable colors are pale aqua and blossom pink.
Lucky numbers are 7 and 16.
Mon Aug 16:
Cosmic Tug-Of-War
- You may feel torn as angry Mars, overconfident Jupiter, stern
Saturn and the irrational Moon play cosmic tug-of-war today. There's no
way you can please everyone, so take time out to review your options.
With any luck, your mate or partner will understand the pressure you
are under and help you out in any way possible.
Beneficial colors are bright coral and seaweed green.
Lucky numbers are 25 and 34.
Tue Aug 17:
Money Talks
- The changing Moon enters goal oriented Sagittarius and your
eighth house of sex, money and power today. You'll be reminded in one way
or another that money talks, but it's up to you whether or not you
listen.... Try to spend time with your partner, or if it isn't
possible, a close friend today. He or she may have surprising insights
for you.
Opportune colors are ebony and burgundy.
Lucky numbers are 17 and 26.
Wed Aug 18:
Deja Vu
- Some Bulls feel increased passion as the tender Moon embraces
Venus, your life-ruler. Whatever you do now is likely to come from a deep
place in your heart, as the Moon continues to move through your eighth
house of sex, money and power. You may even experience an unsettling
sense of 'deja vu', as your psychic houses are stimulated.
Auspicious colors are chocolate brown and mint green.
Lucky numbers are 27 and 45.
Thu Aug 19:
Day Trip
- Today is perfect for a day trip whether it is a literal
journey, or a journey of the mind. You'll benefit from a change of
scenery, so don't spend the day indoors unless you are watching the
Travel Channel. If you have friends or family at a distance, this is a
good time to call or e-mail and Bulls with troublesome in-laws may
actually enjoy their company now!
Favourable colors are maroon and almond.
Lucky numbers are 23 and 30.
Fri Aug 20:
Retrograde Mercury
- Tricky Mercury does the backwards tango in your fifth house of
romance for the next three weeks, urging you to pay more attention to
your children and to get in touch with your own inner child. While
typically a time of frustration, Mercury Retrograde periods can also be
opportunities to reflect and analyze current situations. Romance is
favoured with a co-worker, or underling. Take a deep breath and use
this to your advantage! Read more on Mercury Retrograde!
Fortunate colours are pale gold and royal purple.
Lucky numbers are 5 and 6.
Sat Aug 21:
Now For Something
- You'll be reminded of Monty Python's 'Now For Something
Completely Different', as the Moon idles through your ninth house of
change, stimulating your desire to travel and learn new things. As
steadfast and dependable as the Bull can be, even you need a little
variety from time to time; make the effort to do at least one thing
unusual in your daily routine. Be different...
Beneficial colors are sea green and light tan.
Lucky numbers are 33 and 37.
Sun Aug 22:
All Eyes On You
- You may feel like all eyes are upon you as the Moon enters your
tenth house of career and status; if you're making a public appearance,
be sure to dress the part. Pluto adds to your natural air of mystery,
while Jupiter helps you look and feel like a million bucks. Hold your
head high so that people will know you are surviving, despite all the odds!
Fortunate colours are coal black and snow white.
Lucky numbers are 8 and 10.
Mon Aug 23:
Loony Toons
- You might be expected to perform as a superhero at work today, so
be sure to eat foods that will give you the fuel you need. There may be
some tension between your career and family life, but you'll just have to
put out the fires one at a time. As the Full Moon waxes, expect loony
behaviour from those around you. Keep a cool head and you can save the day.
Advantageous colours are sapphire blue and steel grey.
Lucky numbers are 17 and 28.
Tue Aug 24:
Full Moon
- Today's Full Moon brings potential for romance. If you are
married, don't miss this opportunity to show your mate that he or she
is still your sweetheart. If you are single, it won't hurt to send
signals out to the one you are interested in. This is also a very
creative and fertile time so if you're trying to get pregnant, tonight
may be the night. If you already have children, spend quality time with them.
Beneficial colours are lilac and rose pink.
Lucky numbers are 3 and 5.
Wed Aug 25:
Gainful Yet Painless
- Sharing experiences and trading anecdotes will benefit you and
your associates today; you can learn vicariously and painlessly this way.
A spirit of compassion prevails, so reach out to those who are less
fortunate. You can give someone the benefit of the doubt without being
a pushover and lend a hand, whilst expecting your friends to stand on
their own two feet at the same time.
Favourable colours are tangerine and lime green.
Lucky numbers are 34 and 43.
Thu Aug 26:
Sublime
- Spending time with your pals is likely to lift your spirits as
the Moon encourages camaraderie in your eleventh house of friends and
associates. Sharing your joys and troubles with compassionate
companions is just what the doctor ordered today. Love may even blossom
among those with whom you work closely. Flirting will be sublime.
Sensual colours are warm brown and sunset pink.
Lucky numbers are 5 and 9.
Fri Aug 27:
Beauty Rest
- You might find yourself getting sleepy as the Moon moves into
your twelfth house of subconscious matters. This is a good time to slow
down and recharge your physical and spiritual batteries, so don't push
yourself. It's not a good night to stay out until three a.m.... plan a
quiet evening and an early bedtime instead. Even you need your beauty rest!
Fortunate colours are lavender and ice blue.
Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.
Sat Aug 28:
Suspended Animation
- You may feel like your life is in suspended animation at the
moment, but be glad of it. You should be in no hurry while the Moon moves
through your twelfth house of subconscious matters. Spend time
reviewing the events of the past month, so that you can make decisions
about your future goals. Remember that history has a tendency to repeat
itself unless you learn from it.
Beneficial colours are midnight blue and sunset pink.
Lucky numbers are 21 and 30.
Sun Aug 29:
Hit the Heights
- Dreams you had overnight may be revealing, so record any strong
images. It's best to spend the morning recuperating from the stress of
the past few weeks; you need to relax. Review the events of the past
month for a better idea of where you are going, as once the Moon dives
into Taurus, you'll feel fully renewed and ready to hit the heights!
Auspicious colours are Pacific blue and moss green.
Lucky numbers are 39 and 48.
Mon Aug 30:
The Good Life
- With the Moon travelling through your first house of personality,
your unique qualities are front and centre. Luna adds a special glow to
the sensuous Bull, making you even more attractive than ever.
Supermodel and the Face of France Laetitia Casta exemplifies what makes
Taurus such an inviting sign; the good life seems to drip from your fingertips.
Ideal colours are honey gold and warm brown.
Lucky numbers are 1 and 5.
Tue Aug 31:
Cross Purposes
- If you've had problems recently with people who are older or more
influential than you, today's not the day to aggravate them, especially
regarding financial or speculative issues. You'll be at cross purposes
with each other again unless you make a determined effort to spell
everything out as clearly as possible. Bulls on the prowl can find edgy
romance, but don't expect it to last.
Favourable colours are coal black and mother of pearl.
Lucky numbers are 2 and 6.
