Hello chicks!!! The bear says that if you are looking for the most essential thing – to live without working – mother nature offers it to you. I’m already back from vacation… and the first thing I wanted to share is a post about next month, because it’s also going to be ONE of those months. I leave MORE for you to listen to below.
I mentioned there that there were parts of the month where it could feel like you were brushing against a cactus and having to follow the path with all those thorns. If you take a tuna and prick your hand, said the bear, you prick yourself in vain. Picking up a fruit with your hand is bad, because you always have to use a…

From 5th to 28th Mercury retrograde (4º♍ – 21º♌). In addition to the disruptions, breakdowns and minor setbacks typical of retro Mercury, we can expect a look back at what we’ve been thinking about in recent weeks. Likewise, themes from a year ago could resonate, particularly on relational, identity and creative issues.
A year ago, it was Venus retrograding in Leo, and now that Mercury is doing so, we can ask ourselves once again: is this still good for me? How does this change the way I see and express myself? How have my relationships and affections changed over the past year?
Although the abundance of retro planets seems optimal for pausing and reflecting, August will not be a quiet month.
Discomfort, contradictions and disruptions will be felt especially in the middle of the month, and will be precursors of deeper changes that will arrive in September.
In the first days of September, Pluto will enter Capri for the last time, Uranus will enter retro and there will be a New Moon in Virgo which will begin the eclipse season. All of this will forcefully propose a new arrangement for something that has proven very problematic, from its foundations.
Thus: if in September we move towards restructuring and profound changes, August is when the decisive moments occur and the observations of no return which prepare the ground. Thus, the month of August is postulated as one of the most intense months of the year, where we could recognize in all its facets and consequences the cost of passivity and accommodation in a situation that does not cannot last.
In this sense, saturation, overload or exhaustion can show us the more serious side of something that we had tried to normalize, but this requires another look.
In fact, with Mars and Jupiter in conjunction, assertiveness, competitiveness, and fighting spirit might be the most logical means of asserting yourself in a confrontation. Major messages, debates or conflicts of opinion mark the course of action.
The climate opens the door to moral attacks and slights, disagreements over how to solve a problem, and declared self-interest whose ends seek to justify dubious means.
To all this, Mars and Jupiter will join square Saturn, coinciding with the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 19, one of the most chaotic times of the year.
It is the first exact square between Jupiter and Saturn. We will still have to wait for a second in December, and a third in May. The big debate here is: open or close? Diversify or persevere? To trust or to protect? Do you venture or wait? To fight or to be patient?
At least until the last place, in May 2025, the path will not be completely clear, so let’s not hope for a definitive exit yet: we will have to explore!
Do you remember any important experiences from April? The square of Mars and Saturn advances the issues of the eclipse of April 8, in a very demanding atmosphere in terms of activity, commitment and concentration. I think it will be difficult to maintain a minimum of discipline this month, but we will have to look for strategies to maintain motivation, take care of where we put our energy and organize priorities.
In August, there is no other. We will have to assume and overcome challenges that, for many, could turn into a storm. Although the storm interferes with the expected course of events, it provides an opportunity to reverse the aridity of the other waters; to sway the branches with other, freer winds.

Finally, a little unsolicited advice. 🙈 If something irritates or angers you this month, I suggest this question: what boundaries, schedules or personal spaces are being invaded or exceeded? What important thing for you is not respected?
Very often, beneath the anger lies a source of sadness. Embrace this: respect and value your efforts, whatever part you can’t control. And don’t let social pressures make you neglect something that’s important to you. Pay attention to your reasons, values and motivations.
Hugs, chichis! Joyful, incendiary, dynamic, busy month! 😉💛
