YOUR ASTRO COCKTAIL- WEEK OF AUGUST 10, 2010

Are you ready for a nice New Moon week? The New Moon in the sign of Leo is the perfect time to put more fun into your life and to explore your creativity. Why not stop by your favorite make up counter and try on some colors from the new fall make up palette? Make sure that you wrap up any deals and finalize important decisions before the planet Mercury goes retrograde on August 20TH. Anything of importance that doesn't get done before the retrograde is best left to rest until mid September. The current line up of planets challenges all of us to fly high like an eagle and embrace any new changes that come into our life. We have to stop being little chicken s**** that say "cluck you" when it comes to being pushed out of our comfort zone. Be happy and never let your self worth ride on the measure of your success. We are all accomplished and successful in our own way.


As Above, So Below"~Hermes

Uranus moving out of your sign by the end of the week gives you a breather from all of the unexpected nonsense that you have been dealing with lately.

Inability to work with others because of misunderstandings. Be a loner for awhile.


If something isn't working out as planned then split. Don't be the last one to leave the party.

It seems that you are also getting tired of that demanding person around you so now is as good a time as any to take a much needed break from their b*******. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Six of Cups linking into memories from the past. Feeling nostalgic and reflecting on the past brings insight.

Look at both sides before committing to any potential plans. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Seven of Wands showing success and overcoming obstacles. Things work out to your advantage.

Your splash of tarot for the week is the Lovers card showing harmony and a new beginning. Freedom of emotions will set you free. Be yourself.


Part of you may want to hold on tight while the other part of you is willing to let something or someone go. Let go my dear Babe and recognize that too tight of a grasp can also feel like a strangle hold. Let the past bring insight into what you want to do next. Mercury going retrograde in your tenth house gives you the opportunity to double back, rethink and recheck any plans to do with career and personal status.

In a blink of an eye it appears that your past efforts around a certain project are about to get the boost that it needs to take off. Did someone sprinkle fairy dust on you?
